Oklahoma University has placed a grad student instructor on admin leave for failing a psychology paper on gender for citing *the Bible* as a source of empirical evidence.
In response, OU has placed on instructor on admin leave citing, get this, the FIRST AMENDMENT.
Universities are cooked.

The Republican chairs of both the House and Senate Armed Services committees signed a letter yesterday stating that they requested specific info many weeks ago on these strikes and the WH & Pentagon have refused to provide it. If the story is fake news, then turn everything over.

Condolences to the students at OU who *were* working hard, doing the course work and earning good grades long before the administration there decreed that you only need to say "as the Bible teaches" and be done with it.
I'm sorry your university hates you and hope you can transfer somewhere good.

If I was working at OU, I would just start handing out 100's to every student and stop writing comments.

Talentless frauds close to the White House are making billions by crashing the American economy and selling out America’s allies. Here’s why democratic socialism is unthinkable.

The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet.

Dear @yahoosports.bsky.social
I am once again seeing wrestling news in my sports feed.
Since you won’t stop inserting results from a choreographed drama into my sports feed, I was wondering if you could start including game results from Ted Lasso?
Please and thank you.

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

The UCP last night passed a motion to defund 3rd trimester abortions. Ones after 20 wk are cause medically necessary. So if passed into law in Alberta, if a woman’s life is endangered by a 3rd trimester pregnancy, & she can’t afford what they charge, she’d have to travel to another province or die.

The 38th parallel in Korea was also originally intended to be temporary.
The Israeli military is digging in along the yellow line that now divides the Gaza Strip between eastern and western sectors—one controlled by Israel, the other by Hamas.
The Yellow Line in Gaza Is Supposed to Be Temporary. Israel Is Digging in.
Unless Hamas disarms, Israeli troops are unlikely to withdraw further.

This gets at the fundamentally flawed approach of the federal government: they are trying to find a policy solution to an identity problem.
It is part of the polarized, populist identity to be opposed to an Ottawa and Liberal Canada are not them. No policy will change that, as TMX revealed.

I have a sneaking suspicion that humanity would be much better off not relying on a work of fiction that has a lot of insane shit in it to determine what is right and what is wrong.

There are good reasons that the U.S. Constitution does not leave the decision on whether to go to war to the whims of one man.
