When something plays into an idea that also happens to be objectively true, that's "defeatist" to me.

Similarly, New York Times columnist Jamelle Bouie told Christie in his “Museum of Twitter” series that Farrar’s tweet was “defeatist” because it played into the idea of Trump being the only person with any agency — the “main character of the world” — that everyone else is stuck reacting to.

Instead, Bouie believes it’s the people and institutions around Trump — from Republicans to Democrats, Congress to the courts — that have made the last decade possible

Also, this guy is one of these "campus protesters stopped protesting Biden once Trump won" people. Not a good person at all.

People called Joe Biden a fascist and were told how stupid that was and now the real fascists have won and you’re not protesting anymore. Sorry the Atlantic is making fun of you, hopefully you learn something from this whole thing

I'm no legal expert. Is it common for the judge to presume guilt like this? Also, why are the kids in foster care and not with the father?

You cannot make this up. It says she went on a cruise and left her children home alone,” Judge Mindy Glazer said during the hearing. “These poor kids, four of them, were home alone for three days. ... I’m just grateful nothing worse happened to these kids.”

Belizaire’s attorney said she denies the allegations.

“Of course she does,” Glazer replied. “One baby, the baby was born in July of this year. Who leaves a baby alone like that?”

Authorities said the children are safe and in foster care.

It's very odd that she starts off by describing exactly how the West screwed them over. Is her argument that it wasn't intentional?

The US-led West was heavily involved in Russian "shock therapy" after the collapse of the USSR. Western, particularly US, economists dispensed advice on creating a new market economy. The international financial institutions (IFIs) handed over loans conditional on harsh reforms. 2/30

Gottlieb was born in Vienna, the son of a magazine publisher. Raised in a Jewish family, he moved with his mother to Dusseldorf in the Rhine Province of Germany after her divorce and marriage to a wealthy textile manufacturer.[1] He attended the University of Cologne. At age 32, under Nazi rule, he was imprisoned at the Dachau concentration camp until he signed over his family's fortune for one Reichsmark. After emigrating to Switzerland he was deported for chess hustling. He then went to Austria, where Albert Einstein, a family friend, helped him immigrate to the United States

Cops kill a guy. Police won't tell you how or what he was wanted for, but they'll rush to the press to tell you a heckin' pupper got killed. They also won't tell you who killed the dog.

A Portland police K-9 on his last shift and a wanted man were killed as multiple law enforcement agencies tried to take the man, described by authorities as “a violent offender” into custody Thursday afternoon in Southeast Portland, officials said.

The incident took place at the Chestnut Tree Inn in the 9600 block of Southeast Stark Street and involved the U.S. Marshals Service Violent Offender Task Force and multiple other police agencies, officials said. Portland police’s homicide unit is investigating, Portland police spokesperson Mike Benner said. There is no risk to the public.

Police did not identify the suspect or specify what crime or crimes he was wanted for.

It looks like Gov Josh Shapiro and Thomas Crooks have the same beliefs. How interesting.

“Lori and I extend our prayers to James Copenhaver’s loved ones — who now, as Corey Comperatore’s family has faced for over two years — will have an empty seat at their dinner table,” Shapiro said. “The political violence that occurred in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13, 2024 is never okay. I said it at the time in Butler and I say it again today: we all have a responsibility to take down the temperature, rise above hateful rhetoric, and search for a brighter future for this nation.”

In April 2023, Crooks showed his frustration with American politics in a school essay about ranked-choice voting, where he claimed "divisive and incendiary campaigns are pulling the country apart".

A planet's rotation is how long its day be.

A planet’s rotation can either push or pull on its satellites, depending on its speed. The rotation can cause variations in gravitational strength. This is why our moon isn’t in any danger of being eaten. In fact—because our 24-hour days are rather fast in a planetary sense—our moon is currently drifting away from Earth at a rate of about 1.5 inches per year.

I doubt you'd even need to campaign on his bad political views. Just get someone who smiles and knocks on doors. Someone who looks like they actually want to work.

Fetterman’s critics are looking for a candidate to primary him in 2028 as he fields questions about whether he plans to join the GOP — or run for reelection at all, given his sinking popularity among his own party and outrage from former supporters over his rightward turn.

The article doesn't say that it's been solved for years. Just that it's one of the better attempts.

Their theory, as Pelling puts it, may be one more “to throw onto the (already blazing) hearth” of Voynich speculation. Or it may turn out to be the final word on the translation. Prominent Medieval scholar Lisa Fagin Davis, head of the Medieval Academy of America—who has herself cast doubt on another recent translation attempt—calls the Ardiçs’ work “one of the few solutions I’ve seen that is consistent, is repeatable, and results in sensical text.”
