Alas, I'm toning down my profanity in every-day conversation (and the classroom). That said, I cannot resist reminding you all of this seasonal tradition. "It's Decorative Gourd Season, Motherfuckers." www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/its...

Oyer: "2 days after Blanche was confirmed as deputy AG, he fired me from my position as DOJ's career pardon attorney. I declined to rubber stamp a favor for a friend of the president, and it cost me my job. Mr Blanche's office had asked me to restore the gun rights of a convicted domestic abuser..."

One thing that seems missing from the sports "debate" is that student athletics are not meant to be training for professional athletes, but for health and social reasons. The only "fairness" govt should protect is everyone having access, not about subsidies for preferred athletes.

What Ivanka & Jared are doing is worse than I thought they are destroying natural wetlands of Albania. The corruption is unpalatable. Ariel Brunner is fighting them tooth & nail and boy oh boy is he angry. As he should be. Ariel Brunner is Europe & Central Asia Director of BirdLife International.

BREAKING: The judge in the $1.7B slush fund suit has dismissed the case, but she says THERE IS NO SETTLEMENT OF RECORD. As I said earlier, the media must stop reporting that this slush fund is a settlement. It's just plain THEFT. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The headline says so much... The article outlines so much more. It's a history everyone will benefit by knowing
Louisiana GOP is obviously & severely harming the public by nullifying the election of Calvin Duncan but also my jaw dropped, when researching, seeing how much Governor Jeff Landry and Attorney General Liz Murrill are like 'fuck this one Black man in particular' ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

Now any white man promoted has to be considered suspect because he may well have taken the place of a more qualified black or female officer personally removed from the promotion list by Hegseth.
NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has taken steps to block or delay promotions for more than a dozen Black and female senior officers across all four branches of the military, according to nine U.S. officials familiar with the process.

And lots of times when two people disagree, both of them are wrong (though one is perhaps less wrong), and the truth lies considerably further out on the ideological spectrum than most people involved in the discourse have yet managed to imagine.
“The truth always lies somewhere in the middle” has to be one of my least favorite phrases. Sometimes, one side is actually truthful and one side is actually malicious and lying!

If this person who burned a synagogue had cited the Quran in defending their antisemitic attack, we'd be reading dozens of news stories about Islamic extremism. Since he cited the Book of Revelation, the media really needs to connect this to extremist forms of white Christianity.
The FBI says that a suspect in the arson fire at the Beth Israel Congregation in Jackson, Mississippi, admitted to targeting the institution because of its “Jewish ties.” Court documents say 19-year-old Stephen Spencer Pittman called the historic house of worship "a synagogue of Satan."
