Ba’athification is the best descriptionI've seen so far.

I know Trump and his minions all have sneering contempt for kids with special needs, but trust me when I say that their parents will absolutely fucking destroy anyone who messes with the special education supports to which they are entitled by law.

Given the OPSEC and COMSEC skills of the administration, it is not out of question that a foreign intelligence service was aware of this announcement and chose to drop their slush fund into this endeavor.

No school will be forced to adhere to the compact’s principles of fairness, civility, neutrality and transparency. If schools do not want to be accountable to these requirements, they need not accept federal funding.

If your university will not remake itself in Marc Rowan & May Mailman's preferred image, it can expect a complete shutoff of "federal funds."

To emphasize the point Rowan says it again: "THEY NEED NOT ACCEPT FEDERAL FUNDING"

I hope this will put to rest the credulous "carrot not stick" narrative.

Contrast all of this decimation of the CDC & unraveling of vax recommendations with the fact that Trump got a covid shot and a flu shot yesterday. The message is clear: they dont care if *we* die, but they sure as fuck wanna make sure they dont

An irony of GOP/MAGA's attacks on university sector is that, structurally, it's as close to a "free market" as you'll find in US.

There are 1000s of universities, mostly operating independently.

Unlike tech sector (or coal, oil/gas, eyeglasses, etc), market concentration is incredibly low.

Calvin and Hobbes comic strip where Calvin asks what's for dinner, his mother replies tortellini and Calvin expresses dislike, however he is next seen reading the dictionary in an attempt to learn the meaning of the word tortellini. Tortellini is, btw, from Modena Italy.

Of course he's OK, he just got back from Thrifty Dialysis and is feeling his oats!

Douthat: So, simple question: Do you think I’m going to hell?
Wilson: [Chuckles.] That’s not my job.

GOD: I'll take that question and answer it with one of my own: Do either of you yahoos believe I want to spend eternity with you?

If activated by Federal government, they are on the hook for pay and benefits.

It will be something if said officer is willing to perjure himself with a sworn statement or court testimony.

Kissinger got one, so there is precedent that when the war criminals stop criming, they get rewarded. Problem is, DJT hasn't stopped criming.

Since Roy predates John, I assume he's the one who started this...

And yet somehow this isn't the worst of it. The worst part? The dude is attempting to scam his elderly mother.

There is a precedent here: Kissinger. If war criminals stop their criming, we reward them.

That prediction about AI and radiology... yeah, that's how this is going to end. Now if you want to talk about having AI _*help*_ you find protein folds that you didn't know exist, yeah that might just work. AI cannot deliver a finished product.

The reason why Columbus Day came into being is also informative. Like yesterday's antifa started in the Weimar Republic, this one is just as telling - they know the history and want to erase it.

Man stands with poster that says “rule 11 sanctions”

Work extensively with MD's and PhD's (a few MPH's and MHA's too) and this is my experience too. Not sure if it's they spent so much of their life focused on developing one talent, but to the person, they are often simply lost when out of their comfort zone. Engineers are worse though.

Yeah but you can't beat results. Hannity, Rogan, and the rest of the vapid flotilla of MAGA should try it.

Doing what George W Bush refuses to do, demonstrate that there is humanity in the conservative movement. This is the British equivalent of Reagan saying Trump et al are fascists. The GOP is filled with cowards.

I was fortunate. I was overseas when this came out so this is the first time I've seen this video. As I wrote, I was fortunate... (Egads, this was very bad.)

Aside from Vance, who as veep is functionally unemployed, farming the approval of racist trolls for validation, this is their worldview: white people are true Americans and are entitled to be here, the rest of us are guests and must behave accordingly

the whole idea behind a representative democracy is that i elect people that think what i think and i can go off and watch soccer and have biblical relations with my wife and go camping and fishing.

i’m not supposed to have to think about this shit every day.

I'm going out on a limb and say these people were never "left" they just were, and remain, unwanted and ignored. Hence their need to to pronounce why that they left: no one wanted them around nor did anyone listen to them, and when they departed no one noticed or cared. That bothers them.

And that they are inherently evil and malicious people. Given the opportunity to inflict pain to feed their sadistic desires, they do so willingly and with gusto.
