Opinion: The most powerful sword the left wields against Trump and is omission. Selective silence. Hide the positives, and the American people never hear them.

my husband started going on a rant about how people misunderstand what the International Criminal Court does and doesn't do; he said something like "for example, if I went and did a terrorism here in the Netherlands, I wouldn't end up in the Hague, I'd end up in..." and he realized his mistake […]

Reminder, social media bans for kids are nothing to do with protecting kids, and everything to do with removing anonymity from the web.

Obviously.

Remember, kids: In proper scientific terms, an attempt to explain observable phenomena is called a "hypothesis". It is called a "theory" when it fits all the observable facts, and there is no observable evidence to the contrary. We don't call it a "truth" because there's always a chance that […]

Marvel Tŏkon is reported to block Linux users... Second time that ArcSys blocks a game for Linux (the first being Dragon Ball FighterZ), even though Easy AntiCheat can have it enabled with a toggle (do they assume it's too unsafe?) #Tokon
