I wonder if this is what's going to finally push the US to adopt some sort of UBI. American society is not going to be able to handle white collar work becoming obsolete
When Harry Truman died, they found this letter in the back of his desk from the parents of a deceased Korean War soldier, refusing the Purple Heart their son was posthumously awarded. I always thought it spoke volumes of Truman's character that he kept it until he died.
"The buck stops here"
I feel like it's only a matter of time before we get another Black Sox scandal. Sports gambling was a taboo for a reason
Eh, better than "in God we trust" imo
Very, VERY disrespectful!
The FIFA Peace Prize just doesn't mean what it used to ๐

The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent, as the saying goes
Tolkien was really devout in his Christian beliefs, though, which influenced LOTR. If I'm remembering the lore correctly, men's mortality was always framed as a blessing because they had an afterlife they'd go to, whereas elves did not. If an elf did die, they'd just reincarnate back into the world
Democrats really need to add DC and Puerto Rico next time they get a trifecta. It's almost always a horrific Senate map for the party, like even in a wave election it's unlikely they take back the senate
Well, at least Trump was kind enough to ban us trans people from military service ๐
Shit, he's threatened both of our *co-hosts* with invasion in the past year
Yeah, Trump might be able to unilaterally start a regional conflict, but he can't unilaterally end it. And he definitely can't unilaterally convince a bunch of civilians that it's safe to pilot giant tankers filled with flammable material through the Straight of Hormuz
The prophecy must be fulfilled
I'm the opposite, I can't handle 1st person perspective in books, just feels off.
That's where I heard it as well lol
About time
Also the cha cha slide bit from SNL lol

I mean, compared to the things he normally does, that's pretty harmless, so sure, go nuts man
In the sense that it will accelerate the push towards adapting electric vehicles, I guess
I'm not mad, please don't put in the newspaper that I got mad
I was about to say, we definitely bombed Japan into unconditional surrender without setting boots on their mainland. It just took the willingness to drop multiple nukes on civilian targets

Nah, pretty slow news day
Tommy Tuberville is my guess
IIRC, usually when people detransition the overwhelming reason is because they can't handle the discrimination they faced
Vietnam had a draft, I'd certainly call that material
It really is something that Trump has two different cabinet officials that don't believe in germs (the other being RFK)
I'm sure Toth is horrific in his own right, but that's still really goddamn funny
