A priest a minister and a rabbit walk in to a bar.
*I’ll have a beer” said the priest.
”Me too” said the minister.
The bartender turns to the rabbit, ”and you?”
”Oh, don’t mind me” said the rabbit. ”I’m just a typo.”

Would you agree with me that preventing a person from voting (having, say, an "intelligence" or "industriousness" test) is different in kind than having voting requirements that impose some burden, but do not prevent, voting? An example of a hypothetical burden -- you have to register to vote. See ...

No, it's not needed. Election fraud due to in-person voter impersonation is incredibly rare. There is no problem to solve. So photo ID just ends up disenfranchising minorities and the poor. Politicians deliberately use this fake issue to get an edge in elections. What baffles me is that so many ...

Temperatures are rising again and will reach the forties in Spain and France this week, which will make it harder to control the wildfires. The worst fires in France are centered around the city of Bordeaux, which could lead to a sharp uptick in the price for Bordeaux wines. It will take several ...

The Doctor and I had many debates where we went at it swinging, but it was all fun and games. Sort of a raunchy catch-as-catch-can debate club. It was a lot of fun, we both enjoyed it. I started posting at Central a year or two before the Sedins were drafted, and then posted a lot about their ...

Looks like this el niño is going to be a whopper! :? https://www.gannett-cdn.com/authoring/authoring-images/2026/07/24/USAT/91033172007-climate-central-ocean-temperatures-through-20260722.png?width=2560 Sadly, I couldn’t find a linkable chart with real temperatures, so you’ll have to make do with thi ...

YAYY!!! Nils Aman is added to "Past Players" list!!! now, hopefully Bains gets here as well! He has signed for Djurgården in the SHL, unfortunately. I would rather have seen him in Björklöven. They just lost Viggo Björk, so they were desperate for a last minute replacement, so I guess they outbid us ...

We have been warming since the last ice age. Evidence, ice is melting. Well, sort of. I think we peaked during the bronze age, when we had turtles and grapes in Scandinavia, and then it started getting colder again. You could still grow wheat on Greenland during the viking age, but by the 14th ...

Huge wildfires in France, Spain and Italy. In southern France more than 140,000 people have been evacuated from their homes. Sweden is sending four fire fighting aircraft to help get the fires under control. Forest fires in Europe have increased by 57% over the last four years. In 2022 1.4 million ...

Meanwhile Erling Haaland's image is on every Wella product!

Doesn't the ocean serve as a thermal battery of sorts? Regulating extreme temperature swings more than areas without? Yes. And sea water temperatures have risen more than the air temperature that we measure. That's why the coral reefs are in such poor shape. So a lot of the global warming is going ...

If I’m reading that correctly it’s been remarkable consistent in its fluctuations with only one alarming peak in the past 4000 years…..and contrary to the global warming doomsayers we are actually on the lower end of the spectrum right now but I’m guessing on a 50-100 year climb. The many peaks and ...

Crazy game tonight. France didn’t show up for the first half. Looked like shit. Their goalkeeper seemed paralysed on the first two goals. Didn’t even try to save them. 4-0 England after the first half. The first time in world cup history that a team has scored more than 2 goals on France before hal ...
