Seriously, though, spend your money with small businesses. We're struggling.
I knew that this year was going to be bad.
I didn't know it was going to be "Black Friday/Cyber Monday is literally 1/10th of BFCM 2022."
That's not a typo. I know that we're missing a couple of our high-ticket items this year, but... holy shit.

For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do.
If Hegseth ordered a war crime and lied about it, shouldn’t Ds try for impeachment? Put Rs on the spot. They might get a few defections.

Very little U.S travel
No rallies or contact with supporters
Right-wing media
Dinners with rich donors and billionaires

Also, to be clear, when a trans instructor at OU is being punished and targeted for quite fairly grading a terrible essay, it’s bizarre to see academics online debating the rubrics.
That’s…not the problem.

I have long had an obscure, complex theory about Susan Collins that explains these things.
Susan Collins is terrible and anyone who ever suggested she is a moderate is a liar or a rube.

This is the seminal paper written by Watson & Crick outlining the structure of DNA.
Rosalind Franklin should have been co-author on this publication.
