Oh honey. If you need a DJ for that, you just let me know.

You’ve got that backwards - so-called ‘president’ Trump has your dog’s palate.

See, and I’m thinking, who the hell is pooping at 3 in the afternoon besides my dog? That’s a first thing in the morning job.

I’ve heard there can be (whispers) *Colored People* in some of them..

..decorators?

Well of course; this is why that argument has been specious from the get-go. The actual motivating factor is not ‘protecting women’ - because when has the right ever cared about that? - but denying trans people their dignity & rights by labelling them perverts. Those who push such laws refuse to accept transsexuals…

So far so good, thanks!

Nah, that still wouldn’t work. Because you didn’t single out THEIR personal Bog or god or whatever as THE one-true-right-and-only. Because they’re all so certain in their faith they need to have it reinforced at every possible opportunity ::rolleyes::

I can’t quote chapter & verse, but there’s a bit in the bible where Jesus says ‘I was hungry, and you did not feed me’ etc. Is that in Matthew? Seems like none of these ultra-slick prosperity megachurches are at all familiar with that particular gospel.

Yes but pre-meditated by who, and under what circumstances? Not by her I don’t believe; and under circumstances that included loads of mind-altering drugs in what became the very definition of a cult. I highly doubt that absent those circumstances she would have ever killed much more than a fly.

As an Old, I feel I must disagree with the assertion that ‘children have always been frightened of clowns’. Clowns were perfectly acceptable as children’s entertainment for decades - only in recent times have we looked at them askance. Not only It but Killer Klowns from Outer Space, Bobcat Goldthwait’s Shakes the…

Dear Hollywood:

I don’t understand what makes FB think I’d *want* to know these people. Not to mention that their algorithms limit you to seeing posts from only two dozen or so of who they think are your current closest friends. Since they steadfastly refuse to allow a full, real-time, chronological view, what’s the point of…

I should clarify that I don’t watch TV at all, and am on the far side of the pond from where GBBO takes place. Honestly not sure if I’d even heard of the show before Noel was cast. I didn’t mean to cast aspersions; just saying *I* wouldn’t be particularly interested in it. I realize lots of other folks feel…

I am - perturbed - that there is a linked article to this entitled only ‘Oh No’. Looked at the old lineup cast photos and saw absolutely zero reason to ever tune it in. Have seen the trailer for the new one, and its intriguing; the fact that Noel is a host guarantees that I’ll be taking a look at it at *some* point. …

..and just where on AO3 might someone find that? I mean, if anyone were looking.. *cough*

Boo. I haven’t watched TV since around the time Xena was running in her first incarnation, but I would *totally* have made an exception for this had it happened.

Re the priests - the charges in those days ran more to sacrificing Christian babies to their heathen gods (and/or harvesting their blood for use in ‘unspeakable rites’) but you are essentially correct. Demonizing the Other by making accusations against them that involve heinous actions against Our Innocents (children,…

Go on.. I’m listening.

And then, just to make sure we hit all the peak crazy liberal buttons for him, let’s put a chunk of funding into the underlying causes that lead people to feel self-medicating is their only choice: you know, poverty, feelings of hopelessness due to lack of options, substandard housing, lack of accessible green space -…
