I don't have any issue with it by itself.

but there are people out here, including teachers, saying "equivalent to reading" and that simply is not so for the purposes of exercising reading akills

Godfrey Wade came to the US from Jamaica when he was 15 years old.

He served in the Army for 8 years and won multiple awards including a wartime veteran award and a US Army Commendation Medal

ICE grabbed him for failing to use a turn signal, and he’s been held for 70 days.

if you don't have a chance to poast, how free are you, really.

Imagine being handed this as political messaging and not using it. It just blows my mind. Beyond the incomprehensible inhumanity and evil it represents and that requires condemning, it is cynically easy politics to lambast your enemies as soulless ghouls who deport their children’s mothers.

no, I can tell you conclusively that KISS were never, and will never be cool. I trust my gut, not some egghead professor of eggheaditude

Almost two thirds of North Americans can directly trace their genetic lineage back to Orville redenbacher

It could take decades to recover from where we are.

🎉🧪 Some rare GOOD news (🙃): the National Defense Authorization Act language that's just been released seems to have eliminated the "SAFE Research Act," which would have barred any scientist from federal funding if they had Chinese collaborations in the last 5 years rules.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Mr Tumnus Discovers the "Manosphere"

After this weekend's racist attacks on the EU, I've written a column about the moral obligation to stop posting on X.

Oh no, wait, I wrote it *two years ago* when it was blatantly obvious what was going on and how it would get much much worse.

is he so far around the bend that he'd forget what its for and try and pull it out?

It's just insane that no pilot thought of this route before AI brilliantly came up with it!!!!!!!!

that is dastardly and i am here for it

A tweet that reads "Charlie once had a Fulnecky too"

lol

A TPUSA poster called "The Full Truth" with guest speaker "Samantha Fulnecky"

The lady who failed her essay because it was a bad essay is now a guest speaker at TPUSA.

Recently, I've been asked whether every baby actually needs HBV vaccination, largely with the implication that doing this is "one size fits all," and that's not a good approach.

Implicit in this assumption is the idea that every individual's physiology is so unique that it demands unique care.

yea. i converted the clip to a gif specifically to be able to add alt text! damn your eyes, bluesky!

i dont see it on any of my devices, so i'll take your word for it

Bronze plaque saying "A Letter to the Future. Ok is the first Icelandic glacier to lose its status as a glacier. In the next 200 years all our glaciers are expected to follow the same path. This monument is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it. August 2019. 415ppm CO2"

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

i put alt text in mine but i think because of its length the "alt" tag doesnt come up or something? am i diagnosing this correctly?

Amplifying the voices of people who tried for an entire year to come up with an “originalist” case against birthright citizenship and failed to persuade anyone who wasn’t already persuaded is not worth it.

Signed, a guy who spent an entire year refuting them

I’m Democrat Shawn Harris, and while Marjorie Taylor Greene has decided she no longer wants to run against me, we still have a critical special election ahead of us. Northwest Georgia deserves a representative who shows up, votes, and works for the people every single day.

i take every opportunity to promote wider viewing of Army of Shadows, so consider this my plug for it

literally any goodwill will have blu-ray players for like $5

the “unitary executive” theory is incompatible with successful science.

We get to choose: the current Supreme Court and its views on executive power, or America’s science superpower. We can’t have both

"psychic wage" is the term of art i've seen in some of the literature around healthcare

i cant get alt text to work with this gif, and im not sure whether thats because of its length (i had to screencap and convert it) or what
