A 2021 survey by the Public Religion Research Institute found that 23% of Republicans believe that “the government, media and financial worlds in the U.S. are controlled by a group of Satan-worshipping pedophiles.”

I’m torn between thinking “Well, Marx didn’t think of that” and “it’s predictable that during the death throes of hypercapitalism the proletariat may get a bit fuzzy-headed.”

Similar. I’d guess it was something like ctrl-z; ps -e vi; kill -9 procnum on a vt100 terminal.

That horse has a tan cot.

Orions are demonstrably mammals, but unfortunately fictional.

My solution is good $100 custom inserts and Red Wings. Cleared up plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, and a number of leg/back problems. I think the inserts were more important than the Red Wings, but they are a quality boot.

I’ve agreed with the premise of Sandy Hook Promise since before the Sandy Hook Massacre, yet they’ve been pounding me with ads for years.
