Apropos of nothing in particular. Just some Sunday morning fun:

One of the hardest words to rhyme with is “poetry.”
Poets flop when the give it a goetry.
Long have they struggled,
But mostly they’ve bungled.
The wordsmiths mostly give up in woe-etry.

How to fix the American healthcare system.

Sunday School is dismal, is it not?

Sometimes I think I should change the focus away from Evangelicals and Bad Science but we can only tackle what we know about. I think there is a global denialism of the reality of Climate Change. It is not some future event but it is happening everywhere already. It could be that the general swing towards right…[Read more]

Sunday School is dismal, is it not? Most of the nonsense going on today might be because people do sense the climate is warming fast. A global denialism of reality is setting in. Cupping of hands over eyes while babbling loudly, LOL. Trump has brought manufacturing back to the US. The manufacture of every idiotic distraction possible.

Have  a great week everyone!

Speaking of therapists, did anyone ever notice that one space turns “therapist” into “the rapist”?

Also on QI…..If aspiring writers need a new pen they could buy one from Pen Island at http://www.penisland.com or if you need a therapist then you can find one listed on http://www.therapist.com

Ha! @Unseen

On QI once, Stephen Fry brought up the subject of ‘tmesis’ – a peculiar word that describes the insertion of a word into an existing word for descriptive emphasis.

Stephen Fry:- like abso-bloody-lutely, or un-fucking-believable.

Jo Brand:- or Scunthorpe

GOP bill deletes EV incentives. Trump screwed Musk without the lube. Let’s see that Nazi salute and little air jump again Elonka, LOL.

Assuming religious people are more moral than atheists without evidence is a conjunction fallacy driven by representativeness, not actual probability. Further reading here.

The “further reading” article is interesting.  Apparently, religious people don’t trust atheists because they think we’re rebellious and…[Read more]

….traditional Jewish bagel, lox, onion, and cream cheese…..

Lox arrived today so I will get some fresh bagels on the way home…..You might consider trying it with Masala Chai?

I will make them for my walk tomorrow. It might not sound the most appealing but when you sit down after a few hours walking (hiking) and taste it, it will be the…[Read more]

that lox looks outstandingly outstanding...

Yes, absolutely. It is the “real deal“. To the point of making you miss it any time you have lox from any other source. With lemon, freshly milled black pepper….and maybe a few drops of Tabasco (yes, the one at the back of the shelf). I have a friend who gets it shipped to his house in Alameda, CA on…[Read more]

A lot of lox for sale…..and maybe some tariff free whiskey’s on sale in the USA? Go on, make the horses pay for it 🙂

It is kind of amazing that there is not more resentment of Brits as it relates to the Irish. The shit during the famine was so damn cold.

I don’t recall ever hearing an Irish person bearing any ill will toward “the Brits” over the famine. There have been incidents involving “soccer hooliganism” but no reason is ever needed by the perpetrators to…[Read more]

That’s one thing I love about the Irish, they love reciting poetry and singing songs.

English.

If you’re English and you go to Ireland, it’s well to mind your manners.

An English friend of mine came to visit me in Ireland one summer (circa July 1991). We had shared a squat house together in London. He was looking forward to drinking a “skinful of real Irish Guinness”. I brought him to a traditional Irish bar (not a tourist one 😊) which w…[Read more]

The demographic time bomb that will consume China and is coming our way if we don’t do something may have a solution, and Peter Zeihan thinks he knows who will point the way.
