this is, if you can prove it, one of those old fashioned Big Time Fraud Crimes. Like years *per* odometer

from the people who brought you "your $5 coffee a day is why you're still poor" and "You are fat because you eat out all the time"

50 years ago the BBC filmed this incredible documentary about Shrewsbury Town FC’s ball boy who was a grown ass man named Fred who owned a tiny boat.

From 1968 a beautiful book of Ukrainian pysanky designs - the technique for egg decorating using wax & dye. www.presentandcorrect.com/blogs/blog/p...

Someone knows who this man is and where he spends his time. He should be identified. And he should not feel comfortable showing his face in public after this.

Why even have a brain, any ideas, any ability to express them, any kind of communication with other people, any desire to solve problems or invent anything, any reason to learn, any use for your eyes or your heart, or any reason to teach or create

Trump is so lost in the sauce that he is incapable of grasping that he is trying to negotiate from a position of weakness and doesnt get to make these sorts of demands

My model shows a 94% chance that Trump will defy the Supreme Court's order regarding Kilmar Abrego García, and a 0% chance he will be impeached for it. And I rank the best burritos in the El Salvador prison system. All that and more in the next Silver Bulletin.

I've seen some argumentation on here that oh, this was a crisis too, but just on a different magnitude than what's going on right now. In my experience, though, students became more "radical" in these years because they were seeing so much preferential treatment for conservative speech on campus

My spouse is a teacher in a Portland area public school. Paid leave is part of your compensation. They aren't "missing" school, they are finally setting boundaries and taking their full compensation despite being guilted constantly to sacrifice their life hours and pay for the school system.

People still out here in 2025 pretending that FIRE was ever anything other than a project to advance and privilege conservative speech

Guess what the magnitude of threats is actually the main thing that matters about them! Getting struck by lightning and getting cancer are both ‘threats’ in some abstract way but in the real world you should care about one of them and not the other.

Maybe you should have listened to the political scientists & others pleading for you to pay attention & not spent all of last spring doing the tired bit about how there was no difference at all between the two doddering old men?

Watching a certain kind of too-online leftists brains slowly implode today because the oppressive dictator currently illegally incarcerating & (likely) torturing non-white US citizens in El Salvador is of Palestinian descent sure has been interesting.

I realize this is very low on the list of priorities but I can’t help wondering how the heck a guy with an Arabic name ended up as the dictator of a Latin American country

"the state can just summarily imprison someone without filing charges or holding a trial" doesn't just overturn democracy it overturns 1000 years of common law, like throwing out the entire legal system entirely and saying all people in America are the state's property.

Re: Human Resources workers While it is true that part of their job is to protect the company from liability, the way that most often manifests is by -nipping abusive behavior in the bud -making sure equipment is not run by drunks and junkies -making sure all safety protocols are being followed

I have no idea what shithead dirtbag leftist account has decided that this fight has to happen this morning, but if you had any doubt that these people have the mentality of middle schoolers without any serious politics, well

How many slap-chop missiles does SOUTHCOM have at their disposal? Just curious.

Look. I’m glad that AOC and BS are drawing big crowds and getting people riled up. We’re going to need that energy to continue during actual election years though. We need these folks to show up to the polls. We’ve seen big crowds before that didn’t translate to electoral wins. We need wins.
