French people sure know great food. Got a discounted chicken from a French supermarket. It is so much better than what I can get normally in Germany it is simply unbelievable.
But it also goes the other way, especially for beer :D

What the actual fuck? The DEADLINE was yesterday. Sure Dems, come on out and tell us how they broke the law by not releasing all the documents, redacting hundreds of pages, and adding photos of Bill Clinton that had nothing to do with Epstein. Where are the US Marshalls? The DEADLINE was yesterday.

"p-hacking" is when dishonest scientists try multiple analytical paths to find one that finally indicates statistical significance. It's dishonest because it knowingly inflates or even manufactures effects.
Anti-vax "studies" do it all the time. One more reason EXPERTISE is needed to assess data.

"ICE and CBP must be abolished" is the only reasonable position. We can debate the specifics of new agencies for immigration functions, but these agencies are simply too infected with a culture of impunity, racism, and fascism to continue. They're gangs with badges.
Armed ICE agents trapped US citizens in a restaurant and demanded their papers. Federal agents walked into East African restaurants in Cedar-Riverside, MN. They closed and blocked the doors. Then they demanded to see everyone’s papers. Every person present was a US citizen.

There is a huge difference between things that tourists get to experience and what the locals get under the same name.
Ate some Weißwurst at a high end tourist spot far from Munich. It was nice.
But it is nothing like the heavenly experience you get on a Saturday morning in Munich among locals.

Did you know that before Nixon and Reagan, health insurance companies in America were non-profit? Yep, they screamed about "socialized medicine" and gradually shifted the focus of our entire healthcare system from public welfare to... making bucks off illness.

The Trump administration believes that the rich and powerful should be pardoned for their crimes, even after judges and juries determined their guilt.
But if you’re a non-white guy in a fishing boat, there’s no need for a trial or even an arrest. Murder from above, no questions asked.

When this criminal was jailed, the judge told David Gentile and America: ‘This is a warning to would-be fraudsters that seeking to get rich by taking advantage of investors gets you only a one-way ticket to jail.’ I guess not

@techconnectify.bsky.social have you ever tried a "prison" water boiler? It *might* be more appropriate for Electroboom, but technically it is "perfectly" safe and super interesting.
The "device" is trivial: two razor blades, 2-3 matchsticks, superglue and a plug with two wires.

Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.

Stephen Miller’s ancestors were Jewish refugees from the pogroms in czarist Russia. They came to the U.S. in the early twentieth century, even as racists said this same stuff about them.
