Here’s the 5th Circuit’s opinion openly and directly defying an on-point Supreme Court precedent that prohibits the display of the 10 Commandments in public school classrooms.
Shameless defiance of SCOTUS, but we’ll see if the supermajority cares. txvalues.org/wp-content/u...
I feel about gerrymandering the same way good doctors feel about snake-oil salesmen - a blight on my profession - but yeah, I agree with VA's aims here and hope it leads to a national ban. At-large representation or grouping up counties or anything's better than a gerrymander.
THAT'S RIGHT REPUBLICANS
GREEK CAPTAIN OF A PANAMANIAN-FLAGGED MALAYSIAN OIL TANKER EN ROUTE TO AUSTRALIA WITH IRAQI CRUDE: "So is the Strait open or not?"
IRGC COMMANDER, REFRESHING TRUTH SOCIAL: "Look here man, I know just as much as you do, ok?"
I audibly Whatted, Matt. In the office and everything. I mean, I've seen worse, but boy, that's a thing.
speaking of sqlite, ever read their code of ethics? sqlite.org/codeofethics...
this is an incredibly sketchy story and so far all the people involved in breaking / spreading it are deeply unreliable sources
That's hard work, what are you paying him? :P
the cucumber from Veggie Tales along with the following text: "Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you. Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourself in the day of slaughter. -- James 5:1-5"
Mood after winning my 6th Webby Award and never losing a nomination.
love to see who thinks politics is about unilateral disarmament and who thinks it's about winning
Soup without a texture
Damn soup has no texture
I'm ashamed of our country.
this admin? yes. this is the work of twisted craven men.
but the whole country. for decades, we simply didn't care enough. collectively. caring about the destruction we left in our wake, was simply too much of a bother
Sad and ashamed.

but when people point out it's wrong the people spreading the misinfo are just like "but even 1 is too many". ok so then why are you saying it's 62 million if 1000 i just as bad
flipping through a proof of yet another book from a somewhat well known liberal voice diagnosing “where the left went wrong” and i’m struck, again, by the fact that a large part (if not most) of the liberal commentariat simply does not believe that the political right has agency.
Sec. Hegseth: "Sure, 2/3 of Civil War soldiers died from disease rather than combat, but they were just the weak ones anyway."
I need to set that as my company name in Roadcraft. Not an exact match to rebuilding roads, but bridges? pipelines? close enough
Passed a work van for a disaster recovery company earlier, it was covered in patriotic themed graphics.
Semper Dry Water Removal
I can only imagine that whoever started that had that on their mind every day for at least 18 months prior to signing their DD214
Since 1970, much of what's new, cool, interesting & challenging everywhere has been touched by a nice guy from Michigan - taught my friend's mother to drive, women adore him, one of our best cultural critics, etc. He also has a pal called Iggy...
A couple of years back I was writing a scene where someone on an early 18th century ship was lighting a storm lantern, and I had to stop mid-paragraph because I had NO IDEA how they would do that, and spent a couple of hours learning about the invention of matches, which did not exist then.
In the Civil War, "Roughly 500,000 soldiers perished from diseases such as diarrhea, dysentery, and typhoid, which killed twice as many men as battle wounds. Roughly 250,000 died from battle wounds or accidents."
Disease prevention is absolutely vital to war-fighting capability.
As a mentally ill person, one thing the mentally ill community needs to get better about is realizing that just because something is a symptom of *your* mental illness doesn't mean that people with a different mental illness or even people without one can't suffer some of the same symptoms.
I disagree here, the problem is not the dinner, it is Trump.
The WH Correspondents Dinner, as actually practiced, is a sort of humiliation-of-the-powerful ritual common and valuable in republics since antiquity.
That Trump is incapable of doing this is yet another signal of his unfitness to lead.
impossible to overstate how poisonous this shit is. dudes on the street smiling and waving at your toddler are an indicator of a happy and functional community
It definitely provided material benefit, it was essential to finish multiple puzzles.
I guess that's kind of Blue MAGA in a nutshell, right? Some are totally fine with far-right policy as long as Democrats are the ones making it happen.
it’s so funny that the drunk tv host in charge of the military is like “real warriors don’t need vaccines” when all the greatest generals in history would have done anything for a jab that kept their armies safe from disease
Ms Milan knows this world from the inside. She’s not some law prof sucking up to Trump hoping for a federal judgeship. She has been in the room.
Thread.
surely no army in military history has ever been laid low by disease, a famously uncommon problem among people living in enforced close quarters
