So Comer calls AOC "well-spoken." I wonder if he considers Hakeem Jeffries "articulate."

I'm not sure what fiddlebritches are but I'd like to see Comer outfitted with a particularly tight pair, fixed up with a dog collar (with them S&M silver spike thingies) and chain and forced to walking around on his hands and knees saying "This old dog couldn't find a bone if it was shoved up his ass".

Yeah, I'd like that.

So apparently PAB has been threatening to sue Bob Woodward along with Simon&Schuster.

While it'll grow increasingly tiring both to watch the litigously thin skinned shitbag bring suits against anyone who hurt his fee-fees, I have few kind things to say about Woodward, who has spent the last several years holding onto damning information about that fucker, only to release it in book format when it served him to receive material gain, then act as though he were still a storied journalist, standing athwart the country's authoritarian march shouting "no!".

Since a president can't be sued while in office because it is a distraction, shouldn't a president be barred from suing for the same reason?

jltympanum's avatar

By the same reasoning, a president shouldn't be allowed to have a side hustle, like a real-estate, name-licensing, or perfume business. Or, if they insist on doing such things, then they should be subject to the same risk of legal proceedings as any other citizen.

Oh noes - A russian General died in a WAR? Unthinkable.

-----

Blood, soot and the mangled remnants of a scooter marked the spot in Moscow where a top Russian general was killed by a bomb.

Ukraine stopped short of a formal claim of responsibility but quietly let the role of its security services be known.

With Trump vowing to bring a swift end to the war in Ukraine, analysts say both sides aim to inflict heavy blows for leverage in any negotiations.

WASHINGTON — On the snowy sidewalk of a drab residential street in Moscow, blood, soot and the mangled remnants of an electric scooter marked the spot where a top Russian general was assassinated — and signaled a potentially dangerous new phase of the war in Ukraine.

Coming just over a month before President-elect Donald Trump takes office, the bombing that killed Lt. Gen. Igor Kirillov and his assistant on Tuesday was widely attributed to Ukraine, which stopped short of a formal claim of responsibility but quietly let the role of its security services be known.

Kirillov, 54, was the highest-ranking Russian military figure to die outside the battlefield since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine nearly three years ago. With the U.S. president-elect vowing to bring a swift end to the fighting, analysts say both sides are scrambling to inflict heavy blows aimed at achieving maximum leverage in any upcoming negotiations.

“This is a new chilling stage in this war,” former Ukrainian government minister Tymofiy Mylovanov wrote on X, casting the killing as part of an apparent retaliatory campaign in which Russia has similarly targeted Ukrainian military officials.

Excerpt from current work in progress. Narrator's feline and female:

_________________________________________

That’s the thing I like about Marcy. No matter where or when, she’s usually up for some sort of fun. Whether it’s a dance party, drinking, or letting someone like me [REDACTED], if she’s off duty she’ll say Yes more than No. When she’s on the clock, though, she’s all business.

Wait, I hear you say. ‘She,’ and she’s got a penis? Yes indeed; Marcy’s what in their language is called a hi’han, literally ‘a she with a penis.’ Nice set of tits on her too, by the way; both genders have breasts. No prizes for guessing what hi’chev means.

It’s why they avoid wearing anything below the waist, if you know what I mean and I think you do. I’m dressed similarly, because when in Rome.

Now for the person she's talking about, and an example of my worldbuilding:

_____________________

M'rccr p drv vz drd pe Jyrmm f'i Wzizkz Tcre is her full name and clan affiliation, so you can see why ‘Marcy’ is a good nickname for her. She’s got a good sense of humor, so she goes along with it. She’s an Yh’gen, a race of anthro small-clawed otters from Alternity RHS-4434, and I’m rather proud of the fact that I led the Temporal Corps first contact team when we dropped in to say Hello to their government. Their civilization already had warp drive and nanotech and had encountered a couple races in their own alternity, so they were pretty welcoming.

The last digit in my street address is 9. Across the street and a couple doors down is the address ending in 6...

Airport Uber drivers confuse this regularly, like 50%, "It's a crapshoot!" regularly.

Other Ubes manage the mysteries of house numbers with typical precision, just not airport bound drivers. This phenomenon needs a look...

Present theories involve coffee and the lack there of, indifference, and/or "4:30 is too damn early!"

I do volunteer work that requires driving in the dark to make deliveries. You would be shocked at how hard it is to see house numbers even with porch lights on. The best way to find a place in the dark is the the numbers painted on the curb, but not all houses have those.

Notorious J.I.M.'s avatar

After a couple instances suggested the house number wasn't very readable, I retrieved the original 1950 cedar with aluminum numbers. Modestly reflective numbers on a somewhat dark wood background at a 30 degree angle. So now I have one of those houses with the number in more than one spot.

To be fair, I have known many faithful people who did the actual work of their faith, and not just the mouth noises. I myself do not believe, necessarily, in a deity, but I recognize the human need to find comfort in something (or someone) bigger than themselves.

Fer example, Jimmy Carter. Big believer in imaginary things. One hell of a good person anyway.

"And now, for a report from our correspondent in West Shoulderstan, let's go to Breen Needleman. Breen"?

"Hi, Tom. I'm reporting from West Shoulderstan, where the dominant Shoulderstani tribe live in the dominant arm of the Shoulderstan Mountains. With us is Striatus Musselman. Striatus"?

"Breen, over thirteen hours ago, our peaceful territory was brutally invaded by armies from the Anti-Flu and Anti-Covid factions with kinetic weapons."

"Sounds terrible, Striatus. But isn't this in service of a greater good"?

"Then why didn't they attack the *non*-dominant arm of the *East* Shoulderstan Mountains"?

"From what I've been told, because the East Shoulderstan mountains have six titanium pins, two screws, and a plate holding together a fissure at Humerus Valley. And there was some fear that the kinetic spikes might shatter and do even *more* damage. "

Ah yes, I had a migraine Monday, which meant I felt good yesterday. I only slept 11 hours Monday night, plus two one hour naps on Tuesday. Today, I am back to feeling exhausted even after sleeping 10 hours, and the sleep feels great but I wake up and feel like I could go right back to bed and sleep three more hours. I probably will, in fact.

I have a doctor appointment schedule for Feb 14th, so I am stuck feeling like this until AT LEAST then when I expect my hormone tests to come back completely normal and they tell me there is nothing they can do for me. But I am hoping they'll say I just need some hormone replacement therapy.

This is like the inverse Wonk sleep problem--I can't stay awake.
