I would love to believe this. Yesterday was a very big day, but this kind of number needs to be supported with sources. Even the much lower, but still excellent numbers given elsewhere, need support. It's a matter of credibility.

They have sunk lower than I would have thought possible. They are an embarrassment to journalists, to NYC, and the rest of the nation. I read them every day for decades. Not any longer. Not even to do a puzzle.

In keeping with this, I will be talking directly after @clarelmoore.bsky.social about Galadriel who almost always had the final word, especially at home. Celeborn: Had I known that the Dwarves-- G: He would be rash indeed that said that thing.

From what I have seen if them in use, necropsy is more common for animals, autopsy for humans. But they seem to have always overlapped. Both coined in the 1st half of the 19th c.

If all the states get from the federal govt are threats, demands, and faceless terrorist thugs, all the states, or at least the blues ones, should simply declare that they will no longer pay taxes to the federal govt. Preempt the feds. Take it to them.

As you may know, Oliver Cromwell has not been well liked in Ireland for about 4 centuries now. Years ago I was dating a girl and discovered she was his descendant. I felt I had betrayed all my Irish ancestors. Even my mother gave me a dirty look. 4 centuries
