So Omar “misspeaks” (well, not really) once, and it is somehow her defining moment, but we have a Tang dictator who can’t tell the difference between reality and fantasy, and he is “strong.” She and her colleagues are facing an uphill battle in a windstorm on an icy sidewalk. And I will continue to cheer them on.

Upgraded to 1st class. Congratulations, but can you ever go back to coach now?

Well, Eddie Huang also has mixed feelings about the show, so it’s not just her.

I wrote off all of that negative press as “wait, you are NOT a submissive, passive creature?” bullshit. Women get called out for being assertive - doubly so if it runs contrary to racist stereotypes.

This was after a meeting in which Bettel basically unloaded on Boris for not having any proposal and for wasting the EU’s time.

We do not need to be involved in this at all. This is likely Iran’s way of screwing up MBS’s looming IPO for ARAMCO. Iran is not totally irrational, and the damage will likely be repaired soon. But coming in the wake of MBS’s amateur game of musical chairs on ARAMCO’s board, this undermines the IPO which was already…

Well, there may be a surplus of opioids soon. I am sure someone in the Pentagon will requisition them and hide the cost under $500 bolts.

Don’t forget the constant repeating of the same point over and over...

So the guy who claimed during the campaign to have a surefire way to end the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, but gave no specifics because “the bad guys were listening,” now thinks we have - super-duper bombs. Well, I am...surprised?

Re: Kristin Stewart photo - please do not confuse RBF with an actor who has no measurable range. You could argue that other actors have RBF, but most of them also have other emotions one expects of an actor. I am baffled why she gets so much work. ymmv

California - Devin Nunes. That is my opening bid.

You would be surpeised how much infrastructure costs and maintenance have changed since just then. That is also just about the time that Washington was putting pressure on accredditing bodies to demand more in the way of assessment data and outcomes from member institutions. That requires more staff and more time.…

Nice.

Thank you.

Consider it a communal work in progress. I like your change.

Yeah, I saw that just dropped in there and thought, “seriously, why have we not read this story yet?” I want to respect Michael’s time and space and all of that, but you can’t just casually mention that and then...nothing!

They absolutely knew. San Jose is in Santa Clara county. The recall was BIG news in that county, and the recall was on the Santa Clara county ballot. People in San Jose - AGAIN - voted in that election. They did not need a google search, unless the hiring committee had been in a collective coma for three years. To…

To call Trump a racist would be to admit their own racism. He did not introduce racism to the GOP, he merely magnified it.

This seems to be a phenomenon that does not just affect black people. A person (of a leftward political bent, a woman, an LGBTQ+ person, a POC, jsut to name a few examples) looks at the political-economic landscape and thinks, “Those folks riding the “populist” wave seem to be getting ahead. Well hell, surf’s up!”…
