Of course, my condolences to the families, as cancer is a piece of shit.

But um.

This is the Third House Democrat to kick it. When I said I'd like to get rid of the gerantocracy.... I didn't mean it like this ^^;

They were later fortified in the 16th Century; and while by that point they became symbols of papal power it should be noted that Popes were no better than kings back then and the modern Pope is a lot less of a monarch

Said wall was initially a protective installation against invasion and pirate raids by Pope Leo IV. The Leonian walls no longer serve this purpose but as a UNESCO World Heritage site, nothing can be done to take them down.

Hamilton Musical — If you stand for nothing Burr, what will you fall for?

Gavin Newsom HAS NEVER been a friend of the proletariat. He's the Democratic Ronald Reagan, and like Nancy Pelosi, I hope someone primarily's his ass so thoroughly that his only career choice left is a shifty ass podcast.

I love that, when he began his presidential stint, he was like "Oh I'll be the anti-Trump but instead he realized it's easier to guzzle dick than grow a backbone so he's going to spread his cheeks like DeSantis to, as Mr. Hogg put it, be a Do-Nothing Democrat.

In the words of Lin Manuel Miranda's —

California built the film industry — and we’re ready to bring even more jobs home.

We’ve proven what strong state incentives can do. Now it’s time for a real federal partnership to Make America Film Again.

POTUS, let’s get it done.

All this to say that since federally bureaucratic establishment says that rock in the Pacific Northwest is now Mt. McKinley, encyclopedias are going to call it that — because they are not beholden to the whims of a man, but rather an intellectual system.

I'm still calling it Denali though.

The indigenous piece of shit inside me would convulse 18 ways to Sunday if I ever let myself admit that, so Jerusalem is still in Palestine because I PERSONALLY, ZEPHYR, do not recognize Israel as a legitimate state. But it's there, and it has 70 years of history to justify its existence.

This is one of those moments were I get what they're doing but don't like it all the same.

The Gulf of Mexico's name is now disputed, same as Israel/Palestine and since Israel is (for better or worse) an internationally recognized body, then the consensus is that Jerusalem is in Israel.

When that change is made official by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names, we will also make that change.

Just as we did in 2015 when President Barack Obama changed the name of 'McKinley' to ‘Denali.’

Every horrible thing I've learned about Mike Pollock was completely against my fucking will.

I guess it's less that I demand it be flown and more like I think we should both be free to exist how we wish. If for you that means quietly, and for me that means out loud then that's alright.

So long as we both are treated with respect. We should both be treated with respect as we are.

Genuine question, I want to understand you guys, what IS the move?

From my perspective, the choice was between an imperfect candidate who could be convinced to be better or an absolute sociopath. What were we to do with this information.
