I don't consider the old or new testaments as the literal words of a god or infallible history books- but this whole thread, including the replies, is really quite illuminating.
Some of my fellow folks here might find it odd but in the story of the Cleansing of the Temple, I’m very much on Jesus’s side - to a point.

What I oppose is literally every Christian interpretation, depiction, and description of the event, because they are almost always ahistorical and anti-Jewish.

I really think people are underestimating the degree to which 21st century politics are going to be apocalyptically bad; we are collectively sliding towards mass ethnic cleansing being the norm in the Western World, out of no reason but pure fucking spite and empty nostalgia.
Tory policy is to revoke permanent residence (ILR) for everybody who does not earn £38k - deporting most nurses who have ILR

This is put in the video as "who is unlikely to contribute more than they cost"

NB: video does not say EU settled status is exempt

No govt since Idi Amin has done this

The Inspector General system is basically broken now. Most IGs have been fired, most positions remain vacant. Those who remain or would take the job pose no risk to holding the regime accountable.
Congress added more barriers to Trump firing IGs after his first term. He just ignored them.

1/2 I’m recommending a horror book & movie every day until Halloween. Two books today: Victor LaValle’s brilliant novella, THE BALLAD OF BLACK TOM, which turns HPL's racism upside down and She Walks in Shadows by. Silvia Moreno-Garcia and Paula R. Stiles, a great collection of cosmic horror by women

Our top story: His wife visited him ICE in detention on his 50th birthday. She couldn’t even bring him the card she’d made. They could only speak through a phone, divided by a thick pane of glass. It was one of few times she’d ever seen him cry.
Trump's ICE Arrested a Whistleblower Who Exposed Sexual Assault in Detention. Now, He’s Left the Country.
Douglas Menjivar is a survivor and activist. He’s also married to a U.S. citizen, but he was caught up in the president’s mass deportation agenda anyway.

If you think that professors exist as repositories of knowledge that students ask for answers, you’re missing the entire point of a college education.

We’re here to teach students how to do research, how to analyze and argue, how to think for themselves — how to find the answers on their own.
Wow. Just wow.

"Students pay premium prices for information that AI now delivers instantly and for free. A business student can ask ChatGPT to explain supply chain optimization or generate market analysis in seconds. The traditional lecture-and-test model faces its Blockbuster moment."

Hang onto your butts. This “correction” is gonna hurt.

Wellness influencers are killing people. Paloma Shemirani was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, which 80% of people survive, at age 22. She was dead within 7 months because dietary changes and coffee enemas didn’t work. Her airway collapsed under pressure from a tumor and she died at age 23.
