Bye bye, Yankees...

Is Israel breaking the law by stopping the Gaza-bound flotilla? According to a UN legal framework, a nation's territory does not extend beyond 19km from its shores but enforcing international maritime law is a challenge across the globe.

Yes, yes it is.

The Justice Department had 36 attorneys assigned full-time to investigate corrupt politicians when Trump took office in January.

Today it has two.

See how this works?

My grandfather, one of the first 250 members, is 100% rolling over in his grave... the essence of cooperatives is that owner-workers come first. This misleadership group sucks eggs.

"we are going to murder americans without due process"

It used to be against the law for the American government to make propaganda and display it to Americans. That law changed during the Obama era. And that's why Radio Liberty and all that were finally allowed to be aired in the US.

If its something that The Gang from Its Always Sunny would do, you should not do it.

Would have been my favorite game

Was there college women's soccer at DIII and DI much before the 80s? My high school in NJ had boys from the early 50s on but no girls until the mid-80s... which is, I think, about when Swarthmore added it. I think MSU is the oldest men's team in the present B10, with PSU and IU similar?

I put my prompt into the free ChatGPT and the main points buckets were exactly what 2/3 of the essays focused on... It's not just awful, folks are awful at using it.

What kills me about this shit is that it's not trans people/hills... Jeff, et al., apply this logic to every prog/left stance - one at a time - completely missing that standing for them all - all the time - is really popular.

Am I right that the situation is more that baseball, first, then basketball and football established professional success - especially after WWII - in ways futbol did not? When I started in '73 it seemed to be a sport of Irish, Italian, and German enclaves often absent from burbs/rurality.

It's there no direct evidence, yet, or is there an actual lack of evidence despite the fire dept searching for indications of an accelerant, etc?

Dems have lo-o-ong been an imperial/war Party

Also, they have close to no idea of the conditions/habits of the lives their grandparents grew up in - it's as if they've never heard of sex and drugs and rock and roll; Funkadelic, Shaft, and Richard Pryor; Disco, Reggae, and Punk; COINTELPRO or the Church Hearings, or Agnew & Nixon's resignations.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

So many of my students have been taught to think of Powerpoints as a means of visual learning - that or in-class videos... I hate the structure of schooling in American secondary education.

I'm writing a book on denaturing envtalism/ecoMarxism... figure if we're all about denaturing capitalism, genders, racialization, sexualities, and etc, oughta treat N/nature as the material semiotic generative mode it is, too... :-)

R.I. AFL-CIO sues Trump’s EPA over termination of $7 billion Solar for All program - The Boston Globe “The Solar for All program is critical to meeting the mandates of the Act on Climate and could lead to hundreds of good-paying union jobs,” R.I. AFL-CIO President Patrick Crowley said.

"The Rhode Island AFL-CIO & the Rhode Island Center for Justice on Monday sued the US EPA’s decision to kill the $7 billion Solar for All program, which helps pay for residential solar projects for more than 900,000 lower-income US households." #EnergyJustice www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/06/m...

this is the real legacy of Charlie Kirk

I think that some academics write really really really long articles flush with the same repeated claim just to wear the reader down, have them stop finding the citations, and make them give up... either accepting the point or, exhausted, disengaging and letting it be.

Congratufuckinglations... I'd heard Brill's new owners were charging the same for ebooks, paperbacks, and hardcover... :-(

There's also an almost total collapse of things like epidemics and floods tied to built environments with ecological cum natural events. Weber at least stayed with the trouble of the meaning of nature while the folks I'm reading collapse env'ts, ecologies, and natures at will.
