There are really 2 Americas. The one that tries to do better and the other one that only exists because Sherman didn't go far enough.

Harvard board bars 13 pro-Palestine student protesters from graduating, overruling faculty
Reply in thread
The fun thing is that people say "I graduated" or "I'm graduating" but it's technically more correct to say "I am being graduated (by the university)." I might be mixing it up a bit, but the idea is that the university always has the final say over whether or not you get that important piece of paper at the end.
One of my teachers in high school taught us this, but I never actually thought I'd see it in action. It's cruel.

Senator Kelly's replacement would be required by Arizona law to be a Democrat appointed by the Governor (also currently a Democrat). The special election to replace the replacement wouldn't be until 2026. If he's the right one for the job, it might be worth potentially taking a hit 2 years into a Harris administration.

The last time the Mongolians decided to expand their horizons, it didn't work out so well for a decent chunk of the rest of the world. I think it's perfectly fine they choose to keep things simple, tbh.

Gov. Evers says ‘Neo-Nazis, antisemitism, and white supremacy have no home in Wisconsin' after demonstration on state Capitol grounds

Fun fact about Wisconsin: the Republicans were furious that a Democrat was going to be elected after Scott Walker's fascist stint, so they rushed through several legislative changes to limit the powers of the incoming governor as a final middle finger to democracy.

The apps hadn't been so thoroughly ruined by Match Group yet. OKCupid used to publish interesting detailed reports about dating habits. Plenty of Fish wasn't full of bots and scammers. The apps that charged you for basic features were largely avoided. The experience was weird and new.
The dating app landscape as it is now is basically just whichever is the latest one until Match acquires it.

The real secret to longevity is to have spotty health records and a difficult to verify birth certificate. Bonus points if you're in a country that has undergone multiple radical regime changes.

Bibi sure needed it to cover up the mass protests that were taking place after he rammed through judicial reform to keep himself out of jail.

I mean, Biden regularly exercises and Trump believes exercise is a waste of some limited magical internal life force. Pretty sure we'd know who would win in an actual fight.

Almost 40 percent of South Dakotans say Noem shooting dog was justified

I was curious just how many people actually live in South Dakota, just so that I could have a point of reference for the 37.8% statistic. Basically, it's roughly the same amount of people as the population of New Orleans or half the population of Washington DC that agree with her. What an empty state.

One of the Arrowhead community managers said they're trying to get more information regarding regions, so it kinda seems like they weren't fully prepared for this/got blindsided by Sony a bit. There should be an FAQ/QA with additional info coming soon.

I definitely would be a lot more likely to attend a church's services if they put on regular drag shows. Make it a drag brunch and I'll be there every Sunday.

This Rapping Preacher Is Selling Bleach to Parents Trying to ‘Treat’ Autism in Kids

They've been doing this for a while now. I remember reading stories about moms in Facebook groups sharing photos of "parasites" they thought they were removing from their children by forcing them to drink bleach...
Pretty sure it was actually the lining of their esophagus/something similarly bad that should be inside not outside the body.
