Again some people may not believe in Climate Change and the relative effects thereof, but your insurance companies sure as fuck do.

Also, good move to buy some land in the less risky places.
Zillow dropped climate risk scores. Redfin kept them.

Why? Our research shows these scores are useful to homebuyers.

Ideally, we'd have information on rising insurance costs. But until insurance disclosure rules change, we will continue to provide the best info available.

Holy shit I just saw this and started cackling.

This is honestly hilariously stupid.

Taylor Sheridan writes a show as well as Ryan Murphy and neither of them can stay focused on a storyline and both feel the absolute need to have their characters interject ideologically slanted monologues into every episode that makes ZERO sense to the continuity of said episode.

I've had social media dickbags come at me, I've had policymakers come too, but for something I said to them.

I cannot imagine being a TA and having fair chunks of the internet debating a grade I gave, OR the Governor of the state and the Legislature members.

That's just fucking insane.

It can't be (3) fuck the law...

I keep hearing they're the "law and order" administration, right?
So wait. Will their theory be (1) this time prosecutors other than Halligan will present to the grand jury so it’s different, or (2) now we’ve done some sort of double secret blessing of Halligan’s position so it’s different, or (3) fuck the law?
Breaking on MS NOW: The Trump Justice Department is considering seeking another indictment of James Comey this week in the Eastern District of Virginia. It might be going before a grand jury today.

This would be in lieu of appealing the ruling from last week dismissing the case against Comey.

Know what show I know I should really be able to get into but can't ever make it past the first few episodes?

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

Idk, it's like my jam but I just can't.

Hahaha what chair, Dean, and Provost has time for this shit?

Like I said at #ASHE - no chance I work at a Texas school my mouth gets me fired eventually and that's before I tell them to fuck off with something like this and/or create a class that just low-key trolls partisan content all the time.
TX Tech has a flow chat for guidance on what can be taught in the university system. Two things:
1. Very little content seems to be permitted. This is partisan control of the curriculum.
2. I would not enjoy teaching under these conditions, but I really would not want to be a Chair or Dean.

My milk toast, non-controversial Xmas movie take...

A Muppet Christmas is an inferior version of a Mickey Christmas Carol...

And both are inferior to Scrooged.

This is a Bill Simmons game, but you’re stranded on a desert island. You can only have one actor’s filmography. You get it all, including cameos. But just the one performer.

I’m taking Cate Blanchett: Talented Mr. Ripley, LOTR, Life Aquatic, Black Bag, Tár, Ponyo, Hot Fuzz, Eyes Wide Shut, Thor

Haha with 393 followers on a platform that I can generate 300 followers with one shitty tweet praising ICE.

But seriously, this was just a ploy to fuck with that specific instructor and let these two women grift away. But she's gained 50-ish whole followers in the mean time!
As folks have noted in the replies, the student's mother is something of a MAGA public figure (and lawyer).

This is obviously a purposeful stunt to attack a trans graduate student, which is sick af and must be opposed on the grounds.

It is simultaneously an assault on university pedagogy.

So the governor of Oklahoma is pro-grade inflation it seems.

Also yes if the governor is gonna talk this shit anytime a conservative coded student bitches on social media about their shitty essay - ain't no point in not just passing everyone and going on with the day.

That will help, not like they're the core issue with voters right now
The president and the speaker are scrambling to promote a candidate in a gerrymandered Tennessee district Trump won by 22 points last year.

That’s the smell of panic in the air.
Trump and Mike Johnson plan to hold a Monday evening tele-rally to boost Matt Van Epps in the #TN07 special election. www.axios.com/2025/11/28/t...
