During the pandemic a charity that Kristi was involved with took on extra roles and ended up supplying two cooked meals a week to roughly 10% of the town. When the local churches were asked to help out, they initially declined saying that there was no poverty in Lossiemouth. Later on they'd change their minds and provide facilities to help out.

The churches said there was no poverty in the town? Dumbasses, their religion's founder said there'd be poor always.

BTW, I'm still up because there is a bee flying around this room, I can't catch it to let it outside, and every time I try to lie down it flies out from behind something and starts buzzing around the room some more. I know it wants to catch me asleep, crawl up into my nose, and sting my brain. I'm about to go get a shotgun.

Most jokes about sharks make sharks out to be stupid, but sharks can grow brand new teeth. Can the people telling the shark jokes grow brand new teeth? No, I don't think so. Maybe mutants but not most of us. So unless you're a tooth generating mutant, enough with the jokes about sharks being stupid.

It doesn't take intelligence to grow teeth.

I wonder if since I loath wrapping presents, if spray painting them would be an acceptable alternative?

I wonder how many old people who complain today that young people have no respect actually treated their elders respectfully when they were young. I'd bet very few...

^ I did. Or my Dad would have brought out the belt.

I have decided to quit drinking for good.

Now, I am going to drink for evil.

He signed on yesterday so he's OK: he just didn't post.

Newt has been gone for almost 2 weeks now.

As well as writing The Chronicles of Narnia, CS Lewis was also seriously into S&M, even having an alter ego whose name translated from Greek as 'Lover of the whip'. There were stranger things than Narnia in the back of that man's wardrobe.

If a group of anarchists had a leader then they are not anarchists. Or at least not very good ones.

Wondering lately what a reboot of Blake's 7 would look like...

As much as I'd love to see that, it wouldn't be the same with someone else playing Avon... or Servalan. Damn but she was hot. Avon and her really should have teamed up.

Just as a random aside, I am actually painting up some Federation troopers and a couple of robots from the show at the moment.

I am of the opinion lately that politics and religion are the exact same thing.
I was watching a film where the daughter of a German Pastor during WWII says- "My father was of the mind that he would not give up his Protestant faith for the new Nazi religion."
Which brings me to Evangelicals who belong to the cult of MAGA.
