I am sure the globalization boosters will shout “racism” from the rafters, but it’s absolutely fucking insane to allow a foreign power to have control of any part of the US food supply. This just should not be something allowed to happen, and any country that does so is in for a hard road ahead.

It’s fundamentally an odd idea if you think about it the belief we have (sub rosa but ever-present) that all scientists should be part-time mathematicians. Usually bad mathematicians, but that is the sorting mechanism we’ve chosen for whatever reason. I guess because what uses quantities is quantifiable.

I haven’t even watched all of Game of Thrones, but LOL at all of you who thought Dany was going to be some sort of Manic Pixie Dream Queen. Everything was pointing to that not being the case.

Did you forget which show you were watching? Come on.
