  1. Yes, I am a hypocrite. I would choose to kill that ratfucker, rather than allow others to be subjected by him.
  2. Much more concerned about political shenanigans. But, unfortunately, that’s a CR topic.
  3. Well, I included a link to the article which makes the claim. Here is the reference Nature cites, if you want to dig into the data. Seo, K.-W. et al. Geo. Res. Lett. 50, e2023GL103509 (2023)
  4. Space.com claims: The Milankovitch cycles are the driving force behind ice ages, climate shifts and habitability of planets. Given that the tilt of Earth’s axis factors into the cycles, a Nature.com report infers humans have at least some effect on climate, in that the pumping of groundwater has tilted the axis as much (as little) as 4.36cm per year. Sure, atmospheric carbon has its role, too. I was just struck by the effects of pumping groundwater. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-01993-z
  5. Uh, I fucking love fresh jalapeños. I prefer fresh jalapeños to pickled, on enchiladas, pizza, and beans. Pickled are better on bean and cheese nachos. Of course, I also don’t take pictures of my food. One, of many, things I like about MOD pizza is they offer fresh serrano peppers as a topping.
  6. Thanks tor sharing this. The character’s prayers to be accepted into the feminine soul, that was what was stretching my brain. I never considered the soul to be either/or with respect to gender. Food for thought. She also faced the question of what folks wanted from her. Perhaps we all, constantly, find ourselves on both sides of that query. My default answer is: community. To belong. To not be outside.. Was it Dylan who said, I’ll let you be in my dreams/world if I can be in yours?
  7. Beauty is a theme of Passenger. In a completely different context, Granellen says that beauty makes promises that beauty can’t deliver. My wife wept when I read her your earlier posts from today, and she said that your (speaking of the trans community in general) inner light is God’s beauty. And that is a promise that delivers.
  8. I took it to mean the woman was so eye catching, so stereotypically beautiful, that folks were reluctant to stop looking her way. The mentioned dinner was classic Cormac. I will describe it, generally, for someone who has yet to read the book, but in a spoiler.
  9. Why not done, that’s the question that comes to mind. What’s it going to take? Almost as if those corporate donors are sanguine about shitstorms.
  10. Yep. Realized after I posted, and corrected.
  11. Not political, but idgaf. Cormac includes a transgender character in “Passenger,” and I wanted to transcribe the paragraph that describes the way her dinner with the protagonist ends: “He watched her until she was lost among the tourists. Men and women alike turning to look after her. He thought that God’s goodness appeared in strange places. Dont close your eyes.”
  12. I always liked the in God we trust signs.
  13. Yep. Faulkner is an apt comparison.
  14. I remember Aurora Zygoiby,, from the Moor’s Last Sigh. And “hate fuck” would be entirely inaccurate, despite her becoming a total cunt from Hell.
  15. CM did not glorify violence. He made the horror of violence crystal clear.
  16. I read Passenger last night. Godspeed, Mr McCarthy.
  17. Tough way to go out. Great series, though. HOOK EM!
