Like i said. When your party is so out of touch and lost that they couldn’t get together and pick someone better than Kamala. You didn’t even get to choose your Democratic candidate. Trump was so bad and shitty. Should have been easy to find someone to beat him. CRY HARDER.

I'm not one to defend the admin in ANY way, but I read a long thread with a bunch of pilot comments.  Their consensus was that this was a runway incursion by the small Challenger (who likely got a hold-in-place from the tower and kept going anyway), and the 737 pilot did exactly what he/she was trained to do and immediately lifted back up.  Unless we hear otherwise, this was not likely a result of FAA staffing, etc.    

any and all fuckups and disasters are the result of Trump, his stooges, and DOGE until further notice.  We need to drown out the DEI  blame

So Trump is now openly selling visas to immigrants that give him a $5 million bribe?

Finally, a fraud-proof immigration system!

I don't know the percentages, but I suspect less than a majority of "faithful" Americans actually believe what their particular religion teaches.  I won't go so far as to say it's all cultish, but there is absolutely a comfort and routine factor in play for many, and the self-reinforcing sense of superiority can't be ignored.

Hell, I'd say a lot of them don't even KNOW what their faith teaches.  But Jews, Catholics, and other "mainstream" Christians have been pretty reliably socially liberal for a good long time.

Well, except for that abortion thing.

Well, at least this money will go to the government instead of direct investment a la EB5

Ah, yes, because who better to manage public funds than Trump and Elon?

Well, the clergy anyway. I guess.

I thought about that.  Yes, perhaps across the board not completely socially liberal, but at least avoiding abject hatred of poors and other and cruelty toward same.

I get a chuckle, too, at your handle saying "Roll Left" when you actually Roll Reich.

Hey mods, can we get a name change for the Nazi behind this account?

It’s still absolutely astonishing that this man can brazenly give a Nazi salute before the entire world, deny he did so, and have people agree with him.

From my limited experience, not a whole lot of prosperity gospel at mass, either.

You must not have read it correctly. Says it will go towards the deficit. I, for one, believe them.

Research universities have decided not to honor their doctoral commitments. Our oldest is despondent.

Fuck you all, you shitastically moronic Republicans.

what's the backstory here? Funding pulled = research incomplete in last semester = denied doctorate?

 

Terrible news either. Very sorry. Young people are taking it on the chin in every way possible.

Daughter was about to start her doctoral studies; (she’s been doing research at UT Health in SA,) and had a meeting today in which she learned there is an official “pause” at the university she was committed to, while other universities are declaring they will not honor their commitments.

What's Big Balls' take on your daughter's research project?

Did he ever deny it or offer any explanation?

To be clear, I am joking. My work is grant-funded as well and focuses on transition (special education not gender).

Well sorry man, you are fucked as well. They just have not gotten to DOE yet.

And yeah, my kiddo is worried. Graduates in May. Damn good school. STEM, 3.9, double major, etc. Kicked ass in HS and during the last year of Trumps administration received a full NASA scholarship.

Grad school is on hold. No scholarships coming in. She is worried since she has two strikes against the applications for federal assistance for research. Hispanic is strike 2.

I will be ok as my wife (EE degree from UT) is a VP and makes very good money. One more promotion for her and I’m retiring. 


Hopefully, this is just a speed bump for your daughter. Honestly though, going into industry for a bit could be a good thing for her.

Oh I agree. I never advocate for straight through. Certain groups wanted her research to continue. She wanted to head to Uganda and finish a refugee center her Women in Engineering team designed. Wanted to go for at least a year. But nope.

Good thing she knows how to run a greenhouse and grow shit.

small town texas is heavily reliant on govt money / checks 

More or less, yeah, except for the towns with oil, but that's going to go away, too (at least as an industry with job prospects).

Something to keep in mind is that, in some weird ways, small towns might actually be the canaries in the coal mine. Harbingers, so to speak, of the eventual changes to the labor market as AI hits the White Collar class and replaces more of those automated or back-office kinds of jobs in the cities and suburbs (obviously, there are risks to more jobs than those).

But don't worry; this isn't a treatise, pompous lecture, or grand theory but only a thought to seriously consider. It's more or less the same concern that leads to grappling with the possible necessity of UBI over the long-term.

It's widely known here that she was murdered by her wife...a woman who previously served a prison sentence for killing the MAN she was married to.
