republicans are in charge of everything and they are getting everything theyve ever wanted and doing everything theyve ever wanted and the world is on fire and the global world order is collapsing. is there a correlation? who can say
"A department generating high credit-hour production across the university but with few declared majors is not an inefficient department. It is a department whose students are not being counted in the metric being used against it."
The extent to which the last few years demonstrate that "good times make weak men" is true, but that it means the opposite of what the phrase's proponents mean by it, is wild.
I agree, in multiple ways
there is absolutely no way that I would ever be able to do anything with this idea myself, so I offer it up: physics-heavy game that uses twin sticks to control a meteor hammer

in all seriousness, Mike Smith is a resist lib in his political cartooning, so Gearhead Gertie would be down. (so is Rick McKee)
Guy who goes around demanding that everyone recognize the UAE's right to exist
I assume it's both a sick joke that he and Netanyahu both understand, and a bug that he is too dumb to realize he should care about
no. FUCK you, you fucking antisemite.
In a sane world, all the Mamdani haters would be subject to an endless barrage of 'why haven't you openly moderated your stance on Mamdani, to restore trust in readers/voters that you are not an extreme radical, unwilling to let go of the tribalism that blinded you to his character to begin with?'
yeah "who started it" is unproductive. It's just that my Hebrew school pretty much explicitly taught that the 1948 War started when Arab countries attacked newly independent Israel to conquer the land, and it was much later that I learned the scale of the attacks on Palestinians before that.
The thing about Zohran doing this is that he may not get immediate credit from Jewish organizations, but telling these psychos to fuck off and thus polarizing his own broad left-wing coalition against them is in and of itself beneficial.
uh I'm not a Middle Eastern scholar either but that seems like not an accurate account of the start of the Arab-Israeli War. The Haganah had already expelled (or massacred) many Palestinians before Arab countries declared war
(this does not excuse her saying that)

Death is obviously horrific. Loss of loved ones is definitely devastating. But who is going to compensate us for all the lost time we've wasted on fearing & worrying & panicking & getting angry instead of actually living? I want all of my wasted years back so that I can be a young girl again.
last one gets me. the reason there's a housing crisis is that in most places you're not *allowed* to hammer those 2 x 4s.
That’s not what happened. The feds alleged on Friday that the posted depos violated the protective order. The judge said take it off YouTube til Tuesday when I can hold a hearing on whether the protective order was violated and proper procedures followed.

it's not transmissible through social media, right?
Folks, I regret to inform you: This design was OK'd by the Citizens Coin Advisory Committee in...October 2024. Its design was set in place when Biden was in office. The designer left out the olive branch to symbolize the colonists' not yet achieving peace, but hoping for it. Trump didn't do this.
I would like to assure you that there is nothing to be worried about and you should definitely keep filming. especially when you don't think you're filming
I copy-pasted the email address for "Freedom and Liberty" into Google and the second hit was a Threads post reading "Love your perky mellons"
I don't know what I expected
Michael Powell's beat both at the NYT and Atlantic was campus free speech...right up until Trump was elected. At a time when student free speech is being literally persecuted, with student protesters being deported and imprisoned, he now writes nothing, focusing almost exclusively on the mayor.
And court hearings in Minnesota have revealed many cases of Minnesota residents abducted to Texas and released there without their IDs and possessions.
Again, these are only the cases we know about.

The other known case was Nurul Amin Shah Alam, the blind Rohingya refugee who CBP abandoned at a closed Tim Horton's, shoeless, in Buffalo winter without informing his family or lawyers.

this is a key structural problem in how elite opinion journalism covers our politics. these folks don’t actually interact with the maga hoi polloi; and more importantly, *they do not want to do that* because if they did they’d have to admit - to themselves - that actual rank/fike MAGA are fashy.
