“cynically used to disadvantage American workers' competitiveness in favor of mass-importing the third world.” Seems to me Socialists aren’t the ones who have been exporting American jobs to “third world countries”… seems like more of a Republican, Billionaire Epstein class kind of thing. Perhaps we need to review who really needs to be denaturalized and deported.

No, you’re thinking of perdiem. A meridian is actually just a fancy linguistic term for a word that names a part of a whole. Like how a wheel is part of a car.
That belongs to Rock of Ages!
Number 9, it stains an otherwise perfect Beatles album.
I agree with you 100%. I do also feel that those files may be the Achilles heel as both sides of the aisle (that haven’t actually engaged in those activities, which I believe and hope are the vast majority) can agree on.
I hope you don’t mind, but I’m totally stealing this.
Omnisexuality??? Ok, I accept that as Gen X I’m old. I grew up stating I was Bi because that’s the term we had at the time. Now I still say Bi, but clarify “or really Pan as the kids call it nowadays because I believe all the toys in toy box are fun to play with and I value the person (and personality) over plumbing”. Now what is Omni?
TIL, thanks. But it doesn’t really change how screwed we are currently.


As a musician I had to pull up Alice Coltrane’s Universal Consciousness and in my opinion (which does not matter) it’s pure cacophony. Every member of the band is in a disharmonic key and the result is painful to listen to. What really hurts is that if you isolate each instrument mentally, they have some talent; but together it literally hurts to listen to… some forms of Jazz I just don’t get. But to each their own 👍
