I'm here in New England. Lawyer. PoliSci nerd. I believe in the Irish Goodbye, vaccines, and kindness. I also don't think enough people paid attention in high school social studies/history class.
100%. There is absolutely no way this is torture, we all felt the pain after these exams and lived to tell. Stop making things easier for younger generations. They already have such a hard time thinking their way through situations or problems.
Does anyone else bristle at this framing? WSJ says blue books are “torturing” students with hand cramps, and “nobody likes them.”

Listen, students have been outsourcing everything to AI and cheating their way through college. Blue books should be celebrated as a return to authentic human learning.
They Were Every Student’s Worst Nightmare. Now Blue Books Are Back.
Cheating with ChatGPT has become a huge problem for colleges. The solution is painfully old-school.

Oh, Google, your AI stinks. Stop whatever the hell you are doing. If I search for a place in a city in one state, don't add three other states that also have that town.

The photographer totally touched up his hand. The real question is, how is this anyone's idea of a Christmas portrait? They are the most sour looking people on earth. Joy to the world, yeah, no.
The White House appears to have touched up Trump’s hand for their official Trump and Melania Christmas portrait

Americans having to bootleg broadcast news about our government’s offshored concentration camp is a level of fascism that immediately precedes democratic societies dropping leaflets on us from weather balloons.
And now someone has uploaded a version that wasn't filmed off a TV.

There's also the torrent link there, which is probably the fastest way to download the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT if you want to save the file locally to your computer.

Yeah, no way in hell a Supreme Court ornament is going on our tree this year. I don't think it will be on it next year either.

I have no words. I have a whole lot of disgust, hate and anger for this man and the rest of the MAGA cult.

What is Tim Kaine's problem?
WELKER: Massie and Khanna say they are looking at options including impeachment and contempt for DOJ officials. Would you support those steps?

KAINE: I think that's premature

It isn't radical, it isn't left, it is sane Americans who want normalcy and common decency and not the Trump insanity.
Johnson: If we lose the House majority, the radical left will impeach President Trump.

Trump's minions are like a bunch of drunk college kids who think they can fool the sober adults in the room with their immature tricks and stunts.
The photo below was included in DOJ's data dump yesterday. Once people noticed that Trump was pictured with young girls--children--the photo was deleted.

Not only is Trump's DOJ flagrantly violating the Epstein files law, this shows how cynical they are, and how stupid they think Americans are.

Oh, the cult has no understanding of history unless it is the Third Reich.
Wasn't Nixon's AG the first in his administration to go down?

I can play the same game as Brianna, in fact I can one up because I have ancestors that signed the Declaration of Independence but this is nothing but white supremacy bullshit. The refusal of these people to acknowledge this means absolutely nothing is a toddler's mentality in full effect.
If immigrating from England makes you a "heritage American" then I guess I'm one too.

Too many people do not know history. People have managed to live in these bubbles that are only focused on what happens to them at this minute. It is stupid and dangerous.
not that the present economic picture is rosy, but i do think that popular culture — and specifically nostalgia bait television — is a big part of the reason that our public memory of the 1970s, 1980s and even 1990s seems to miss the real economic pain that marked each of those decades.

I’ve had an insanely busy day, but I’m getting around to digging through the Epstein File release.

Lot of redactions so far.

These poor children who will have suffer because of this. These people are going to get kids sick and then shrug because of the costs associated with the illnesses. They will want to shun/hide those kids like it was done the 1960s.

I found it. The Bari Weiss/CBS News town hall promo for feminism does indeed use a 1964 photo of Beatles fans.

The big baby needs to be propped up. If we get out of this thing alive, we are going to spend an awful lot of money removing his name from things.
Wasting no time, the Trump administration begins adding his name to the Kennedy Center building, ignoring the understanding that it would require an act of Congress. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/12...

Oh, dude is totally trying to distance himself. Yeah, no, the stench of Trump does not come out. No amount of bleach will remove it.
Rubio on former colleagues who say he's abandoned his principles: "There's things people can say do in private that they can't in public...but at the end of the day, the person the people elected POTUS is Donald J Trump. That's who they elected. My job is to implement the president's foreign policy"
