Setting aside that USAID is a tool for US soft power, yes, she very likely would have cut USAID.

Trump's accelerated the US economy's disintegration, but it was already in motion. Soft power is reduced, and as soft power collapses abroad, imperialist violence returns to the metropole.

As you know, VPs don't decide policies, so please don't spread misinformation. The genocide never stopped, you simply weren't informed.
You did not respond to the question: would Harris cancel USAID? Was Harris in the files? Would she place a 3k a day deportation quota? Would she ambush Zelensky?😌🤷‍♂️

Chemist Stephanie Kwolek invented Kevlar in 1965. Kevlar, a lightweight, heat-resistant fiber 5X stronger than steel, is best known for its use in bulletproof vests & body armor. #WomenInSTEM

It's #NationalInventorsDay!

Fun color photograph of pioneering American chemist Stephanie Kwolek (1923–2014), the inventor of Kevlar, taken in her later years. She is indoors in what appears to be a home or lab setting with soft lighting and kitchen-like background elements. Kwolek, an older woman with short gray hair, wears large round eyeglasses, a light plaid blouse or dress with a white collar, and holds up a bright yellow circular button that reads "ASK ME ABOUT KEVLAR" in bold black lettering. On her hands she wears thick yellow Kevlar protective gloves (the very material she invented), one glove prominently displayed in the foreground as she grips the button. Her expression is gentle, proud, and welcoming, with a slight smile, embodying her lifelong dedication to science, safety, and innovation as she invites conversation about her groundbreaking discovery that revolutionized bullet-resistant vests, tires, helmets, and countless other applications.#StephanieKwolek #Kevlar #WomenInScience #Chemistry #Inventor

I can vouch for these candles! They work great even if you don't share my deep and abiding love for setting things on fire.

Oh I'm just avoiding saying the words for 🎨🖌️ to keep the usual scammers at bay haha

I have styles and settings in mind! Usually modern, but you're right, gotta keep setting and themes cohesive!

She's setting herself up to be sternly disbarred as soon as Trump can no longer protect her. Contempt of congress should be issued against her as well.

And just like her boss, Donald Dump has said, somebody ought to punch her in the face.

The image shows a colorful, hand-drawn artwork of mushrooms in a surreal, fantasy-like setting. The mushrooms are depicted with elongated stems and rounded caps, mainly in shades of yellow and orange. Some of the mushrooms have small, spherical structures on their caps that resemble spores or decorative elements. The background shows a blue sky with bright yellow dots that may represent stars or snowflakes, as well as abstract, wavy blue shapes that could symbolize water or clouds. The foreground contains orange, flame-like shapes that add a dynamic element to the composition. In the upper right corner are small red mushrooms with white spots, drawn in a cartoonish style. The overall composition is lively and imaginative.

Now, in my setting, having more abilities (being at 50%, for instance) doesn't necessarily make you stronger than someone with fewer (say an octant at 12.5%). That octant might have a hella powerful ability which they use masterfully. But the half-Spirit might have multiple abilities that synergize.

And he's been setting it up the whole time. His entire framing has been about whether or not these rabble-rousers should be allowed to cause trouble. It hasn't been about the actual question of whether the officer was struck and whether it was on purpose.

felt like dressing up in my gay little outfit again, indulge me or whatever

thinking about maybe doing onlyfans...
An aging twink dressed up in ralseis flowy green robe with matching witch hat and a pink scarf with striped arm warmers flashes the peace sign while looking at the camera in front of a bunch of posters and plushies in the background the same demiboy from before leaned back with their elbow rested up on their knee like a souls character resting at the bonfire, with the brim of their hat pulled down so you can't see their face, their robes are pulled back and they're holding their erect penis enticingly, it's about 8 inches long and stands out from being well lit against the mostly shadowy backdrop of their robes they're on their knees facing perpendicular to the camera, their mint green robes pulled up and slightly draped over their penis which droops down slightly from its own weight and from not being 100% hard as they're also distracted with setting up and retrying shots, you can't see their eyes under the brim of their hat but you can see the lower portion of their face A final shot with them using the blacklight that their bathroom (for some reason) came with to take a shot in highly contrasted bisexual lighting, with the blacklight making the image very heavily blue but also brightly reflecting off the white shower curtains behind them, and highlighting their bright pink arm warmer especially, they again have their robes pulled up around them to reveal their penis, more fully hard this time, making a distinct silhouette against the bright white shower curtain, their face is somewhat obscured by the hat and their glasses but you can see a suggestive smirk on their face as they again flash the peace sign

Texas: coroner rules unlawful killing in the case of a #MAGA dad who fatally shot his own daughter following an argument over Trump; local redneck police never charged the man, who claimed the gun went off accidentally. {The Guardian 11 February; photo: PA} www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...
A portrait photograph of Lucy Harrison, shown smiling warmly at an outdoor café setting. She faces the camera directly, her long blonde hair falling loosely over her shoulders, sunglasses resting atop her head. Her expression is relaxed and open, conveying ease and approachability. Behind her, softly out of focus, are sunlit buildings, café tables, and passers-by, suggesting a Mediterranean or holiday environment. In the upper corner of the image appears the crest of Cheshire Constabulary, indicating the photograph’s use in a police or press context. The composition is informal and candid in tone, capturing a moment of everyday contentment later juxtaposed with the gravity of the circumstances in which the image was circulated.

Online Selective Conformal Prediction with Asymmetric Rules: A Permutation Test Approach
By Zheng, Jin
Selective conformal prediction aims to construct prediction sets with valid coverage for a test unit conditional on it being selected by a data-driven mechanism. While existing methods in the offline setting handle any selection mechanism that is permutation invariant to the labeled data, their extension to the online setting -- where data arrives sequentially and later decisions depend on earlier ones -- is challenged by the fact that the selection mechanism is naturally asymmetric. As such, existing methods only address a limited collection of selection mechanisms. In this paper, we propose PErmutation-based Mondrian Conformal Inference (PEMI), a general permutation-based framework for selective conformal prediction with arbitrary asymmetric selection rules. Motivated by full and Mondrian conformal prediction, PEMI identifies all permutations of the observed data (or a Monte-Carlo subset thereof) that lead to the same selection event, and calibrates a prediction set using conformity scores over this selection-preserving reference set. Under standard exchangeability conditions, our prediction sets achieve finite-sample exact selection-conditional coverage for any asymmetric selection mechanism and any prediction model. PEMI naturally incorporates additional offline labeled data, extends to selection mechanisms with multiple test samples, and achieves FCR control with fine-grained selection taxonomies. We further work out several efficient instantiations for commonly-used online selection rules, including covariate-based rules, conformal p/e-values-based procedures, and selection based on earlier outcomes. Finally, we demonstrate the efficacy of our methods across various selection rules on a real drug discovery dataset and investigate their performance via simulations.

I saw the author (I apologize, I don't remember their pronouns or username to look them up) post about it as it was happening. They used the labeler to auto-hide a few accounts from everyone using the labeler by putting them on a barely-used label and setting default to hide.
