Evander Holyfield still has an obvious chunk out of his ear 30 years after Tyson bit it, but Trump’s ear had literally no marks on it once that stupid bandage disappeared. Okay.

It’s one thing to encounter this in Texas, which is about the same area as France.

But this sentiment is common and vehemently defended in Rhode Island, which is….not the size of France.

People around here proudly have bumper stickers reading “I never leave Rhode Island,” and they mean it.

It's gotta be the unicorn.

This is the result of treating Higher Ed as job factories.

If college is about readying yourself to contribute to the betterment of humanity, Einstein defeats the purpose.

If it's is a place where you input $200k and the black box spits out a good job, then Einstein is an attractive shortcut.

Can someone explain to me how an EO, which is nothing more than an HR memo to the executive branch, is binding upon banks?

This is the only correct response.

I feel this one in my bones.

I went to a chiropractor a couple of times in HS. The adjustments made my screwed up back feel better for a while. Then one time I was getting adjusted and the guy pointed out that cracking my back a *slightly different* way could cure my asthma.

I noped the fuck out of there and never went back.

I guess my only question is the same as it always is with these right winger "gotcha!" stories: Is he actually this stupid, or does he just think everyone else is?

Let's try this again 👋

Hi Bluesky - I'm Massachusetts' Attorney General. You might know me from suing President Trump nearly 50 times, beating Uber and Lyft in court, or being the first woman of color elected to statewide office in MA.

I officially left X today - help me find my MA people?

"Strategery"

Getting shown up in the arena of elite impunity by *the British monarchy* is an incredible “America at 250!” achievement

They don’t have to be at tens of thousands of precincts. They could swing the Senate and Presidential with far, far less than that.

E.g., Philly, Milwaukee, and Atlanta combined have ~1500 polling locations. Put agents at each of those, and that could be the difference that swings PA, WI, and GA.

The map is a little low-res, so I zoomed in on Wisconsin.

AI music is trash, but I must defend the demo button on a Casio keyboard, which has produced at least one top-10 hit.

"...and that's why I was Jack Kennedy's favorite, kids."

Coumadin (Warfarin) - which is a bog-standard blood thinner that's been used for decades - is also literally rat poison.

My family is like 3 generations removed from actually living in Ireland and I knew the words to most of Makem & The Clancy's "fuck the English" back catalog before I could even vaguely explain what the Troubles were.

Chuck Schumer should have been thrown out of leadership the second he admitted that he makes all of his decisions based on what the imaginary republicans in his head would find acceptable.

Is he the first documented case of "had a stroke, woke up as a Republican?"

I love MA. It's one of the few states I feel safe raising a child in this country these days.

But it's also a lesson in how sclerotic and wasteful a state government can become when one party has had veto-proof majorities in both houses of the legislature for more than 60 years.

Would have had a 5.0 on IMDB but then reviewer #2 checked in.

Wake Forest's motto is "Pro Humanitate," and it absolutely informs the values of the school as taught in the classrooms.

Hegseth's claim that teaching students to work for the betterment of humanity makes them anti-MAGA says more about MAGA than it does about the school.

Made from puppy pelts, I assume.

There’s also a traditional French remedy for this sort of thing.

"Well, he's not interested in her..."

You know, a normal person would say something more along the lines of "She's 17. Are you out of your fucking mind?"

But the fact that the question was worth asking tells us more than the answer, I think.

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

NYC’s small landlords say they won’t survive Mamdani plan to freeze rent New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani has criticized landlords and vowed to freeze what tenants in rent-stabilized apartments pay monthly.

And the entire media ecosystem is built around coddling that same owner class
