Iowa. Root beer floats. #YNWA. If martin buber and EM Cioran had a baby and it married Italo Calvino's punk rock estranged kid, and they had a kid. Middling. Former licensed attorney, video store owner and floor layer.

University school within a school (like a pop-up, a legislative collab) made by a Partisan bill that treated the larger school as purely political wants you to know its offended anyone would insinuate politics can be attributed to their actions

I am losing my mind
“This is not a fundamentally political operation. It is fundamentally a matter of academic norms and intellectual quality,” Mark Bauerlein, professor emeritus of English at Emory University, said. “To call it politics is to introduce precisely the degradation and distortion that has led to the necessity of centers like this in the first place.” Tom Gallanis, a law professor at George Mason University, said he was concerned at the insinuation that all committees in the state must be politically balanced, and those in the advisory council shouldn’t be factoring in politics when deciding on who would be best to serve on the executive committee, whose job it will be to handle the director search. He was joined by other scholars who repeated throughout the meeting that the center is supposed to be an academic institution, not a political one, and should be treated as such.

"Do the epstein emails make you wistful for juniors cheesecake and chocolate egg creams?"

"Nyc, epsteins town!"

This is like the bizarro bad tourism version of taylor swifts welcome to ny

Reminded me of this, where Madrid high fived itself on insisting they be directly associated w Allen. U guys
Madrid somehow convinced themselves they are getting a great deal by funding a woody allen film but insisting he put "madrid" in the title

Lol, idk what im even reading
A story - In 1993 trump and I had a friend that kept telling his pilots how to fly, and when to fly, he couldnt help himself from hiring morons as co pilots, and maintenance people based on cheapest rates. Donald and I tried and tried to talk some sense into him, to no avail. Donald and I were in aspen, sitting at little nells. when the friends plane crashed into the side of aspen mountain , klliing him and all on board,- Trump looked at me and said without a blink , I guess NOW he wishes he would have listened to us.-

Idk why i found this so funny. That Bannon and Epstein are trading the dailybeast link? That all these dudes are all one bad hour away from total ego fragmentation and keep coaching each other on?

Well, this was a read. I *think* legally, the courts correct re: Lee but also Mallory had a good faith basis for pursuing a charge and Lee probably was not wise to post any of it. Legally allowed sure. Weird layercake. I dislike everyone involved lol
In her lawsuit, Lee is represented by Alan R. Ostergren of Iowa’s Kirkwood Institute, a self-described “conservative public-interest law firm.” The institute describes itself as “nonpartisan” and has been recognized by the IRS as a tax-exempt public charity

The symmetry of asymmetrical approaches to symmetry

Iowa politics in one side by side

@iowademocrats.bsky.social you guys, cmon. Come tf on. What are we doing here.
Two Op-eds published on the same day in a local iowa paper, published online directly side-by-side. REPUBLICANS: Political violence isn’t symmetrical. It’s escalating on the left, and political leaders must call it out DEMOCRATS: Political violence is on the rise. It’s up to us to cool the rhetoric

Your constituents? This is what i found from today in new hampshire. Lets see the op-ed author..... Are you kidding me?
Op-ed from new hampshire published on day she later voted to end shutdown saying Shaheen was a hypocrite for not ending shutdown. But... The author of shaheen op-ed is an in-office gop politician
