I'm sorry, every WSJ writer, but there's no medical reason your dickhead child is such a moron. You can sit their dumb ass down for 60, 90, 120 minutes or whatever they're still gonna do bad on that test because they have a simpering toadie loser for a role model.

Either you understand that there is an organized campaign to push trans people out of public life with the explicit end goal of "morally mandating us out of existence" that is backed by some of the wealthiest individuals to have ever lived, or you're simply not equipped to grasp what's happening.

The folks at @afghanevac.bsky.social have in hand a new USCIS directive which largely targets Afghan refugees who fled the Taliban in the wake of the U.S. withdrawal in 2021.

All of healthtech, hundreds of billions of dollars, bundled up in making AI chatbots to misinterpret charts, or clunky apps for wearables that'll end up in a landfill in three years — wasted. A hundredth as effective as a Ford Transit with two PAs and a blood pressure cuff.

Global demand for fossil fuels is falling, so one of two things is going to happen: oil companies' revenue goes down or the cost of energy goes up. Do you have any doubt as to which one our government will choose?
