Folks are rationing heat and scrambling to eat with healthcare costs set to explode.

But this man wants $230 million for his pain and suffering.

Mass intoxication first requires small, private capitulations. The force of the group substitutes for the weakness of the individual.

Thank you, Memory Studies Association, for a great conference. Met lots of smart people, learned a great deal, and had some Kafka-esque moments along the way. #MSAPrague2025

MAGA blames woke libs for “toxic indoctrination” of youth.

But really it’s a kind of self-poisoning.

Where is the poison coming from, MAGA?
