Only in the Federalist Society academic bubble could you say that the government going in and splitting up geographically contiguous communities of Black voters in order to prevent them from ever being a majority in any House district is "government not taking race into account."

On the other hand, it drives me up the wall that any time I go to a convenience store looking for crisps, they have every conceivable flavor except for plain with salt.

I remember all the self-important chatter lecturing Democrats that they could never hope to win an election while demonizing half the country, and I was like "if there was ever a theory conclusively falsified by the 2024 election, it's 'one can't win an election while demonizing half the country!'"

My parents paid less than that for the house I grew up in during the 70s. Zillow now gives an estimated price of >$1 million. For a boring 2000 sq ft split level with a small yard. An increase about 2x inflation.

I mentioned Scabby in class today and most of the students had no idea what I was talking about. When I explained, they seemed amused.

Anybody who thinks that inflatable anthropomorphic animals are not a form of protest has clearly never been to NYC. I keep one of these in the trunk of my Mustang in case I get a call about a picket line going up.

Hi; have you met Scabby? We put these up in front of non- union construction sites; do you think that this giant inflatables anthropomorphic animal is not a protest?

Why Did UChicago Destroy the Humanities?

The answer is simple: to spend untold sums on useless buildings by starchitects.

ICE arrested comedian Robby Roadsteamer for singing a parody of Rod Stewart’s “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy” in a Jeffrey Epstein the Giraffe costume outside their facility.

He sings “If you hate brown people / and you are a Nazi” and ICE thugs grab him and drag him into detention. No violence—just speech.
