Methinks Pete Hegseth is looking for his next gig already and it involves working for a tech defense contractor. Which is why it should be known that the Ossoff Protectorate will not do business with companies who employ Trump world principals.

You made today a special day, just by being you. There’s no one else in the whole world just like you. People can like you (& God loves you) just the way you are.

I hope that every choice reflects my faith; I confess to almighty God and to you my brothers and sisters [and siblings] that this is not the case. There are lines I hope that I would die rather than cross, bc of my faith. AND YET I would be EXTREMELY uncomfortable saying "I am certain God exists."

Hay dos maneras de hacer política: la de joderle la vida a la gente o la de poner soluciones que mejoren su vida. A los primeros no puede salirles gratis.

In the future being able to remember anything from books or articles you have read in the past instead of asking an LLM to pull it up and simplify the language for you will make you look like this.

The lede is like something a soldier might have written decades after storming Omaha Beach, and having lived long enough to tell his grandchildren about how he somehow survived that fateful day.
For years, the first thing I did upon awakening was check Twitter to see if I had been canceled. After a quick name search to ensure that there was only the usual amount of frothing denunciation, I could get on with my day.

Mark Carney is aggressively and radically reorganizing what Canada is around the military. He’s draining the public purse and enforcing mass layoffs across the public sector to do so.

much left posting is only slightly less intellectually dishonest (by moral default) than the right’s.The difference is the right knowingly wields bad faith to gain power. Instead, the left can be reactively smug and dismissive (even oftentimes illiterate) while losing power. A website to behold.

I will just add that when I wrote about being Annie Dillard's student, I tried to rescue her class from being lost, as it were. Such as I could. I've taught a lot of what she taught me over the years and most of it has held up.
