Minstrel?

My high school German teacher passed away this week. She was one of those one-in-a-million teachers who changes the way you think about learning. As a professor, she's one of the teachers I regularly think about as someone I want to emulate.

Today, I'm thankful for amazing teachers.

Thank you for the Fleem love on this one* #TeamFleem

*Didn't even comment about Fleem on the last one this feels like a very serious level of self control

Does the office have a Fleem in residence? #TeamFleem is curious about this

Lot of unhappy things going on at large and in this article, but one of them is that there a contingent of RW activists searching through social media for comments they can use to get people fired or worse. Be careful.

An antisemite shot two kids in Colorado, at least one of whom is Jewish.

The White House “fighting antisemitism” doesn’t care, because the shooter was a student radicalized online into far right beliefs, which the regime is cool with, rather than a student verbally criticizing Israeli govt policy.

Some claim "Christian nationalism" is just "loving Jesus" & "being patriotic."

Lots of social scientific evidence shows the "Christianity" of Christian nationalism is much more than that.

In fact, it brings with it 5 pieces of cultural baggage.

Protesters chanted that President Donald Trump is the “Hitler of our time” while he dined at Joe’s Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab on Tuesday, a rare journey outside the White House to a D.C. restaurant. https://wapo.st/3V6st9v

But do they have Fleem?

ICYMI:

-SCOTUS ruled that "common sense" racial profiling is A-okay when ICE does it

-The WSJ released Trump's vulgar Epstein drawing

-The White House sent out an invitation for the public hanging of the separation of church and state

-The ickiest Murdoch gets to keep control of Fox

This is why "diversity of thought" is a dead end. Equating anti-science quacks with professional scientists is how you end up putting worm-for-brains RFK in charge of spreading measles to Texas families.

Scientific consensus is good, actually.

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

Whoa.

"Now the debate among national security professionals is over whether the secretary was just incompetent or whether he was drunk. That’s how low this has gone.

I like the brackets because they add a level of guidance and consistency that was missing with “power level” assessments. Though I will be curious to see what the new “PL7” becomes 😂

The little helmet is cute though.

MINOR issue?! You said make it Rakdos! This is a travesty. Also this should clearly be Gruul, not Rakdos
