would professors be allowed to fail a student who submitted some thoughts they had about biblical teachings for their calculus homework, or would they also be put on administrative leave?

EVERY house we looked at in altadena had a high fire risk, so we looked and bought in Pasadena even though there was less inventory. EVERY house i looked at in Altadena burned in Eaton, four weeks after we closed. Eaton missed our house by five blocks.
the risk rating worked. shame it’s gone.

Lol, Zillow tried to rate the climate risks facing individual properties. The real estate industry *hated* it, precisely because it worked -- it made selling risky properties more difficult. So they rebelled & Zillow caved.
Don't look up!

I think this is part of the dynamic but part of it also is that Hegseth is Not Vance’s Guy and his likely successor is. so some of this is rats and a sinking ship, some of this is oops all viziers.
When a president tries to change a democracy into an authoritarian regime, it's an inherently precarious position.
Trump has been acting as if he had consolidated a hybrid regime, but the truth of the matter is that he hasn't. Now that Republicans smell weakness, they're openly opposing him.

Rep. Mike Turner on the double strike to comply with Hegseth's orders: "If that occurred, that would be very serious and I agree that would be an illegal act…This is completely outside of anything that has been discussed with Congress and there is an ongoing investigation."

Oh no I now get ads for things I actually might want as opposed to the nonstop Cialis and beer ads I get when I watch live sports
Advertising in traditional media like broadcast TV and radio weren’t and still aren’t sold by guzzling every data point possible about your private life.
Keeping that in mind, would you take that trade?

My kids can barely watch live TV because of the number of commercials. Yeah it's annoying that there are like four 30 second ad breaks during The Grinch on Peacock but you don't realize how bad broadcast TV is until you go back for a day.

The president is about to start a war for no real reason. All of the things he has blamed on the country he’s targeting — fentanyl distribution, “emptying the asylums” and sending patients to the U.S., alignment with Tren de Aragua— are provably, obviously false.

I’m sorry but if “delivering food” isn’t the kind of job that robots are allowed to take then what is the point of even inventing robots
Just as you thought food delivery companies couldn't inflict any more misery on society:
Instead of using lowly-paid gig economy contractors to deliver groceries, they're replacing humans with robots, who, in turn, force humans off the pavement into road traffic.

Manifesting Groyper Cleveland out of sheer incompetence.
If Republican vote share in midterms and specials continues to be so closely tied to Trumps approval numbers, this puts them in contention for "worst midterm in American history". If Trump sinks to 31% it practically guarantees it. The current record holder is, of course, Grover Cleveland, at 37.7%.

It is a huge problem to me that sandwiches in the US are both delicious and stupidly expensive.
