Truly is a sacred tradition in America to spend all of our tax money on the military and not help a goddamn person at home with anything.

If, being incredibly charitable, you didn’t intend to make a CSAM robot, not immediately turning off the CSAM robot when you find out you accidentally made a CSAM robot should still get you put in the magnetic boots prison from Face/Off

Indeed!
A lot of people are unaware that Gates McFadden, in addition to being Dr. Beverly Crusher, is an expert in Dance and Puppetry who worked with Jim Henson.
(I had no idea she had a cameo, in front of the camera, in Muppets Take Manhattan!)

Just kidding!!! I'm watching The Muppets Take Manhattan and the dancing doctor appeared.

I said Becky Chambers' Psalm for the Wild-Built, and I stand by that, but if they only have Terry Pratchett's Small Gods lying around, that will do.
Ok, everyone, what book is sacred enough to you to get sworn in on?
Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.

Let's not lose sight of the big picture: We need to fight for a country where every person — no matter where they live, or who their parents are, or how much money they make — has real opportunity.

speaking as someone who had great SAT scores this is the stupidest thing I've ever heard in my entire life
they were bad enough as a college admissions thing let alone *faculty hiring*

This article advocates for the “Faculty Merit Act” that would — get this — require all faculty applicants to submit their *SAT* scores. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Holy shirts that’s hilarious.
