Apple on its own could invest a negligible amount of money and essentially rebuild the entire news industry in an up-to-date, internet-friendly fashion, thereby saving local news and ensuring a steady supply of journalism for decades to come.

There are no secrets, just facts yet to be revealed.  Assume everything you do will someday be splashed across the front page of the NY Times and see if it’s still a good idea.

I agree with your premise of “It’s their personal belief” but I also remember Kennedy getting hammered for being a Catholic and Ilhan Omar being called out by the same conservatives.  Scumbaggery needs to be called out wherever it lies.

My wife has been an educator for 20 years teaching in both private schools and the poorest inner city districts in that time. She’s always said it doesn’t matter how much she loves and encourages the kids, if they go home to an abusive parent, drug use, and no food; they won’t be able to do their homework.

I was stationed in Maryland for a while. A local friend of mine was eating scrapple for breakfast and described it to me as everything that hits the slaughter house floor, ground into a loaf, baked, then deep fried and covered in gravy. I noped the hell out of that.

As a wise man once said “Sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I won’t eat the filthy mutherfucker.”

At the start of the GWOT, this is what I was advocating.  The Dems should have given 43 a blank check, but insisted on a draft, rationing, and a full wartime footing.  It’s been able to be prolonged because such a small slice of the voting public is exposed to war.  Make everyone share in it through war bonds and…

I stuck with the Franklin through my mid 20s then started bouncing around with different system, including nothing at all. I started bulleting about 8 years ago before it really was the bullet.  When I saw websites with the system, it was close to what I was doing but with more structure, which was what I needed. 

I can’t even imagine how big the smile is on that garlic-knot head of Jerrah is right now. From what I’ve read of the backstage drama at the owners meetings, he hates Kraft. I’m sure Jerrah’s just being super smug he hasn’t gotten caught doing the same thing.

Minis are too much work for not enough return.

I was one of the early adopters of ADHD, being diagnosed at 8 in ‘82. My parents initially put me on Ritalin, but it ended up making me a zombie slogging through school. The school psych loved it and declared “problem solved.” My parents were great advocates and got a second opinion. The psychologist we went to took…

That’s my takeaway from this.  The school wouldn’t have to worry about the ACLU if it was my daughter, I’d be going ape-shit on everyone up and down the chain.

Reese’s are my heroin and I have to disagree about the ratio. While the standard cups are good, the holiday themed Reese’s (pumpkins/eggs/trees) have the best peanut butter to chocolate ratio. King cups are a very close second.

At what point to people say “fuck that noise” and stop applying for jobs in this administration? How many sycophants are their desperate to have their resume tarnished by association? Are we at the bottom of the barrel yet or are have we broken through and started digging in the mud?

Captain Whitebread here. I grew up in a posh, nearly all white suburb of Detroit. We had 1 POC in our entire school system and a few people of Asian decent. Graduated from high school in ‘92.

When was the last time someone actually filibustered? I’m not talking about threatening it, I mean standing in front of their peers and the cameras and reading the phone book just for the sake of obstruction? Both sides like to threaten the filibuster but I don’t remember one side telling the other “if you feel…

It’s actually very little. The War Powers act limits deployments to 90 days before the pres has to seek approval from Congress. He might be able to claim its’ ongoing GWOT, but even then there could be a specific resolution carving that deployment out. They can also cut the purse strings and only fund it in exchange…

The House controls the budget. The Dems can insist on taxes that will pay for any war Trump wants. They can also deny his ability to deploy without an explicit declaration of war after 90 days.  Hell, institute rationing and warm up the draft boards.   Without a direct assault on the mainland US, it’s going to be very…

I was among the first kids diagnosed with ADHD (back when it was just ADD) so I’ve been dealing with it for ~20 years in the workforce.
