I will assume all redacted creeps in the files are Trump until proven otherwise (by law, incidentally).

I think the acting president of Venezuela should live in Venezuela, is all I'm saying. (Or do they not have golf courses there? Is that the problem?)

I still haven't seen a long supercut of Trump promising no foreign conflicts and Trump supporters saying they're voting for him bc they don't want anymore wars. So, uh, if you all can get on that...

Happily NOT watching CBS already, as it turns out!

People who have teacher friends and are frustrated by the Epstein files release, turning in an assignment 10% done, and that 10% is done completely wrong but the kid insists it fits the instructions, is something your friends deal with all the time

With the Trump admin threatening hospital funding if it provides childhood gender affirming care, it's worth remembering that overwhelmingly most surgical interventions are cis boys getting breast reductions (but RFK doesn't count those)

So just to be clear, every member of our military has to waste work hours doing PT every day, whether their job is physically strenuous or not, because Trump didn't like his pew pew parade? Did I get that right?

Q and the Mean Value Theorem Whew, it’s been a while since I posted here, but I need to work some stuff out. The issue I have is with the Two-Document Hypothesis (2DH) in Synoptic Gospel studies. The argument usually goes some…

For when you need an analogy between a critical hypothesis on the the gospels and a basic theorem from calculus (which has to happen at least twice a week): jeftripp.wordpress.com/2025/09/06/q...

What does Odysseus mean by time "ticking" thousands of years before mechanical clocks exactly? "The time display on my phone is accelerating rapidly, Telemachus!" #christophernolan #odyssey

Guys, just let Trump pretend he did a war thing. Then we don't need a super dumb war because his bone spurs are aching.

The SP had to make exceptions for other forms of gender-affirming care because most of such care on minors, including hormone therapy and surgeries, is for cis boys, not for trans kids.

Not at all rare, but the coincidental lamed couldn't hurt 😁

Fun idea, and maybe not the origin, as you say, but they had to pick some name. The near rhyme of elim and nefilim could have made that particular term more appealing than other contenders

Every time I start Disney+, I'm reminded of a beat up Ford Fiesta we had to pump the gas and roll a bit to get going.

A real leader could, I don't know, make DEALS with Democrats to get things done even when his party doesn't run all three branches of government.

Update on automated source detected: 98% of verses in John and Romans assigned accurately, with most of the rest HB citations or transitional verses. Next step: a mix of John and Matthew

An even so-so leader would get his same-party Congress and kiss-ass supreme court to enact his agenda legally, not sign a bunch of illegal EOs that often do nothing but get him headlines.

If we put education exports alongside product export industries, it would be #8.

I mean, seriously, they're firing all the auditors. If they pass this stupid budget, genuine question, what's holding us back from a tax strike?

Maybe not the time to balloon the debt giving handouts to billionaire welfare queens?

Republicans are testing the waters on challenging Trump with this plane deal. We should reward them, not punish them. As we call to tell them their budget sucks, we should compliment them if they've openly questioned this corruption

This is insane. Republicans have inserted language into the budget reconciliation bill that would ban states from regulating AI in any capacity for 10 years.

It's not just that they're wrong on the science. Imagine hating autistic kids so much that if there's even a 1 in billion chance vaccines cause autism, it's worth killing some children. Anti-vax is a new Molech.

Still noodling with a sorce-detection algorithm using a big mix of John and Romans as a test run. Looking good, I think. #bible #biblesky
