No, sir. They’re using “chuck” as a verb. It’s a bad chant. Perhaps we could go yell near Wall Street again? Would you fancy that?

For my first piece back from vacation, I blogged about the people who moved from Texas to Russia to escape gay people and then found out living in Russia kind of sucks:

They left Texas for Russia to escape 'LGBT indoctrination.' Turns out, it sucks.
Their Texas towns had too much "DEI" and "LGBT indoctrination." So they moved to Russia and became influencers.

I spoke to CNN about how demoralizing it was to watch Stanford leadership stay silent while contrarians on campus launched unscientific attacks to stifle Stanford researchers. Now, those attacks have gone nationwide and much of MAHA leadership have ties to Stanford.

It’s evil and unjustifiable, and it’s still no guarantee the USMNT would reach sniffing distance from the group play exit.
Trump has threatened to bomb or invade 7 countries with a shot to play in the 2026 World Cup. He *has* bombed one (Iran) and said he'd deny them visas. He's preparing for war with another (Venezuela). He has summarily executed citizens from at least 3. He has imposed tariffs on nearly all of them.

people who develop political analysis based on the appearance of a person, I've found, are often gorgeous and well-adjusted. But I still don't know how they the find the time alone, away from their family, to work on theory. But everybody has the same 24 hours. another motivation to grind
