Does anyone believe a high ranking person will ever see justice for this?
TFG will grant pardons to everyone, so they can do whatever they want, and this DOJ will do nothing about it.

I don't know why this is happening, but more and more I go to the grocery store and people to pulling their carts instead of pushing them, and this takes up way more room in an aisle, and is annoying and needs to stop.
There I said it.

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.
And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

I just found out that I will be presenting a paper at the upcoming International Medieval Conference at Leeds in July.
This will be my first time presenting, have attended virtually before, and I am both excited and slightly terrified as well.

Pope Leo XIV told students not to use artificial intelligence for homework, saying that AI ‘won’t stand in authentic wonder before the beauty of God’s creation.’

Harlem Renaissance would be interesting.
I figure Ken Burns has one, maybe two big documentary series in him before he fully retires. What do you think they should be? My votes include Football, Hip-Hop, World War 1, Reconstruction (though Skip Gates did this one well), Iraq/Afghanistan, 19th Century Expansionism.

The absurdity of the 28 point paper gets another twist.
US State Deputy Spokesman Tommy Pigott called the bipartisan group of US Senators, including Republican Senator Mike Rounds, liars.
This US administration has completely lost its plot, if it ever existed. Total chaos.

Just came home from seeing SIX the musical. Such a great concept for a show and the music and staging were so well thought out and really captures your attention right from the start.
Highly recommend if you get a chance to see it.

I am trying to find a quote and wondering if anyone can help. It is either from ancient Rome of Greece about a teacher complaining that their student's don't use slate tables anymore. Or something along those lines.
Anyone know what I am talking about, or am I completely losing it?

The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

Am I the only person when I hear people bring up AI and the things it "can do" I get a guttural reaction and irrationally irate about AI?
Like people think this is the greatest thing on Earth and I just can't see it anything more than a fancy intellectual property stealing search engine.

The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.
