To put Trump’s war in perspective. It cost me $14 to drive to Fort Collins for a catering gig before the war, and $22 yesterday. It cost me 20% more for chorizo, and tortillas for breakfast burritos. That means I lost money on a gig I booked 2 months ago.

From hair length on boys, to measuring skirts on girls, to suppressing speech of kids and on and on, you can always know there is a school administrator somewhere that is clueless, and thinks their oversight trumps basic humanity.

I don't see anyone talking about the obvious. This Trump dividend is silly because there isn't enough money. $5000 times a conservatively low number of eligible people is over 1 trillion dollars. That trillion dollar number is slightly under half of all income taxes collected.
Math of Trump alleged dividend: 
Adults in United States: > 260 million
Dividend: $5,000
Assume: 230 million eligible

$5,000 times 230,000,000 equals

1.15 Trillion dollars

I did the full mydialect.us and got a slightly different result. So I was born in the New Mexico/West Texas red area but left at age 2 and never returned. My parents were from a middle blue area and growing up people said I sounded like that. 🤷‍♀️
My dialect map with "Most like" centered around El Paso, TX and New Mexico.

My dialect quiz. Wow. So I was born at the edge of the dark red for sure but I was only there 2 years. Zero relatives from there. Parents are from yellow/pink edge 1200 miles north. Grew up pink area 1000+ miles south of that. I love NM but have no real connection. Fascinating!
My dialect quiz results. New Mexico very strong. Boston and Connecticut weakestDialect quiz cities. Most: Albuquerque, San Francisco and LA. Least: Boston, Portland ME, and New Orleans.

From Apt-2C. It’s so funny…in 1985 I did not see this episode of Carson. I never thought he talked about me & mom on a talk show ever. He liked to keep his family private. I played a punk rock Girl Scout. My punchline: “Here’s your fucking cookies.” And then I stomp on them.

We put discredited ideas in the trash *all the time*. In fact the scientific method is *precisely* about putting things in the trash. Science can only *disconfirm* claims about the universe but it can never prove them. All claims are *tentatively* true but all bullshit is permanently false.

When I was getting my first masters degree I took a class on decision theory (essentially simulating probablistic models of engineering and business decisions) and the gap between how we make decisions and how we *should* make decisions is enormous.

Dallas faces inflection point with stagnating population
North Texas is growing and Dallas’ financial sector is booming. But the city is losing residents and businesses — and two major sports franchises are departing the urban core.

James Thomas, CEO of Southern Dallas Magazine, coming out to support James Talarico. #Texas #Talarico
Screenshot of James Thomas, CRO of Southern Dallas Magazine saying, "I’m going to say this and after this, I’m done. In November you have to vote for either Talarico or Ken Paxton. What I know about the Republican Party is that they vote for their candidate even if they don’t like them that much. So if Democrats stay home and don’t vote for Talarico, Ken Paxton will win, period. It’s not hard, it’s just simple math. Some people won’t vote for him because he’s the white guy who beat the black woman. Their mind is made up. Jasmine lost and so they are still upset and figure the best thing to do is not vote at all. That’s their thinking. It’s not mine. I’m voting for him. I cannot and will not give Ken Paxton my vote."

Obviously. But again, you don’t need to demean Balogun. This site is so anti-man, anti-American it’s obnoxious. You can be progressive, support women and also support the USMNT as they didn’t choose the politics of any of this.

This Danville, VA city council candidate made a very dramatic video about sidewalks and public safety, and I love it and him. Worrying about a possible milkshake duck situation, I looked at his FB page, but he seems ok. Juneteenth celebrations, community outreach, Methodists. A solid old gent.

Juneteenth: How news of the Emancipation Proclamation spread through the South
While some enslaved people did not know about Lincoln's order, many learned of it while the fighting was still ongoing through informal networks, rumors and sometimes from slaveholders themselves.

She Faced a Life-Threatening Miscarriage. Under Arkansas’ Abortion Ban, Even Calls to the Governor’s Office Didn’t Help.
Her case shows how abortion bans have left hospital lawyers, not doctors, deciding who gets care — and how lawmakers and regulators have failed to change that.
