And I'm enjoying myself, taunting idiots who spout disinformation, like "Kemet [bastardization of Kumat, a name for ancient Egypt] means Land of the Blacks."
Supposedly, this proves that ancient Egyptians were black. Kumat actually means "black land," and refers to the black soil of the Nile flood plains. This is to distinguish it from the "deshret" (red land) that they used to describe the desert.

Wait till they find out that Cleopatra was Greek. In fact, the land of Egypt has had multiple incursions from the Greeks throughout history. The Greeks were pretty good sailors, and the Med is a relatively forgiving ocean and for the most of the time BCE, Egypt was wealthy and a tempting target.

Here's another one regarding the fucking Norks and their sycophants in the media:
Clueless is as clueless does. Maybe you should have, I dunno, checked out the terms of your contract?
Parents at a Miami Catholic school are demanding answers after a beloved teacher was fired just days after marrying her partner.
First-grade teacher Jocelyn Morffi lost her job at Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic School on Thursday, the day after she returned from her wedding in the Florida Keys.
“This weekend I married the love of my life and unfortunately I was terminated from my job as a result,” Morffi said in a post on social media. “In their eyes I’m not the right kind of Catholic for my choice in partner.”
Why do you think you are special, Jef? What makes you better than poor people? Why wouldn’t cooking be absolutely cheaper for them too? Why do you think they are so inferior that they can only live in the now, and not make good financial decisions which will benefit them long term?
By the way, those are rhetorical questions, you smug putz.
IT WILL CERTAINLY BE INTERESTING TO SEE AMY'S TAKE ON THAT STORY, Ira.
Because... For years she argued that gay marriage was the essential component of civilization's forward march.
Then, two or three weeks later, she announced that people shouldn't be compelled to bake cakes or shoot photographs for gay couples (professionally) if they weren't into it.
SO I PRESUME SHE'D AFFIRM THAT CHURCHES SHOULDN'T BE COMPELLED TO HIRE GAY TEACHERS FOR THEIR KIDS, EITHER.
Well, we'll have to wait and see what she says. The flow of her reasoning is no longer apparent to me.

Say wut? BUFF for the win!
The Air Force confirmed that it plans to send its two newer bombers into early retirement, but keep the B-52 in the inventory well past its 100th birthday.
A porn ban, then, is a prohibition that might not work on its own terms, and would in any case leave us with a world in which porn is darker and more dangerous for everyone involved. The real barrier to banning pornography, the objection that matters, is not cultural defeatism or lack of public will. It is that attempting to ban porn would at best be a foolish, expensive, and futile project, and at worst a path to a new and radically expanded police state devoted to punishing people for engaging in acts of consensual self-expression. A federal war on porn would be just as winnable as the federal wars on drugs and alcohol—in other words, not winnable at all.
Egypt had 100 years of black Pharaohs and somehow that isn't enough.
It's funny but sad.

Love the BUFFs, but I wish they'd do something about those J57s. They'd really look sharp with a four-pack of nice shiny new CFM LEAP engines. And they'd gain mission range and cut maintenance costs. I don't know why the Air Force continues to resist re-engining them.

If you want to see where an effective ban on porn leads IRA then you need to look at Soviet era porn. When you have a police state you can ban most everything. And then you are left with extreme S&M or yarnies. Only the really weird and dangerous stuff is left.

But what is an extremist ideology? It’s easy to see on one end of the spectrum, once violence happens. But the FBI sees the progression as “crossing the line from First Amendment protected rights to committing crimes to further their political agenda.”
It sounds like they are saying speaking out is a precursor to terrorism. Exercising rights is suspicious.
Long before any B-52 approaches that duration of service, one of them will be taken down by an enormous murmuration of tiny, inexpensive, consumer-grade drones operated by the enemy.
Um, Darth, I heard a radio host point out today something that I'm sure has been pointed out by many others as well. Namely, you don't see teachers in such schools fired for getting divorced or for having HETEROSEXUAL sex outside of marriage. Even though those things are very much against Catholicism.
It's all about gay people.

All employees, including school teachers, are considered church representatives and are expected to abide by Catholic teachings, the memo said. Any conduct “inconsistent” with that could result in disciplinary action, including termination. ~ from Crid's link
So, all the teachers who are having extra-marital sex will be fired? As will the teachers who are eating meat on Fridays during Lent, the teachers who take birth control pills or use condoms, and the teachers who have had an abortion?

Not quite. You know those hand knit yarn hats or scarves. Take that concept but do a full body suit. Some didn't include holes and were fully anatomically correct. I don't really get how that worked.
I've known a number of furries. The art work can be quite silly but most of them are quite tame in person.
As for the S&M stuff the Russians are still into some of that for some reason. Every few years someone nails their genitalia to the porch of that cathedral in Moscow. It is a protest thing. Around here people just douse themselves in gasoline and light up at the court house. Not sure that is better. I'm just more used to it.
