Scarfolk was published as a book and website. I believe that we need a new American "Scarfolk," a website that "freezes" America just before the current administration. It was a halcyon time, when America was indeed great.

Littler, a designer and screenwriter, created Scarfolk as a fictional representation of his memories of 1970s suburban Britain, translating those memories into a haunting and humorous blog and book.

"Scarfolk" is a nonexistent town in England in which time stopped in the 1970s. It springs from the imagination of a brilliant designer, Richard Littler.

New Oklahoma curriculum includes pro-Trump conspiracy theories Beginning in the 2025-26 school year, thousands of high school students in Oklahoma will be required to learn about President Trump's debunked claims that the 2020 election was tainted by fraud.

Oklahoma goes "all in" on election denial. God, guns, and Donald Trump. Could this be actionable in the courts? If so, we have to relitigate election denial, AGAIN.

Lutnick: "It's time to train people not to do the jobs of the past, but to do the great jobs of the future. This is the new model where you work in these kinds of plants for the rest of your life and your kids work here and your grandkids work here. We let the auto plants go overseas."

More and more, we are seeing that Elon Musk is unreliable, not as smart as he claims, and a very poor administrator and CEO. Is it wise to allow so many Federal contracts to remain under his oversight? Doesn't management stability play a role in Federal contracting criteria? Answer: Yes, it does.

Authoritarian attitudes linked to altered brain anatomy, neuroscientists reveal Neuroscientists have uncovered distinct brain structure patterns linked to authoritarian beliefs on both sides of the political spectrum.

Interresting takeaway: there are similarities in brain structure between right wing authoritarian individuals and leftwing radical feminists. Weird.
