Tommy Duncan বলেছেন...: The correct term is "snowperson".

I'm sure they have pronouns too.

For the record, gender transition is common and easy among snowpersons. Snow is very easy to manipulate and alter. On warm days their gender can become quite fluid.

"Diminished" suggests age/temperature discrimination.; ১২/১২/২২, ৬:০৬ PM
Lilly, a dog বলেছেন...: Angelo Badalamenti, the frequent composer for David Lynch, has died. His music was one of the the best things about "Twin Peaks."; ১২/১২/২২, ৬:১০ PM
BudBrown বলেছেন...: Looks like a snow duck.; ১২/১২/২২, ৬:১০ PM
Nonyabidness বলেছেন...: Sam Bankman-Fraud, who donated $76 million to the Democrats in the 2022 mid-term elections, has been arrested in the Bahamas.

This will stop him testifying in front of Maxine Waters - the United States' top finance and banking expert - who leads the Democrat-led House Financial Services Commit.... you know, I can't even stop laughing trying to write that sentence.

Point being, the people who are going to have $76 million in campaign donations clawed back in the repayment phase of this Democrat ponzi scheme don't want this guy talking.

I predict now that he did not kill himself.; ১২/১২/২২, ৬:২৭ PM
Carol বলেছেন...: Damn we're snowed in. No walking today and I do love walking in the cold. Very invigorating!; ১২/১২/২২, ৬:৩৯ PM
mezzrow বলেছেন...: I think SBF knows how the snowman feels. Too much heat.; ১২/১২/২২, ৬:৪৫ PM
Narr বলেছেন...: Snowbeing.

Sham Bankrupt-Fraud.

Wish I could claim credit.; ১২/১২/২২, ৬:৪৬ PM
Readering বলেছেন...: He's on record saying he donated equivalent amount to GoP dark money funds. If true, that could be fun preference/fraudulent transfer discovery.; ১২/১২/২২, ৬:৪৭ PM
n.n বলেছেন...: The correct term is "snowperson".

Snow-Person. Person of Color. White, but not Albino, American with an orange nose.; ১২/১২/২২, ৭:০৩ PM

Planned Snowmanhood. A snowman is aborted, cannibalized/recycled, then sequestered in a warm climate. Her Choice.; ১২/১২/২২, ৭:০৭ PM
Lurker21 বলেছেন...: The Diminished Snow Man

The snowman would cease and be as other snowmen,
But that he knows in melting not to melt.
The question that he frames in all but words
Is what to make of a diminished snowman.

One must have a mind of winter
To regard the frost and the boughs
Of the pine-trees crusted with snow;
And have been cold a long time.; ১২/১২/২২, ৭:০৮ PM
Gusty Winds বলেছেন...: The snowman is Dr. Anthony Fauci. In his alone time. Feeling small. Staring at a foreground that makes us all think about how big we are, where we are going, where we've been...what we'll do, what we have done...our connection to God and the Earth and mankind.

The snowman still melted under a frigid Wisconsin sun. A little bit of sunlight made it shrink quickly. All snowmen are built on a house of cards, no???; ১২/১২/২২, ৭:১৩ PM
madAsHell বলেছেন...: Paul Silas has passed.

He spent three years with the Sonics, and earned a championship ring.; ১২/১২/২২, ৮:০৫ PM
MadisonMan বলেছেন...: Not a very invigorating stretch of days with all these clouds.; ১২/১২/২২, ৮:১৪ PM
gilbar বলেছেন...: ever wonder, if the NYTs is just a huge pile of shit?
Fetterman on NY Times 'Most Stylish' List for 2022

Independent Journal Review pointed out that there is nothing fashionable about Fetterman's clothing choice, but speculated that The New York Times might have included him because they are scag fucks, that want to suck democrat cock; ১২/১২/২২, ৮:২১ PM

H বলেছেন...: I'd appreciate some informed comment about the decision to take the death penalty off the board for the Lockerbie Bomber. Does the decision have something to do with international differences of opinion about the death penalty? Or because the individual's role was too peripheral? Or some other part of the US criminal code?; ১২/১২/২২, ৮:২৩ PM

Lem Vibe Bandit বলেছেন...: "An Activist from the “last Generation" in Germany used a too strong Glue and had to be freed with a Jackhammer"

Lurker21 বলেছেন...: Another journalist died at the World Cup. But he was a local photographer and apparently overweight, not a prestigious, controversial, and shaven-headed American.

If there's a "Senior Will" where people going off to prison this year leave things behind for the people who will be going next year, I'm betting Sam Bankman-Fried will be giving all his shorts to John Fetterman and his hairstyle to Jamie Raskin.; ১২/১২/২২, ৯:২২ PM
Dr Weevil বলেছেন...: Lem:
Two other idiot activists in Germany recently glued themselves to an on-stage railing during a symphony concert. Unfortunately, it was a movable railing whose legs were not attached to the floor, but just inserted into sockets in the floor. A back-stage employee, tastefully dressed in black, came out, picked up the railing, and pulled the two of them with it firmly into a windowless room backstage, where (I think) he locked them in.; ১২/১২/২২, ৯:৩২ PM
Lem Vibe Bandit বলেছেন...: Headline: "White House Calls Musk’s Tweets About Fauci ‘Incredibly Dangerous’ And ‘Disgusting’"

The efforts to chill speech continues. Twitter files be dammed.; ১২/১২/২২, ১০:১৭ PM
NorthOfTheOneOhOne বলেছেন...: Awww, damn! Stuart Margolin died.

RIP Angel Martin!; ১২/১২/২২, ১০:২২ PM
paminwi বলেছেন...: So many people have said that Sam Bankman Fried gave dark money to the Republicans.
The man lied, and lied, and lied. Why are you so quick to believe him when he makes that statement? I still have not seen, from a legitimate source, exactly where this dark money went.
Might this statement be a bunch of garbage?; ১২/১২/২২, ১০:২৪ PM
effinayright বলেছেন...: "Is what to make of a diminished snowman.

Many have been known to create an augmented snowman with a strategically-placed carrot.; ১২/১২/২২, ১০:৫৪ PM

Jaq বলেছেন...: Our recent snow was not 'good packing,' as we used to call it as kids, when we were up for snowball fights and snowman making, you could clear the sidewalk with a leaf blower, and I did.; ১৩/১২/২২, ৫:১৩ AM
wendybar বলেছেন...: The Washington Post shows how RACIST it really is. The left shows how RACIST it is daily, yet it always places the blame on others....

wendybar বলেছেন...: "If we don’t address voter fraud, it doesn’t matter who the candidate is because democracy in America won’t exist, and your vote won’t matter—just as it hasn’t mattered for two years. How did we get from a prosperous nation and global peace to where we are now? It wasn’t just COVID. It was you. And it was me. Our government denied us the most important right we have—they stole our votes. And we said, “OK, I guess it must have been something we did.”"

Kai Akker বলেছেন...: Very clear here in eastern PA overnight. Surprised by how perfectly clear it was at 4 a.m. So I went out to see Geminid shooting stars and saw a very good one the first minute after I stepped out of my car. Hooked... ! Or semi-hooked. Saw four before cold, wind, and hunger drove me back home after 20 minutes or so. Gibbous moon was out but I faced away, toward the Dipper, and it was a feasible viewing stance.; ১৩/১২/২২, ৮:১৯ AM
wendybar বলেছেন...: Now THIS is funny.

The Biden Administration has fired cross dressing baggage thief Sam Brinton. The last straw was when he took a suitcase full of adult diapers off Air Force One.

Lurker21 বলেছেন...: I heard about Paul Silas and had no idea who he was, so I looked him up. I was surprised to find out he was a first cousin of the Pointer Sisters, the Eighties pop group. I was also surprised and saddened to learn that two of the three sisters had already passed away (I thought of my parents talking about the Andrews Sisters). The group still performs with the surviving original sister, her daughter and her granddaughter.; ১৩/১২/২২, ১০:২৮ AM
Kai Akker বলেছেন...: Wall Street's 700-pt rally has completely disappeared by lunchtime. Now DJIA a few points in the red. Pretty big giveback. What's the biggest ever?; ১৩/১২/২২, ১১:২৯ AM
