I was going to add that being labelled as “alternative” is quite an achievement for two artists and a band whose collective music experience adds up to about 100 years.

I’d put it a lot earlier than that. Nominees for the Best Alternative Album include Radiohead, Iggy Pop and David Bowie.

And that would be if he were lucky. Unfortunately, there is no indication that he has a conscience, at least about matters like this, which is how he got into trouble in the first place.

Aside from the yoke detail and the doubled-under hem, it’s a pretty easy knit. I can knit it, have a drink, and watch Netflix all at the same time.

I’m working on this knitty.com sweater, but with a background yarn with just enough colour variation to make it interesting, while you can still see the yoke pattern. It’s slow going with tiny needles, but I think it will be worth it.

You seem surprised Donald Trump has no time for intelligence.

Oh, I see. Gotcha.

Not that I am in any way an expert, but judging from people I know on similar medications, you don’t necessarily HAVE to have horrific effects when you stop. In fact, I know only one who got into serious trouble, so she got a prescription for something else, and is now fine.

Wish I could rejoin “well, not any more!” But experience shows that he will have defenders and fans, of both genders.

Don’t you give me the side eye.

The defense may say he intended to put them in a private file, and missed.

Don’t get your hopes up. It’s another low budget 1970s-style sitcom-farce; the only point of interest being is that the witless lines are read by characters called Adolf and Eva, rather than George and Gladys. If you absolutely must watch, some of it is available on YouTube.

There are a number of documentaries, on both the FLDS and on more mainstream Mormonism. Many of them are available on YouTube. Prophet’s Prey is the most prominent recently. Not sure, but it may be on Netflix. Below is an interview with the film makers.

Canada doesn’t have the megachurches by U.S. standards, but a few years ago, a theatre in my city that was the site for Lloyd Webber musicals and Riverdance was bought out by a U.S.-based church. What a slap in the face, especially since its doctrine has a severe case of the non-gays.

A devout Muslim woman is in a beauty contest? Um, pardon? I thought Islam was in part about despising the vanities and snares of this world. But they said that about Christianity.

Don’t know if this has anything to do with anything, but I’m a white lady who can’t find employees anywhere at night, or even during the day, at certain stores. They’re severely understaffed, and when a manager’s not around, no one gives a shit. When I’m in a hurry, I’m not going to waste 20 minutes looking for…

What the other guy said, plus why would you even want to hang around even longer, let alone to buy the kind of cheese CVS is likely to have?

Curiouser and curiouser.

Goes without saying.

Wiki has something interesting to say about NC’s motivation.
