You did not go to space that day.

I actually went poking at Fishback's platform the other day and if I were a FL voter who cares mostly about their pocketbook his economic proposals would appeal to me.
I can see how this is happening.

Interested to see just exactly what "LOL, no" looks like fully justified.

There isn't really a good remedy for it. They're playing to human nature. We want to help out other people and be conversational.

I'm assuming that you've got some sort of replacement for Kathryn lined up before you issue this instruction?

One guy who gets radicalized by the internet probably hasn't broken any laws until the moment he rams his car into the building. Not a lot the FBI can do in that scenario.

OTOH, we should hold FIFA Peace Prize winners to a higher standard

"Counsel, can you direct me in the record to where it's identified as a poisonous snake?"

A Nazi who was excited about the idea of "civilizing with a Krag," yes

Using some sort of UFC fighting move?

We've had to resort much, much more to asking Congressional offices to step in, because we can at least expect their inquiry letters to receive an informed response. These are things we used to be able to handle with just a good contact at the local office.

It is. But our friends across the sea need teasing about it now and then.

The big problems are difficulty of communications and brain drain. SSA's new phone system makes it MUCH more difficult to speak with who you need to in field offices and the loss of staff means that the new people, who you can at least occasionally get on the phone, don't know how to fix problems

This way we'll receive the oil pre-burnt. Efficiency!

I did chemistry in school, but I've never thought about sulphur before. Sulfur, on the other hand...

Well, your lawyer is cursing your lineage anyway. “Anyone know the time” is a yes/no question. Don’t be giving more information than necessary.

Just as soon as we have a dilithium moderated anti-matter fueled generator up and running we’ll be able to manage our fossil fuel supply.

A pessimist would have something to say here.

Portions, yes, but not all of the Jesus references.

I mean, that's straight Fs in a semester after decent grades in earlier semesters. Speaks to me of someone who dropped out without bothering to withdraw from the classes, not someone who had difficulty with the material.

I think you may be operating with an idiosyncratic definition of "retreat"

Denys Beecher @dbeecher.bsky.social‬ Yeah, this strikes me as someone who always meant what she ultimately retreats to, but overstated her case. She knew better. 3:50 PM · Mar 11, 2026

I mean, you could have actually read the thing that you were replying to. It was all of a sentence and a half long.

I was inspired. I had an old Time Team episode on in the background at the time. Excavation of a possible Anglo-Saxon royal site in Kent.

Yeah, this strikes me as someone who always meant what she ultimately retreats to, but overstated her case. She knew better.

How about addressing the historicity of several centuries of Anglo-Saxon kings, from the withdrawal of the Romans until Bede begins writing?

Well, you seem to be conveniently ignoring other things. You never got around to the dating of the Pauline epistles.

Firing transgender managers, I believe

"You don't really believe that Jesus was LITERALLY a real person..."
