"Charity is no substitute for justice withheld." -St. Augustine
Most of the reviews I've read of Stranger Things season 5 complain that the kids don't exhibit emotional growth even though the actors are adults now. Y'all, the military has imprisoned them in Hawkins, their lives are suspended, and their parents are drinking their way through it. Roll with it.

Wow, so smooth [brained].
Q: Officials say the suspect in the DC shooting was vetted & it came up clean

TRUMP: He went cuckoo. He went nuts. There was no vetting

Q: Actually, your DOJ IG says there was thorough vetting of Afghans. So why blame Biden?

TRUMP: You're just asking questions because you're a stupid person

I feel much safer today knowing that we deported a Babson College student back to a country where she hasn't lived since childhood.

She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.

From the MN Society for Professional Journalists: St. Paul police shot three photojournalists (MPR, Reuters, Sahan Journal) with "less lethal" munitions during an ICE operation yesterday. One had to go to the hospital. They say they were specifically targeted by St. Paul police.

Unavoidable conclusion: SCOTUS has put 1 man in America above the law & created a king. Not the first time a case has been decided wrong. The fix for democracy lies, as it did in Dred Scott, with fixing a broken decision. Hopefully this one won’t require a civil war. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/u...

3. We literally let Russia flood us with propaganda designed to undermine American cohesion, because far-right Republicans think it helps them politically. The Tories allowed Russian money to flood UK politics, and in return they committed great-power suicide via Brexit.

Pennsylvania bike shop owners are sounding the alarm. Their healthcare premiums are set to triple. Profit margins are crushed. Every few months another 10% hike. And kids’ bikes jumping from $250 to $400? They fear fewer children will even get a bike this Christmas.

It’s no accident the ladder climbers & fake smart careerist class occupying our government, mass media, boardrooms etc aren’t capable of understanding/responding to what Hansen is theorizing here.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

we have PrEP because of these monkey studies. animal welfare in medical research is extremely strictly limited and regulated to ensure ethical use. there is no replacement for these animal models in biomedical research.
EXCLUSIVE: CDC to end all monkey studies. Decision handed down by recent college grad and former DOGE employee who is now deputy chief of staff at the agency. Animals were being used in studies of HIV prevention. Some may be euthanized. My latest for @science.org
