If I wanted to make the case that a University is only for credentials I would not pick a professor from the libertarian sex pest department at George Mason who was hired based on that ideology to be a hack.

Idk who needs to hear this but ACAB includes vloggers

hey girl, are you a hantavirus rat? because a more definitive sign of your presence would be particularly comforting

Re: RFK Jr. going after antidepressants: When I reported this, multiple sources mentioned fear about access to medications. This stayed with me: “...To be told you can’t have this essential medicine that keeps you alive...what is that, other than saying, fundamentally, you are unworthy of life?”

If only we had some sort of combat ship designed to operate near coasts that could be used in the current situation.

We also quickly run into the laws of physics and scalability ~140 ships went through the Strait daily before the war. We don't have 280 destroyer escorts for the job

Antidepressants make me capable of being myself again. Take them away and my world crumbles. I can understand that some people want to transition off them and that can bring severe side effects but Kennedy mostly just wants people like me out of society to be replaced by ubermensch like himself.

The idea that education is just about checking off a list of technical skills that you can now outsource to a computer misunderstands both education and how computers work.

Ilya Shapiro is exactly as racist as his least charitable opponents thought

Reminder that Florida voters passed a Constitutional amendment in 2010 banning gerrymandering with 62% of the vote and the Florida GOP just stole the courts and ignored it. By contrast retaliatory gerrymanders in CA and VA passed with the approval of voters. Yet media portrays them as equivalent.

Canada should bring back the Expos

Thomas R. Anderson with a pathetic fluff piece where he all but explicitly calls for a partisan officer corps. Weird how this X piece didn’t disclose that he is a member of the senior service college task force or that Kevin Black will soon be Scheller’s (another TF member) military aide. 🤡

1. ICE has not paid for detainee medical care for 7 MONTHS The termination of payments to providers has coincided with a MASSIVE SPIKE in detainee deaths. This is a health crisis and a moral crisis. Follow along for details. 🧵

Bluesky Date: Do you like it? Me: Yeah, I love Chinese food. It’s great. Bluesky Date: So you hate Japanese food? Me: Wha? Bluesky Date: And Japanese people obviously Mel: That’s not what…. Bluesky Date: Pol Pot did nothing wrong

Will be a big change not spending a couple hours a week with @knowledgefight.bsky.social been listening since near the beginning of things.

Brightline under-reported truth in 3…2…1… The company has not had trouble attracting riders. March was its highest ridership month ever. It’s because it’s saddled with capital debit from building the operation. Debt that is normally assumed by the government for public passenger rail.

the cavs cheerleaders are throwing uncrustables to the crowd during a timeout

The way the outfits here create flashes of blue and white is very mesmerizing.

A friend asks: “Has it occurred to anyone that the MAGAs think you have to show IDs at restaurants because they’ve been eating all their meals at strip clubs? This isn’t even an unreasonable theory”

I've said every New Jerseyan is constantly doing a bit on some level and, well, see Exhibit A

Companies that make bad decisions should be allowed to fail and we should have a robust system that helps employees during the transition to new jobs. Subsidizing poorly run companies as an employment scheme is bad.

I'm having deep thoughts deciding if this is true and if so what sort of Protestant.

I do not have mortal enemies because my hatred is not bound by mortality

Some positions can be worn lightly but a lot of politics gets to fundamental moral views of the world that need to be compatible for a real relationship to work.

Ask which ag program at a land grant university a farmer went to to get at least a basic idea if they are worth listening to. Farming well is as complicated as any advanced manufacturing and it takes a lot of knowledge to do it well.

No, but that is just because I am certain that I am

I've always wondered why things like this were not built in other places. Seems like a thing people would want to brag about. www.atlasobscura.com/places/witle...

The fact that we never did anything to encourage manufacturing of transformers and other critically short basic infrastructure equipment is a major policy failure. Government is good at fixing the boom and bust cycle that has companies worried about investment and should use that power.

War. War never changes …

SIXERS WIN

I'm pretty sure I am a monster and any anger directed my way is well deserved

"To the Plastic Homunculi Family, the battery is more than just life. It's love. It's home. And more. It's not just Aunt Irma's interminable story ending with her face down in egg salad, it's a sunny afternoon without fear, without doubt -- only Duracell."

Had an in person meeting scheduled with an old mentor and got completely ghosted. Really starting to wonder if I am just that unpleasant to be around.

graphcel poasters like me: there is no omnicause that combines us imperialist atrocities abroad with cost of living issues at home; in general american hegemony serves the material interests of the electorate, so . . .

BREAKING: Danco Laboratories, maker of Mifeprex, goes to the Supreme Court, seeking an immediate stay of the Fifth Circuit's Friday mifepristone ruling. Under the Fifth Circuit ruling, FDA's rule that allowed mailing of the medication abortion drug is to be blocked. More to come: www.lawdork.com

the recent @skepchick.org videos about krauss literally emailing jeffrey epstein about her were really the icing on the cake here, all time moments in “my haters are ontologically evil”

Tracey should be the change he wants to see in the world

I know everyone says this about everything but I think you’ll agree: nightmare blunt rotation

Honestly surprised Remarkable had this much staff goodereader.com/blog/remarka...

if you're into this dogpile-Stancil bullshit, please just unfollow and block me right now, before I do it for you. the dude is generally too online but his heart is quite clearly in the right place and if you care more about Internet in-group clout than defeating fascism, fuck the entire hell off.

the sources used and way of talking makes me nearly certain that the primary author of the report is a New Calvinist

This is why the Daily Wire is imploding, their major funder has stopped giving them new money
