Hieronymous Smash<p>Hi guys. Um, please don't ever make the "owner" email of your domain an address *on* that domain, because if it ever expires you won't be able to get emails to renew/fix it because it will be expired. </p><p>Yes. Look. It's obvious, but clearly it *happens* or I wouldn't be writing this and watching my work email all evening. (I didn't do it.

alice 🪞♥️ 🎩🐇<p>" ... the chaplain was ready now to capitulate to despair entirely but was restrained by the memory of his wife, whom he loved and missed so pathetically with such sensual and exalted ardor, and by the lifelong trust he had placed in the wisdom and justice of an immortal, omnipotent, omniscient, humane, universal, anthropomorphic, English-speaking, Anglo-Saxon, pro-American God, which had begun to waver.<br>So many things were testing his faith. There was the Bible, of course, but the Bible was a book, and so were Bleak House, Treasure Island, Ethan Frome and The Last of the Mohicans. Did it then seem probable, as he had once overheard Dunbar ask, that the answers to the riddles of creation would be supplied by people too ignorant to understand the mechanics of rainfall? Had Almighty God, in all His infinite wisdom, really been afraid that men six thousand years ago would succeed in building a tower to heaven? Where the devil was heaven? Was it up? Down? There was no up or down in a finite but expanding universe in which even the vast, burning, dazzling, majestic sun was in a state of progressive decay that would eventually destroy the earth too. There were no miracles; prayers went unanswered, and misfortune tramped with equal brutality on the virtuous and the corrupt; and the chaplain, who had conscience and character, would have yielded to reason and relinquished his belief in the God of his fathers—would truly have resigned both his calling and his commission and taken his chances as a private in the infantry or field artillery, ..."</p><p>-- <a href="https://beige.party/tags/JosephHeller" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JosephHeller</span></a>, Catch-22</p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/quote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>quote</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Catch22" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Catch22</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Englishspeaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Englishspeaking</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/AngloSaxon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AngloSaxon</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/proAmerican" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>proAmerican</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/God" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>God</span></a></p>

If you are camping to avoid the perceived dangers of shelters, what do you do when government officials send armed people to destroy + discard your last belongings, including ID?

The irony of Presidential Immunity is that what it empowers a President to do is revoke with extreme prejudice the immunity of any former President - while ensuring that he can't be effectively prosecuted for doing so, because Presidentially-ordered assassinations would be official acts, & no evidence of the President ordering them could be admitted.

This shit makes #Catch22 look straightforward & honest. We could be carbon neutral if we could hook up a generator to Joe Heller's grave.

DURING YESTERDAY'S #SCotUS HEARING as to whether the #Potus is #AboveTheLaw, Justice Jackson asked #DarthTraitor's lawyer that "If a president can't be prosecuted, what's to stop them from braking the law?"

Mr. Sauer said there were multiple other ways to respond, including "impeachment".

But one can only "impeach" a Potus for breaking the law ("High Crimes & Misdemeanors".) So if the president is above the law, how does one #impeach a president for breaking the law? #Catch22 @ThomHartmann

Trump's lawyer argues to the Supreme Court that one can simply impeach a president who commits a crime. But if the president is above the law, then anything the Potus does (as Nixon once said) "That means that it is not illegal."

What sort of absurdity by EE (Uk mobile phone provider):

The only way to enable roaming is to send a text from your phone number.

Sounds simple enough? Well, not when you are abroad and suddenly realise that roaming is turned off.

So I now need to send a text to turn on roaming, but I can’t send a text because roaming is off 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
