If a Dem wins the presidency in 2028, they should rename the White House Ballroom “The Ida B. Wells Memorial Ballroom.” And then put gold (leaf) plaques on the back of every chair to dedicate them to the memory of a great civil rights leader. That would cause a satisfying kerfuffle on the Right.

This has been clear for a few months now. Trump lacks the ability and credibility to agree to anything with Iran at this point, so it’ll have to fall to his successor. And if it’s a Dem, the right will pillory them for fixing what Trump broke.

This is Louie. He got a really bad haircut. And also a villain origin story. 13/10 (TT: maddiehilaski)
a cavapoo with long hair in various shades of gray sits and poses for the camera. his mouth is open and his pink tongue sticks out, his curly hair situated every which way on the top of his head. text on the image says, "the dog i dropped off."a photo of the cavapoo with text that reads, "the dog i picked up." the pup's luscious fur has been trimmed all the way down, leaving him with a skinny body, but fluffy ears and tail. the pup looks at the camera with an uncanny human expression of disgust. he looks very angry about his new hairdo.

There's a reason the White House didn't reveal the text of the "agreement" when making their big press splash announcing their agreement: It's a cup of tea without the bag. Congrats to the journos who breathlessly reported on a US-UK deal that isn't. You got played (again).

Best 🔥 Harvard posts Education Secretary Linda McMahon’s letter correcting her grammar and spelling— then they posted it on social media.

If a foreign adversary really wanted to undermine American manufacturers, they would make it so that every factory in the world -- except those in the United States -- can import the equipment they need from China without paying a 145% up charge.

I just re-read the story of Abraham and Isaac. I've got to think that they walked for a long time down Mount Mori'ah in total silence until Abraham looked at Isaac and said, "Let's not tell your mom about this."

Ultimately, and I mean this, Americans have to stop being giant babies about paying taxes. taxes are the price of a functional society. Everything we complain about in US...the disorder, the mess, the lack of services and support is because we don't pay taxes.

An isolated black and white photo of John Waters wearing a suit with one hand held up holding sunglasses as if he's just taken them off. In the white space to his left is the quote:

SO MANY GREAT PEOPLE ARE DEAD, AND SO MANY ASSHOLES I KNOW ARE STILL ALIVE. KARMA'S BULLSHIT. I WISH IT WAS TRUE, BUT IT AIN'T. – JOHN WATERS

one thing i’m stuck on is this idea that “masculine” energy means license to act like a chud in public, as opposed to more traditional notions of public masculinity, such as those that put a premium on the performance of integrity, honesty, honor and generosity.

Bob Uecker hit .200 over six years as a backup catcher and turned that into 10 television shows, six movies, a fairly regular spot with Johnny Carson and 54 years calling games for the Brewers. That's quite a life.

Please stop using “revisionist history” as a stand-in for falsehoods. Any worthwhile work of history uses untapped sources, novel methodologies and/or new connections across fields to improve, alter and, yes, revise our understanding of history. Truly revisionist history is a *good* thing.

For Maths fans, 2025 is a square. 45² = 45 x 45 = 2025 Also, 9² x 5² = 2025 40² + 20² + 5² = 2025 My favourite? 1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³ = 2025 #Mathematics #teaching #education
