Really important to stress that the Crown Jewels of the US higher education system were never the Ivies or elite SLACs (other countries have equivalents of these) but the well-funded, large, cheap, and excellently staffed public state university systems bringing high quality education to the masses.
One of the bragging rights that the US ed system had in the 20th century is that we didn't have education tracks. Essentially, any kid could go to a CC or state school & major in whatever they wanted to (obviously an oversimplification). I fear this aspect of the American dream is dying.

Yes! Think about it like this. Zohran is so charming he got the world's most famous racist capitalist to slob the knob of a brown socialist for an hour in front of the press and if you don't think that matters to the country as a whole then I don't know what to say. Optics are everything to Trump.

In fact I think if you say anything about Muppets breaking reality, you don't have any clue about the Muppets at all.
There's not a single person in the presence of a Muppet performance tryna talk to the puppeteer. Because the Muppets are fucking real.

Is it just me or does this pic of Pope Leo look like one of those plywood roadside attraction “stick your face in the hole/put your chin on the divot” thingies?
(Also, I find it highly amusing that a current AP staff photographer is a Borgia.)

A few weeks ago I was talking politics with a local, highly straight, bartender.
All the sudden he said: “Well, I think a big part of the problem is that so many of the people who would’ve been our progressive leaders died of AIDS & can’t help us now.”
And I’ve thought about that every day since.
