and then they had forgiven themselves
because the net reward had justified
the colossal mess they’d made of their lives

what the formulation "israel has a right to exist" is meant to stand for is "the nation of israel has a right to define its electorate such that particular people are represented and others are not," which is something so plainly ridiculous that it cannot be stated outright.

I am kind of sitting here mouth agape as I realize that the thing that really got eight Democrats to cave was a provision which provides backdoor criminal and civil immunity to them personally by making it functionally impossible to ever investigate the Senate
read the actual bill text and this is quite literally a provision designed solely to impede civil and criminal investigations into United States Senators and their staff. www.appropriations.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

Debunking “When Prophecy Fails”
In 1954, Dorothy Martin predicted an apocalyptic flood and promised her followers rescue by flying saucers. When neither arrived, she recanted, her group dissolved, and efforts to proselytize ceased....

The funny thing about the invention of the wheel is the guy who invented it died penniless. It wasn't until much much later that pennies were invented

if the blue jays win the world series, they will need to ensure that every member of their roster is at least 21 years old before celebrating with champagne. this is because the legal drinking age in canada is 21, with the exception of quebec, where the legal drinking age is also 21

This is the single best and most vivid explanation of how persuasion actually works at both the individual and social/group level I have ever read. This is the core of what Rs get and Dems do not. And not the main point at all, but he gets the tactical use of testing and research right, too.

I fully understand how difficult it is to remain focused on any one particular atrocity but this really ought to be a serious scandal and people need to pay heavy prices for this
