Ben Franklin wanted the Turkey. I’m with him.

Heteronormativity

Some of that is due to patriarchal values (women can’t harm men) which lowers reporting and those receiving reports not taking them seriously.

Some of it is due to disparity between it being committed by women for the first reason.

There are crimes that are wildly disparate by gender. Baby napping for instance is almost exclusively committed by women. And even when u find a case committed by a male, it’s nearly universal that a woman put him up to it. It seems to be correlated to post partum depression.

Mmmmm… I haven’t read the article but I suspect it’s not true when factoring the Harding administration and inflation.

Might need to exclude Musk, but I bet it’s not far off.

The saving grace is that our federal government relies HEAVILY on state workers and agencies.

A lot of states can simply say no, or “yeah, we’ll get around to it.”

Go out and be the change you wanna see! 😂

This could be you!

Conservatives have been wanting and trying to dismantle the SS since its inception.

I’m not that concerned just yet. There’s a reason it’s called the third rail of politics.

If I had to bet on the future outcome, they’ll raise the contribution cap to around $300k, maybe cut benefits a bit, fixing the solvency problem for at least a generation or two.

I’d also bet on an immigration deal in a future administration. Getting more workers/contributors into the system.

It honestly wouldn’t shock me if the Trump admin pivoted to amnesty just like Reagan. He’s a lame duck from day one. He’s not beholden to anything from the campaign trail. If he’s gotta choose the adoration of his voter base vs the donor base, he’ll choose the wealthy. He hates being excluded from the elites. You can’t buy class. But you can be invited to their parties, their clubs, their scene. His working class base has nothing left to offer him.

They’re called temples

• Couldn’t care less

I don’t care about small talk, but I engage in it as a social custom.

And I don’t try to pretend I’m superior to others for not caring about it.

But none of their stans are clicking on articles about what they’re wearing unlike Katie here.

The paparazzi version of Zuck or Jobs is writing an article about some stupid thing they do, even potentially damaging behavior, and convincing the reader it’s evidence of brilliance.

They wear the same shit because they have no fashion sense. But it’s been spun as “I can’t waste any precious brain power on mundane decisions” which is such a load of BS. What it’s actually demonstrating is they’re both dunces, incapable of picking up basic social skills, unable to engage in basic social behavior, uninterested in exploring something simply for the sake of relating to others.

There’s all sorts of conclusions to draw.

But nope, the things you or you do daily well enough by glancing at others, and checking out a store or two is IS JUST TOO MENTALLY TAXING AND WASTING THEIR BRAIN JUICE

For sure.

It seems like what’s missing in modern remakes is a willingness to try something new and in the present context. But I have a hunch it’s less so film makers wanting to and more so studios wanting a guarantee on return.

Good art tends not to work that way. It’s always going to involve risk.

A rare film where the remake was better

I think we also overestimate the valve if what would have been at Alexandria.

Considering everything would have been hand copied/transcribed back then, and his expensive that would have been, the selection bias would be massive.

I doubt it could compare to Wikipedia.

“but was dismayed to learn of Trump’s plans to declare a national emergency and use the military to carry out mass deportations of undocumented immigrants”>

What?!? You mean the author had no idea about this “plan” DT wouldn’t shut up about for the past 9 years?

I think our media is problematic

John Ludd and the saboteurs are calling

There’s been a lot of speculation claiming exactly that. I think it’s a stretch.

But, if your actions are causing people to make that type of speculation, a normal person would at least take some time for self reflection.

Whether true or not, it’s a bad look.

Whatever legacy Biden hoped to leave is irrevocably trashed IMHO.
