    Crime President Biden declares Easter Sunday a Transgender Day of Visibility

    The thing about it that gives me pause is how "Religious Right/Moral Majority" types make other people's sexuality, and discriminating against them, the centerpiece of their "freedom" and "lifestyle" values platform. It's the laziest thing ever as far as making sacrifices, glorifying God, and...

    Crime President Biden declares Easter Sunday a Transgender Day of Visibility

    Trans day of visibility, whether you agree with its message/mission or not, has been on 3/31 since 2009. Easter hasn't been on 3/31 since 2003 and won't be again until 2086.

    Law 9 year-old boy served VPO at school

    In the American public school behavior/discipline hierarchy, a teacher can't issue consequences (suspension, expulsion, loss of privileges, schedule change, etc.) beyond a phone call home to the perpetrator's caregivers. When a behavior becomes chronic, a teacher can refer it to a dean...

    Opinion All the major republican policies pass, now what?

    It'd be like the dog that caught the car. Conservatism and especially American conservatism/right wing politics is based on fear of "the other" and identity grievance, with a dose of culture war. If they got everything on their wish list, what would they have to be scared and which minority...

    Social McConnell’s approval rating sinks to 6 percent

    What's crazy is that he's the single most cunning, ruthless, and winning-est conservative politician of the modern era.

    Social Obama faces backlash for film's 'Warning' about White People

    This is definitely the vibe I got from the movie. Neither of the female lead roles were likable at all, and the circumstances and plot of the movie (hopefully not spoiling anything) magnify their negative characteristics, prejudices, and rudeness. On the other hand, the Tesla self-driving car...

    Social House approves bill slashing Pete Buttigieg's salary to $1

    Being on paternity, maternity, FMLA, whatever type of "leave" absolutely means you get to ignore your job. Don't get that twisted.

    Elections New Jersey Republican candidate smeared poop on daycare door handle, appears to blame Obama

    If you told me that a Republican candidate for office once was criminally charged with smearing feces on a door, and subsequently blamed the actions on Obama's election, I would've guessed with the utmost confidence that this story took place in Florida. Bravo New Jersey!

    International Ex-CEO of Abercrombie and Fitch Accused of Exploiting Men for Sex

    Who is honestly surprised that an international fashion mogul worth hundreds of millions is also into gay orgies and other debauchery? I will say that the pimp/"recruiter" with the gold nose prosthetic adds an extra layer of intrigue, though.

    Law Trump Georgia indictment watch

    Dude. He was the first president in US history to not hand over power peacefully when voted out of office. He orchestrated an unsuccessful coup, albeit with a bunch of idiots, to keep power. This will be the blueprint (claim fraud, sue, try to seize ballots or overturn states, etc.) going...

    Law Does Trump's Presidency mark the end of "Presumption of Innocence"?

    Everything that Trump has been indicted for has been out in the open and in most cases involved public bragging and boasting, literally daring the DOJ to charge. No one, not even the most fervent Trump supporters/MAGA cultists dispute any of actions that led to the charges, but rather, their...

    Social Florida Schools will teach slavery brought personal benefit to black people

    Has anyone mentioned yet that just this week, the Florida DPI has approved PragerU videos for use in public school civics instruction? https://time.com/6301287/florida-prageru-education-schools/ It's going to be a matter of time before colleges in other states start rejecting applicants, and...

    Television The Bear (FX)

    Season 2 episode 6 and 7 are incredible. The amount of stars they got to do cameo roles in episode 6 shows how sought after that show has become, and every one of them is awesome, especially Bob Oedenkirk and Jamie Lee Curtis. The stress and trauma and substance abuse and all the screaming and...

    Jim Caviezel's Sound Of Freedom beats opening figures of Indiana Jones

    Nobody is trying to keep anyone from watching anything; it's playing everywhere. The idea that seeing the movie is some kind of defiant action against evil powers is part of the appeal. The entire marketing campaign for the film has been one of feigned controversy, where legitimate criticism of...

    Jim Caviezel's Sound Of Freedom beats opening figures of Indiana Jones

    People of all political persuasions avoid supporting artists and companies whose politics/social stances they disagree with. Numerous examples on both sides of the ideological spectrum. Big difference with this one is it's about fighting child sex trafficking, so the hardcore right wing/Qanon...

    A. No B. No, but it would be kind of shocking at how many people would fail it. C. They already do in the form of the electoral college. Really the only votes that "count" in presidential elections are swing state independents, myself included. D. Once sentence is completed.
