The band may be a small dream, but it’s the only one I’ve got.

I’m outtie 5000.

This is my favorite gag in Columbo.

So it’s the same universe as Idiocracy…

you are implying that FIRE doesn’t advocate against banning SJP and schools having “don’t say gay” policies (which don’t apply to universities anyway), when they clearly, consistently and emphatically do.

You are not being honest.

What’s questionable about the methodology?

I am talking about the specifics of the survey that @colsunderground.bsky.social posted and nothing else. I don’t know or care about whatever these podcasters think the founder’s motivations are or what they think of his book. It’s totally irrelevant to the post.

I read the transcript. It doesn’t mention the methodology for campus free speech at all.

They didn’t adopt the policy.

“FIRE wrote to FIU and four other public universities in Florida on October 25, explaining that [the SJP material] does not constitute material support for Hamas’s terrorist activity overseas and that derecognizing SJP chapters unlawfully threatens students’ expressive rights.”

We went to Spain and had to stop in a pharmacy for allergy medication.

It was beauty in simplicity, since there wasn’t a bunch of BS quackery or junk food out on display shelves—just a counter and someone who’d go get what you needed from a drawer behind the counter.

Why Are Federal Agents Wearing Masks? It’s a Threat to American Democracy Masked Federal Agents Are Undermining Trust—and Democracy

If you need a mask to enforce the law, you don’t deserve a badge.
Federal agents are snatching people off the streets—faces covered, names hidden.
This isn’t safety. It’s secrecy.
It’s not America.

Yes, you did vote to deport moms.

Did you tell him who does the cooking, in an effort to—at long last—quiet him down?

They All Signed the “Harper’s” Letter. Where Are They Now? Many of those who were loudest in denouncing cancel culture then are now curiously silent in the face of Donald Trump’s assaults on free speech.

Nation’s Urban and Rural Populations Shift Following 2020 Census The nation's urban population increased by 6.4% between 2010 and 2020 based on 2020 Census data and a change in the way urban areas are defined.

This article seems to have a major mistake or unclear language.

“Census data shows that more than 85% of the United States remains rural.”

The census reports that 80% of Americans live in *urban* areas.
