This means that for one reason or another, the majority of humans on the planet have a reason to eat fried food, and that is beautiful.

I say this with much regret during Black History Month:
Every skeleton in this man's closet needs to be yanked out. He needs to understand that aligning with fascists to kneecap a Democratic candidate and push antiblack policies is not worth the money they are offering.

Hey so this is important. Amazon is removing ALL erotica and new queer books from its Amazon associates program, which seems to be a first step towards delisting these books a la itchio.
This includes my book, your books, and the books you like to buy.
This is bad news, and we can expect worse

The denial of tenure was never about scholarship. It was a retaliatory move from @texastechlib.bsky.social to send a chilling message: dissent that threatens institutional power will be punished. Shame on Ron Hendrick, Brendon Creighton, Lawrence Schovanec turned tenure into a political tool!
I received over 90% of the votes at the department and college levels, yet the provost denied me tenure. I met and exceeded the promotion and tenure guidelines and expectations as well as my annual and mid-tenure reviews.

ICE doesn't ever "leave" any state. There will continue to be ICE and CBP enforcement actions as there were during previous presidents. Hillary Clinton was saying this in her remarks. She doesn't like the visible violence but she is fine with "regular" violence.
