His fess I guess, but thought husband was sneaking off most nights to watch porn, didn't really care but curiousity got the best of me, checked his browser history. He's playing chess. At 2am. Multiple times a week. Worst part is, I saw his ELO, he's not even any good.

Recently single. One of the things I miss the most is dropping a reference to having a partner/girlfriend when talking with women I've just met so they know I'm not hitting on them or have an agenda. I just liking chatting with people.

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Their advice is also dangerously wrong! When one group of people must carry papers on them to avoid government kidnapping and disappearing, that means *all* people must carry such papers on them. How else can you show the government you're not someone they should kidnap and disappear?
Email just went out on my campus that the Immigration Goons ("federal immigration agents") will be in town (Raleigh).
Inter alia, it says,"International students, faculty and staff should carry evidence of their immigration status with them at all times."
The fuck kind of country are we living in?

Marjorie Taylor Greene's big takedown of Trump today is powerful because it broadcasts that he's losing control over the GOP. His sudden call for release of files wasn't about transparency. It was about sustaining the illusion that he controls the party.

In normal times, it would be a major scandal for the President to direct his AG to criminally investigate his political opponents to deflect from his own involvement in a major scandal — and for the AG to immediately announce she is doing it. The Epstein scandal and cover up just got even bigger.

Wow! A new low for Ken Paxton. His deranged press release claims that there cannot be any legitimate purpose for legal defense for people facing deportation — effectively saying that removal defense is not legitimate and only “radicals” would want people to have lawyers.

Neurodivergent friendship is a funny thing. You can find your people and have amazing connections with them, but be too overwhelmed with life to stay in touch, but miss them dearly and feel lonely, but be too burnt out to even send a text. 😩

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

I wonder what the Venn diagram is between those denouncing appeasements like this and those who celebrated Title IX consent decree after consent decree enabling the Office of Civil Rights to dictate college sexual assault and sexual harassment policies.
Cornell agreed to pay $30m, hand over admissions data with demographic breakdowns, produce annual "campus climate" surveys to check on antisemitism and changes "since October of 2023," and—here's the dumbest part they agreed to—that the govt can open new investigations whenever it wants.
Appeasers.
Appeasers.
Cornell has reached an agreement with the federal government to restore our funding:

The most important takeaway from Tuesday night’s elections — the one that has real implications for 2026 and 2028 — is that Democrats won EVERYWHERE, in many cases improving their 2024 performance by striking margins.
Opinion | America’s voters are perpetually angry. Tuesday proved it again.
Speaker Mike Johnson was misguided Wednesday when he said of Tuesday's elections, “I don’t think the loss last night was any reflection about Republicans at all.”

This time, it was a US citizen who ICE officers shot from behind after he warned them that children would soon gather for the bus where they had pulled over a vehicle.
