🚨BREAKING: Cal State LA just moved classes online and let faculty work remotely, not for a storm, not for COVID, but because ICE is in the area.

AOC: "On this point of tax on tips, as one of the only people in this body who has lived off of tips, I want to tell you a little bit about the scam ... the cap on that is $25,000 while you're jacking up taxes on people who make less than $50,000 across the US ... while kicking them off the ACA."

As a sociologist, here’s my question:
If you want to burn Teslas but not Harry Potter books… ask yourself why.

ppl keep mistaking Jurassic Park for a survival film against dinosaurs when it's actually a survival film against startup culture
Deep in my heart I do not believe that Jurassic Park would pose substantially different or more challenging security issues than any well stocked zoo.
