Interesting side of Hitler I was unaware of "Arguably Adolf Hitler’s greatest passion and pastime outside of his quest for world domination was his obsession with architecture and urban design." Here he is with a model of the 330-foot high triumphal arch he wanted. hitler-pics.com/2023/05/06/h...
PLYMOUTH, Mass. (AP) — Judge declares mistrial in Lindsay Clancy case after jury cannot reach a verdict over responsibility in child killings.
Getting real goddamn tired of being scolded by people on social media to vote in person when THE WHOLE WEST COAST VOTES BY MAIL, let alone my entire state. Eight states total are entirely mail-in. Neighborhood polling places do not exist here. You're not presenting solutions for any of us.
1/ Republicans need you to fear a powerful “radical left.” But look at who actually holds power: who writes laws, controls agencies & can arrest people. America may not be watching two sides radicalize. We may be watching one side invent its mirror image. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy
Just wait until those healthcare cuts take affect during Democratic reign of the Senate/House of course. Dems need to be talking about that every. Single. Day. Drum it into their heads, it’s all Trump’s fault but scheduled so it wI’ll look like Dems did it! 🤬
My dad and stepmother have long worked in medical transcription and they had to take extensive classes in medicine and biology to be able to know which of several similar sounding words a doctor was saying in context.

It's worth noting that this isn't a random number but a goal that would simply restore the court to an earlier norm in which there's one justice for each of the judicial circuits. We used to have nine, we now have thirteen. The people defending the current setup have the tougher case to make here.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 5d agoRep. James Clyburn says he supports expanding the Supreme Court: "13 is a pretty good number. A baker's dozen would be a good number to have on the Court."
Olivia Miles sets the franchise record for points as a rookie which moves her to 2nd in WNBA history behind Caitlin
Ron and Cassie DeSantis: These two crooks stole $10 million from a settlement with a charity, wired it to Cassie’s fake “charity,” laundered it through two puppet organizations, and then used it for political ads in an election year. They should be in jail.
As a person who works in the office of a UCLA department, 100%. They want to hobble public universities. They are Kathy Bates and they are putting a block of wood between our ankles and many people are helping them.
Matthew Kirschenbaum@mkirschenbaum.bsky.social · last wk.A 30% cut to international enrollment is lights out at many public R1’s. And: once again, this is not bungling on the part of the administration, or unintended consequences. It is *precisely* the intention.
this is a pretty wild exchange with someone seemingly in a moderator position

I've advocated for open source software – proven, reliable, inexpensive – in HE for over a decade and interpreted the lack of take up as an indication of a risk-averse culture in university IT and management. Then commercial companies come along with "AI" and risk assessments go out the window.

Do we really think Trump is creating these prompts or is Natalie?

An awesome experienced writer friend got a pitch sold after almost two years of pitches and meetings and rejections and silence. I was so inspired by her I got up this AM and wrote a new scene for my play.
Five years ago, I wrote about how the right was using “girls sports” as a wedge issue against the left. Even then it was a few years old. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Besides the obvious dystopia, it’s also really obvious that ICE has too much money to spend.
Christopher Webb@cwebbonline.com · 6d agoWe are rapidly devolving into a dystopian state. ICE is ordering $2 MIL worth of robot dogs that can open doors, track people and see 360 degrees.
Sophie Cunningham scored 1 point in 14 minutes for the Fever tonight. Thought I'd share these stats, since she wants us to talk about basketball now.
I never would have predicted that cutting 20% of the staff at the federal agency that makes sure our food is safe would result in a bunch of our food being declared unsafe.
In 1976, during an unforgettable episode of her syndicated television variety show Dolly!, Dolly Parton welcomed her close friends and fellow music icons Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt to share the stage.
As horrible as Milo Y. is, I would not wish ICE detention on anyone. I like to think maybe he’ll learn something?
Beautiful night shot of Studio City Theatre and marquee showing #FilmNoir 🎬 The Killers (1946), Studio City, California. 🎞🍿
There is so much amazing crop art this year at the Minnesota State Fair focused on the resistance to the ICE occupation we faced, this one in particular had me choked up.
Live report from the Minnesota State Fair, located in the heart of American democracy, where there’s an ICE Out adaptation of Picasso’s Guernica made entirely from crops
These people had protected status. They lived here legally. They worked, they paid taxes. They made lives. Raised families. Now we’ve dehumanized them. Ripped away that protection and told them to get out. This is a stain on the soul of this Nation.
this is so incredible I can’t stop laughing because he forgot to include Reagan
