Microsoft forcing the copilot button on me and not creating a way to get rid of it has objectively ruined my life.

"compared himself to Joe Manchin"
"I don’t have a problem with anyone being transgender, but I do not believe you should be able to compete in sports with naturally born females"
"I would always be pro-Israel”
Nobody needs this.

I’ve voted 7 times to reopen the government in a way that holds Trump accountable for his lawlessness and prevents a health care crisis.

I’m prepared to work toward a compromise, but this “deal” before us does not come close to meeting those terms. Voting NO.

I don't like whatever the guy who told me "you look like someone who would want to move to an Asian country like Korea or Thailand" was implying.

Hal Rogers will die in office and no one will notice for years

With just one post, Seth Meyers has all the material his team needs to write an incredibly meta Closer Look about how Trump thinks that a segment making fun of him calling speech he doesn't like "treasonous" is "probably illegal."
Trump sets his sights on Seth Meyers.

“NO TALENT, NO RATINGS, 100% ANTI TRUMP, WHICH IS PROBABLY ILLEGAL!!!”

Note: This is me — I asked this question.

You’ll hear me say “yes you have” here — because Johnson was already *directly asked* about one of these instances (when the Presbyterian minister was shot in the head with a pepper ball) in one of earlier shutdown press conferences.
Q: Just last week a minister was shot directly in the face with a pepper round by a DHS agent that left his face bloodied. Are you concerned that this is a religious freedom issue?

MIKE JOHNSON: I can't comment on any of those instances. I haven't seen or heard any of those videos

"The strikes — the deadliest since the ceasefire was enacted on Oct. 10 — marked the most serious challenge to the tenuous truce to date."
How many bodies does it take for the world to admit Israel has never engaged in the ceasefire?
BREAKING: The Israeli military says the ceasefire in Gaza is back in effect after it carried out heavy airstrikes across the Palestinian territory. The death toll from the overnight strikes climbed to 81, according to hospital officials.
Israeli strikes overnight in Gaza kill at least 60 people, including children, local officials say
Israeli strikes overnight in Gaza have killed at least 60 people, including many children. That's according to local hospital officials on Wednesday.

I fucking love it when I get to meet one-on-one with a student and can actually see how much their writing is improving.
Too bad I have 117 students and meeting with every single one of them is literally impossible.
