Calvin got cancelled for this very thing decades ago…
Calvin and Hobbes strip First frame: Calvin stands in front of a blackboard holding a piece of paper and says “My report is on Bats. …AHEM…” Second frame: he continues, getting more exasperated, “Dusk! With a creepy tingling sensation, you hear the fluttering of leathery wings! BATS! With glowing red eyes and glistening fangs, these unspeakable giant bugs drop onto…” Third frame: perspective switches to show Calvin’s back as he stands in front of the class and every student is yelling, “BATS AREN’T BUGS!!” Final Frame: back to focus on Calvin as he screams at them, “who’s giving this report? YOU chowderheads… or Me?!” From out of frame you see the teacher saying, “Calvin, I’d like to see you a moment.”

This article is great
…He told the Atlantic that, “the closest relationship this is equivalent to is talking to a god”. I am not particularly spiritual, but Leif is not like any god I’ve experienced or read about. At most, he’s an untrained, under qualified temp manning the front desk at a deity’s office.

Not take advice from Jim Cramer

This sentence alone… some day, somebody is gonna write an entire dissertation on the cognitive dissonance captured in these 11 words.
They should be forced to fire anyone who shuts down speech…

“Relatively,” being the operative word in my original post. The thing to keep in mind is that it was already a DEEP red state.

Picture in three parts of the leaders of The Good Place (from the TV show the Good Place) with captions reading. “He’s got a point. The fair thing for us to do is just keep on giving up more and more stuff we want, unilaterally, until this demon is finally happy.”

I have never wanted to meet a person less (assuming they are a person. Jury is still out).

Sir, I love your work. This close is so, so good. Thank you!
My grandmother’s history exists inside this museum. Ruth Odom Bonner’s history exists inside this museum. The nation’s history exists inside this museum. Attempting to strip the institution of the stories that tell the truth about who we have been is an attempt to perpetuate a lie about who we are.

Just gonna leave this here for a while for no particular reason at all…
Quote from “To Kill a Mockingbird” stating, “I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It’s when you know you’re locked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what.”

Well that worked well…
A post by Brian Stetler 6 days ago stating that, “Trump is black listing a news outlet (AP) for using a name he doesn’t like. It’s that simple. So why aren’t more reporters and media outlets speaking out more vehemently to help the AP? In part, I’m told, it’s because the WH Correspondents’ Association is trying to would put a solution behind the scenes.”

Refreshing to see ANYBODY calling this for what it is. Distressing that it’s Rolling Stone who does it the best…
But defending the integrity of the election has never been the point. For the former president, continuing to claim that illegal voters are being propped up by Democrats in order to steal the election from him is just one of many lies he’s concocted in service of his own political ambitions. Trump is already laying the groundwork to repeat his 2020 claims of a stolen election, but this time around he has the Republican Party fully at his beck and call.
