  1. Past hour
  2. maybe deciding to allow giant digital media corporations to exploit the neurochemical drama of our children for profit was a bad call
  3. I really don't see what there is to stop them from breaking this "requirement". Who is gonna stop them? SCOTUS? LOL.
  4. I can't get over this particular part as well: "I know this is the concern for some of you. Do you know why I'm not concerned because 1) we will never agree to the definition of when we get there so we will never get there" A constant reminder that a significant number of people truly believe that "perception is reality." This is just a massive failure of critical thinking and basic reasoning. Is it just a form of denial? Deep down are these people scared but unwilling to accept truth as a survival instinct?
  5. Also it takes a very special accountant to acknowledge the political independence of the Fed yet blame a particular president because they're a trained grievance monkey, and the appointment of the Fed Chair predates the president they blame anyway. As do most of the "free money" programs.
  6. Always doing what's best for the country. Right, @RollLeft?
  7. He’ll do it posthumously.
  8. If there is anyone who has shown over the years that they have the skillet to run a sports league, it's definitely Donald J. Trump.
  9. His pedophile attorney probably just instructed him to plead those 3 to any questions to cover his bases.
  10. You give him way too much credit for a symbolic nothingness.
  11. His last WWE appearance. So good.
  12. I wouldn't write off its potential impact that quickly. For one thing, it already mirrors much of what the House seems to be trying to do with the SCORE Act, and I'm not sure that SCORE would generally be able to hold up well in court in different times. Now, with legislative and executive branches a little more aligned, it could have a lot more teeth. This is close enough to CR as it is, and I'm trying to stick more to general facts and avoid value judgments. But I think folks can agree -- regardless of where anyone is on the political spectrum -- that we're not operating under the same political rules this year that we were last year. We've already seen how this administration has reshaped, at least temporarily, the executive's ability to implement actual changes in things like the size of government departments, funding for science, and how DEI is implemented (in this case, no longer implemented) in educational settings. And universities, facing declining enrollments and unilateral cuts in scientific funding, consider themselves especially vulnerable to the will of the administration. If anyone here has been paying attention to the way Columbia, for instance, has approached pressure from the administration, it's pretty obvious that universities are very attentive to what the administration wants. Only a very few universities -- such as Harvard -- have fought back. The real questions come from how this will all play out with regard to the interactions among the administration, Congress, the NCAA, the big schools, the small schools, and both courts and lawyers. My guess is that between this order and SCORE, there will be more immediate shakeups than we anticipated, and even if folks try to dial it back a little when we get further down the road, the explosions will have already occurred and there will be a lot to clean up.
  13. Doesn't really clarify anything, but I think he says "tractors."
  14. Perhaps that’s why he said he’d go to prison if Kamala was elected
  15. He should go to federal prison for the rest of his life for that, but he won't.
  16. Simmer down, it only took one guy to whip all of their asses.
  17. I got high for my first, and so far only, MRI last week. Wasn’t bad at all.
  18. Looks like it was just dug out from some rubble in the Los Angeles Palisades fire area.
  19. From that article, netted out? Rural folk suck.
  20. He loved his Rocky
