Leo Farnsworth, obviously another ancestor of Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth.

Funny. I do the same thing for my dog (think “frozen chewable toy, with peanut butter in it”). I think she’s probably far more impressed than my nephew would be.

I used a meal delivery service exactly once. The driver was handed two orders at the same time. Mine was 1 minute and a half from the restaurant, the other was a half-hour in the opposite direction. I got my meal over an hour later. I called the restaurant when the meal was late and was told what happened, so I called…

5-14 days for symptoms (for the 70-80% who show symptoms), 2-4 days for people to admit they really have symptoms, 1-2 days to arrange a test and up to 4 days to process and record the results of that test. Screw the 7-day floating average, look at 2 weeks or more.

“I think it wiser, moreover, not to keep open the sores of war but to follow the examples of those nations who endeavored to obliterate the marks of civil strife, to commit to oblivion the feelings engendered.”

Cotton demand as a motivation is a questionable point. When the civil war occurred, both cotton demand and prices were so low (due to extreme oversupply and the growth of the “Egyptian cotton” industry) that even the European countries (who desperately wanted to back the Confederacy and supply them with arms) refused…

Every situation like this needs to begin with a few very simple facts: There’s a world of difference between wanting forgiveness and actual repentance. There is almost no difference between the phrases “We made mistakes” and “mistakes were made.” - and neither of them usually expresses repentance. Sincere repentance…

You’re absolutely wrong about this, and you’re already losing support over it. Your definition of “defund” isn’t getting nearly as much traction in the widespread public as the conservatives screaming that “defund” implies “eliminating”. It’s already making a lot of the tentative support you’ve gained hesitate, and it…

The lawyer said “perpetually” but the quoted parts of the deed don’t mention that. Quote the full deed, then we’ll talk.

So who is the paper’s owner? Either they’re behind it or someone has some serious dirt on them.

When it comes to “bad apples,” I agree with Chris Rock.

Look what happened when Texas was able to go out and get a haircut.

It’s far better to pray for what the country should stand for than to stand for what it doesn’t.

There’s literally a note on the bottom of this report that the authors believe the reported numbers are actually inflated by about 3%, due to unknown calculation errors. They swear it’s not that the numbers have been manually tampered with, but they have no explanation.

For four years, the NFL has actively demonstrated that ANY black player who spoke out of turn would not only lose their job, they would lose their entire career and be publicly trashed at every opportunity. Not only that, they have proven that if ANY of their other employees, coaches or owners broke rank with this…

On the other hand, in Texas, if there is a day reporting no new Covid infections, that usually means it’s Monday - most test results aren’t processed over the weekend, and the first two days of the week, the reporting systems are usually fighting a backlog. If they crow about the “floating weekly comparison”, look…

Given that this report covers the previous month, I suspect that a lot of those new “Jobs” are people who took on jobs as Domino’s drivers just to get some form of paycheck on the table, though it’s not nearly as good a paycheck as what they had before losing their job in the previous month.

I can’t even say “This is how far you have to go to be disowned by the Texas GOP”, because 90% of this is timing. Without the protests, this sort of lunatic description of a black man’s tragic murder wouldn’t even raise an eyebrow among prominent Texas Republicans.

Trump wants an American Tienanmen Square. He wants a bloody military putdown so he can claim that protesters are “revolutionaries” (justifying using the Insurrection Act) and justify investigating and arresting the “criminals”.

If you can’t take Biden, just remember A) which candidate is more likely to keep a decent selection of humanity around them, and B) which candidate is more likely to actually listen to those people.
