Tough meeting, jeez

Levi McLaughlin @levimclaughlin.bsky.social · 48m

Big upheaval in Japanese politics. Today (Japan time), after a ninety minute meeting between Saitō, head of Komeito, and Takaichi, the LDP politician who recently won her party’s presidency, Saitō announced an end to their parties’ 26-year-long coalition agreement.

I wrote a 10 page dialogue between Socrates and Nietzsche at 3 am the day it was due that my philosophy professor loved so much he gave me an A++ and to this day I have no idea what I got right about it

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
You people couldn't hang with real slackers.

If you ever stuck up for "ideological diversity ' or good faith debate or whatever and thought guys like Thiessen were part of that congratulations you are a huge sucker and Thiessen and the other conservatives are laughing at you now that they won.

Thiessen having a good chuckle about his fired liberal colleagues - some of whom he worked with for 15 years - is a good reminder that token conservatives at mainstream news outlets are/were there to destroy them, not to contribute to them.

it's kind of wild that a guy died a little while ago and the government swore we would reap the whirlwind and that his widow would lead a howling army of valkyries across the galaxy and then the most you heard about it since was the secretary of domestic war saying they arrested the wife of antifa

What do you mean "possible rise," dude is at the top of the pack. He is the literal pope

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · 18h

As Pope Leo begins to reveal some of his views on divisive issues, some conservative critics of his predecessor are rejecting the possible rise of another “liberal pope.”

As Pope Leo riles conservatives, some say ‘just focus on the church’

Conservatives who hoped that Leo, the first U.S.-born pope, would be more of a traditionalist instead hear echoes of his predecessor, Francis, in his public statements.

Trump hints that he's going to give Andy Ngo, Pizzagate Jack, and others at the antifa roundtable the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

"You have been amazing, you have been brave. You are real patriots. At some point, we will look into rewarding you with very important medals and honors."

I've said it before, but it's remarkable how quickly the feds have managed to piss away the seemingly ironclad presumption of candor & credibility they enjoyed with federal judges.

They've lied so shamelessly, flagrantly, & frequently that judges have decided not to be played for fools any more.

Jon Seidel @jonseidel.bsky.social · 13h

U.S. District Judge April Perry says it comes down to a "credibility determination."

"I simply cannot credit [the Trump administration's] declarations to the extent they contradict state and local law enforcement. … DHS' perception of events are simply unreliable."

Jon Seidel @jonseidel.bsky.social · 13h

#BREAKING A federal judge say she will grant "in part" a request by the state of Illinois for a temporary restraining order against the deployment of National Guard troops into the state.

U.S. District Judge April Perry is still ruling and has not outlined the details of her order.

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

Hyperbolic Vituperations was the name of my 80s New Romantic band

Joshua J. Friedman @joshuajfriedman.com · 15h

"The reasonable listener of 'Not Like Us' would conclude that Lamar is rapping hyperbolic vituperations."

“Not Like Us” is replete with profanity, trash-talking, threats of violence, and figurative and hyperbolic language, all of which are indicia of opinion. A reasonable listener would not equate a song that contains lyrics such as, “Ain’t no law, boy, you ball boy, fetch Gatorade or somethin’, since 2009 I had this b**** jumpin’,” with accurate factual reporting. Accordingly, the reasonable listener of “Not Like Us” would conclude that Lamar is rapping hyperbolic vituperations.

Trying not to be a Grinch about this but is it normal now for school buses to drop kids off right at their door, but only after a parent comes out to escort the kid the fifteen or so feet from the bus to their front door? These are townhouses and they have done four on this block alone.

Trump: "I also did a cognitive exam. Which is always very risky because if I didn't do well, you'd be the first to be blaring it and I had a perfect score. And one of the doctors said he's almost never seen a perfect score. I had a perfect score. That made me well good ... not the easiest test."
