Its my actual hair, but two inches longer and thicker. Even with wigs, I seem destined for one cut.

Wore a wig to a building party.

Three different people told me my hair looked good.

Fun thing to think about very briefly: who currently has better lawyers, the United States or Nintendo

I wonder where Trump thinks he is, and who he thinks these people are.

Cover of a book: "An Operational Necessity."

Cover of a book: "An Operational Necessity."

Who else remembers or has heard of prize-winning late 1960s novel 'An Operational Necessity,' by Gwyn Grffin?

It's about law-of-war consequences for WWII German U-boat crew that kills, rather than rescuing, crew members of a French boat it has torpedoed and sunk.

Worth reading again at the moment.

This stupid fucking meme has got body shape exactly backwards. Half the fuckin population had just spent the better part of a decade being extra malnourished in the 40s while today even pogs get addicted to lifting and creatine

U remember concerning in the 80s-90s about Centcom.

Much of it figured that if something happened all of Tampa was a goner anyway. Not terribly precision missiles at the time.

Maybe...maybe we were too quick to tell Naked Alf to go away? Maybe Naked Alf was secretly the 36th righteous one who would greet the Shekhinah in this generation?

Democrats may not be able to prevent Mullin's confirmation, but they can certainly turn his track record of offense and stupidity into two days of televised humiliation so spectacular that he is wounded in Trump's eyes from day 1. That is the job.

The entire Harry Potter fandom might differ with this.

Not to make light of something that's serious and important, but for the record here's another "Alexandria is Parks & Rec" entry:

among other things, it's very very funny to imagine Trump having granular knowledge and strong opinions about various obscure Iranian regime figures possibly in the running.

Once a THING happens, there is an instant scapegoat for every problem of the last 20 years.

And to be fair, many of them were directly tied.

But the rat/"I don't know her"/ ship effects.....

At this point our best case scenario is that A THING happens, and everyone uses it as an excuse to save face, and stop bombing the fuck out of people.

Or given who the replacement is, at least give a coherent goal for this whole thing.

That said, racism is a hell of a drug. Add in violence and degradation?

Given a GOP Senator from OK could probably stay in office until his 80s..... would even he be willing to jump for a position that would last 3 years at best and have a huge likelihood of a lifetime of prosecution?
