“ I’m absolutely on Israel’s side (although it would help tremendouslyif they could oust Netanyahu), and I’m also on the Palestinian people’s side.”

“But that this threat doesn’t seem to phase some lawmakers”

i thought we had to refer to people by the names they indicate that they prefer, or else. 

“Rowling’s repugnant politics”

it doesn’t take a “landlord stan” to think that your framing and treatment of that subject was a bit questionable. you wrote, “landlords could still keep a running tally of how much to bleed out of them as soon as they were given the governmental all-clear” as if the appropriate response is for landlords to waive rent…

“Your “reporting” is so one-sided it’s comical! You can disagree with policies, but condoning this type of violence perpetrated by Hamas is not ok.”

“you’d see additional power coming from renewable sources instead of non-renewable sources.”

team pyrex over here. 

this is a good idea and i am about to try it now, but i’m the type of person who would drink the leftover vinaigrette from my salads as a kid (and we liked ‘em 50-50 in my house, none of this 2-1 oil-acid ratio nonsense) so this is clearly right up my alley. for my money the only good straight vinegar is balsamic,…

bout to try this with papplemousse.

minor quibble: gaetz, while repugnant and white, is not old.

very true. but in this specific case we’d realize the harms of the new transmission line without the benefits of new renewable power generation. 

i think what they were clumsily getting at is this part:

this is more or less how we do it (though lots of genre is mixed in with the “good fiction” and we don’t have any hidden shame shelves), but honestly i feel like i know the shape and color of most of our sizable collection of books to the point where i could navigate an arranged-by-color system without too much…

not sure i agree.
