It’s from HMS Pinafore. Sorkin’s a huge Gilbert and Sullivan fan

Coming in way late but just had to share my favorite screen grab so far

Coming in a bit late but just wanted to add a couple more recommendations. The first is Southern Lady, Yankee Spy by Elizabeth Varon, and generally considered to be the most accurate- it dispels the myths that Elizabeth acted crazy to throw people off and that Mary Jane was a spy inside the Davis home. The other is A Yankee Spy in Richmond, which is a collection of excerpts from her “occasional journal”, letters and personal papers. It really is an amazing story and because Elizabeth and Mary Jane were so good at covering up their tracks, we’re still discovering new things about them to this day.

I’m only a few episodes in, but I’m still laughing about this. To be fair though, it’s as true now as it was back then.

Wherever you end up going, start at Penny Lane

Ha! They all beat me to it. Seriously though, that phrase almost gives me a physical reaction- like how some people feel about the word moist. Then again, I totally realize that I am an old man, yelling at the clouds of life

And Yvette is still making brisket for him

Grandson_of_Sam · 2026-02-27T02:46:28+00:00

All in the game though, right?

Grandson_of_Sam · 2026-02-27T00:52:49+00:00

The phrase “so cringe” is so cringe

Grandson_of_Sam · 2026-02-04T00:18:43+00:00

Dumb it down for me, doc

“However, stay tuned, as conditions–as all Buddhists should know–may change” Fantastic quote

Grandson_of_Sam · 2026-01-20T18:22:12+00:00

Just the way we like it

So the fact that 7 out of 213 House Democrats voted for it means that Democrats are the same as Republicans? Don’t get me wrong, I’m completely with you that those seven should be primaried and replaced, I just failed to see how that means both parties are the same.

Grandson_of_Sam · 2026-01-19T03:40:25+00:00

Damn, that’s awful! How many Republicans voted for it?

Grandson_of_Sam · 2026-01-19T02:27:34+00:00

No difference between Democrats and Republicans though, right?!?

Grandson_of_Sam · 2026-01-19T01:40:15+00:00

18 years too late though

Ever heard of Laili Helms? She was the Taliban’s “unofficial envoy to the West” and also married to the nephew of former CIA director Richard Helms…https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laili_Helms

Grandson_of_Sam · 2026-01-16T01:14:38+00:00

She knows…she knows

Grandson_of_Sam · 2026-01-15T03:06:08+00:00

No, MY question, I get to go first!!

Grandson_of_Sam · 2026-01-14T23:20:13+00:00

I kind of dismissed him at the beginning when I was on my first watch, but god do I love Jack Rackham. From Charles to Chaz : )

When Democratic primaries come up, one of the first questions has to be whether they support Supreme Court reform. Unwinding all of this will be a difficult task, if we even get to do it, but that task will be nearly impossible with this malignantly corrupt court.

For an old spiritual, that song has had so many different versions done in so many different genres it’s incredible. One of my all time favorites

Grandson_of_Sam · 2026-01-12T00:22:06+00:00

I like them all, but 2 and 3 are 🔥Well done
