If someone from the Times reached you at SockDaddy420@gmail or whatever, thinking you were Bill DeBlasio, it would be sheer malpractice to NOT fuck with them

Trump orders Pentagon to begin testing nuclear weapons 'immediately' The U.S. voluntarily halted nuclear explosive testing in 1992, though it has the ability to resume tests at a site in Nevada.

I'm going to say this again. Y'all absolutely have time to do this before even more irreversible things happen. Please impeach the President and remove him from office stat. Please.

WOW! The Washington Post obtained the rest of the body cam footage showing that the drunk-driving ICE agent promised to check if the arresting officer's partner was Haitian. "I’m going to run some checks when I get back." He added that he would have him deported if "not legit."

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Dems *can’t* fold. Not anymore. Folding and getting nothing is a tacit admission that the shutdown and what pain it caused is all on us. We are in this now, and we’ve got to see it through.

Rep. Rosa DeLauro: "On the food stamp issue, the money is there! Let them not get away with saying they can't do it. Their political will isn't there to feed the people who rely on the SNAP program which is the most effective anti-hunger program in the USA."

The issue of West Mabou Beach Provincial Park is important to the entirety of Nova Scotia because handing it over to create a golf course would set a precedent for all protected land in the province. If they can do it here, they will do it anywhere. Comments on this: www.youtube.com/live/RP1xHzB...

Millions Could See Medical Debt Added to Credit Reports Under Trump Plan The Trump administration is set to issue new guidance prohibiting states from removing medical debt from credit reports.

First Trump shut down the government instead of working with us to lower health care costs β€” now his admin wants to block states from wiping medical debt off credit reports.

Saddle millions with medical debt, then let it crush their credit. Billionaire playbook.

Most people have no idea what a second cousin or a cousin once removed is

One generation up? Aunt/Uncle. Same generation? Cousin. Generation down? Niece/nephew/nibling.

The original Far Side Cow Tools Cartoon by Gary Larson. A cow stands on its hind legs behind a table, staring blankly at the viewer from behind its heavy brow ridge. On the table are four crudely made tools: a lump, a lump with an offset crooked handle, a long stick with hooked prongs at the end, and a crude handsaw with irregular teeth. In the background a barn sits on a hill. Caption reads, "Cow tools."

Many rape survivors are forced to share custody with their attackers Only 32 states allow the termination of parental rights of rapists, leaving countless women in the U.S. tethered to the men who assaulted them

Many rape survivors are forced to share custody with their attackers, writes Teresa Shonda in a new op-ed. Only 32 states allow the termination of parental rights of rapists who conceive a child, leaving countless women in the U.S. tethered to the men who assaulted them.

If you pass Humanity's Earth,
Land, buy some local delicacies:
Chocolate, coffee, tea, liquorice.
There are more; ask a Human.

Keep them, until you need
To befriend a Human
Wandering the galaxy
Far from home.

The rumours about Humans are true,
For good or ill

A gift can be invaluable

I don’t know what the solution is, here. MY websites are free, and they don’t get as much traffic as they did before twitter, either. The free and fair internet is dying because of big, systemic forces, and maybe nothing but totally different big, systemic forces, which don’t exist, could save it.

Indiana University banned its student newspaper from printing just days before homecoming weekend β€” after firing the paper’s advisor when he refused to censor critical coverage. 

That would be bad enough on its own, but FIRE is taking this one personally, as the Indiana Daily Student reported this hostile campaign was due in part to its coverage of FIRE’s ranking Indiana University as the worst public university for free speech.

You read that right. The school’s response to the news that they are bad at free speech … is to censor the news. It’s ironic β€” and not just in the Alanis Morissette sense β€” that these actions will likely push its overall ranking even lower next year. At least we can’t fault them for consistency.

Why did Indiana University attack and cut its own student newspaper?

Well, in a twist of irony any English professor would call clichΓ©d, it turns out IU did it because they were angry about the students' reporting on a FIRE report naming IU as the worst public university for free speech in the US.

Been really enjoying these Instagram videos by Peter Glomb, a Swiss-trained, American watchmaker at Wristcheck. Here, he's repairing a rare version of the Patek 96, first introduced in 1932 and widely regarded as the watch that set the template for dress watches.
