You’ve lost the plot as a presidential administration when Dr. Oz is on stage handwringing about the cost of balls
Dr Oz: "The creation of a penis costs on average in America $150,000 per child ... if you add testicles, that's extra"

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

Gets dark early this time of year, so I bought Rocket a light up collar.
But you see, he’s very floofy.

One of our Shakopee observers witnessed ICE pepper spray a baby today in Chanhassen.
(Yes. You read that right.)
The agent knew the baby was there. ICE does not make our communities safer. End Operation Metro Surge NOW!

Almost certainly the best thing I was ever told about owls was when I met an owl handler at an owl sanctuary and he told me that the wild owls who lived near the sanctuary worried about the tame show owls there and sometimes stopped by to leave them shrews and mice as presents.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

a load-bearing component of “the magic of Christmas” is the invisible domestic labor of moms
you are now realizing how much she was doing for you and instead of just thanking her you’ve decided it’s about the decline of civilization

Because you're an adult you fucking muppet. You gotta pay the magic forward.

Anyone recognize this dog? My neighbor is watching him until his owners are found. Pit mix, male, pretty sizable, good at greeting and friendly behaviors and VERY SWEET. No tag, no chip. Surely his family yearns for him. Found in the Standish-Ericson neighborhood in Minneapolis, near Lake Hiawatha.

This thread is interesting, but it doesn’t match my experience as a community college instructor. I have some students who don’t do the work, and they fail. (I have a generous policy for late work, and many students who got off on the wrong foot end up doing okay. Not all do.)
An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.
