And the fact that OU has been cowed into suspending a professor who had the barest of academic standards is TERRIFYING because the theocracy is billowing at an increasingly rapid rate and our collective standards are all at risk.
The future of our leadership for the next generations are at risk.

Feels like Nancy really blew it and betrayed us on this one
I feel like we don’t talk enough about the fact that no heterosexual woman of any age in her right mind would choose ancient stunted and selfish man child Jack Nicholson/Harry over DR KEANU in Something’s Gotta Give

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

Twister was the last DVD I ever rented from Netflix (~2007) and I never returned it and I never watched it. This thought brought to you by the person who just watched Twister for the first time

I can’t believe people in the room don’t push back. It doesn’t matter if he’s the president, part of holding him accountable is standing up to his bullying— especially if he’s doing it right in front of your face

It was fine…got a little iffy towards the end when he was insisting that ADHD is “fake” and only an excuse for bad behavior. I granted him that perhaps it was overdiagnosed and we were off to the races! But I was packing up to leave so didn’t engage so we’re good
The prob with being a small group this year is that one brother hasn’t really been speaking to me since Feb so things are tense when we’re together and with 7 ppl I can’t hide from him

The Trump administration has reacted to a small scale lone wolf attack by in DC announcing a sweeping collective punishment, using the organs of government to heap blame on partisan rivals, and potentially dissuading anyone from collaborating with US forces abroad for a generation.

This administration is entirely lawless. The only thing they care about is getting revenge against anyone they perceive is an enemy and that group is growing larger by the minute

I know the Boy Scouts started admitting girls in 2017. This was after an extended campaign pressuring them to admit trans boys. They decided to admit trans boys and then immediately launched the pilot program designed to admit girls.
It's all connected.
