Kamala calling Trump a landlord

I thought the one on the right was Pence and I was confused because I thought he had fallen out of favor (until I realized that it was RFK).

According to the Oklahoma State Department of Education website, the teacher who assigned the paper was Erich Richter, a football coach at SHS who has his emergency certification in English that expired on June 30, 2024.

Prior to teaching, Richter ran for Tulsa County sheriff but was disqualified due to embezzling funds from Taco Bueno, according to The Frontier.

There was an article a while back about hospitals run by Catholic organizations that would ban doctors from offering services that violate religious rules (i.e. abortion and contraception), even if the doctors do not personally hold those beliefs. While it’s probably not the case with all Catholic-coded hospitals, it’s still something to be aware of. They may also pressure non-Catholic hospitals into accepting these rules as they formed mergers with them, so it’s a potential issue even for hospitals that don’t seem like it.

I have never heard of a muslim, hindu or buddhist hospital in “the west” though these of course exist elsewhere.

Jewish hospitals in the US were founded in large part because many other hospitals would refuse to employ Jewish doctors or treat Jewish patients in the past. I would imagine that there aren’t hospitals specifically for other religions in the US because they are an even smaller minority and there hasn’t been an explicit need to the same extent.

I remember some hysteria being spread about pro-Palestinian protesters wearing face masks, hence the rhetoric around “criminal” and “dangerous” people wearing masks to conceal their identity (given that left-wing college students are more likely to wear them for health reasons anyways). Probably not the main reason but I think there’s an element of that.

Extremely critical support to the engineers who made US warships touchscreen-controlled.

Conservatives: “Western values are under attack!”

Also conservatives: “NOOOOO how dare you celebrate one of the foundational events of Western liberalism!!!”

This unlimited customization dangerously blurs the boundaries of gender and sex, and, especially considering the predominantly young player base of Minecraft, can be very confusing in terms of gender. One of these confused young people is my son, now 21 years old, who, it turns out, had been using the default “girl” skin of Minecraft, often shown in marketing alongside a more fitting masculine character. While this is not concerning on its own, having done so since the age of 11 will surely have contributed to his gender confusion.

Most games have some form of gender customization/selection at this point. How are you supposed to stop someone from choosing an “incorrect” gender? By requiring a genital scan or something?

Also the “girl” skin is pretty clearly intended to be gender-neutral and is based on a real-life man.

In July 1977, a senior scientist of Exxon, James Black reported to the company’s executives that there was a general scientific agreement at that time that the burning of fossil fuels was the most likely manner in which mankind was influencing global climate change.

Exxon’s research confirming the existence of manmade climate change is almost as old as you are.

how many players are using an adblocker enough to make an impact?

Given the context in which Modrinth was created, it’s likely that their userbase is significantly more likely than average to use adblockers.

“Today is a good day for [the] EPP. We won the European elections, my friends. We are the strongest party, we are the anchor of stability … Together with others we will build a bastion against the extremes from the left and from the right. We will stop them!”

Staking out its ground in the culture war over the EU’s identity, the EPP opened its EU election manifesto with its commitment to Europe’s “Judeo-Christian roots.”

Ursula Gertrud von der Leyen is a German physician and politician

Saying that you’re “building a bastion against the extreme right” and then immediately following up with a Christofascist dogwhistle, very cool.

Not pictured: the fact that there are actually 95 and 100 people on the tracks and that the Democrats helped sabotage any other tracks at every juncture.

• Unending Journal seems like one of the best since the text implies that you can draw anything you see into the journal with your mind, which is basically instant memorization.
• Word after Word + Orchard lets you read any book in any language at double speed.
• Heirloom seems useful at first but is pretty inconvenient to access between the 10-second countdown and having to avoid getting caught vanishing. I don’t know if there is enough stuff I would want to keep to make it worth it.

He regularly supports antisemitic conspiracy theories (most notably stuff about Soros and the “Great Replacement”) on his website while also parroting the bad-faith accusations of antisemitism against pro-Palestinian activists (and he has also made a trip to Israel to rehabilitate his image aided by several pro-Israel figures).

The funny thing is that it’s relatively agreed-upon amongst economists that the point on the Laffer curve that maximizes tax revenue is ~70% for the highest earners. American conservatives bring it up to “prove” why raising taxes doesn’t work but even under their own framework it basically says that rich people don’t pay enough tax.

Given that the protest in the image took place in London, I’m assuming he’s trying to paint them as “disloyal” to Britain.

(Not so) fun fact, there are several US states which prohibit the direct sale of unpasteurized milk, but allow the owner to drink milk from the cow, so they exploit the loophole by having buyers purchase a fractional share of the cow so that they can drink the milk.

It’s amazing how “state’s rights” people can almost recognize that the USA, as a settler-colony, requires the use of violence to enforce its borders and laws, but then thinks that magically stops being true when you call it a “state government” instead of a “federal government”.

The Democratic Party has spent more effort in the past few months to shut down/censor left-wing and pro-Palestine activism than they have in the past 10 years to shut down/censor right-wing rhetoric that promotes hatred of migrants, Muslims, LGBT people, “globalists” (which basically just means imaginary Jewish conspirators), etc; never mind that the latter has lead to actual murders against all aforementioned groups. Why should we believe them when they’ve thoroughly proven that they’re far more interested in wielding power against the left than against the Republicans they were supposedly elected to fight?
