As an aside, holy shit, I just learned that the guy that wrote The Boy in the Striped Pajamas was the same guy that included a Zelda recipe in his historical fiction book, because he's just that bad at research lol

Without the TPP, America's reengagement in Asia will be purely military, increasing the chance of conflict.
Withdrawing from the TPP was a stupid, stupid move.

Yes, I think that in most human societies marking children’s birthdays and gathering with friends and family over food and drink are in fact important aspects of life.

The habit on here of describing every cross-pressured person as actually a hard-core rightwinger seems politically counterproductive in a way that’s very obvious — especially in a world of ever-growing conflict extension.

Oklahoma SB 1470 (to be introduced next week) would prohibit K-12 teachers from "promoting" any position "that is in opposition to closely held religious beliefs of students."

I have given this a lot of thought, and Joe Biden should issue an executive order saying that Episodes VII, VIII, and IX took place in the Kelvin Timeline and tell Disney to do a three movie series based on the Thrawn books.
It's what America needs.

Last year Brookings, Oregon, passed a law saying churches in residential zones could only serve free meals 2 days a week. All the city's churches are in residential zones
Now one church is suing, arguing the zoning ordinance is a First Amendment violation

An important difference is that if Congress fails to raise the debt ceiling it is effectively telling the president to do two contradictory things. The platinum coin might provide the least-crazy way for the president to comply with all the applicable laws.

Also, buried here, is that from the point of view of the person booing, jeering and slandering, the initial comment ‘why not build more housing’ was already combative. https://t.co/vXi6AhSaec
Darrell Owens @IDoTheThinking
DeBoer makes his case that anyone on the left should obviously supporting building more housing and opposing regulations designed to entrench the wealthy but that we're too quick to call those who are seeing this for the first time NIMBYs.

Does the author of this cartoon not see that in the panel on the right three times as many people have homes to live in as in the panel on the left?
