One Of My Very Own...
O Sole Mio
This is the place.
"Chechnyan officials have opened the first concentration camp designed to hold homosexuals since the Nazi camps were shut down during the second World War."
"Campaigners against the human rights violation have said that prisoners are being subjected to electric shock torture, and repeated beatings designed to make them reveal other members of the LGBT community in the area; these beatings are sometimes fatal. Last week, members of the local community in Chechnya claim that over 100 LGBT people were detained, and 3 killed, many of which are believed to be held in these facilities."
"The order to create these camps has allegedly come down from President Razman Kadyrov (in the first picture, he is the super-villain-looking mother fucker on the right). The situation for LGBT persons in Chechnya is critical, as many can be killed not only by neighbors, but even friends and family for "staining the family honor", but I've seen little-to-no outcry on news outlets in the US. Thus...this is here to spread as much awareness as possible."

Remember when I told you it doesn't matter what you call people with...."conditions" because rather soon that new word would be turned into the same type insult? Well, in some circles the term "special" has moved into disfavor because it is used as an insult.

Childhood without the Internet

My bartender's father sent her a pic of a snake he found on his dock. It was so unusual that I looked it up on Google but could only find these two images that were even close.
Finally I had her email me the photo.
Have any of you people ever seen a snake shaped like that?

Singular they, or the use of the pronoun they to refer to one person, has been around for centuries. Both Chaucer and Shakespeare used it. It’s in the King James Bible. But since the early days of English grammar textbooks in the 19th century, it has been considered a mistake. For over 100 years, students have been urged to re-write sentences like “Everyone has their own ideas” with a singular pronoun: “Everyone has his own ideas.”

THE EATERS AND THE EATEN
Friends?
Not likely.
Snack before dinner.

They wait for their names to be called.
My father knew a guy who raised hunting dogs. They would sit and wait for their name before eating from a large communal eating bowl, then stop eating when their name is called again.
After he had died while taking a roast out of the oven, he wasn't found for almost a week. His dogs were just sitting around waiting to eat and never took a bite from the roast or the man.

SOLVING PROBLEMS
Yesterday I waited 27 minutes for a train in my city...the capital of my state.
The train blocked almost every main artery downtown. It had three locomotives - One in the front, one at the end and one in the middle.
Compounding the delay, it stopped for five of those 27 minutes.
I just wonder what EMT and fire vehicles do, or if I only had five minutes before happy hour ended.

I do not think that is a silly idea. I feel confident that would have been my choice in the last election.

"When a ship called the General Grant wrecked near New Zealand in 1866, killing nearly 70 people, including children. There were just 15 survivors, and five of them died on the desert island where they'd found shelter before rescuers arrived 17 months later.
In an attempt to stop similar tragedies, toward the end of the 19th century the New Zealand government installed depots on islands that shipwreck survivors were likely to come across."

An aside About that Dutch prime minister being eaten: the British stuck Cromwells head on a spike after they killed me and let it stay there on display for quite a few years (10-15 I do believe)
