And totally off topic, but have you ever noticed how many of his songs mention food, eating, dieting, etc?

Lola, Out of the Wardrobe, and David Watts* are evidence that his brand of conservatism is markedly different from today’s interpretation.

This bridge was a case study for a Systems Engineering class I took a couple years back

Let me guess, the owner of the old bridge, which is going to lose a lot of revenue to this, is a Trump doner.

What determines if a uni job is tenure track or not? Likelihood of publishing journal articles and securing grant money?

production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

There are probably at least 5% who deliberately f*** with the poll takers just to screw up the results.

You can dress for the cold. But the sunlight, that’s hard to replace.

There’s a reason why my congressional district, which carves out a slice of Austin and is barely a mile wide where I live, includes all of College Station.

It’s hilarious how Amazon will claim, at 6 pm, that your package is arriving today despite not having shipped yet.

Holy hell the article is terrible, but saying that Renee Good was somehow lacking in motherly instincts because she had **dropped her child off at school** is particularly foul.

Yep. Went to school at UM (used to walk by the music school every morning on my way to class) and then moved to Ypsi after I graduated.

Used to live right next to it. It was an inspiring sight to see as I pulled out of the driveway every morning on my way to work!

Considering how much importance their boss puts on physical appearance when hiring, criticizing their appearance is fair.

So keep pushing. Anything short of ICE’s abolition isn’t nearly enough.

And I’d say that even ICE’s abolition should only be the start of ending the violence that came to feel “normal” under Trump.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”

That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

We can’t discount the possibility that the reason he was fired was actually because Trump thinks he’s too short and that he looks silly surrounded by henchmen who are all a head taller.

Disbanding ICE is the only acceptable starting point.

Prosecution for all ICE leadership after disbanding is the moderate position.

Anyone talking about "training" is a fascist.

I hate that I know exactly which racist dog whistle he was blowing there by implying that low-IQ people don’t have an issue with smoke alarms.

Their policy of not writing decent manuals because they expect you to either watch a YouTube video someone made for free or to use a manual for the original is aggravating.

Challenge for TV & film scriptwriters: write a scene about a physics professor giving a lecture on something *other* than Schrödinger’s cat.

Melted cheddar?
I used to have apple pie with not-melted cheddar at home growing up because my dad picked up the idea somewhere, but I never saw it served like that anywhere. Were we doing it wrong?
