I’m hollering at my screen… yaaas!

Actress Sheryl Underwood, an Air Force Reserve veteran, is asking the questions we all want answers to.

“Why is this not impeachable? And where are the politicians that say, ‘this dude don’t have it all the way together, he cannot be the commander in chief?’” 🔥

Students Against Cuts NB to rally before budget day With a lacklustre community consultation, a survey involving leading questions and unclear wording, New Brunswick Liberal Premier Susan Holt is

Authorities say a Georgia teacher was killed in a prank gone wrong. A teen is charged with homicide Authorities say a Georgia high school teacher is dead after teenagers pulled a late night prank outside his home.

I appreciate this family’s commitment to refusing to do more damage in the name of punishment:

“Hughes’ family said he knew and loved the five students involved and urged authorities to drop all charges against them.”

So Lindsey wants to make a new NATO with the guys who attacked us on 9/11?

I don’t “doomscroll,” I watch as others “fall, gall themselves, and gash gold-vermillion.”

Just walked by a colleague's classroom after my class finished and he was talking about Elvis, getting blank stares and so he had to ask "Does anyone know who Elvis Presley is?"

It's rough out here on these teaching streets.

Watching Season 2 of Hijack and I find myself hoping Season 3 is just Idris Elba having a relaxing day.

As an IR professor, it's depressing that this is outperforming all others as the best theory of US foreign policy

KALLE ERICSSON AND GUIDE SIERRA SMITH — THEIR SECOND MEDAL OF THE PARALYMPICS

These people are, to be blunt, substantially less intelligent than they believe they are.

Superman flies through a window to confront a criminal: WHO ARE YOU? WHAT DO YOU WANT OF ME? IM GOING TO GIVE YOU THE FATE YOU DESERVE, LUBANE, FOR PROMOTING THIS WAR AND PROFITEERING UPON THE DEATH AND MISERY OF OTHERS:

Morning Bluesky.

Strongly suspect that as this war and its negative effects escalate, we're gonna see a massive increase in disinfo and unsourced "news" - starting right the hell now.

PLEASE don't share "breaking" news from rando or disreputable accounts who provide no links.

Wife to Noah Eunice Buchanan I didna speak whan it bleetert doon. Ma man wis gey taen up wi’ getting us sortit, an’ it wis fell lang afore we had the bastes in an’ the fowl settled. I didna speak whan the watters spewed ower ma rigs o’ corn an’ doon the street intae ma hoose amangst ma rugs an’ the bonny things I had fae ma mither. I didna speak whan I heard ma frien Becca battrin at the howe o’ wir boat, her bairn in her airms, yowlin like een o’ the damned o’Hell. We had linkit doon the years fae bairnie tae wife. Ma bonny hinnie, weel-hertit Becca. I clappit ma haunds tae ma lugs an’ flung ma airms aboot ma laddies, but still I didna speak I didna speak whan the lift grew black an’ blacker an’ there wis naither muin nor sun an’ the cries that had been aa aboot us wir smoored. Nae soond on that black sea but the doonfa, the dreep, the plowt, the pish-oot o’ grey watter on grey watter. I canna speak o’ the things on the watter as the days drave on – swollen an’ blae, wi the sea-maws skirlin an’ pickin, skirlin an’ pickin. Syne whan the well-heid dried an’ the watters sank, the laund, oor bonny laund, slaich an’ slairy wi’ black glaur, an’ oorsels alane. But whan I gang the low road on the hinmaist day an’ I climb the steps for my tryst wi’ God I will look the Almichty in the face – an’ I will hae ma say.

I didna speak
whan it bleetert doon.
Ma man wis gey taen up wi’ getting us
sortit, an’ it wis fell lang afore we had
the bastes in an’ the fowl settled…

The felony murder rule has been used in many states to give death sentences to people who did not kill anyone & who did not intend for anyone to die. I don't have statistics but I'd bet a lot of money that most of these convictions are of minorities. It's a law that desperately needs changed. 1/

An obsessed insect hunter: The creepy-crawly origins of daylight saving As Europe's clocks move forward, daylight hours extend into the evening. For one early proponent, this had a key advantage: more time to hang out with bugs.

Daylight savings time was invented by a bug guy so he could have more time to look at bugs and I think that's one of the best reasons anything's ever been invented.
