  1. What's embarrassing to me almost as much as the acceptance of the compact is the immediate acceptance of the compact. MIT says its bit, and obviously I like their response, but even if it went the other way I'd at least be able to assume they sat and thought about it and weighed pros and cons. It never occurred to us to even think. We just act and make it clear the politicization is the goal.
  2. portation secretary Pete Buttigeig!
  3. Wonder the same. What is the legality of a state authority arresting a federal actor there?

  9. those are pretty embarrassing comments from bill burr. no one is saying they don't have starbucks, dude. the issues are a little heavier. i'm in favor of a bit of a cultural exchange and want to encourage Saudis in taking steps to westernize, so i don't really oppose our comedians doing this stuff. but he doesn't need to come back here and tell us they are totally on the up and up. the whitewashing is exactly what everyone's concern was.
  10. its just a requirement that every chapter of your biology book ends with the phrase ". . . unless the bible says otherwise."
  11. govt shutdown + revised negative job growth = S&P ATH
  12. this part certainly doesn't raise any red flags.
  13. NYT: The worst part is the hypocrisy. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/world/middleeast/saudi-comedy-festival-riyadh-free-speech.html?unlocked_article_code=1.qU8.f3q2.01EPtUVhFOvV&smid=url-share free article.
