To clarify, the incest didn't SHOCK me. Kids out of windows did.

Game of Thrones.

The incest didn't bother me, but pushing a child out a window hit the wrong note with me and my wife.

Jesus, that's depressing, considering how long Franco was in power.

Rump might live off McDs but he also doesn't drink and gets regular movement (can you call golf exercise?) Its very possible he could plague us for another ten years.

 

Such posers!

Dirt therapy, which is mostly weeding at this point, and some Stardew Valley. It is not lost on me that these are both farm related. It would be cool if I could mix the two, although I'm not sure I would want to enslave Junimos IRL. However, it might be fun to explore a nearby cave or hang out with a local wizard.

With these comments it's difficult to tell whose cock he's gargling.

Well at least they are taking Trump's evisceration of our democracy, society, and economy seriously. /s

Weird...usually no one cares so long as the stock price goes up. Or he's fucking children...and even then these companies take a "wait and see" attitude.

How can a public trial be held in secret? I can understand that any agreement can also include NDAs but I wasn't aware that any US court could adjudicate in secret.

The word trivia comes from Latin. In Roman times people would place signs with interesting tidbits about their nearby town where roads meet as a way of luring travellers to their town. Tri means three and via is road. So trivia are useless and entertaing facts originally found at the confluence of three roads.

I recognize that you are asking about European place names but how humans named things in North America might give some insight. A really great book on how places got their names in the US is Names on the Land: a historical account of place-naming in the United States by George R. Stewart (ISBN 978-1-59017-273-5).
