I didn't know that the reality or unreality of munchies was a question.

the only place this should happen is academic conferences

Good Thursday morning, friends!!

Enjoy this giggle! Especially if you were an 80s kid who enjoyed cartoons. Which I definitely was a fan of!!

Have a day, y'all, stay dry!!

Just bought my annual half-a-dozen boxes from Troop 6000.

New York’s Girl Scout Troop 6000 is a first-of-its-kind program designed to serve families living in temporary housing in the New York City shelter system.

Failure to vaccinate your children really should constitute child abuse, just as failing to feed them is.

Kreepy Karla Kunningham must go.

We need to be planning now to powerfully resist *massive* election interference in November, because it has surely occurred to trump that if GOPers lose control of Congress he's in store for the Prince Andrew treatment.

Not merely impeachment, but life in prison w/o possibility of parole

I keep wondering if this was his plan all along, or if his brain trauma changed him.

One of mankind's most remarkable achievements ever. I'm a firm opponent of hairbrained schemes to "occupy Mars" with human settlers (hey, you first, Elon, and take Bezos with you and don't come back). But we can and should send ever more amazingly capable robots like Percy there.

The Baptiste Group, seeking to manage a kiddy concentration camp for ICE in Greensboro NC, applied for an NC business license 4 days before Trump's 2nd inauguration. According to NC SoS records it is owned by Kevin J Baptiste of McDonough, GA, and his wife Gretchen is also an employee.

OK I've just spent the last half-hour trying to get the king-size comforter neatly back inside the duvet cover, and I have some thoughts on the subject.

My guess? The same thing that always happens when ICE breaks the law: nothing.

Greensboro Responds to Potential ICE Detention Plans Recently released documents include a proposal to use the site of the former American Hebrew Academy to detain immigrants.

I wish I could claim to be erudite enough to have intended the Low German connection. I just used it as the past tense of 'shit,' of which few people are still aware (except perhaps readers of John Barth's The Sot-weed Factor). The erudition is entirely yours. Thanks!

According to govt records, The Baptiste Group, LLC, which seeks to manage a kiddy concentration camp in Greensboro NC for ICE, has since 2019 raked in $17M in awards from the US govt to provide "residential shelter services for unaccompanied alien children." taggs.hhs.gov/Detail/Recip...

As far as I can tell, I am the originator of the terms "shatbot" and "kleptocurrency."

The Baptiste Group LLC - the company trying to sell the old American Hebrew Academy buildings in Greensboro to ICE for a kiddy concentration camp, is headquartered at 1510 Pennsylvania Ave, McDonough, GA 30253, and its main phone number is (800) 619-7450.

The AI industry's increasingly desperate efforts to persuade us all to use shatbots has real "9 out of 10 doctors smoke Camels!" energy.

I think sometimes folks on the left forget that the most successful progressive leader in American history was a Baptist minister who used Christian faith to argue for racial and economic justice.

Don’t buy into right wing framing that they have a lock on faith.

Tell that to Rev. M.L. King, Rev. Jesse Jackson, Rev. WJ Barber, Rev. Andrew Young, Rev. Ralph Abernathy, Rev. Pauli Murray, Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, Rabbi Milton Grafman, Rev. Daniel Berrigan, Rev. William Sloane Coffin Jr, Rev. A.J. Muste, Rev. Dietrich Bonhoeffer & Monsignor Hugh O'Flaherty.

Uber Taking Steps to Expand Number of EV Chargers Near Its Drivers The company said it would encourage companies that operated chargers to install them in neighborhoods where its drivers lived and work.

Uber said on Wednesday that it would offer incentives to other companies to install electric vehicle chargers in the U.S. and Europe, a potential boost for a part of the car market that has been hurt by recent U.S. policy changes.

Sinking feeling: it will review, then reject.
