Learning how to get your shit together at 2 AM so you can write a damn essay good enough to pass in the next six hours is an essential skill with VERY practical application in the real world. Not learning how to do that deprives you later in life.

Sure, why not have Garland injured, too? Let's have a top-six of Pettersson the Forward(tm), Boeser, DeBrusk, uh, Kane, I guess... Sherwood? Okay, Sherwood. And, um, O'Connor? Hoo, boy.

The UCP is a party of ludicrous cowards. This does nothing - nothing - but ostracize a small and vulnerable minority to no end but making them feel alien in their homes. Bullies and cowards. Nothing else.

This legit sucks. The chaos surrounding the

They interrupted a Terry Fox memorial. They regularly mock the existence of Carney's trans child. They have the open support of racists, White supremacists, and accept Christian Nationalism. So go fuck yourself, Ben. Or does that language offend you more than a flag saying the same thing?

This is why the Democrats rejected Johnson's "unanimous vote". If they had accepted, the vote to release would have been anonymous, allowing cowards to tell Trump "hey, it wasn't me! I still love ya, Big Guy!" Going on record burns that bridge, and they know it.

Why are people enraged at the Border Patrol/ICE when "all they're doing is enforcing the law"? Simple. Neighbours matter more than institutions.

When I say "no one wants to work" I mean it. Know how I know? Because equity funds buy businesses that make things, but take work to run, for the purpose of stripping it for parts. They don't want to run the place. They don't want to work, either.

Christianity Today is an influential magazine in Evangelical circles, and it's a noteworthy signpost that they're doing stories like this because it's the kind of story that pops bubbles.

"Public Intellectual" almost never applies to folks with STEM degrees or business people, but to people in the arts or with Humanities degrees. Know why? Humanities degrees are about what it means to be human.
