Once we start getting into the question of whether the writers of the Gospels were outright lying about who was responsible for Jesus' execution, we might as well start asking whether they also intentionally lied about his claims of Messiahhood or, heck, whether such a person as Jesus as...

Are there Jewish people who are Christians? Yes, just like there are white (and black, and Asian) people who convert to Judaism.

Acting as though there's any difference between "the law" and "whoever happens to be in charge right now" is counterproductive. This isn't the Deep Magic of Narnia; it relies on humans choosing to abide by it or it all falls apart. And, as I've said before, barring the discovery of and...

That Noah's Ark citation was borderline Chewbacca Defense levels of nonsensical.

On a long enough timeline, nowhere is anyone's original homeland. And prior to the founding of the modern state of Israel, the last time it had truly belonged to them was over 2000 years ago. Saying that's a good enough reason to say that they rightfully own it and that, therefore, it should be...

If these same five people had been kidnapped by a common criminal within the US borders, nobody would dream of spending six billion on their ransom. Probably not even six million. So why is that perfectly fine when an enemy state does it?

At what point do his actions qualify as a hate crime and allow the feds to step in and throw him in prison? Because I feel like we should have already passed it.

Well... have you ever met one? I'm sure Romani-Americans exist, somewhere (if nothing else, it's probably where the carnival fortune-teller archetype came from), but it's definitely not a major demographic or one with a significant presence in the entertainment industry. Even in the realms of...

Man, this has been in development a long time. I remember seeing development footage back in like, 2018 or so? Must be a pretty small team.

Sounds right. I still can't wrap my head around how shaders can be used to warp actual mesh geometry, but that's how Left 4 Dead 2 made its trees bend in the wind during the Hard Rain campaign.

I guess the real problem is that, in the face of this much threatened violence and upheaval, we suddenly need all our leaders to be willing to literally take a bullet for their country. And I don't think any nation has ever been so privileged as to have such stoic, selfless people in charge...

Evil cannot comprehend good. Unfortunately it seems like it works the other way around a lot of the time too.

I've got a better idea. How about we lock Trump up for life and convince his followers to turn themselves in and ask for the same sentence. You know, in the interest of solidarity or something.

It just now dawned on me that he owns that site yet still wasn't able to score the handle "@DonaldTrump".

I love democracy.

Sadly, Sesame Street also has nowhere near the cultural cachet that they used to—which I consider just more proof we're living in a dystopia.

Well that was quick. But I hope that's not the end of the story. It's a federal crime to knowingly give people seizures, and there's no way Elon didn't know there are people with photosensitive epilepsy... well, existing in San Francisco and liable to at least be in the neighborhood sometimes...

Only since then?

Well, not quite. They did apply the Meta branding to the (formerly Oculus) VR headsets, and it could be argued that since Zuck's "metaverse" pipe dream is what spurred the rename in the first place, he's come to see that as "the product itself" and everything else as just sources of money to...

We're all the way back to Python quotes now, are we? The old internet really is healing,
