The decision by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to downgrade its recommendations to protect infants from hepatitis B is a dangerous move that will harm children.

I guess that will make it easier to find him when you need to serve him papers the next time he gets sued.

They're not war crimes because we're not at war.

They're just crimes.

He shouldn't just be fired. He should be arrested and tried.

Did he call in the other med staff to see?

If not, then those are rookie numbers.

Any time I start feeling sorry for the Ole Miss football program, I think "Well, at least we're not North Carolina..."

Invest in index funds like the rest of us who don't have inside knowledge.

'Justice for All Queer Mississippians': Man Pleads Guilty to Murder of Jay Lee, UM Graduate Who Went Missing in 2022 Timothy Herrington, Jr., pleaded guilty to the murder of University of Mississippi student Jimmie β€œJay” Lee.

This evil act damaged our community for far too long. I'm glad Jay's family and friends will finally see justice after too many years.

This is insane. Any material a prof thinks is necessary but isn’t for formal licensing has to get the signoff of the chair, then dean, then provost?

This is an absolutely mockery of academic freedom.

I feel like Texas Tech HAS to lose its accreditation for this, no? It’s preposterous.

Am I the only one who sees this practice as rank hypocrisy?

If you expect the students to take joy and passion in their work, shouldn't the Cal Tech admissions officers take the same level of joy and passion in theirs, rather than pawning it off to a chatbot?

It was an embarassment right up until he started murdering people.

Now it's a tragedy.

Yes, if his Facebook friends interact directly or indirectly with your life or if there's a reasonable liklihood that these comments will make their way to someone who does.

If same person said it to their therapist in session, or their priest in confessional: no.

I think e-commerce always spelled the death of old school Black Friday. The pandemic just hastened things.

And good riddance.

I checked real quick and Google Docs word count had it well over the 650 minumum.

Then I remembered we're talking about an essay grade for an undergrad psych class that I'm not involved with, and I re-evaluated my priorities.

The worst thing to happen to academia was the emergence of a nomadic administrative class like the one in corporations who just move from institution to institution setting fires and walking away.

Say what you will about the flaws of faculty governance, but at least they believe in the mission.

In all my years in and around SEC colleges, I have never seen a fanbase as motivated by spite as Ole Miss fans are right now.

Wait, I take that back, I have seen it one other time: when Kiffin walked out on UTenn after one year.

The man is going to run out of states it's safe for him to travel in.

ICE Offers Up to $280 Million to Immigrant-Tracking β€˜Bounty Hunter’ Firms Immigration and Customs Enforcement lifted a $180 million cap on a proposed immigrant-tracking program while guaranteeing multimillion-dollar payouts for private surveillance firms.

NEW: ICE has torn up its $180M cap on a proposed immigrant-tracking program and is now guaranteeing private surveillance firms at least $7.5M each, with potential payouts reaching $281M per vendor. The change signals a shift from β€œpilot” to full-scale outsourcing of street-level investigative work.

So we're back to "blood for oil" huh?

Just playing all the oldies. If we're going to have a resource war, can't it be for a 21st century resource?

You know, I respect it but I think Phantom Menace gets too much hate. Once you put it after Rise of Skywalker, you lost me.

I would rather watch "Jar-Jar: The Eras Tour" than Rise of Skywalker.

Andor, Clone Wars and the first season of The Mandalorian have just about convinced me that Star Wars is better done as a TV series than movies.

24.11.2025 21:07 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

And Andor is excellent, but would come in third. Clone Wars would come in after Return of the Jedi. Mandalorian would come in around The Force Awakens, along with Rebels and Skeleton Crew. Obi-Wan around Phantom Menace. Boba Fett would be just above Rise of Skywalker.

High school senior, a U.S. citizen, detained by ICE in Oregon The 17-year-old was held more than five hours Friday in an ICE facility, his brother said.

Kavanaugh stop. Smashed the kid’s car windows and arrested him. He told them he was a U.S. citizen. The officer replied β€œI don’t care.”
