Alright, I’m resolving the debate. All of these are simultaneously true: 1) Dems are the minority in Congress, greatly limiting their institutional power 2) Congressional Dems can and should be doing more 3) Some Dems are actually doing opposition, drawing public attention, etc 4) Not enough are

i think the executive orders directing agencies to end energy efficiency regulations and open up more land to drilling and mining is so indicative of the character of the american right — in its view everything, whether people or our larger environment, is something to be exploited and dominated

The rules, if you are keeping track: If a single left activist anywhere in the world says "defund the police," it becomes the official position of the Democratic Party, now and forever. If the president's top surrogate repeatedly sieg-heils on stage, it's ambiguous, impossible to interpret.

I am not a fan of Snow White, but my toddler wanted to watch it. And it is quite clear that Grumpy is not just a curmudgeon, but a misogynist. He should probably just be called "Incel."

Idk where cooking/baking well fall on the talent-practice axis, but somehow I more than make up for the deficits of both of my parents' food prep outputs. So yeah, my homemade cinnamon rolls, once again, were absolute bangers. Pierogi and Wellington gonna be lit, too.

As Luigi Mangione heads into court, let's remember that some of the evidence against him is ballistics matching, which is really quite unreliable. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

The employee stabbing of the president of Anderson Express in Muskegon is not a Luigi copycat. Think about it. Look at the situations next to each other. They are very different. So I really don't appreciate media outlets trying to paint the incident as such.

Mangione getting a "terrorism" charge is a claim that some people's lives are more important than others -- which is in fact what the US healthcare system claims too www.bbc.com/news/article...

I remember fighting with FSU and United about increased premiums when I was the president of the grad assistant labor union. United showed us some really high claims to justify increased rates. The claims, based on date, were clearly related to the injuries sustained by victims of a campus shooter.

It's the time of the semester when the students who have been sleeping on (and in) your class want you to teach them, in 15-30 minutes, the skills you have been introducing and drilling for the past couple months.

United Healthcare took down the part of their website that named the C-suite. And I get that's a safety measure. I suspect these kinds of safety measures would be less necessary if healthcare corporations weren't so predatory and vampiric. HMMMM.

Please don't call what RFK Jr. and Jay Bhattacharya are going to do medieval. It's not medieval. It's nothing like the Middle Ages. People in the Middle Ages were happy to try all kinds of things to not die of the plague and if you'd given them antibiotics and vaccines they would have loved it.

What most public debates about water fluoridation miss is that it is not just a public health measure, but an economic equality measure. Fluoride helps protect the health of children whose families lack the resources to provide them comprehensive dental care.
