The American Revolution was a challenge to unchecked monarchial/imperial power in order to install representative government.

Mohawk teacher should understand that.

George does not like pronouns. George tries to keep George’s temper under George’s control when the (plural) people George interacts with use pronouns.

The official numbers almost certainly lie. The problem is far greater than reported.

Fuck corruption. They already wrote the laws to make it legal. When you finally catch someone breaking the most lenient rules possible, the perpetrator should go to jail for a long time. Party affiliation has nothing to do with it.

You nailed it in the first paragraph. It’s domestic politics. Cuban immigrants have a large voting bloc in a swing state.

American national politics work off of a system designed 250 years ago to maintain a balance of power between rebelling colonies trying to form a nation-state. Any amendment to the Constitution requires the agreement of either a supermajority of Congress or a supermajority of the states themselves. Neither of which are even a slight possibility in the foreseeable future.

It’s deeply ironic that the US is such a young nation, but is crippling itself based on relatively new traditions that were always designed to be changed as needed. Changing with the times was foreseen by the Founding Fathers, who are revered as gods but whose actual views are rarely analyzed in depth.

Instead, the pull toward white Christian nationalism has destroyed all the Enlightenment ideals the country was founded upon, and the freedom for each generation to choose its own path at a fundamental level, which was explicitly the Founding Fathers’ original design, has fallen victim to partisan politics.

There’s an alternate timeline where the non-profit side of the company won, Altman the Conman was booted and exposed, and OpenAI kept developing machine learning in a way that actually benefits actual use cases.

Cancer screenings approved by a doctor could be accurate enough to save so many lives and so much suffering through early detection.

Instead, Altman turned a promising technology into a meme stock with a product released too early to ever fix properly.

The GOP’s entire narrative is that Zelenskyy has now gone all-in with Democrats and is snubbing Republicans. Their “God Emperor” just proved that claim to be false.

Trump has quite literally lost the script. Now, they’ll all have to pretend it didn’t happen whenever a camera is around while the panicking continues privately.

Of course Vance is has a weird thing with car seats. His attraction to children’s furniture is probably his deepest, darkest secret. IKEA meets Epstein’s island.

When you think about it, Cuba is still being punished for being an ally of an empire that hasn’t existed for over three decades.

Incredibly gross on so many levels. These people are monsters. They claim some high moral ground on religious reasons and try to legislate how everyone lives their lives, then go home and creep on teenage girls. It’s all so fucking disgusting.

It's a "being popular on Reddit" simulator. Everything you say generates discussion, but it's all bots talking nonsense.

There’s a chance Cheryl Hines might kill him if he keeps fooling around with young reporters and bragging about it to everyone.
