I don't know about now (empty for the summer?), but I remember it being quite good.

I was just there and bought Wittgenstein's 'Blue and Brown Books'. Must have just missed you!

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving.

There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later.

They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Probably 'Temple of Doom' seems 'bizarrely out of place in the 1980s' since it was majorly influenced by Fritz Lang's '50's 'Tiger of Eschnapur'/'The Indian Tomb'. Many scenes seem nearly shot for shot. Apparently Lang's silent films ('The Spiders'?) were influential too, but I have not seen them.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Says There Will Be Hell To Pay If Dems Are Arrested For ICE Protest "You lay a finger on Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman or any of the Representatives that were there… we’re going to have a problem," Ocasio-Cortez warned.

Good morning.

Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.

It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

I don’t the magnitude of this corruption has sunk in for most people yet. With a sane legislature you could justify impeachment on this alone.

It occurs to me a bunch of people are about to be new to poverty. I have some advice, if you want it.

1. This will be counterintuitive: Spend it while you've got it. Some money comes in, one way or another? Buy food. Buy tp, soap, shampoo, toothpaste. Socks, underwear. You'll thank yourself.

Seriously: arrest him. The governor should have state police arrest him and charge him with election fraud. Then immediately hold a press conference explaining you arrested someone for committing election fraud and will continue to do so. Just fucking arrest him already. You can actually do this

Michael Friedman has passed away at just 77.

Michael had the sharpest and most comprehensive intellect I've ever known. He was also a good friend.

He spent his final years contemplating Kant's theology and moral philosophy - may he find timeless peace in the ultimate unity of freedom and nature!

This should be read as a regime commitment to systematic First Amendment, Fourth Amendment, and Fifth Amendment violations.

The Army deleted my β€œWhy I served” video where I talked about how I decided I wanted to attend West Point/join the Army after one of the cadets my family used to sponsor died in combat. Probably deleted because she was the first black woman to be CSM at West Point.

Now that's a book! Many details stick with. E.g., after the war, playing rugby with Irishmen in Limerick: "How jovially they jumped on me, and rubbed my face in the mud!"

Hey ElonπŸ‘‹πŸ½ Every single person in this country deserves to know their rights. That's legal.

Maybe you should brush up on our laws given the fact you're breaking them to steal American's sensitive data.

PS. This video is manipulated, and I wasn't even at the event shown.

The Young, Inexperienced Engineers Aiding Elon Musk's Government Takeover Engineers between 19 and 24, most linked to Musk’s companies, are playing a key role as he seizes control of federal infrastructure.

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran.

Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

There will be a protest on SUNDAY Feb. 2 at 3:00 p.m. outside the federal Office of Personnel Management (OPM) bldg., where Musk & his cyber-thugs have seized control of the government's computers. 1900 E Street NW (corner of E and 19th Sts.), Wash. DC. Spread the word to DC area folks!

White House pauses all federal grants, sparking confusion The Trump administration has put a hold on all federal financial grants and loans, affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments.

So is there a scientific organization leading a letter signed by thousands of academics about the broad sweeping impacts of this? Or for doctors re medicine? Or anyone? AAAS? University presidents? AAU? Anything anyone knows about?? #academicsky
