Re "Giant Isopod": Though I am no more averse to the pill bugs in the garden than any other fellow, I was reassured to learn that this 10-inch model is not terrestrial.

Fun fact you can use at your next cocktail party: The "spiders" known as "Daddy Long-Legs" or harvestmen are not actually considered spiders, but are more closely related to isopods. (Even the most annoying drunk should leave you in peace after you share that tidbit with him.)

While Daddy Longlegs are not spiders, they are arachnids, and more closely related to spiders than to isopods. They all share an arthropod common ancestor, though.

Wanna bet that any girl who gets sexually assaulted at Harpeth Hall will be labeled a transphobic bigot?

The school simply needs to go bankrupt as sane parents choose somewhere else for their daughters' education.

Imagine for a second that it had been a Republican politician laughed at. Just think about how it would have been covered. Quite different, I suspect.

CDC drop quarantine and distancing..."

They never should have implemented them. I do not see how any of this was consistent with the constitution. Not to mention it didn't work. This was all political intended to make it easy to cheat on the 2020 election. Imagine masks, travel restrictions and distancing forever. I literally remember going to the supermarket and being chastised for going the wrong way on an aisle all to prevent the spread of covid. In less than two years Biden and the Democrats have destroyed faith in half a dozen federal agencies especially the CDC.

Me too. My response: "I identify as a salmon, and I'm swimming upstream." (and under my breath "@$$hole").

re CDC drops quarantine, distancing recommendations for COVID

QUOTE:

The changes, which come more than 2 1/2 years after the start of the pandemic, are driven by a recognition that an estimated 95% of Americans 16 and older have acquired some level of immunity, either from being vaccinated or infected, agency officials said.

Since we can all still catch and transmit covid, vaccinated or not, this is just a back handed admission that the social distancing and the quarantines never worked in the first place.

Either that or they are trying to regain a measure of authority by repealing edicts that are generally ignored anyway.

Another interesting FBI leadership narrative gone bad. It seems that numerous Navy witnesses to the TWA 800 crash are trashing the FBI fake investigation.

This is why every detail of the Trump warrant must be released to include the who or what source was used to obtain the warrant. Remember the fake FISA sources? Another fishing expedition. The FBI has been corrupted for decades. They protect the uniparty ruling elite. Anyone else be damned.

The flight 800 story was a cover up. I don't know why but there was something they didn't want us peons to know.

Ditto for the OK City bombing and the Las Vegas mass shooting. Not related except that there was something they had to cover up.

Laugh even harder at Beta O' Dork Butthead and throw in a WTF are you going to do about it Slick.
Note to the CPUSA (D) the COV-LARP is stale and played out.
Yes, there are still some sad sack maskaloids out and about for your laughing pleasure.
Isopods and roly polys are constructs of the white male patriarchy and will be redistributed in the spirit of egalitarian equity.
Comrade commissar Adams is the mayor of a sanctuary city and the world is welcome in the glorious CPUSA utopia, no shirking esteemed party member Adams, all are welcome.
Forward! Yes we can.

How much TDS do you need to have to believe Trump had physical access to important nuclear secrets, took them home in a box, was asked for them back, could clearly see they were dangerous secrets, and declined to return them. Because he needed them to build a bomb? Or to sell?

Hillary and Mueller moved Uranium to Russia. Maybe the FBI thinks Trump shouldn't have knowledge of that sale or Russia's donation to the Clinton foundation.

I really want the supposed source of the FBI's information. It smells like the Steele dossier or the FISA warrant information.
