did ronald reagan effectively utilize decency by funneling money to illegal paramilitary death squads in nicaragua
The presidency once served as a reminder of our common humanity. Ronald Reagan described its purpose as building "a nation composed of good and decent people."

a vast majority of artists already do not own the work they create. the animators on that show don't own the frames they worked on, the showrunner sold the ip to the studio, that writer writes under a pseudonym owned by the publisher. das capital babey

on fox news, the words 'puerto rico' link to other stories with that tag. the URL says travel/vacation-destinations/puerto-rico. politics, natural disasters, international incidents... it only matters because you might vacation there. that's why it's scary to them when you say it should be free.

Ms. Rachel is an absolute hero. She’s gotten so much abuse for her extremely compassionate, humane - and in my opinion, common sense - views on children being hurt and killed in Gaza. But she’s not letting that silence her. Bless you Ms. R.

If you're feeling down because you were wrong about something, just remember that, no matter how embarrassing it was, at least you didn't sign the Harper's "Letter on Justice and Open Debate" declaring that the greatest threat to free speech was "censoriousness" among liberal academics. 🫶

This is one of the weirdest things when people are quoting Shakespeare. Practically every line Shakespeare ever wrote is being said by a character who has his own motivations, context, meaning. the lines by themselves are like saying lama sabachthani without, you know, the Cross

fyi this is what capitalism will *always* devolve into. this is a feature of capitalism, not a bug. firms engage in monopoly making and anti-competitive behavior, they manipulate the political system to ensure this can continue.
6. Why does Pepsi do this? Walmart’s promise is: Keep us the king of our domain and we’ll make you the king of yours. Walmart helps Pepsi dominate the drink market in exchange for Pepsi ensuring that Walmart dominates groceries.
