  1. It's almost like the cruelty towards women is a feature and not a bug, or something.
  2. https://www.texastribune.org/2024/11/06/texas-house-greg-abbott-school-vouchers-funding/
  3. I wonder if getting into a trade war with one of our largest and closest trading partners will help or hurt inflation https://apnews.com/article/mexico-tariffs-trump-retaliate-sheinbaum-fac0b0c6ee8c425a928418de7332b74a
  4. Yeah the whole mantra of "when they go low, we go high" just means you get constantly undermined. Lowest pad height wins and all that
  5. And that's a super effective tactic because even though it wasn't an issue he was focused on, the useful idiot boomers that lack criticality just believed it and got outraged at it
  6. Many people are saying, yeah?
  7. Dems need to stop living off of sucking corporate cock for sustenance. Their "for the people" rhetoric rings hollow when they constantly sell out workers or fail to show up and defend the little guy
  8. He's also referencing Andrew fucking Tate the human trafficker and rapist by talking about """living in the matrix""". Absolutely insane how far that ideology has spread now
  9. It's basically an approved material/curriculum, but districts aren't required to teach. It'll be in TEKS next year I'd bet though
  10. Gilded age, dust bowl, rise of domestic fascism?
  11. The real kicker for domestic agriculture and fishing is that climate change is gonna make previously arable regions into poor farmland, and the gulf will soon not be hospitable to the lifecycle of most sea life. Turns out water temps matter, and dumping all the waste we do into the gulf has deleterious effects on the ecology. Hell, there's barely any trout in the gulf anymore these days. The cycle of intense winter freeze followed by brutally hot summer has led to a bunch of fish kills each year
  12. Lol the Shag constantly calling Plonsky a cunt probably didn't help with that action
  13. I didn't think it was trademark - the university didn't take the site down because of the "Bevo" in the name. It was because the former owner made a shit business deal with a scumbag and got fucked over after the fact. The site was lost because the shitty business deal person successfully argued in court to a judge that shaggy was worth $350,000, based on Blacklab saying it was worth "tree fiddy" on a reddit AMA
  14. Same shit different name, but it's the same problem. Unless we're just off the rails on day one, an executive order doesn't overrule the law
  15. Interesting update https://www.nbcnews.com/business/business-news/judge-review-alex-jones-attempt-block-infowars-sale-onion-rcna181377 Another bidder, First United American Companies, a limited liability company affiliated with Jones' dietary supplements business, had challenged the results of the auction after it said it bid twice as much cash as the Onion. ... But First United American Companies quickly contested the results, saying in an emergency filing attempting to block the sale that it had offered $3.5 million in cash — compared to the Onion's $1.75 million. The auction process approved by Lopez did not require Murray to automatically select the bidder that submitted the highest amount, and the trustee could reject the bid that was "contrary to the best interests" of the estate creditors. "I want a fair and transparent process, and let's see where that process goes," Lopez said, adding, "Everyone will have their day in court." At a prior court hearing following the auction, Murray said, "the creditors ended up significantly better off" under the Onion's bid. He also explained in a filing that the majority of Sandy Hook families were willing to forgo their share of the sale proceeds and instead take a percentage from future revenues from a revamped Infowars, which would allow the other creditors to collect more money.
  16. Uhhhh isn't NAFTA the law of the land? As is legislation passed by both houses and signed by the president?
  17. https://abcnews.go.com/amp/US/bird-flu-found-sample-california-raw-milk-officials/story?id=116185808 Hooray, raw milk is a vehicle for bird flu transmission! It's a good thing we have a standard of pasteruization to protect against such spread of diseases. https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/rfk-jr-health-stances-vaccines-fluoride-raw-milk-rcna180244 But the new guy overseeing the FDA and the CDC says raw milk is cool, so I'm sure that'll be just fine
  18. Another SWISH for @Anastasis https://www.propublica.org/article/porsha-ngumezi-miscarriage-death-texas-abortion-ban
  19. 🌕👨‍🚀🔫👨‍🚀 Always have been
  20. His fucking brother is the mayor of Kiev, which is still getting weekly missile and drone attacks. These fucking useful idiot meatheads are such an effective tool of putin
  21. Lol cyber trucks https://www.torquenews.com/11826/dentist-tesla-cybertruck-owner-says-loneliness-drove-him-buy-truck-turns-heads-they-cant
  22. Man, Elmo is gonna get trump to kill the F35 project or something at this rate. Definitely something that he will target with his DOGE club
  23. Jesus. His response to "do you believe in intellectual diversity and freedom of thought?" Rufo stiffened. The muscles in his face froze. He spoke and his words came fast, pitched a half-step higher. He said it would have been better if Dewey had never been born. He said that adhering to Dewey’s values creates “an academic life that drifts into witchcraft, into phrenology, into gender studies.” He said academics like Strong who believe in Dewey, “frankly, deserve what’s coming.” Perhaps Rufo imagined he was being discreet by leaving “what’s coming” vague. But professors paying attention to Texas politics know exactly what it means. Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick has, over the last four years, called for the elimination of tenure, for restricting students’ free speech, and for mandating what professors can teach. Patrick has also pushed for the elimination of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs at Texas’ public universities. And, in the case of these programs, “what’s coming” is already here. Texas outlawed DEI in January. The attacks against higher education have hurt faculty morale. There is anecdotal evidence that they are beginning to damage UT’s ability to attract high-quality professors. An August survey of 950 Texas faculty conducted by the AAUP revealed that two-thirds would not recommend Texas universities to their out-of-state colleagues. More than a quarter plan to interview for jobs elsewhere this year. A similar number have already done so. Half said they have noticed fewer, and less qualified, applicants for open positions. The top reason cited by those looking to leave is the state’s political climate. Anxieties about academic freedom, DEI attacks, access to reproductive care, LGBTQ+ issues, and tenure also made the list.
  24. Yeah it may be the best time to buy for a while, if things happen as they have been promised to happen. Gutting the labor force for construction is not gonna help the lack of new builds
