I’ve been reading about eschatology lately and the Zionists have successfully killed the last of the 9 red heifers. Tomorrow during Rosh Hashanah they’re going to have 100 rabbi’s spread the ashes of the red heifers onto people.

It's worth remembering that when RFK and all these other boomer freaks were kids in their formative years, the dominant theory of autism was that "cold" mothers caused it and that you could cure it via lobotomy and forced sterilization.

Boring can be brilliant. In Pueblo, Colorado, they're planning to replace a coal plant with one of largest clean energy hubs in US. At its core: a thermal battery. These batteries can provide round-the-clock heat, slashing emissions, creating jobs, and improving public health.

The reasons they did *not* approve games are fascinating. They strongly disapproved Diablo II, not just for the violence, but because it depicted man being able to defeat Satan without the intervention of Christ (the only time this argument has ever been made in the history of game criticism)
