"...the Jewish population of Palestine, composed principally of immigrants, increased from less than 10 per cent in 1917 to over 30 per cent in 1947."

If "forcible relocation of the people who already live there" was such an outrageous barrier, Israel wouldn't exist in the first place.

Our office will be 'patrolled' by First Order stormtroopers tomorrow (between the hours of 10a-12p PST), in observance of May the 4th.

In his larger remarks on the state of affairs he talked about coming home to watch All In The Family and M*A*S*H and several other shows that came and went 40+ years ago. lol His co-creator just had a show about his morally reprehensible alter ego until like just the other day, and he old-aged out o...

To paraphrase René Belloq, there is nothing Baltimore fans have that the Steelers cannot take away.

At least now they have a QB analyst who started games well into the years that start with '2'.

The joke is that 'trans' itself is the bad intentions insofar as all the macho straight males are concerned. It's not a layered multi-faceted complex web of deceit that the cops find revolting. They aren't creeped out that Einhorn stole someone's identity and murdered someone in a ploy to exact reve...

The premise of the bit was anti-trans at its core when it was conceived and performed. It's just that when it was conceived and performed being anti-trans wasn't viewed as being as lame brained as it is today. Finkle/Einhorn wasn't the same as Jame Gumb/Buffalo Bill in Silence Of The Lambs where the...

I'm sorry, what

The joke is that trans people gross normies out. There are like 20 cops in the reveal scene, and I didn't recall if they all had 'relations' w Einhorn. But there's a cutaway of the stupid dolphin being grossed out. When Ace finds out and gets physically ill, burns his clothes, and takes a rape showe...

At PSU in 1986 there was a "shantytown" in between the two walkways from the Allen Street entrance up to Willard building demanding that PSU divest from South Africa. Much less involvement than today's protests and most people ignored them.

PSU did divest, though, right?

..............because she's trans?

I'm not disagreeing with you Skully, but to be fair you'd say that about him sort of without any regard to whatever the objective reality may be.

The movie where the guy has his still-beating heart ripped from his chest on camera: "Let's roll"

The movie that verbally indicates a character is trans: "I have questions"

lol

Vanderbilt I think was about a divestiture vote or something. The students/protesters were barred entry into a building, and a few of them barged past security; they're the expelled and suspended students. I don't know any details beyond that (or, honestly, if even that bit is totally accurate - the...

Outside of test flights, when is the last time a launch vehicle exploded in the atmosphere? And it's not like these would be orbital missions. Literally, fire that s**t into the sun.

Some more regarding the USC protests In a fit of bravery from which all of the world should take inspiration, the university has cancelled all commencement activities outright and the campus is currently in a state of quasi-lockdown. If following a typical 4-yr track, the 2024 graduating class would...

And I think Kenyon Green has played more games. (He's certainly thrown fewer picks)

I'm very pro-nuke, but "if done properly" bears quite the burden in that equation.

Let's also remember that Roger Ebert died in 2013.

When I was a teenager and just getting into that sort of stuff I watched their show (every Sunday, iirc), and it was just the absolute worst when they would agree on something.

That phrase of “it’s not what you know but who…” is true in the sense that if you’re likable as well as hard working you’ll be much better off. I would say there's nuance to this idea, it's more active. It doesn't really matter who you know, it's who knows you. And that's a function of making yours...

I have a co-worker who is the same age I was when I moved to CA. (That means she had not yet been born when I moved to CA.) The other day I had to explain to her who Roger Ebert was.

Meanwhile, in Washington DC............................... I think Biden's dog got up to two dozen bite incidents before it was removed from the residence. I'm a pretty lenient dog-friendly type of person, but I have to say that's like 20+ more incidents than most places would give a dog. The dog th...
