“Bespoke” meaning a custom or one-off design is not a “thing” in American colloquial English. It’ll send most of us running to the dictionary.

I always thought of Mushmouth from Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids when I heard the word “bespoke.”. No doubt due to his creator’s crimes, Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids has been memory holed.

So, I note that the Forums still aren’t restored. If the data is lost, will it at least be restarted by restoring the topics? I’m particularly missing the “Nobody saw this coming” thread following The Warning’s musical progress.

I see that your wit turns influencers’ intellectual junk food into a banquet.

Jake:

Agreed. Regime change is THE GOAL. Islamic stay in power and the goal is same but with greater urgency.

It’s your goal and my goal, but Trump’s goal evidently doesn’t extend beyond his next Big Mac, his next Diet Coke, his next bowel movement in his diaper, his next Truth Social post, his next press meeting, and his next scheme.

Now we see where SNL got the inspiration for this:

It’s Art Imitating Life Imitating Art imitating Life across the Pond! 🇺🇸🤝🇬🇧

The only difference is that one is subsidized by Medicare and the other is subsidized by the NHS, all under the name of hospitals’ “Allopathic,” “Integrative,” or…[Read more]

Regime change issue?

Citing prior instances is worthless if it lacks nuance in how the circumstances and external factors are alike and distinguishable.

If it is true that the great majority of Iranians including diaspora despise the government and recognize Islam is the problem then it can happen under the right conditions. The problem…

What do Americans consider immoral? (turning left on red is not there).

This is very interesting.  “Marital infidelity” is way out in front by miles, with only 2% finding it morally acceptable.  That’s the only one that is on my list of evolved “moral domains” – sexual pair-bonding.  It would be interesting to see ho…[Read more]

Did you hear about the homeopathy patient who overdosed? He forgot to take his medication.

The Alkaline Water kick is hilarious. The Kangen Water brand not only sells the bottled product, but also offers a home and commercial alkaline water machine if you can spare multiple thousands of dollars.

Trump already has the reputation among MAGA of playing 4-D chess.

Problem is he plays it with everyone, not just national and civilizational enemies.

Reg:

It would depend on which nickname he has.

If he is “Keg’s-breath”, he would divine from his spirits in a bottle. 🥃🍾

If he is “Hog’s-Breath”, he would divine from pig’s entrails such as RFK’s Rx of liver.🐖🐷

Jake:

I think Iran war is to point of no return. Agree completely regarding its execution. However, at this point if A & I (see what i did there?) declare victory and allow the regime to remain in power I think it is going to be a blood bath of historical note.

I see what you did there. I’m just not encouraged by the thought. What passes for…[Read more]

HELLO! I asked a couple posts back and even private messaged Reg to ask and no answer so far.

What happened to the forums? Were they wiped out during an update? When will they be restored? When will we be able to post there again? Or will we?
