Mortadella Philistine

My name is Mortadella Philistine

There's a million meats I haven't seen

Just you wait, just you wait...

Can't wait until my King Arthur AI-Generated Flour turns out to be a 5 pound bag of uncut cocaine.

One thing that would go a long way in helping with that would be if we improved the quality of urban schools / parks to the point where fewer people felt like they had to move to the suburbs to start families.

My headcanon is that in public / guest quarters the toilet stalls contain miniature holodeck emitters so that they can instantly change to accommodate the customs / biology of any species. Even assuming that, say, Klingons excrete waste from the same places that humans do, they might prefer to do so while dangling from a bar in the ceiling or something else torturous like that, and find the use of a regular sitting toilet unclean or dishonorable.

The pushy evangelical church down the street has the Bajoran flag

Aren't those supposed to be surprisingly tasty + a potential new industry if we can get restaurants to start serving them?

Yeah, Bribercutter has really gone downhill since the NYT acquisition

That moment in Hades when after innumerable long-ass treks through the underworld you think you've finally beaten Hades and then it turns out now you have to beat super-Hades...

"Hammerskins" sounds like a bunch of guys who hang around smashing each other's genitals with hammers

It's like in Good Will Hunting when Matt Damon tells Robin Williams he thinks he's one step from cutting his ear off and Williams responds by asking if he should move to the south of France and change his name to Vincent, because obviously most moviegoers are too dumb to get the original joke.

Wasn't that the hospital?

Uh, you ever see the movie Misery?

Actually, no.

Then this'll all be new to you.

I don't work for anybody, and I don't know what list of talking points you think I'm repeating other than the specific assertion that Germany shouldn't have shut down its nuclear plants.

I could just as well accuse you of astroturfing for the coal power lobby.

But since you're accusing me of being a shill anyway: yes, nuclear power is clean and safe and our refusal to embrace it has cost us decades of progress in reducing carbon emissions + is continuing to do so now. The anti-nuclear lobby has a tremendous amount of blood on its hands and I'm not the least bit ashamed to be on the opposing side to them.
