The guy shot two random people with a gun, I don't think you can say he wasn't assimilating into our culture
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

RIP. If you were in your 20s in the 70s he was a giant. Guys just came to check the heat pump for winter, very young (20s tops). I ask "have you heard of Jimmy Cliff?" They look blank. "Reggae music?" Recognition. I explain this death, and recommend the movie. No doubt I'm a crazy old lady.

Here’s my my pitch for why you care about your state attorney general.
The entire conservative judicial machine *depends* on conservative state attorney generals.
John Roberts can’t take a case asking to destroy voting rights if a state attorney generals doesn’t bring it.

In 2023, Australia recorded a cesarean section rate exceeding 40%. Induction rates also increased, and the perinatal mortality rate also rose to 11 / 1,000. This is a concerning trend. It is time to rethink the high rates of intervention.

Mississippi has historically had a low rate of vaccine-preventable diseases as they were one of the few states that allowed only medical exemptions to vaccination. That changed in 2023, so expect to see more infection and more deaths.
A baby in Mississippi has died of whooping cough for the first time since 2012.
The infant was less than two months old and was not old enough to receive the pertussis vaccine.

Add to this mix the songs about older male/underage female that got airplay back then: The Critters' "Younger Girl," Jefferson Airplane's "Come Up the Years," and the worst of them, Gary Puckett/Union Gap "Young Girl" in which the lyrics actually blame the young woman for being too tempting. 🤮

Yes yes would be so easy!
Self-cleaning public toilets are all over Paris. I asked a few locals what the secret is. Turns out everyone has to pee and poop from time to time, sometimes at inconvenient times, and that public infrastructure should reflect this. Looking forward to sharing this message with people back in Cville!
