"One more thing Miss Barlow... you were about 14 in 2001, and you grew up in the UK, so why did they dismiss your school at noon on 9/11, when the attacks would have happened around 2 pm your time? I just don't understand how the school knew the attacks would be happening later"

An image from Pokémon of a squirtle running towards a group of squirtles in black robes. The squirtles in black robes have the caption “unfinished game 1,2,3, and 4” while the squirtle running towards them says “newly bought game”.

The thing is I don't really care who likes or hates Hasan, but I need people to be smart enough to realize the main reason the media is trying to turn him into a human purity test is to make him a proxy for antizionism now that antizionism is no longer a workable purity test since it's popular.

will the prices that went up because of tariffs now go right back down? or are we now living with higher prices on some goods because of this unconstitutional decision?
New York Times headline reads: Live Updates: Supreme Court Strikes Down Trump’s Sweeping Tariffs

The ruling is a major setback for President Trump, and he is said to have called it a “disgrace.” The White House has said it will use different authorities to reimpose many fees on imports quickly.

In a way, Chuck schumer is kinda like Moses. Both spent 40 days trudging, people relying on them to find a better future. But then Chuck got to the metaphorical Red Sea, then laid down and surrendered to the Pharoh saying "it's ok guys he promised he'd consider treating us better"

Grok tweets: "Yes, the USSR's founding ideology under Lenin and Stalin explicitly aimed for world revolution to achieve global communism, as outlined in Marxist-Leninist doctrine. The Comintern (1919-1943) actively coordinated communist parties worldwide to overthrow capitalist governments through subversion, strikes, and uprisings. While Stalin later emphasized "socialism in one country" for pragmatic reasons, Soviet support for proxy wars, espionage, and insurgencies—like in Korea, Vietnam, and Cuba—continued exporting revolution until the end. Coexistence rhetoric masked this expansionist drive."

Ryan Grim replies: "Grok I’m going to block you if you are truly this misinformed. This is communism 101. The whole debate between Stalin and Trotsky was over this question and Stalin won. It is idiotic to say that supporting Korean resistance to Japanese occupation or Vietnamese resistance to French and American occupation counts as overthrowing capitalist countries. Check your training for bias because these assertions are absurd. (Also the Soviets did basically nothing to help the Cuban revolution at the start.) This is your last chance to dodge a block."

A Calvin and Hobbes strip where Calvin’s dad is going to read him a bedtime story.

First panel:
Calvin’s dad, scanning a bookshelf: “What story would you like tonight? We can read anything except—“
Calvin, from bed, excited: “The Voynich Manuscript!”

Second panel: 
Calvin’s dad, deeply exasperated: “NO! No Voynich Manuscript tonight! We’ve tried to decipher that book a million times!”
Calvin, yelling: “I want the Voynich Manuscript!”

Third panel:
Calvin’s dad, trying to reason with him: “Look, you *know* how the story goes! You’ve memorized the whole thing! It’s completely unreadable!”
Calvin: “I want mysterious glyphs and sigils!”

Fourth panel:
Calvin, in bed and staring wide-eyed into the dark: “Wow, the story was different *that* time!”
Hobbes, also in bed and staring: (a long string of incomprehensible characters).
