"Harvard may be partly to blame for encouraging student absences, with a policy that allows students to enroll in two classes that meet at the same time."

I did not notice a long wait. I did note, however, that even with employer subsidized health insurance I was out of pocket >$500 for a single X-ray and a pain pill.

I'm not even a christian but I think health care is a human right and don't mind if we pay for undocumented people.

Vance: "If you're an American citizen & you've been to the hospital in the last few years, you've probably noticed wait times are especially large & very often somebody who's there in the ER is an illegal alien. Why do those people get healthcare benefits at hospitals paid for by American citizens?"

Trump brags to military leaders about his strikes on boats: "They don't want go fishing. I don't blame them. There will be no fishing today. It's amazing what strength will do."

The look to the camera gives away the game. This "speech" is not for the brass in the room. It's intended for an audience of one incredibly smooth brained, yam-shaded individual.

Just another Monday to notice that #Copilot turned itself on again.

Sorry Microsoft, I have no need for this "feature". I can compose my own emails that people will ignore, thank you very much.

People are looking for protest music and claiming it's not there. Yet at every punk/rock show I got to I feel the resistance in my bones. And I'm old so I feel my bones.

Maybe the issue is that people are looking for darkness instead of hope?

My first two cars were Cherokees ('84 & '91), then I had a Grand Cherokee for 17 years. I loved them.

But not one that looks like a Rav4. I own one of those already and Toyota's hybrid tech and reliability can't be matched.

Sorry, won't be coming back.

JON KARL: What do you make of Pam Bondi saying she's gonna go after hate speech? A lot of your allies say hate speech is free speech

TRUMP: We'll probably go after people like you because you treat me so unfairly. You have a lot of hate in your hate. Maybe they'll have to go after you.
