The Talmud teaches that anyone who sustains one soul, has sustained an entire world. For generations, Jewish New Yorkers have sustained our city. Today, we are launching the first-ever municipal Strategy to Combat Antisemitism.

I forget which it was, but some cyberpunk work referred to stuff like Muse and Friend and Legend as "fetishes" and I think that's a nice little overloading to go with "pervert glasses."

Relatedly, my Amazon recommendations got VERY interesting for a while after I purchased some pineapple-themed items. Didn't help that the unrelated significances are both concentrated among middle-aged couples.

@aoc.bsky.social: The best thing that we can do to rein in runaway costs at private institutions is by having tuition free public colleges and universities. “For anyone who wants to say that that’s pie in the sky and unrealistic… this is literally what baby boomers gave themselves.”

It’s always been my view that she should run for Senate. She can handily win and keep this seat. And she’d be the right hand a democratic president needed and a legendary lioness of the senate besides. She’s shown real talent as a legislator & the caucus respects her.

That's the whole context. I think it is important to be angry at anyone who even attempts to think about collaborating with terrible people who are responsible for killing children and I do like seeing WotC get pushback for even a gentle breeze of HP.

This is a 30-year old "trend." I took my first AP in 10th grade, and except for Spanish, 11/12 was all AP for me. There's no reason I couldn't have taken APUSH earlier instead of taking "regular honors" first; the only roadblock is you need calc for AP Physics and Chem, and should have Chem for Bio.

Every article about this place is like this, and I tell you: they undersell it. Stuff that's usually mediocre and LOOKS typical (corn salad, coleslaw) is dynamite, every dish was excellent, and the vibes and friendliness of the hosting were off the chart. High recommend.

This, and all bullying is a tool of the adults in charge. The kids that get bullied are never the ones the adults like, they're fed to bullies because the adults aren't allowed to beat them anymore.

Read this again when someone tells you that the democrats are gearing up to go transphobic or don’t fight for us.
Do they settle because it costs a lot of money to litigate? Because they're at risk of losing federal funding? What are the ways that the Justice Department is able to coerce these hospitals?
Rep. Grace Meng: I mean, all of the above, right? I'm the top Democrat on the Appropriations
subcommittee that oversees all the DOJ funding. And we have seen this as we've been negotiating our budgets with them. They tried to include over 50 anti-GBTQ riders, what we call poison pills, into the budget. And we, as House Democrats, were able to take them all out. But they wanted to insert 52 pieces of wording and legislation that would have restricted medically necessary health care for transgender people, basically allowing taxpayer-funded discrimination against same-sex couples, blocking any non-discriminatory and DEl-type efforts.
But they are persistent, so they try it through the budget process, and they can't do that. Obviously, they're trying to cheat by coercing these hospitals:

Carlson's 2024 pitch was that Trump would be the strict father coming home to spank his unruly daughter and Carlson is mad that instead he hit her a couple times then grabbed a few beers from the fridge and turned on the TV. His critique is that Trump is insufficiently authoritarian.

To be more clear: the solution was SUPPOSEDLY "beat up the guys who broke them" but was mostly "beat up the folks living in the houses with the broken windows." ie people living on the street are not window-breakers but those with badly broken windows, and the "solution" is to cart them off.

For all WotC's sins, I really appreciate the Play/Collector booster segregation. Even the end of Set Boosters is, I think, good -- it's very clear what are game pieces and what are lottery tickets and I can happily buy the former without worrying about serialized showcase binaural hyperfoils.
