This should be truly scary. "are alleged to have been part of a group that created and distributed insurrectionary materials called “zines.”"

Every accusation an admission

But honestly with the AP and the >4.0 gpa expectation, we've been there.

In my family, we regularly do blind taste tests of random things. Like the Great Apple Test of 2024(cosmic crisp in a landslide, but the bottom-half rankings were chaos), the Cheap Pizza Challenge of 2025 (don't bother with sub $5 frozen pizza except party pizza).

Either what he posts online is The Official Word, or it isn't. The "I was joking" is insufficient.

Right? Hard for me to reread my favorites when I'm thinking "that's all?"

I keep getting stuck on the idea than <2% is a "mandate" - other "mandates" include:
1976 (Carter vs. Ford) - about 2.1%
2004 (Bush vs. Kerry) - about 2.5%
2016 (Clinton vs. Trump) - about 2.1% for Clinton, Trump won electoral college

Kim Stanley Robinson's book Ministry of the Future wounded me.

I think he calls it "what I tell the chef to bring me"

The R base is comfortable with paternalistic cognitive dissonance. Because the Bible says so. God said it's okay. Sorry Christians, your entire religious structure has prepared people for this kind of thinking.

License plate readers were sold as tools for finding stolen cars, but records have shown that they're being used in abortion investigations. States must ban law enforcement from using ALPRs to investigate healthcare decisions and prohibit sharing data across state lines. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Somebody please take away their video editing access. Please. For the sake of all with seizure disorders. Or morals.

6th Circuit Rules Cis Students May Bully Trans Students By Repeatedly Misgendering Them The Circuit also seemed to suggest that trans students could not misgender their bullies in return.

1. In a devastating decision for trans kids in Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and Tennessee, the 6th Circuit has ruled students can bully trans kids by repeatedly misgendering them.

But remember he said Thanksgiving Dinner. Like cat food flavors.

They made people sign an affidavit to get a corrected passport this summer.

No words

What the FUCK.

Ugh that's the worst.

He doesn't even know how to use the word naturally. Or that you don't just buy a Thanksgiving dinner in a bag at the nearest Walmart.

No. I liked Obama. Still do. But he did some really not great things. And his time is done. Give me a fiery presidential candidate under age 55 and not a centrist and I will canvass the heck out of my area.
