Can this be a solution?

People been trying to warn the public about this man for a decade and a half but her the fuck we still are

“Studies have been conducted into opening other fronts where the enemy has little experience & would be highly vulnerable,” supreme leader Khamenei said. “Their activation will take place if the state of war persists.” (Bloomberg)

The hubris of American foreign policy means never acknowledging/comprehending that actions taken abroad create ramifications at home.

My parents used to live in Kew Gardens and Manhattan. They told me that they never went south of Union Square. “Why would we do that?!"

I’ve lived in NYC for almost two decades and I’m constantly amazed how a noisy part of the country will consume conservative media about us, spend a week in Midtown Disney World w/ each other, and then be scared of taking a subway north of Rockefeller Center.

Xenophobia is a cancer.

I know this community very well. The Shenandoah club the Temple Israel statement refers to as providing food and shelter during this attack is the club established by Iraqi Chaldeans. This is really beautiful interfaith solidarity in action.

Being terminally online during the pandemic really hurt these guys.

No-one says ‘Fast food isn’t going away, so let’s work out how to incorporate it into your diet’, yet we are often treated to the same non sequitur when it comes to AI

Like "Neil Postman book covers flashing before my eyes” angry.

I got so, so angry reading this article.

As a nation, we’re cooked. It’s every family for itself, at this point. Teach your kids media/tech literacy, inculcate a true love for reading and ideas, instill critical thinking skills, keep them human with the humanities. Gov x tech x media wants pliable voters and workers, not free-thinkers.

*SNORT*

why didn't the eagles just bring frodo and the oil over the canal

All I am saying is that all those silly romance girlies and their pop-up lefist supply depots are apparently doing better at logistics than the world's largest military.

It’s incredible how you can write and rewrite a whole section of a chapter, put it aside for a few week, and returning to it, realize that it is so much chaff and unsorted wheat. Then, grinding and mixing it, you knead it into something that seems like it might be dough that’s worth baking.

Perfect.

I’m coining the term “federal entertainment” to mean our government understanding media and sports spectacle as providing models and "best practices" for policy and propaganda.

3) Doubles down on Christian Zionism, of course.
4) Accuses Carlson of antisemitism, of course.
5) Accuses Carlson of being an unregistered agent of foreign (i.e., MUSLIM OH NO!) governments. That's a new one.

EXCLUSIVE: Ted Cruz Says Tucker Carlson Targeting Evangelicals, Raises Alarm Over Possible Foreign Influence In an exclusive interview, Senator Ted Cruz sat down with CBN News to discuss the war in Iran, Israel’s role in the war,

Cruz's response is telling. I think we can understand this as the Christian Zionist game plan.

1) Immediately goes to evangelical persecution, of course.
2) Implicitly asserts evangelicals as the only true Christians, of course.

Why would the NYC-Real-Estate-Developer-In-Chief care about housing?

"I don't get it. Why are they confessing?"

"They're not confessing. They're bragging"

Waging war is so much more attractive than fighting poverty.

Some folks treated me like a naive child for believing we had the money to cancel a portion of student loan debt

The difference between the various kinds consists in the time they take to ripen-the early kind ripens in 60 days-and also in their size. Ulpicum also comes in this class, the plant called by the Greeks Cyprian garlic, or by others antiscorodon; it holds a high rank among the dishes of the country people, particularly in Africa, and it is larger than garlic; when beaten up in oil and vinegar it swells up in foam to a surprising size.

pliny the elder DID mention aioli in his historia naturalis! i found the quote!!! his contemporary columella also mentions beating garlic and oil with a pestle but suggests administering it via nostril to those afflicted with tongue distemper, so im discounting that. for ONCE a primary source!!!!

overlooking a series of circular water filled tanks of a sewage treatment plant at night. lights line a long brick building on the horizon as a blue-black sky is stark behind a veil of thin puffy clouds in the distance.

good night, sewers.
good night, streams.
good night, operations and maintenance teams.
good night, settling tanks.
good night, stream banks.
good night, engineers, scientists, crews, managers, inspectors, analysts too.
a good night for us means serving with care.

good night, sewers, everywhere.

Pitch an unnecessary sequel
