you're not making it because the question you're really trying to answer is about the acceptable aesthetics of death, not about its purpose.

My wife was coincidentally listening to that while I was working with Chiwetel a few yrs ago. He generously recorded a fake & very silly passage personalized for her and then I went home & was like “Let’s put that book you’re listening to on!” and played the bit and she freaked out.

Trump ordered Michael Reinoehl's murder and bragged about it after the deed was done. Biden's DOJ had 4 years to investigate the targeted assassination of an American citizen on American soil and did nothing.

Trump’s DOJ asked courts to dismiss consent decrees negotiated with the Biden DOJ & signed by cities in cases where the DOJ found patterns & practices of discriminatory policing, including the Louisville Metro PD where DOJ found misconduct among ofcrs involved in the killing of Breonna Taylor.

I’ll put a finer point on it: The actual solution to our birth rate “problem” is substantially increasing immigration. Lyman Stone is a virulent racist and nativist bigot, so he rejects or ignores this solution in favor of pushing heterosexual Christian couples to reproduce more. That’s my response.
So far the Bluesky response to my NYT op Ed has been:
1) Lyman has bad tweets
2) cancel Lyman
3) it's good birth rates are falling
4) nobody should have kids
Notably missing as a response:
Any evidence my thesis is wrong.

So let me have this straight. They are going to have the 80 year old President speak in 90 heat index at 10 pm for 45 minutes to an hour, then effectively gas the entire tidal basin (where said octogenarian has been speaking in the heat) with fumes from exploding ordinance? Did I get that right?

For more than two decades, Mona Khalil protected the endangered sea turtles that laid their eggs on a beach in Lebanon and kept predators away from the hatchlings. On June 4, she was wounded in an Israeli airstrike in southern Lebanon, and on Friday, she died of her injuries, a close friend said.

If anti-Ref votes coalesce behind strongest anti-Ref candidate as happened in Makerfield, Gorton, Caerphilly that Reform number comes down very fast. Reform 27% could mean 300 seats or 50. All depends on how the other 73% behave locally, which these projections can’t tell you.

I think having the tournament hosted almost exclusively in Wembley size stadiums helps the teams play big (it feels like there’s always open spaces to run to) and makes for a lot of very entertaining matches. The spread out fanbases though sap the atmosphere a bit.

Yeah, there we go. I'm a little obsessed with tracking ignored warnings from scientists as they are vindicated.
In March 2025, funding was cut by USDA for animal disease control and prevention, including Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza, New World Screwworm, and African Swine Fever from several agencies, including the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). That funding supported more than 180 outbreak investigations and responses in 22 countries and helped build the capacities of over 160 laboratories in testing, biosafety, quality assurance, and workforce development. Specifically, funding was targeted to monitoring and responding to New World Screwworm, preventing the spread of the disease to the U.S.

Kushner-Witkoff "CEO diplomacy" never worked, except at soliciting bribes. Failed badly in Ukraine. Failed badly with Iran. Only supposed success is Gaza, and that's because media pretends ongoing deadly violence is a ceasefire, an ethnic cleansing real estate scheme is peace, and didn't follow up.
