Somehow not everyone is aware of fact alluded to below. So one more time: John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett were all on GWBush 2000 'Florida Recount' team. (Which made GWB first prez in 112 yrs to 'win' after losing popular vote. Now they 'impartially' rule on our future.)

Pete is lost in terms of modern war. I use the example of this outgunned Ukrainian army officer who successfully terrorized a Russian unit for weeks because she "did the math." At the time, someone commented, "yeah, in combat, 'I did the math' beats 'I can do 100 pushups' every time."

Ukrainian female soldier: Okay, I said the idea is this: There is enough time to empty one full can of 32 grenades and be gone by the time the return mortar fire reaches us. I did the math.

adapting a gay romance novel about a sport with famously homophobic culture is actually hilarious on some level because now these insanely bigoted athletes are more popular than ever but it’s because people want to imagine them sucking each other’s dicks

It is time for the Cathokic and Mormon chirches- in particular- to step up on this one. It sure seems like the military is now endorsing a very specific type of Protestant worship.

If a very bad thing happens to someone on the grounds of a University, the Uni is not going to refund tuition, period. A. With 10,000s of students there are really fucking strict rules on $$, many related to federal financial aid etc B. Refunding tuition implies legal liability for the bad thing.

Shockingly, City of Alexandria residents want pedestrian bridges, solar over parking. And the West End has issues, largely because there is ancient pile of rail and metro tracks between Duke and Eisenhower. And crossing that is shit tons of $$

The reason the Landmark area of Alexandria has condos at prices that are "reasonable"? Condo fee is $1179 a month. Plus taxes of $336 a month. Plus insurance, plus what you owe on your unit. That said, $18,148 a year (plus mortgage) is not all that bad to live in a resort/paradise
