you don’t solve the issue by eliminating the immigrants, you solve it by eliminating the racists
Once again; you can't moderate your way to neutralizing an issue like immigration.

It's fundamentally just racist reaction. Nothing is ever enough because what's demanded—ethnonationalist homogeneity—is completely unavailable in modern conditions. There will *always* be a basis for more demagoguery
YOU WANTED NET IMMIGRATION TO COME DOWN! THIS IS WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE!

a cancer nurse in a state I've never been to told messaged me and said that reading out Rice Truck aloud as it happened was the only day in her entire 14 year career on chemo ward that nobody cried and it's probably the best compliment I will ever get in my life
What is the best compliment you ever received? Putting aside whether or not you believed it.

So Heated Rivalry comes out on Friday and I'll be at my dad's house and frankly I would rather be killed by a sniper lurking in the wetlands behind my dad's house than watch while in the same ZIP code as my parents so after all this I'm going to have to wait til Saturday.

One possible motivation to demand access was to steal data, and I think that was a part of it, but also I think DOGE (or Musk, anyway) was motivated by a conspiracy theory:

The belief that government workers would conspire to use the government's computer systems against them.

Sorry, sorry...what?

I'm not saying this to diminish the reality of his malevolence in any way but...is he an alien? Like, this is not behavior that is recognizably human.
Holy crap this isn't a joke

I just have to accept that I am full-tilt in this fandom despite the fact that I am 30 years too old to be entertaining this kind of nonsense. What's the point of fighting it? I'm right here. Here I am.

I've introduced myself as being "From the US" or "From the United States" before and people have literally not understood what I was saying until I said "American" and 100% of them immediately understood.
I don't think I've personally used the term USian much, but I have definitely said thinks like "I'm from the USA"/etc instead of "I'm American". I know it probably doesn't make much difference for most, but at least some people outside the USA but in the Americas appreciate it.

Market Basket was lit just now. The most important shopping evening of the year and the whole place is chock full of people who have never been to Market Basket before, who may have never once seen groceries.

I have bathed in the luscious bedlam and come out the other side warshed pure of my sins.

While TikTok’s algorithm caters to each user’s obsession of the moment, it feels nearly impossible to be on the app without seeing at least one video about Crave and HBO Max’s new gay hockey romance series, Heated Rivalry.

I think if Canada wants to have a strong cultural identity we need to go back to doing what we're best at, making the weirdest fucking TV shows you've ever seen

The priest featured in this article was the father of one of my best friends! ❤️❤️❤️
the priest at my church had converted (along with most of his Episcopalian congregation) and he was married. There's a few out there but I don't think the Catholic church likes to publicize "one weird trick" around all that
Making the transition from Lutheran minister to Catholic priest - with a wife - WHYY
As the Roman Catholic Church struggles with a shortage of American men interested in joining the priesthood amid a rapidly aging clergy, a small number of married men have received permission from Rom...

From the IT director at a company I worked at years ago, when some gnarly bug had been released into production and I spent my morning fielding calls from angry doctors and I went over to the dev shop to find out wtf was going on:

"When you walk in here asking for someone by name, its a bad day."

I'm trying not to get defensive about this, but there is a really odd critique in here that I think is...out of bounds? for a critic namely: "there is a way of structuring this story that could have turned it into a completely different story, but they chose not to do that". Yes? Correct?

This article heavily implies that ICE is being used in a custody dispute to help Karoline Leavitt's brother get his son and have the mother locked up in ICE detention
"A woman with a family connection to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has been arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Revere, Massachusetts."
