This is gold :D

Somewhat boringly, the archaeologists posit that the bones may have been associated with cult practices.

Sometimes I wonder what archaeologists a few millennia down the line will think about small polymer statuettes of human females with disproportionately large breasts, but without discernible genitalia...

Try kalamatas.

They are, however, aces at reiterating the problem.

They might be at 'evangelically' child free folks.

You did :)

German Lutheran. We don't go for strong feelings.

She looks nice. I am sure they started it, and if I just behave, all will be fine.

For sure. I think if I had to fly these days, I would feel vaguely uneasy if I ended up in a Boeing.

I'm guessing that was the rationale for sending it back unmanned?

I think informed consent is key - and I know I would give mine for the right sum, unless a family member called first dibs. I am planning to be cremated and a few ounces of ashes more or less won't make a difference.

I can hardly see any other way to obtain a human skull ethically. If the seller is honest, they should make the signed consent form available to the buyer upon request.

I see some strong social commentary here: A male presenting person essentially turns one of his (formerly SFW) nipples into a female nipple - thus turning it... NSFW? I have never seen a more scathing indictment of the bigoted way in which we treat bodies based on sex.

That, or he was being moderately funny.

In the same vein (and at least as dangerous): "Pain is just weakness leaving the body." No, you testosterone poisoned numb-nuts - it is your body's way of telling you that something is not right. Stop and listen!

Odd that The Mouse did not intervene.

I don’t think I have ever heard it called that. Very apt, though.

Satire is dead.

...and yet so apt - though it probably applies to Trump even more than to Vance: Born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and yet able to tell (sort of) regular people what they want to hear. They could probably have used this skill for Good, but that's not where they went. Sometimes I wonder whether they think they did.

The name recognition is just in case other voters are pickier / more discerning. If it's someone super cool, they may even pull in people who were not going to vote. Yes, I would literally vote for a rusty bottle cap over Trump, but others may have different requirements.
