Only if they felt bound by consistency and precedence, which they have repeatedly shown they do not.

That pop culture part is something I’ve really noticed as well. A while ago I saw someone talking about how the younger generations are no longer being allowed to have a future, and that was an aspect of the point they were making. Beyond just politicians and senior level positions not being passed on to the next wave of people, there is a progression of culture that isn’t being allowed to move on to the next generation.

He plays Dumbledore. Had a recent interview where he says that he considered turning down the part due to her being a bigot, but relented and took the role. Claimed it made him unhappy that people insisted he turn down the role.

Not going to watch it either way. Fuck JKR; and unfortunately, fuck John Lithgow as well.

They going to provide discounts to citizens of different countries for how much of a country’s stolen artifacts they have on display?

Shows up, makes me think even less of Shafir, (hopefully) leaves for good. I’d say that’s a complete arc that needs no revisiting.

It’s also Fortune, so the goal of the article is to push for austerity via constitutional amendment as framed by a republican congresswoman.

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.
