If I were elected Pope, I'd choose the name Pope Primatus Superiorus I.

What a relief! You're justified in feeling wonderful.

Friday GS/ES report, see man: We attended one ES and the GS, attend we man. The ES yielded the take, see man: -- Tempur-Pedic pillow, short pants, Many (2+2) laser Pendaflex-tab sheets, warshcloth = $Many ($2x2x2 +2+1), OK and would've been cheaper if second day of ES man Total = $Many ($2x2x2 +2+1)

No one's messin' around when loyalty is considered. Sure is different from first term.

Eagle Firing AR-15 Emerges From Vatican Indicating An American Pope Has Been Selected VATICAN — In an aerial display that delighted millions, the Vatican conclave released a bald eagle firing an AR-15 into the air to signal that an American pope had been selected. Sources say the crowd roared as the majestic eagle soared across the sky and the sweet sounds of 5.56 ammunition cracked in the air. "Yee-haw! We got ourselves a new Pope!" said thousands of Americans, who were also shooting their AR-15s into the air. "USA! USA! USA!"

Rubio: You'd Better Believe We'll 'Review' Visa Status for Columbia's Pro-Hamas Rioters [...] Maybe next time, they'll stick to the quad, eh? This is what should have happened in every single riot and 'occupation' at Columbia. The NYPD do not have immediate jurisdiction in these matters; they had to wait for Columbia to request their intervention, which took months of riots and intimidation campaigns to finally happen. And it only happened in that instance because the rioters seized a building and took two janitors hostage, a case that is still playing out in courts. This time, Columbia got the police involved quickly after a couple of its campus police officers got injured in the riot. This was no doubt motivated in part to avoid any more sanctions from the Trump administration, which has already suspended much of the federal funds Columbia receives. The quick call to the NYPD this time allowed police to intervene appropriately, and to close the trap that the terrorist sympathizers created for themselves. Seventy-eight were arrested after they realized that they had no choice but to acquiesce.

Where's the Beef? It's in Trump's Unprecedented Trade Deal With Britain The first of the cascade of trade and tariff deals expected under the new Trump administration was announced in the Oval Office on Thursday. The "unprecedented" deal was the first time in decades that American producers will have freer and "streamlined customs" access to the U.K. markets. The announcement allows the sale of U.S. beef into the U.K. for the first time in decades and ensures an increase in the purchase of Boeing commercial jetliners. Flanked by Vice President J.D. Vance and on a conference call with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, President Donald Trump announced an agreement "worth billions of dollars" with the U.K. that reconfigures tariff prices on goods, expands the market for American farmers and ranchers, and added a phalanx of Boeing jetliners to that nation's commercial fleet. The Trump White House called it "a breakthrough" and "a good deal." [...] https://pjmedia.com/victoria-taft/2025/05/08/wheres-the-beef-its-in-trumps-trade-deal-with-britain-n4939594

This is a wonderful editorial. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There Goes Antarctica Our southernmost continent is, we've been told, the suffocating canary in the global coal mine. The more ice loss in Antarctica, the greater trouble we're in. So what do we make of a study which found that between 2021 and 2023, there was a record-breaking increase in the Antarctic Ice Sheet? We mark it down as another in a long line of misses from the global warming zealots. "Notably, four major glaciers in the Wilkes Land–Queen Mary Land region of East Antarctica reversed their previous pattern of accelerated mass loss from 2011 to 2020 and instead showed significant mass gain during the 2021 to 2023 period," says an article in SciTechDaily summarizing the report from Tongji University researchers. How could such an unanticipated event happen? [...] https://issuesinsights.com/2025/05/06/there-goes-antarctica/

Serious question, see man: We have a bunch of bookcases that should be cabinets, sigh man. Some of these bookcases are side-by-side, need access to either side at various times man. Aside from constructing doors for them, what options are there to mask the contents, huh man? Only idea we have is thick plastic sheeting to tape from the top, loose on the bottom, perhaps man. This would keep out dust and avoid assaults on the eye, keep contents from Many00% visibility man. The need would be to screen the bookcases' contents decently, but not opaquely, see what's there man. However, plastic sheeting is not very tasteful, conclude we man. We imagine that a paint store might have various choices of sheeting, si man. Or, if correctly sized, some kind of mosquito screen, perhaps man. Ex-Mrs.-T-B. has her garage door screened with the latter, held in center by magnets and looks very neat man. We are also concerned that miu might chew on plastic, dentally energetic miu man. Ideas and ordering-sources please, gracias man.

We forgot to mention that we entered an online ES auction with less than 2 hours to go, enter we man.

If we did win it, it was for $Many ($2+2+1) + Many% buyer's fee, deal or steal man. We aren't sure where in the casa this will go, but storage is always desirable man. Miu will certainly want to sit on it, this is what mius do man. More details after pickup on Saturday, detail later we man.

Such a bummer. Shows how intricate immigration issues can be and how unaware the non-VJ populace is. There's so much focus on illegal immigration that crucial aspects of legal immigration are completely overlooked.

The magic words in such instances are, "I'd like for us to include a supervisor in this discussion now, please."

Finished clearing office floor and vacuumed it completely, man. Big pile of filing remains, but we can deal with that man. We found a rolling Many-drawer ([2+2]-drawer) file in the garage* to bring upstairs, help with future clutter man. *bought at a GS a couple of years ago, financially savvy we man Now to start on downstairs, motivated we man. No party with the rubias tonight, no cavort we man. Friday morn, we should do our blood draw for next week's diabetes verdict, sweat we man. We have itineraried 2 ESs and a GS for Friday, itinerary we man. The GS is part of a square-mile community GS, most probably on Saturday however man.

It's still Wednesday somewhere, so here is our Semiofficial Semiweekly VAWA-Thread Joke: =========================================== THE BLONDE AND THE THERMOS A blonde went into a store and saw a shiny object on the shelf. She asked the clerk, "What is that shiny object?" The clerk replied, "That is a thermos." The blonde then asked, "What does it do?" The clerk responded, "It keeps hot things hot and it keeps cold things cold." The blonde said, "Oh! I could use something like that! I'll take it!" The next day, as she walked into work with her new thermos, she saw her boss and showed off her shiny new thermos. "I just got this yesterday. Isn't it wonderful? It's a thermos, and it keeps hot things hot and cold things cold!" The boss asked, "So what do you have in it?" The blonde replied, "Some coffee and a popsicle."

Here Are The Stories Behind 10 Ancient Civilizations That Seemingly Vanished From The Face Of The Earth One of history's biggest questions is: "How does an entire civilization disappear?" One can comprehend how an object or even a city is lost, buried, or destroyed, but an entire group or nation of people is nearly unfathomable. And if archaeology hadn't emerged in the 18th century, many of these civilizations would have become permanently lost to time... Even though archaeological and scientific tools have discovered much about these ancient civilizations, including facts about their daily lives, religions, and habits, many "disappearances" remain unsolved. From the Mayans to the Mississippians — here are 10 ancient societies that seemingly vanished from the face of the earth: [...] https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/stories-behind-10-ancient-civilizations-010104555.html

Rather obvious, but a good reminder. ~~~~~~~~~~ Study Reveals a Simple Technique to Communicate With Your Cat Cats have a reputation for aloofness (and flooffiness), but if you and your feline friend aren't bonding, maybe you're just not speaking their language. Never fear – research from 2020 has shown that it's not so difficult. You just need to smile at them more. Not the human way, by baring your teeth, but the cat way, by narrowing your eyes and blinking slowly. By observing cat-human interactions, scientists confirmed that this expression makes cats – both familiar and strange – approach and be more receptive to humans.

Sounds like you guys need to revert to quill pen and carrier pigeon.

This advice is more for removing conditions, but: Shop for a lawyer who can draft wills, medical & financial powers of attorney, and similar estate documents. These make superlative evidence for ROC, and they're even more crucial to have in "life." Remember that if you move from one U.S. state to another, your will may need to be redone.
