I feel like I should, but I don't hate this. I feel like I could hang this in my house and make other people wonder why they don't hate this.

I thought it was "Al G." You know, Al Gore.

Answer: It depends on the amount and qualities of the uranium, as well as how it is stored.

I think this is more of a political meme than mildly interesting, but I will point out that virtually every politician who can become the leader of a developed country has pictures similar to this.

Pictures like this are always used as gotchas by their opponents. Oh look, they shook hands with a really bad person! Oh look, they are standing next to a silly looking person! Yes, part of their job is to shake hands with people, even bad people. And part of their job is to take pictures with people, even if they look silly.

The Trump-Epstein files contain a ton of random emails. Jon Stewart mentioned how he showed up in the Epstein files when they were talking about somebody to host a show one of them thought up. So, I'd be a little surprised if Elmo wasn't mentioned in them, as he was in a lot of memes for a while.

As far as I can tell, American politics can only be fixed by the supreme court. You need to flood it with justices who are willing to rule that campaign donations from corporations are not free speech. And then, to rule that the very concept of democracy is incompatible with campaign contributions from corporations and other organizations like PACs. And by that logic, contributions coming from anywhere except registered voter constituents is fundamentally unconstitutional.

Congress under the existing rules will never pass a campaign contribution law because the owners of our congresspeople don't want those laws passed. We will never elect enough people to congress who are not financially backed by large organizations. We're stuck as a country. And I think only SCOTUS has any possibility of fixing it.

But if SCOTUS did fix it, I think few in Congress would have a problem with it. They personally seek power, so this would actually give them more power. The problem is that if they seriously support campaign finance reform today, most of those would lose their next election and lose all of their power.

From what I can see watching British television and influencers, it seems like the entire British public, outside of elderly or rich people, are opposed to fox hunting.

Jesus was pretty specific about how a person should become his follower. He said that you have to give away all of your possessions to follow him.

Now their idea of making america great again is to try to restore it to how great it was when Biden was president.

I clicked through to the article, and it consistently says she's part of the "Leopard Party," so I assume that this article is satire? I mean, I understand the reference to "leopards ate my face", but mixing ironic criticism into an article that is supposed to be factual just makes it look like satire.

If the article is actually legitimate, then I question their choice of website, "Talk like a pro." I think a pro would know how to present information in a way that is not confusing to the reader.

That delusion is so common that I suspect it must have a name, but I don't know what it is.

But the better a solution appears, the more a person who sees the solution believes it to be obvious, and therefore also believes that, had they tried to solve the problem, they'd have come up with this "obvious" solution straight away with no effort.

Meanwhile, the person who actually solved the problem could only come up with the perfect simple solution after a lifetime of study in the area to the point that you'd call them an expert or master, and after agonizing for a long time over this particular problem.

I had previously tried to figure out how many episodes were in this season, and all it said was that it hadn't been announced. This episode made it obvious that there are more than 12 because it seems like an episode where they just shoved various plot-related leftovers, and it would be weird if they did that in episode 11 of 12. AniDB has release dates for episodes up to 16 for this season, but I don't know whether that means there are only 16 episodes.

It seemed like they really wanted to exposition dump in this episode, and they made a lot of strange changes from the source material, many of which don't make sense, and where doing them the right way would have been no harder. I'll mention a couple of things that are not, in any way, spoilers.

Like, we're supposed to believe that there was a huge locked cabinet in the book room, and Rozemyne wasn't interested in it until she found a key that she didn't know what it did? No, she obviously knew from the beginning that there were locked shelves, and that the High Bishop had the key. Well, technically, her attendants have the key. When she needs a key, she asks her attendants to bring it to her. I don't remember exactly when in the story she read them, but any delay before she got to the locked shelves was simply because she hadn't gotten to that part of the book room yet.

And we're supposed to believe that Ingo got in the High Bishop's face like that? I think in that same scene, Ingo said he paid for etiquette lessons just to be able to meet the High Bishop. Rozemyne had a guard knight in the room. There was some leeway given because they were in her hidden room, but Ingo now believes her to be a noble. After his lessons, he should at least know that if he physically approached her like that, he'd probably be executed on the spot. The lessons weren't an excuse for Benno to make money like they said in that scene. They were to keep Ingo from making mistakes that would lead to severe punishment or execution.

And although it looked less offensive than what Ingo did, Zack would never run up to Rozemyne after the meeting like that. Zack running up to her was far worse than what Ingo did. That wasn't in her hidden room. Zack is a commoner. He's not her attendant. He's not even an orphan. That was outside the temple where there is no leeway to treat Rozemyne as anything but a noble and the High Bishop. All commoners know that any mistakes dealing with the nobility will likely lead to their execution, and maybe the execution of their family. In this same episode, they made sure to tell Ingo that he could speak without as much fear because he was in her hidden room. And now a couple of scenes later, they have Zack do this outside the temple.

How was this animated like this? If the animators just read the script for this very episode, they shouldn't have made these mistakes. Why did they spend all of that time in the earlier seasons showing how much commoners cower before nobles?

Although I complain, I don't hate this season. Most of my irritation is limited to a few scenes per episode. If I had a trillion dollars, I'd pay to have the entire series re-animated, though.

It's not that strange. Writers are often up against tight deadlines and you just gotta do what you gotta do. Not every thing you produce is going to be your best work.
