I’m laughing so hard right now. My husband and I have been wondering if our Apple HomePod mini was malfunctioning, as music kept starting to play at random times. He set up a low quality video camera, and sure enough, there’s Millie, our little void cat, tapping the top to make music start.

to add to the Jake Paul schadenfreude, Andrew Tate also lost a fight to some reality TV influencer. most analysis of the fight I've read described his opponent as deeply untalented but Andrew lost anyway. Tate's endurance was awful and he was gassed after the first round.

The person charged with enforcing the laws is an open lawbreaker, assisted by a team of open lawbreakers, backed by a Congressional majority indifferent to lawbreaking, supported by a Supreme Court that privileges them to break the law.
It has no legitimacy whatsoever.

The person charged with enforcing the laws is himself a law breaker. In such a state, do laws even have any legitimacy?

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

And for those who do cite fake papers, just think: this is then in your paper forever. Will it be discovered when you're up for tenure or a job? Will your kid find it out when they read your work to see what their parent did all those nights and weekends?
