Guarantee all of them (and the guy whose fiancee got picked up) will not only still be voting for Paxton, but also straight ticket R. No lessons will be learned.

The federal government — and thus, American taxpayers — will have to shell out $500 a day until the Department of Homeland Security complies with a court order requiring it to expedite its process for handing over communications shared via the personal phones of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.

Maybe instead of outright buffoonery, the person in charge should actually be held accountable.

Oh, yeah must’ve misread the 20k as 20%. Point still stands, buying a house at its peak price then immediately selling it will yield a loss. It’s like buying a new car and then complaining that you had to sell it for used car price.

A surgeon bid 20% over asking price to move from Phoenix to Austin, realized he didn’t like living there and moved back. Business Insider somehow blames all of this on new houses being built. Lol.

I sure hope so.

My guess is the lower courts will rule against it, but when it reaches the SC they will rule against the original congressional law, claiming it ‘goes against corporations free speech rights.’

It’d be nice of someone told them you don’t need that big pedestrian smasher grill on an ev.

Missed the email for my reservation by a couple days (I’m in the by September group) but luckily after opening a help ticket they gave me a new window to purchase it. Just wanted to put it out there in case someone also misses there and a as a general good guy Steam. Excited to finally get my hands on one.

Two-piece band consisting of a drummer and a guitar and bass combo utilizing loopers. Seems like a bunch of people (includng myself) have just discovered them from a recent KEXP broadcast.

Hopefully they also have a credit in their bank account.

There's a difference between a 15-year-old and a 5-year-old, you know?

She should not be able to walk down the street without constant reminder of making this statement about victims of sex trafficking. Absolute monster of a person.

I’ve had this song stuck in my head all day since someone else posted a cover of it earlier. This is the second version released by original artist Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy (Will Oldham), and was released after Johnny Cash covered it as part of his ‘I’m dying so here’s a billion covers to make you bawl’ phase, giving it a more uplifting feel with the thumping drum and backup vocals. One of my favorite post-depression jams for coming back to the world.

Potecting the stability of its shareholders was prioritized and this store -and its workforce- were deemed expendable.

Holy shit that’s cold. Ignoring the whole radical left bs, that’s insane callousness. Imagine veing the poor minimum wage employee that had to put that sign up before clocking out for the last time.

The chairman of the New York State Democratic Party said on Thursday that he would not support Zohran Mamdani, his party’s nominee for mayor of New York City, citing fundamental disagreements over Israel and democratic socialism.

The position puts the chairman, Jay Jacobs, directly at odds with both Democratic primary voters and Gov. Kathy Hochul, his de facto boss, who endorsed Mr. Mamdani on Sunday despite her own differences with the nominee.

Mr. Jacobs, a moderate from Long Island, was so opposed to the governor’s endorsement that he told associates in recent days that he would sooner resign as chairman than back Mr. Mamdani, a 33-year-old state lawmaker and democratic socialist, according to people who spoke with the chairman.

And yet, not a single republican I know, has ever even considered changing their vote. These articles are hopium, diminishing his base is not going to happen.

Does this book ever pick up? I’m about a quarter of the way in and so far ‘The Adventures of Mary Sue As She Looks For A Date’ is just not doing anything for me. I remember tears ago hearing of it and thought it’s political world building, but so far it seems to be nothing more than ‘theater kids rule the world but- no touching.’ It seems like it wants to dive into the politics, but then again very other page it derails itself itself with ‘those damn eyes.’

Idk, I guess I’ve probably already made up my mind, but would be interested to know if it ever gets out of its own way.

Thanks for the 4 years tuition though!

I could see them barring them from walking for their degree, but to hold it completely is messed up. Bullshit that ‘the corporation’ overruled the faculty vote.
