I guess Joplin or Branson would be the only other options, but I haven’t lived there in years.
KCMO does not want to be in another state, because it is far, far superior - and older than its Kansas counterpart, which oddly enough is named after it.
That’s right.
Kansas City, KS is named after Kansas City, MO
Oh yeah. My son used to stare into the middle distance while filling his diaper
His appearance on Adam Friedland was…rough
The thing about 2026 is that any time I’m about to click into a thread about a beloved public figure, I have to brace for a comment informing me they are a raging zionist or something.
To be clear, that’s not the case with Wallace Shawn. He’s been vocal about Palestine since 2014 and has not minced words.
So there is some good news for anyone else who suffers from this 2026 affliction.

Wow, that is the first time I’ve seen that word used in the non-slur sense.
The garbage disposal gives the marinade a nice tangy zing, I’ve found.
Okay but why did Yakety Sax pop into my head unbidden when I read that headline?
Don’t fuck with me, bitch. I’m the mightiest sorcerer of the land.
Karen the cryptkeeper demands to speak to the manager.
Nothing a little cockmilk won’t solve.
Horrifying, yes, but also fascinating from an anthropological perspective.
When Bone-saw doesn’t like the optics of being seen with you…
Here is my thing. How in the world is JD Vance not quietly building support for the 25th? Like that might be the only thing that could save them in the election.
But even if they still plan on cheating, Trump is literally nothing more than a liability at this point.
Okay yeah that’s what I was thinking - particularly the cell reference as variable. Thank you for a great explanation.
I literally worked in finance for a major company for a period of time…
My mother/teacher was a product of our public school system and I have no idea how good of a student she was, but it didn’t matter because she had this amazing Christ-inspired curriculum that did all the work for her.
I’m not sure how typical my experience was, but for my mom, she was more drawn to the philosophical idea of home schooling and controlling what your children learn than the actual learning work.
In my family, we had bible together in the morning, and then broke to our separate rooms to work on math, social studies, science, etc.
A few things to note:
It won’t surprise you to learn that neither me nor any of my siblings went to college.
When I got my first real job, I was very gently informed that the “diploma” I had presented, which my dad had printed out of an MS word template, was not a valid document. Subsequently I had to quickly get a GED - which was the first and only time I’ve ever had any kind of sense of my actual education level compared to any kind of standard.
I still don’t have a confident answer to what Algebra is. At one point not long ago, I was putting together a somewhat complex formula in Excel and I wondered to myself, is this algebra?
I still genuinely don’t know, in case anyone wants to elucidate.
Yeah, but Christianity pretty much invented antisemitism, and our Christianity as we have it was likely much more influenced by Greek speaking gentile communities in Rome and Asia Minor than by the early Jewish Christians.
I am not a scholar, but my current thinking is that the Jewish/Petrine Christianity started by Jesus’ disciples largely disappeared and is attributed to an early christian sect called the Ebionites. What we have today is largely Pauline and Roman by descent.
Judaism is not generally trying to convert the masses.
Christianity is inherently more dangerous because it is both exclusive and evangelical.
