That in itself might not be a bad thing. The problem is we will still be paying 1.5 trillion a year for the military, but it won’t be to project power and create conditions for peace abroad, it will be to incubate fascists at home.
Also a donor and supporter, and don’t love this. First major misstep :( We cannot tax cut our way back from GOP policy failures. It is irresponsible, and it is a page from the right’s own playbook. The future cost of those tax cuts won’t be borne by the oligarchs that put us in this mess.
German politicians on the left, from different parties, in inspiring dialogue. They are so smart and down to earth. It’s a glimpse of a political future that does not suck. Keeping up with them gave the German comprehension part of my brain a real workout. youtu.be/OBOolAvyfwI?...
But it’s not numbers in any intelligent, sense. It’s all reactive culture war nonsense. Our military, for all of its industrial complex bullshit, has been the greatest in the world because it has been this giant, super steady, super funded, masterfully planned bureaucracy. Hegseth is wrecking that.
This is actually the truth of the matter. They need to hit recruitment goals, and they cant afford to turn away the antivaxxers whose brains they have cooked. Gotta compete with ICE now for fresh fashy meat.
It’s hard to tell which they lack more of, ethics or courage. Just the most vile, sycophantic weasels.
For me it’s Kevin Hassett. That smiley balloon head just lies through his teeth, knows his interviewers know he is lying, and just has a great time with it. Bagdad Bob high on nitrous.
“The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail will require software that limits freedom and disables democracy.” Got it.👍
It’s so great when they get to the senate and suddenly learn they are actually Republicans.
For the cost of one Harvard Professor of the Constitution Only Applies to White People, you could endow 10 professorships of any less commonly taught language at any university in the USA
Give UT Austin a few years. Once the new RFK school of phrenology and alchemy complex is complete there might be room for you in the basement.
The 83 year old rep whose looks Gallegos smeared, Rosa DeLauro, looks cool AF. I hope I look that good when I am 80. Fucking weirdos, unhappy with hotness of octogenarians? It seems MAGA brain rot can cross the aisle.
So agree. I have to charge my Garmin every two weeks, and that on top of my headphones, phone and other devices makes me crazy enough. Every two days? Nah.
drop some KITCHENS
I have been playing around with AI a bit. Menial tasks to free up time for higher order teaching priorities. Like formatting tests. The first prompt always seems magical, then when I try to refine and perfect the 1st result, the LLM spits out hot garbage. We invested how much of our economy in this?
Shaggys got game!
My wife and I have degrees from UT and UH. It makes me sad that I can no longer support our schools, in any way, especially with donations. The GOP has thrown our state’s public institutions of higher education in the trash. :(
Texas gubernatorial candidate Gina hinojosa speaks to a full house
Meanwhile, in Houston, gubernatorial candidate Gina Hinojosa is talking about Greg Abbott trafficking people into Texas’s private prisons and detention centers so that his donors will profit, and I really appreciate her for it.
Should have gone with Cratey McCraterface
We can oust our creeps too, y’all.
I don’t want emulate it, but I would take Jeb Bush over Trump every day and twice on Sunday and if it happened today I would celebrate.
Man these people have completely lost the plot.
They have an astonishing capacity to make all their actively catastrophic policy failures somehow relate back to their standing policy failures.
Houston Art Car Parade - so fun.
Same. This is the only show in years, as far back as I can remember, for which I have an awareness of the weekly drop day and time.
You could have just said feels like Houston. Welcome to the party.
I stayed up way too late playing Dune:Imperium last night and still crushed my 45 min classroom observation. I AM THE KWISATZ HADERACH!
I think it’s time for me to quit AFT. We don’t even have collective bargaining or the right to strike in Texas, and now AFT is an outright lobbying arm for AI. What is the even the point. I can get cheaper legal services elsewhere.
Pete Hegseth, heresy cannon
This is our Kirby. Try to game out potential permutations. Kirby also gets called Kirblet, Kirbles, Shmirbs, Shmirblet, the Kirbs and Kirbletron.
