Blastfurnace 2024
Just fine, actually. I made it through security in about five minutes.

Blastfurnace 2024
Just back from a nice five-mile run through downtown. Wasn’t really bothered by a single homeless person. And not an ounce of feces in sight. sorry to disappoint.

Blastfurnace 2024
Landed at SFO at 7:00 this evening. Outside temperature was 57*. That anyone would willingly move from here to Austin absolutely boggles the mind.

McDouble is 'cheapest and most nutritious food in human history'
I mean, if you're saying that only a homeless person should eat at McDonald's, then I guess I'll concede the point.

2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.
On what do you need elaboration? American prosperity depends greatly on the domestic and international rules-based order that was created in the aftermath of World War II.

I'm going to say that as a purely conceptual discussion of constitutional law, political philosophy, and the separation-of-powers doctrine, I understand this argument. I maybe don't agree with it, but I understand the theoretical bases for it. But in practice, it has no merit. Injustice cannot go unremedied on the basis of vague constructs of political philosophy. And to the extent your political philosophy permits such an outcome, then your philosophy is flawed.

I have that book on my office bookshelf. But I have removed the dust jacket for precisely that reason. It is a great book, though, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. I may have to go re-read it at some point. Nah--fuck that. I'm afraid I'm going to live it soon enough.- The Supremes
I mean, say what you will about the Nazis, but they didn't appropriate the tricolor of the Weimar Republic or steal the flag of the German Empire. Fuck no--they went out and created their own flag with its own design. Which, admittedly, they lifted the Hindus. But still . . . . I wish our Nazis would make up their own fucking symbol and leave the good Revolutionary flags for those of us who actually support the country the Revolution founded. I obviously feel seen.- The Supremes
As someone who is fascinated by flags, I'm totally here for these scandals of a vexilological nature.- 2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.
This is 100% true. But the real irony is that they're winners in the present order of things. Tear down the federal government, and they're likely not to be in nearly as good shape as they are today. They'll be poorer, less safe, and less healthy. But they don't get that at all. An amazing paradox of Americans today is that they all think they're in the top 10% of income earners or wealth (if not the top 1%), but they all feel aggrieved by the "system." It's just a really weird dynamic that has developed over the past twenty years.- Brexit shenanigans
British democracy--and democracy worldwide, to be honest--really are on the decline, aren't they?- Brexit shenanigans
If you don't go out to see the canvasing results for Uxbridge and South Ruislip to witness firsthand how Lord Buckethead performs, well . . . you're just not the Penelope Witherspoon I thought I knew and admired.- Brexit shenanigans
General election set for July 4. The Tories are about to get buttfucked.- The Dallas Stars 2024 Playoffs Thread
Fuck no--the high temperature in Edmonton next week is probably still in the low 20s. Yeah, it was. That sheet was amazing. That's one thing I hate about the "modern" NHL. The NHL I grew up watching had little idiosyncrasies about each barn. Edmonton had its high-speed ice. Boston and San Jose had their tiny ice surfaces. The Igloo had a retractable roof for some reason. I mean, fuck--the ice at Reunion would famously melt this time of year. Now everything's all standardized. And I suppose that's good from a competition standpoint. But it's just kind of boring.- The 2024 Quest for Lord Stanley's Cup - general NHL playoffs discussion thread

Agree completely. They want to turn this into a resource-extraction colony of Eastern capital akin to Wyoming and West Virginia. And for my part, I’m kinda already there, mentally. Mrs.LL is from New York, and that’s where we’re retiring to. I’m a sixth-generation Texan—my family arrived here shortly after the Past Unpleasantness Between the States—but I’ve already started regarding myself as an New Yorker in waiting. I’m just here long enough to extract my share of the state’s wealth before getting the fuck out. - The Supremes
