I HATE Ted Cruz (since I’m a human), but I admit this entire thing seems unfair to him. He was in Europe on vacation with his family well before the floods happened. It’s not really Cancun v2.

The word ‘stan’ comes from the Eminem song "Stan" which is about one of his obsessed fans. What if Eminem named the fan ‘Dennis’? . We could be saying, “I dennis Beyonce.”.

Uh oh.
If we want everyone to be full participants in the economy, we need worker ownership of the means of production.

Some A+ quotes in here. “I’m a global girl. I have almost three university degrees.”. “Everybody loves dying children.”.
I get that committing 7 minutes of your time to a radio interview abt perth local govt beef is a big ask . But I need you all to trust me that this is one of the most fantastic broadcast meltdowns you will ever hear in your life. Clarke & Dawe grade.

I always thought the Epstein conspiracies — including the existence of a “client list” — were mostly bogus. Current admin’s behavior is making me second guess myself, though.

lol.
Do you remember Francesca Gino's claim on her website that HBS analyzed the "wrong data file" in their investigation, and that a "real file" proved her innocence?. HBS is now claiming that the "real file" was fabricated by Gino. and thus that Gino's claim was defamatory.

Brooke Rollins on farm laborers: "There will be no amnesty. The mass deportations continue, but in a strategic way. And we move the workforce toward automation and 100% American participation, which with 34 million able-bodied on Medicaid we should be able to do fairly quickly."

I have seen this exact graph multiple times in the last 24 hours. Does anyone know the exact source of the data?.
There appears to be a Darwinian selection pressure in favour of societies which literally hate women, and it’s not clear how we can fix the problem.

That national weather service that DOGE gutted. They also gutted FEMA. None of DOGE’s work actually focused on cost/benefit. It was only about cost, leading to very beneficial services/agencies/etc getting gutted.
I could not possibly be filled with more rage after seeing Texas Republicans blame the National Weather Service forecast for the unspeakable tragedy that hit the girls camp. You were warned this would happen if you fired everyone!
