Possibly. I went to Wegmans a few hours ago and it was totally fine. I did notice more students there than usual. More students go to other stores in town

If this is actually the new set of strategic goals, the Trump administration is admitting that they have strategically failed and this has been a disaster.

I want to also see a list of top brass in the military and plans to prosecute them for war crimes already perpetrated, e.g., blowing up Venezuelan fishing boats. If they won't refuse illegal orders, it needs to be made clear, they will go to prison for it

Dear NEH Grantee,
This letter provides notice that the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) is terminating your federal grant (Grant Application No. FEL29509824) effective April 3, 2025, in accordance with the termination clause in your Grant Agreement.
Your grant no longer effectuates the agency's needs and priorities and conditions of the Grant
Agreement and is subject to termination due to several reasonable causes, as outlined in 2CFRΒ§200.340.
For instance, NEH has reasonable cause to terminate your grant in light of the fact that the NEH is repurposing its funding allocations in a new direction in furtherance of the President's agenda. The President's February 19, 2025 executive order mandates that the NEH eliminate all non-statutorily required activities and functions. See Commencing the Reduction of the Federal Bureaucracy, E.O. 14217 (Feb. 19, 2025). Your grant's immediate termination is necessary to safeguard the interests of the federal government, including its fiscal priorities. Any objections or appeals to this termination will be managed in strict accordance with the President's Executive Orders,

Last year, this guy (left) from DOGE used ChatGPT to find NEH grants that were too β€œDEI” for Trump, and canceled them, including mine, as shown by the letter I received last April (right). Huge new NYT article on the back story link below

Trump multiple times just today has said the country is at war. War can only be declared by Congress, and Iran posed no imminent threat. What Trump is doing there is a textbook illegal war and impeachable offense β€” if we still had a Congress.

There is literally no way to find a real life fox that attractive and that’s sort of the dealbreaker for folks, most real life foxes just want to eat chickens and not be sexy

There is zero reason in a functioning democracy that we should express any news in terms of odds on a betting market.

β€œIran invasion odds 5:2 per xxxxx” is dystopian nonsense

Holy fucking shit. 'If Trump says we won then we won' is even further down the hole than the Orwell quote people always dig up about eyes and ears. He attacked Iran so he could win another fake award. That's it. That's the whole thing. That's wild

ICE detain U.S. Army veteranβ€”a 50 year old woman with major health issues.

20 plus armed agents stormed this residential neighborhood to arrest her at gunpoint.

Her crime? Kate just took part in a peaceful protestβ€”evidently her 5 foot tall stature intimidated these agents.

I mean, the hoard going to a museum wouldn't have changed the fact the hoard is recorded and photographed in the PAS. Or do you mean if the hoard was found on a site as part of a scientific archaeological excavation?
