Anyway, if you have to cut off family, I know damn good and well that it wasn't done casually. Speaking as a Mom--do what you have to, to live your live with as much peace and happiness as you can. Your parents ought to want that for you, it's not your fault if they don't.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

The grand bargain of immigration policy in Canada was about recruiting future Canadians. Not creating a permanent underclass of low wage workers with no path to PR so Canadian Tire and Tim Hortons can increase their margins. And I think the public saw that.

Q: You posted that you intend to ban CNN, Politico, and MS Now from the White House. Every president takes an oath to uphold the Constitution, which includes the First Amendment. How do you justify this? TRUMP: Because they're fake news. There may be others to join them.

If NFL owners want to censor who performs in stadiums, they shouldn't ask taxpayers to help build them. You can't take public subsidies for stadiums then use them as your personal editorial board. Pay for it all out of your own pocket and hold as many Kid Rock concerts as you want to.

In its history, NATO has "shown up" precisely once, for just one country. The United States. Because the United States came under attack on 9/11. NATO is a defense organization. It does not follow you into wars that you start.

I appreciate that Dolly Parton refused to participate in "dress respectability" and, by her own account, modeled her aesthetic after a town "tramp," who she thought was beautiful. She separated aesthetics from character and understood "classiness" to be about how you treat people, not how you dress.

Americans hear "51st state" as Trump trolling. Canadians hear it as an existential threat to their sovereignty. That gap in perception is why Carney can't afford to look conciliatory, even if the economics of retaliation don't add up. This isn't just a trade war anymore.

Trump is promising to boost the U.S. economy by making it harder for Americans to trade with the rest of the world. He is also promising to destroy Iran's economy by making it harder for Iranians to trade with the rest of the world.

Here is yet one more example. Miller's silhouette is similar to the first Palmolive bottle, whereas he would benefit from having more padding and extension, which would create the second Palmolive bottle.
Two Palmolive dish soap bottles. One is very rounded at the bottom and narrow at the top. The second has a bit more width at the top.

Just a reminder, the company you work for does not care about you. You could drop dead today while working and they will replace you in a short amount of time. I say this only because we collectively need to stop giving these companies all of our energy even when we’re off the clock.

President of MIT not mincing words today in @statnews.com www.statnews.com/2026/05/27/s...
So let me say it as clearly as I can: Without basic scientific research, supported by the kind of farsighted public investment that allows large-scale, undirected, curiosity-driven inquiry, the scientific pipeline will run dry.
In daily life, people may not feel the effects right away, or even in 10 years. But we will feel it. And when someone we love needs therapies that could have emerged but didn't or when other countries now
investing in science can launch new science-based industries or run their societies on vast resources of fusion energy or reap the benefits of quantum computing power or advanced medical breakthroughs, America will wish it sustained its leadership in scientific research here and now.
Sally Kornbluth is the president of MIT.

LLMs impress the writers who do not want to write, the coders who don't want to code, the researchers who don't want to research, and the lawyers that don't want to actually understand case law. Those that desperately tell you how powerful Al is and that you simply must use it are looking for you to validate their own laziness or distaste for effort, and those who are impressed with LLMs' outputs tend to be people with low standards.
