I do research on the history and philosophy of mathematics in the Early Modern period.

Putin was evidently consulted on the design of Trump’s new ballroom. On the left, the Kremlin ballroom; on the right, the proposed Jeffrey Epstein memorial ballroom.

Hogan was a gigantic piece of shit but let us not forget he was also a huge turd.

They voted for this, so there’s some Schadenfreude in seeing how the MAGA agenda plays out.

Most of them were slave owners, so cut the β€œfreedom” talk.

Today we remember that more than 70% of the signatories of the American Declaration of Independence owned slaves. Consequently, all of the document’s rhetoric about liberty and equality should be dismissed as self-serving bullshit.

ICE looking more and more like the American Gestpo.

So Trump will decide whether to go to war with Iran β€œin two weeks.” I guess the decision will come during Infrastructure Week.

There is no such thing as the scientific method.

So, anyone know how the LA NHL franchise, the Sacramento NBA club, and the Kansas City MLB team are reacting to today’s protests?

If I were asked to name what Republicans take to be the two most important virtues, I would say β€œselfishness” and β€œcruelty”. If pressed to name a third, I’d have to say β€œwhite supremacy”.

Could somebody hurry up and start doxxing ICE staff?

It has become painfully clear that the median IQ of Americans is way lower than anyone might have previously guessed.

The only small silver lining in the Trump 2 shitshow is that a great deal (likely most) of the pain and suffering will be inflicted on Trump voters. And those knuckle-dragging simians fucking deserve all of it. β€œShitshow with silver lining”: song title?

Is it just stupidity on their part, or is it an attempt to deceive people (while assuming everyone is too dumb to see through this shit)?

Seriously surprised that there are 46K out there to recall.

The USA is well on its way to β€œpariah nation” status. What an absolute shithole this place has become.

Start with the fact that air travel here in the US has become more risky as the traffic control system degrades. Add the fact that anyone coming from abroad can be detained indefinitely, and this country is obviously one to avoid.

Happy ending. Rare in these times, but I’ll take it.

If Dems were unwilling to fight over cabinet nominees and unwilling to fight over the budget/shutdown, it’s safe to assume they’re not going to fight over anything.

The Democratic Party establishment is Trump’s most reliable weapon. Far more effective than the MAGA base, these clowns are the key to permanent Republican rule.

It can be useful to look at 17th C Latin grammar textbooks to see what students were taught back then. You don’t need to go through the whole book, but it can help to see how they were exposed to such things as proper use of the ablative, etc.

I watched the Trump-Zelensky clips. I remember Europeans taking to the streets after 9/11 in a show of solidarity and support for the US. Were such an attack to occur today, Europeans would take to the streets in celebration. And they would be right to do so. This country is deservedly reviled.

One of the few bright spots these days is the chance to read stories like this.

What better way to get beyond the Johnny Manziel episode than to sign Rodgers to a 4 year guaranteed deal at $50 million?

It wasn’t the 8-0 annihilation I was hoping for, but it’s enough.

I want Team USA to lose by at least 8-0 and never win another international competition.
