The English teachers, are they insisting on returning to second person singular “thee/thou/thine?”

Well:

Thanks for the handy list of gender neutral pronoun alternatives that have been floating around during the past couple of decades. In the past year, though, it seems from my experience that there has been a growing consensus toward the they/them/their/theirs among those folks I know whop *do* prefer gender-neutral…

Or for that matter, the Maltese Falcon.

And Mueller did not need Vladimir Putin, Julian Assange or any other shady characters to get the e-mails

A LONGISH SENTENCE THE TRUMPISTI DO NOT WANT AMERICA TO SEE

Back in the 1950's when I was a small child growing up in Brooklyn, New York, I remember seeing trolley-buses running on electricity via catenary wires that ran above the street

my doctors have modernized their practices - moving from writing out paper ‘scrips to doing them electronically and forwarding them either to the insurer’s mail-order pharmacy (for long term meds) or to a local pharmacy (for the short term meds).

It’s much more likely that someone who is outwardly a conservative Republican like former mayor Kirk Humphreys would be a pedophile. I can cite scripture to that effect:

My advice to Jeannine Pirro (who used to be my county’s district attorney) is that “people who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.” Even divorce can’t wash off the stench.

MSNBC has done a number of boneheaded things in the recent past. For example, I was deeply disappointed at the way they treated Melissa Harris-Perry. And now the thing with Sam Seder - at least this time the powers-that-be backed down from the precipice.

While you’re at it, why not recommend their (Mane ‘n Tail) hoof care product for maintaining fingernails/toenails?

I adapted Buzz (without drinking) to play with my kids (and their soccer teammates). It is a counting game where any number that has a 7 in it or is a multiple of 7 is not said, but the word “buzz” is substituted. It works best once the kids have mastered times tables It worked from about ages 8 through 12. Especially…

I originally bought a bunch of these as “insurance” after I bought a convertible handbag/backpack on Amazon that had several reviews about some of the hardware breaking easily. It turned out the reviews were right, and since I was carrying a coupe of these in the bag when the strap connector broke, it only took…

We’re talking ownership of uranium mines in the USA. Nothing about exporting any uranium that gets mined (which is what I think a lot of the hoi polloi in the GOP are thinking - that somehow the Russians are going to use imported American uranium to build nuclear bombs to “bury” us).

Get a little schmaltz in there, too, and you’ve got a variety of food processor turducken.

I rented one of these (not sure what the model year was, but it was ca. 1995 or 1996) once for a family vacation when my 1992 Dodge Caravan got sick - if I remember correctly, the Ford power steering had a “dead” feel to it for some reason - but everything else about it was fine, and I gave it excellent points for the…
