... Except for the part where you have to verify it's work. You are definitionally saving no time or effort of your doing what you demand of others.

The article reads like a parody. Is this a joke? Have I been had?

yeah that kind of contempt for the agency & dignity of others is pretty much par for Bruenig. Crap like that is why I wrote her off years ago.

A radical conservative murdered two people she would say she considers friends, & tried to murder two more. His people seem uninterested in condemning his actions. Crap like calling for "civility" is a great illustration of why Dem leadership needs a complete turnover.

has anyone followed up with trump about the plans to re-open Alcatraz? What's the current timeline? Are there any bids out?
Or does the fact that the President of the United States gives orders and then forgets about them after a few days just pass as totally normal to everyone in the media now?

This is because modern American-style ketchup is so highly standardized that variations are seen as disappointing, because they do not meet expectations.
People arguing for only yellow mustard on hot dogs are expressing the same phenomenon.

Counterpoint: Mustard is in no sense a 'solved condiment.' For example yellow & brown mustard are different condiments that have different purposes.

This is going back 40+ years but I recall him being clean-shaven.
The shorts were blue. At least that's how I remember them.

Vivid memory of rolling down the interstate on a family vacation & getting passed by some dude on a motorcycle wearing nothing but a pair of gym shorts & sunglasses, both bare feet resting on the folding front footpegs.

What if I think my friend is being a dick for deciding that my other friend is an asshole?

At this point, expecting any deal with the US or Israel to be honored would be foolhardy on Iran's part, so I'm not sure I'd regard that report as credible.

ALSO: Racism maybe you want some specific texts (where it's ABSOLUTELY there, yes), but you kind of can't throw a rock in Shakespeare without hitting sexism. Having a harder time thinking of works where it's not.

That's my serious answer.
I think we've done what we can here, so muting.

You have a dog in this fight about belief in sin requiring a belief in deity or religion. My experience of the world is that neither of those is required. Sin is simply a belief that some badness is qualitatively deeper. Saying you need religion to believe in sin is giving too much power to religion

Yep. People in the excluded categories get what are thought of as the worst jobs - the ones that are seen to make them unclean, or damn them to hell, etc.
Once the objectionable practice becomes normalized, of course it's fine for the in-group folks to profit from it.
