Pakistan bans Valentine's Day and orders media blackout on any reference to it after a court ruled it anti-Islamic

Wow! -Senator Mark Warner got caught having extensive contact with a lobbyist for a Russian oligarch. Warner did not want a “paper trail” on a “private” meeting (in London) he requested with Steele of fraudulent Dossier fame. All tied into Crooked Hillary.

Interesting article on the sacking of Baghdad by the Mongols and the effect it had on Islam.

Sadly, it's probably not an uncommon mistake.

Reminds me of the Atlanta Olympics. A man from Albuquerque called the ticket office was told he'd need to consult his embassy for tickets since foreign tickets were handled through the embassy. He tried to explain that New Mexico is a state and has been since 1912. No dice. He was eventually able to get tickets. While in Atlanta, he hung a sign on his hotel room door labelling it the "New Mexican Consulate."

When my cousin's college roommate applied to USC, she was referred to the foreign students office as an applicant from another country. She was from Hawaii.

GOG

Just after my mom and dad split we moved in with her sister, my cousin and I were about four, and after extensive testing we discovered as long as a cat is at least 8 inches above the ground it will land on its feet.

Less than that it will not

I have no idea why that cat never attacked us

> Interesting article

Yes, and gratitude-inducing.

As a sex god too virile for even my own contemplation, I spent a shower and a commute to work last night thinking about all the ways poverty and warfare have been diminished in the past... Not just since the years of your birth and my own, but even just since we got our degrees. For either that half-interval or the whole enchilada— Had some genuine soothsayer told us how much better life was going to get and for how many billions, you and I wouldn't have believed it. There would have been no science fiction story for the explosion of wealth, comity and decency that actually happened for which our parents or grandparents would have spent 5¢. The truth has been incalculably better for our species than the richest imaginations could have dreamt.

And this morning I'm reminded how great it is to be annoyed by showbiz figure X rather than the Mongol hordes. And we don't even have to BE in the Mongol hordes!


We need more Iraq historians. In 2001(?), just as the web was blossoming, a folklorist published a blog or internet column of some kind discussing an ancient Middle Easten myth of a warrior who buries his sword/saber/etc in some moment of emotional turpitude... Only to have it waiting there, years later, when he needed to dig it out the sand and defend himself. This was convincingly offered as the reason for Saddam's buried jet fighters.

But if you read the (surviving) links, the modern mind can only see modern motives... As if they could explain a monster of that magnitude.

I'll never forgive myself for losing that article.



This turned up this morning, too. I hope it was enough to live happily and safely.

So in a present test you set up where you already knew the answer, you "found" the answer faster than in the real senario you compared it to where you didn't know the answer?

That's amazing

No, cheating, that's called cheating.

You know Sixclaws, sci-fi stories and futurists predicted the reason there was no signs of intelligent life in the cosmos was all society's reach a point where they self destruct due to nuclear war.

Turns out it is SJWs who will destroy any society that approaches the level needed to loosen the bonds of gravity

Crid regarding the monstrous nature of Saddam, if I'm doing my math right Jackson killed more Indians than Saddam killed Kurds.

OK, so the mainstream media haven't touched this yet. Maybe I should be skeptical. But if it's true...I can only hope Scott Lloyd gets fired ASAP.

And this procedure would be done against the woman's will, of course.

From the Guardian:

"An anti-abortion activist who was appointed by Donald Trump to head a federal agency that detains undocumented immigrant children considered using a highly contentious and untested technique to stop a teenager from completing an abortion that was already in process, it has emerged.

"Scott Lloyd, the Trump administration’s pick as director of the Office of Refugee Resettlement, raised the prospect last March of administering the hormone progesterone to a 17-year-old girl from El Salvador who had entered the US illegally and was being held in custody in San Antonio, Texas. The procedure is unrecognized by the medical profession as a means of reversing abortion and has side-effects attached to it..."

Sorry I didn't see this earlier!

From Snoopy's link about Newsweek:

"“[The raid] led to the BuzzFeed article about the fake clicks, which you orchestrated,” breaking news editor Gersh Kuntzman said. “So you should be honest with everybody in this room: Are we running a money laundering operation? Are we evading taxes? You need to tell us that because we can’t work here if you’re a liar.”"

The "breaking news editor" is the idiot who professed to be traumatized by firing an AR-15, thus loudly signalling that objective reporting is not the goal of Newsweek at all, and that they are not to be taken seriously.
