As someone currently on the slide I can confirm this is true.
Videos of what it feels like the last week of wrapping up your PhD
I love that the Boston cop slide never got fixed and now people just willingly go down it in tribute. It’s basically a national landmark at this point

i would not want to be a member of a party that had any room for nazi/hitler sympathy.
This seems like a bad thing to have. I feel like the entirety of both parties should be anti-Hitler.
But a senior Republican just publicly admitted that’s not true.
That’s … really really bad.

IMO democracy becomes impossible in the absence of any social or political norms against lying.
Kristi Noem: "No American citizens have been arrested or detained. We focus on those who are here illegally. And anything you would hear or report that would be different than that is simply not true and false reporting."

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.
Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

I’m good with my taxes subsidizing social welfare for people who can’t afford food.
I’m enraged with my taxes subsidizing corporate welfare to businesses that won’t pay a living wage.

same method also works for mike johnson apparently.
TIL the technique for placating fish is the same as for placating pigeons / doves / many other birds
They can sometimes be calmed down a bit by inversion, but we find a towel over the eyes works best (technique works on many smaller fishes too!)

The idea that a grown man never thought to Google what his prominent chest tattoo that he probably looked at every day in the mirror actually meant is also not winning my confidence

A president who can tear down 1/3 of the White House can tear down the entire White House. A president who can steal $230M from the treasury can steal $1T from the Treasury. We have both legalized and tolerated Trump’s crimes, so they will only get bigger.

the nypd wants all the money and no accountability. if cops want to quit if Mamdami gets elected i say let them.
the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.
Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

after reading a ton of trial reports, whether a study is industry funded versus academic can almost perfectly predict whether there is a CONSORT diagram....which i think is weird.

I am reading a trial in a certain journal and it just absolutely floors me that the methods come AFTER the references and a full list of all the very important trial authors. WTH?
