Alas, one can present facts and back them up with wager stakes $$ - even offer to test ocean acidification in person - It won't pierce layers of incantations. Sometimes a visual meme can.

Biden to sign order promoting tribal self-determination https://www.ktoo.org/2023/12/06/biden-to-sign-order-promoting-tribal-self-determination/

I've long been underheight as well.

I’m a bit annoyed. Got on the bus today (Friday) and the bus driver said “I tested positive for Covid on Tuesday, that’s why I’ve got my mask”
he was not wearing a mask, it was under his chin.
I was too gobsmacked to respond appropriately except for saying how things like Covid affects people differently, and for some it’s really bad.
Yes he agreed, his wife had it really bad but he’s just got this cough.

We really need to get better at dealing with this disease.

I’m hoping my mask was enough.

@AlliFlowers self employment means individual plans mean you either have to get high deductible plans or pay a literal fortune each month.

Insurance should not be tied to employment

Your reminder: the GOP selected a special counsel to investigate Clinton before Monica Lewinsky

They went fishing and they got a big catch

Clinton lost moderates and center right voters
Hillary was still affected when she ran
Dubya got a boost and kept many of the Reagan era officials from his dad‘s term
Dems didn’t take the house until 2006
This normalizes impeachment for Trump

It’s time to put Jared Kushner front and center. Fight back.

I almost wish we could force students to do something they love, do something that restores them. I think most of us know that the kids are not okay (heck, staff and faculty aren't okay either), but incorporating self-care can be hard to teach.

I've learned that someone telling me they're a Christian means they want an afterlife, but can't be bothered with actually doing Christian stuff. if they tell me they're not racist, they almost always are. Often, they're the same people.

Back in Reagan's day churches churches thought they could control government but it was a trick. In reality government controls churches and how their congregations vote, just like in Russia.

While attacking #ReidHoffman (#LinkedIn), #Trump managed to defame #EJeanCarroll again. He repeated the same lies for which a jury found him #liable both for #defamation & #SexualAssault. His continuing defamation could, according to a prior ruling, increase the #punitive #damages at her next #trial beginning 1/16.

"Should college students be disciplined for calling for a genocide against Jewish people?"

Yes. The answer is always: Yes. This isn't hard at all.
