He/Him, grew up small town, grown up big city. Educated in theology and politics, which explains why he's really quiet in person. Checks most of the boxes for a progressive with far left sympathies. Striving to be kind. Mostly succeeding.

President Trump commutes the prison sentence of George Santos The disgraced New York Republican was sentenced to more than seven years in prison after pleading guilty to a litany of federal charges, including wire fraud and identity theft.

I think this kind of blatant corruption would make Old Man Daley blush.

"Uphill both ways to school" got nothing on this.

My school had that old school heat that was so overzealous it was designed so you had to keep the window open. You could get second degree burns by touching the radiators.

That's the truth. Hell, I went to high school in a small rural college town in Appalachian Maryland and our high school was reasonably resourced. There were struggles, sure, but we certainly didn't lack for books.

And in big cities, the inequities in education are so obvious that it's galling.

I've read a few things on the internet that read like pure nightmare fuel.

And yeah, that's a lot of friction. I can imagine.

I joked once that if I ever get arrested, I'm a bicyclist, I want my scare story to be epic. I want there to be explosions.

I'm guessing these things are supposed to be inspected at regular intervals...right?

Winning with misinformation: New research identifies link between endorsing easily disproven claims and prioritizing symbolic strength Conversations around misinformation that assume everyone cares about literal truth may be missing the point.

I'm a Christian, but - maybe because of that - I'm keenly aware of the way a lot of religious people prioritize a sort of a priori logic to "justify" absolute batshit thinking.

"Well, if you quietly sneak in this assumption, you suddenly have to think everything else follows!"

Is this going to turn into that joke about the future of country music where your truck leaves you and you write a song about it?

For a second I thought you were talking about the pattern of white kids being taught to carry a persecution complex.

But no, this is a lot worse.

‘Incredibly important’ Imagist Roger Brown gave his collection to Chicago. How’d it end up in Wisconsin? As a new exhibition opens in Sheboygan, Wis., some in the art world ponder whether the School of the Art Institute let slip a key piece of the city’s cultural history.

I mean...I guess it doesn't offend me. I hope they take care of it.

Trump is all about the appearance. And I suspect we'll learn...at some point...how quickly the veneer wears off.

I'd check my watch but I'm watching too many balls right now to focus on this one that hard, sadly.
