Nick & Nora / Gomez & Morticia are absolute proof that what the audiences hunger for are two married people who flirt shamelessly and relentlessly and I don’t know how come Hollywood can’t just give us that again

The title of a real article published this past week reads "Arizona State’s President Is Pulling Out All the Stops to Get on Trump’s Good Side"
I don't see a lot of college presidents concerned that they're helping to destroy the union.

given how unpopular Trump is, it’s insane that civil society/universities/law firms are still asking themselves “how do I stay on Trump’s good side” rather than “how do I avoid facing consequences for complying with Trump’s illegal demands”
New Gallup poll shows Trump's approval hit a new low for his second term:
-36% approve
-60% disapprove
His approval among Republicans went from 91% in January to 84% in November

I don't disagree with John but there's another layer too which is people like him should never get near power and yet they get near it often.
There's something wrong with the system that allows people like Miller to do anything more significant than bookkeeping.

I think that somewhere along the way something in Stephen Miller got fundamentally damaged. This is neither an excuse nor a mitigating factor; the dude is genuinely fucking evil and he and everything he stands for should be fought against and stopped. But he is something beyond mere sociopathy.
Since Stephen Miller is in the midst of another of his Aryans-only trantrums, we should note that his family are 20th century immigrants from the shtetl of Antopol (Антопаль) then in the Hrodna gubernia of Russia. Applying his immigration rules, they would all have perished in the Holocaust.

Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.
This is the power of vaccines.
The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.
