The Hall of Fire

An e-friend who has access to Trump's posts on Truth Social reports he is now convinced he's going to be arrested. He says it's like watching "a rat in a hot box." That almost makes me want to download the Truth Social app... almost, but not quite. Edit: you can access his posts here witho...

I had to do a major paper and seminar on a book for Gr. 13 English. I chose to do it on The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Gr. 13 was a long time ago, and I've forgotten a lot about the book. Mainly because it's been mentioned on banned book lists lately, I decided it was time to do a reread. I was...

It's possible the cows have been abandoned to fend for themselves, and are hoping these humans will feed them.
Human suffering in a war zone generally gets all the attention. People rarely think about the animals. Cows can't graze when the fields are covered in snow.

And Carlson said about Trump's various businesses: "All of them fail. What he's good at is destroying things." Yep. I've been in contact with a lady whose husband runs a large real estate trust company. Trump approached him about getting into the business, and showed him a business plan h...

I have just found out the Auschwitz Exhibit's next stop is going to be California: 'Auschwitz. Not Long Ago. Not Far Away' in Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in California from March 2023 https://www.auschwitz.org/en/museum/news/auschwitz-not-long-ago-not-far-away-in-ronald-reagan-presidential-li...

Well, that's good, but it's still a drop in the bucket. As a Canadian, I was shocked to see Rose say today that she and her husband pay $24,000 a year out of pocket for health care! That's more than some low income Americans make in a YEAR!! http://thehalloffire.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3389&p=...

What took them so long?

I checked out the Fox channel I get. They have news twice a day, and the rest is mostly network programming, like Friends, The Big Bang Theory, Bob's Burgers, etc.

I've often wished there was some way to shut down Fox news for the lies it tells.

Rose, my Rogers TV package includes Fox. Occasionally it has programs worth watching (movies, etc.) Is the 'news' channel separate from its other channel? Most Canadian channels have a news broadcast 2 or 3 times a day, and the rest of the day is mostly network entertainment programs.

Wow. Just saw this article - Musk has cut yet another 200 or so employees, which represents about 10% of the remaining workforce. This includes an employee who has been putting in mega hours, and even sleeping in her office, because Musk said: Loaded with debt after the $44 billion sale, and with ad...

Rose, as a retired science teacher: HEAD:DESK :x :x :x Well, the Toronto mayor's office has once again been rocked by scandal. Mayor John Tory has resigned, after confessing to having an affair with a female staff member. This comes as a great surprise to most people, who saw Tory as someone stable ...

Rainbow flags? Here's Trump campaigning in 2015, trying to pretend he likes gays... :roll: Anything for a vote, Donald, right? Rose, I remember the golden Trump statue from one of the Republican events! I found it hard to believe that people claiming to be Christian would not see the Bibical symboli...

So, the stones mark children's graves? Is the family responsible for maintaining the grounds? That would be quite a job!

One of my all-time favourite YouTube videos features a reunion of the core members of the Byrds, including Crosby, along with Bob Dylan at a Roy Orbison tribute concert. Notice how when Dylan comes out (5.37 into the video), he and Crosby just start harmonizing together, totally unrehearsed! :love: ...

I haven't read it, or at least, I don't recall reading it, but that cover has definite Tarzan the Ape-Man vibes. I downloaded a Tarzan novel for .99 cents recently, and couldn't finish it. It was something I would have enjoyed as a kid, but not as an adult. Anyway, book/cover...not gonna judge witho...

Yes, I did do a search to see if there was somewhere else I could put this without starting a new thread! It amazed me to find out how many references there were to Colbert on HoF, but given what a major Tolkien geek he is, I guess I shouldn't have been all THAT surprised. Anyway, here's the scoop! ...

I had to double-check this to make sure it was true! https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/13/politics/missouri-dress-code-lawmakers-house/index.html Missouri legislature now requires women to cover their arms and shoulders: CNN — Lawmakers in the Missouri House of Representatives this week adopted a stricter...

The wheels have been starting to turn...I am mulling over a character, but need to know what the time period and the place of this inn is going to be, so I can develop an appropriate backstory for them. I think this is a good choice. So much of the great RP stories on TORC revolved around inns, and ...

Those are both extremely beautiful, and superbly crafted!

Okay, this meme just absolutely has to be shared here!
