Add a little extra time to sterilize. It's the only way to make sure.

Sigh... the people from those 290,000 cannot write anything about their experiences now, because they are dead. It is too late for them to create historical records. During those times, since the majority of children died in infancy and many more in childhood, it was iffy whether each generation would be larger or smaller than the previous. Whatever food they gathered had to be shared with everyone because the tribe could not afford anyone starving if that could be prevented. War with neighboring tribes was generally too risky, but if it was a choice between that or extinction, the war was frankly genocidal in its aim, possibly sparing some captive women for single men to breed with. Trying to portray this as some golden age of "equality" is "noble savage" romanticism of the stupidest kind.

KiddieMe used to watch them all the time! (Post-radio)...

They were so strange to me, but facinating and funny!

HehIt looks like even the infrastructure bill, let alone the voting rights bill, won't make it into law. There're your "centrists": Manchin, Sinema, Kelly, Warner, et al.

"Demand and supply." Not the opposite.

If colleges went back to their original purpose of educating people, that would be a good place to start. Colleges aren't colleges anymore; they're businesses.

On the other hand, your Squad unanimously refused to support the Capitol security bill, just like the Republicans. So, good job.

Now where's that GND bill? I thought time was short, or was that just posturing? Who am I kidding, of COURSE it was posturing.

Let's note that the losses in last year's elections occurred primarily among moderates. Plz make sure your guy Manchin steps up.

I'm not familiar with that.

Let's note that a progressive has never flipped a seat in a red district, not even briefly.

So where's that GND bill? There's no time to waste, so I assume that the combined intellect and passion of the progressive wing is on the case?

... no?

Isn't it funny how little the progressive wing has ever accomplished. Y'all love to complain about centrists, but when push comes to shove, the progressive wing is all talk and no action.

If Wonkers can complain about their neighbors having sex too early in the morning or what Meghan and Harry name their kid I can certainly mention a peeve of mine. And I have no interest in any backstory.

Heh.As an active Democrat, I've worked with plenty of moderates. Which county central committee do you belong to? You're an elected precinct worker, right?
