This is, oddly, true. Jefferson's Manual (Section 370), which governs House parliamentary procedure, explicitly rules out language that is "personally offensive" to the President or Vice President. Chairs of committees frequently remind members of this rule during contentious hearings

Pels traded Jose for Temu Tony Allen

Don't know if anyone can help with this (maybe @allenk81.bsky.social ?) but from a friend in New Orleans: "They’re taking the papers of Hispanic mothers and babies (whose husbands/fathers are here legally but now detained) and their IDs so they can’t even get food and baby supplies at food banks" /1

Learning #stats like: 1) Omg this looks too complicated I‘ll never understand this. I feel dumb. 2) Okay using some maths I can derive this result and it kinda makes sense. I feel smart. 3) The thing I just understood is trivial. I feel dumb.

Yeah that punt might be the game there

Feels like Indiana just doesn't have it.

Here is a video of a frozen creek that had begun to thaw, and the water was flowing beneath the thin ice on top. I took this because it was soothing and wonderfully bloopy and I wanted to listen to it for hours. You are all welcome to enjoy it, too. Let your brain settle here and rest for a moment.

Respectfully, ​"Collectivism" isn't a synonym for community. It's a technical term for a system that absorbs the individual into the State. The Church has condemned it for 130 years starting long before the Cold War, because it inevitably violates human dignity. The Mayor chose a loaded word.

the baby (17 months) raised both her hands and said “WEADY?” so I said “ready!” and then she slapped me in the face

Eli's list of Manningcast guests is everyone who intercepted Peyton when he was a rookie

Looks like it's still paper too

Dr. Davies was more right than not back in 2016

My non-cynical take is that the GOP had a credible commitment to end SNAP, the ACA in total, increasing RIFs, etc., and the Dems only option other than to let people suffer was to choose who would fall on the sword.

No matter how cynical you are, you aren't cynical enough

Still need more baseball? We found a CD in our archives containing dozens of unused voice lines from MLB Slugfest 20-03 rejected by the MLB. Here's some of our favorites.

They, uh, they definitely already stole this money, didn't they

George Retes on His 3 Day ICE Detention

I hate Ja Morant almost as much as Bill Vinovich

I kinda get the feeling that Trump is going to tear down the entire White House

Someone in the crowd: “Go Cubs!” Pope Leo XIV: “Han perdido! They lost!”

Hard to explain to my kids about the distinct lack of insects in the environment now

Charlie Browns mom: Waaah wah wah wah waaah waaah waaah wah Charlie Brown: oh, you mean pigpen Charlie browns mom: Wah way. Waaaah wahwahwah wah wah waaah waaaah wahwhawah wah wah Charlie Brown: yeah I get that. It’s pretty bad over there but I don’t think they hit him

Noticing all the great Khan pritzker stuff has stopped now that his state police is beating protesters

With Pete Davidson getting a big check to do the Riyadh Comedy Festival, the Saudis are finally paying reparations for 9/11. And jokes like that aren’t allowed at the Riyadh Comedy Festival.

Bsky gloats about Milei, but if you read about it, it is more subtle and not quite what people here think. His reforms require commitment and seemed to be working. He has the commitment, but voters don't and the likely outcome is another failed attempt to reform out of Argentina's permanent crisis

An abomination

I’m more of a free markets guy than a capitalism guy, but I suspect much of this shift is due to the unfortunate and incorrect association of both with Trump. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

To be clear here: we are seeing moderate inflation and interest rates, a tech led boom with tight labor markets, and high debt levels. We've crammed all the worst parts of stagflation, the dot-com bubble, and the pre-great recession periods into one.

Feel I need to re-up this based on recent events. No one is quicker to deny believing in certain dogma than Catholic posters in order to maintain some level of sophistication in the eyes of everyone else on here.

I'm furious at the people in this admin and within its surrounding movements for besmirching the name and work of St. Thomas. Not sure "Aquinas integralism" is a thing outside this dude though.

I am currently reading Walter Ong’s Orality and Literacy, first published 43 years ago, and it’s giving me more insight into the a-literate [sic] mind of Donald Trump and current American culture than anything I’ve read in a very long time. Perhaps ever. The resonances and parallels are striking.

David Schmitz once said he used to believe most mistakes in political philosophy were due to Rousseau. I'm in the camp of most mistakes are due to Bentham and Levy.

If we ever get to the other side of this people like this dude are gonna need to stand trial and be sent to the stockades

yes there’s highlights

ichiro threw a complete game one-hit shutout against a team of japanese high school girls yesterday. he gets a team of japanese ex-mlb players (dice-k, hideki matsui, etc) and throws a complete game in an exhibition hs girls all stars every couple years in japan.

This is good. My own main request on 'beyond GDP' debates is that people not advocate naively to replace one one-dimensional measure, that could never contain all the info desired but not designed for, with another. We have *lots* of non-GDP measures, including 230+ SDG indicators to start with.

One of the interesting things about Catholic poasters is that you get the feeling that no one else would want their religion/denomination to be a different religion/denomination more than them

Alright but drinking is bad for you so stopped clock and all that

Well yeah it's pernicious because the US doesn't have any state owned enterprises.

Wrt the equity stuff, subsidies provide no direct benefits to anyone in the admin which is strictly against the ethos of this whole thing. These golden stakes provide increased market share for domestic producers and market manipulation for Trump et al.

The chief law enforcement officer is, of course, the attorney general

And yet it is an iconic moment

Ok folks: what is your favorite fact that you share with people (maybe a bit too) eagerly?

Incredible video

The White House is mobilizing red state military forces to occupy a Democratic stronghold and let me tell you: No one has ever pretended something isn't happening harder than Democratic leaders are pretending this isn't happening right now.

We get it, you vape
