Every US Government agency that helps prevent death has been decimated and that's upsetting to me because death is something I am generally against.

It's wild that Trump has completely disowned the one good thing accomplished during his first term in office.
EXCLUSIVE: The Trump administration will move to pull the COVID vaccine off the U.S. market “within months,” one of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s closest associates has told the Daily Beast.
Trump and RFK Jr. to Ban Covid-19 Vaccine ‘Within Months’
A close associate of the HHS secretary claims the U.S. government will soon pull COVID-19 mRNA jabs from the market.

That feeling when someone who irritated you for no reason proves you were right to dislike them.

We're definitely entering an era where the Internet is so hollowed out, so untrustworthy and compromised, that real world interactions, things identifiably done by human beings, will take on greater value and purpose.

There are no words strong enough for how much I DETEST the artificial umm-ing and voice inflection of the AI customer service bots. It's like being forced to make an appointment with the exact kind of audible book readers I avoid.

I'm starting to really see how often I use "was" in my writing. It's so bad to do, and I find when I fix a sentence by taking the was out, the sentence gets immensely better. One chapter I revised had it 60 times. From me, another new writer, to you. Limit that word to a minimum #writingcommunity

PragerU's Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad History
The outfit that's making historical content for Trump's White House and America's youth has a history of doing history that has a fairly loose relationship with the truth

It’s crazy to me that the people who have to cheat to win never reflect on what it means that their ideas are so wildly unpopular that they have to cheat to win.
We should have the House right now. Let me say it again: we should have the House.

This ain’t just a Texas problem, it’s a national problem. They’re stealing seats to keep power, and that’s how we ended up with Speaker Johnson instead of Speaker Jeffries.

They can’t win fair, so they cheat.

Such an important point:

“Progressive policies…are very popular in this country…but you have a segment of the Democratic Party that keeps trying to convince progressives we’re losing elections because their policies need to be more moderate.” Matt Dowd

I wish more understood this.

A confession…

A guy whose fraudulent university was shut down is telling the Ivy League what to do.

A guy whose businesses went bankrupt multiple times is telling the Fed what to do.

A guy whose best friend was a child sex trafficker is telling the DOJ what to do.

That it’s all the same guy is pretty wild.

Today's IndyStar piece from Jacob Stewart about degree cuts at IU makes some surprising arguments. He just may not know he's making these surprising arguments.

It would be a better investment for the state to support conservative faculty, programs and research instead of trying to attack wokeness on campus.
