Mountside test: Don't eyeball me, Boy....

A victory for sane rhetoric in climate rhetoric.

An homage to Michael Avenatti.

What you may not have known was that Avenatti co-owned and raced for GB Autosport, and even raced at Le Mans in 2015. A new grand jury indictment alleges that his motorsport activity was paid for with extremely ill gotten gains.

Oh.

Okay, was totally distra distracted when typing booth of those.

Lumber for repairs.

Never having been there, or to much of any church in the last 50 years, I was most concerned about the loss of this.

So, relief now.

Luckily there is no singing in the current Mis

Look, things get rebuilt all the time. I read an essay about this last night somewhere. Like this—

Visitor: So this is the real thing, huh?

Local: Yep. Been here for XX centuries.

Visitor: I'd heard it was rebuilt once.

Local: Three times, actually.

Visitor: But you said this is ORIGINAL...?

Local: Yep.

And now, timber for the cathedrals in Hell.

ACLU joins lawsuit against school for suspending target-shooting students.

Target shooting at a target range off-campus on the weekend demonstrates dangerously high levels of self-reliance and responsibility, and if it doesn't, it could, and if it might be, then it is, so shut up because I said so.

Also Helen Lovejoy started it.

Socialized medicine is great, until they decide you're too much of a burden. Then you die. If you're very, very lucky, it'll be quick. Unlike this guy.

The devastated sister of a man with Down's Syndrome who died in hospital after not being fed for 19 days has spoken of her heartbreak.

More on Notre Dame.

But because it survived largely intact into the digital era, Notre Dame lives on in the virtual world, too—and that may make its restoration all the more complete. For the last half-decade or so, an architectural historian named Andrew Tallon worked with laser scanners to capture the entirety of the cathedral’s interior and exterior in meticulous 3D point clouds. His billion points of light revealed a living structure; the magnificent flying buttresses had indeed held the walls true, but the Gallery of Kings, statues on the western facade, were a foot out of plumb, Tallon told National Geographic in 2015.

Additionally, I'd heard that the statues on the spire that collapsed had been recently removed to facilitate the renovation.

I have a friend who used to sell stock footage. He frequently had conversations like that Crid.

A. I want some civil war scenes.
B. We have a couple of nice reenactments you can look over.
A. No, I need live footage from the civil war. Reenactments aren't good enough. If you can't provide I'll take my business elsewhere.
B. ... Ok, bye.

More Notre Dame, more Notre Dame.

What are you complaining' about, Darth? "Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust since apologised and promised it would not happen again." See, everything's fine now.

Our niece had a baby with Trisomy 18 (Down’s syndrome is Trisomy 21.) Doctors recommended that they leave her at the hospital and not feed her. This is in the United States with private insurance. They said that they fought a lot of pressure to find treatment and doctors that were willing to care for her.

Sick

Good news.
