More than a dozen since 2020? Shit, I bet I've seen video documentation of more than a dozen incidents that deserve criminal charges this week.

I think a lot of U.S. politicians (as well as many civilians, frankly) are under the delusion that once Trump is out of office things will 'return to normal'. That may have been true after his first term, but the landscape has shifted seismically since then. Thanks to MAGA, in a single year the U.S. has shit the bed in virtually every category of former dominance, and has effectively ceded its leadership position on the world stage. Trust is gone, alliances have been broken, and if Newsom et al. really believe things will be 'business as usual' ever again, their delusion is showing.

Honestly, I was leaning toward "funny but probably fake" myself until I checked out OP's post history, which mentions "startups" and namedrops a few SaaS tools used heavily in marketing. If you've worked with marketers (or a fair few startup bros, honestly), you'll know this isn't beyond the bounds of reason for some of them 😂

OK sure "they're real" but said in a tongue-in-cheek manner and no follow-up from the 'journalist', LOL... Right on cue, another nothingburger that will keep the Art-Bell-Coast-to-Coast crowd occupied for another few decades while the billionaire class continues to build their empires.

The women say the policy could jeopardize the ability of Kappa to have current exemptions allowed under Title IX for single-sex organizations. The same argument failed to convince the judge in two cases brought by the women’s younger sorority sisters.

Heh...my only real memory of the film from viewing it back in the day is Liev Schreiber's time-traveling character snickering at the word "erection". Clearly I should rewatch it!

Terriers - excellent 2010 caper-style dramedy series starring Donal Logue and Michael Raymond-James, created by the screenwriter behind "Oceans Eleven". Relatable & endearing characters, compelling arcs, razor-sharp writing, wrapped in a noire detective plot set in sunny San Diego. Aired for just 13 eps on FX back in the day, only a couple of years before streaming platforms really hit big (and where it likely would have found its audience) and I've mourned "what could have been" ever since. Can't recommend it enough, despite the final ep having a bit of a "lady or the tiger" ending. I urge you to seek it out.

Declining education levels and untreated mental health issues really are going to cook everybody, aren't they? Good lord.

So messed up... And "own goal"-type errors (if that is genuinely what this turns out to be) like this are doubly infuriating in that they not only unnecessarily smear uninvolved civilians but also provide ammo to bad-faith actors who will now double down on their insistence the entire push for transparency is a "witch hunt". The last thing the world needs is to give the flailing MAGA attack apparatus ammo. Ugh.
