Describing one’s self as an “____enjoyer,” (politics enjoyer, Michigan enjoyer, etc.) has reached max saturation. The term is already beginning to sound cringe, and I suspect in no less than five years will have same cringe-level as “Coffee FTW!” or “epic bacon.”

UK state ideology would be hard to better summarise than a police officer arresting a dying boy begging for help over accusations of 'racism' while his murderer watches on, free. There are tiers to the system, and Henry was at the bottom.
'Henry told officers that he could not breathe nine times. He told them he had been stabbed four times. The response from one officer was "I don't think you have, mate".' x.com/GBNEWS/status/20614779…

Reagan breaking air traffic controllers should be the aim here
LIRR Train operators average over $230K in total annual compensation with a lifetime pension when you retire at 58. And they are shutting it down until they get more. Public Unions are crooks holding public services hostage. End all public unions, and automate the trains.

I really like this theory and had heard it thrown around and used it my self, but once I tried to find if anyone had actually substantiated that the change in architecture was due to the FDIC. Actually very hard to find any studies, and the change in bank branch architecture seems to line up with the general trend towards functionalism post-war, instead of starting with the FDIC in the 30s
A bank in my old neighborhood was built grandly like this a century ago, because banks needed to advertise their wealth and stability. Then we got the FDIC and people no longer cared, so now it's a stunningly opulent Trader Joe's.

Trump has Tourette’s and one of his tics is saying “we’re gonna have to bring the women’s team.” Feel differently now?

Law schools have already figured out how to handle this problem. The problem is that Harvard students are not just competing against other Harvard students but those of Yale, Princeton, Stanford etc. If one school does unilaterally grade deflation, they unfairly prejudice their own students for jobs, which is bad for the school. The solution is to create a strict grading curve, but one that is incommensurable with other schools. To do this, you just have to abandon A, B and C, which have strong baggage and just go to a different symbol. UChicago law does this by making their grading system go from 155-186. Even though a Yale “A” could be different from a Harvard “A” if one school mandates only the top 20% can have them, and the other doesn’t, employers will subconsciously compare them. Harvard should basically just create a new grading system, then enforce the curve to avoid this

I don’t know why people are treating this like it’s sovereign citizen mumbo jumbo. The idea that you can be tried for the same crime twice, even if found non-guilty by a jury is not obvious. There was a SCOTUS case in 2019 and Ginsburg and Gorsuch dissented!
“Your honor my client can’t be guilty because he lacks the mental capacity.”

Consider these pieces. The first is of Sahure, and is from the Old Kingdom (2450 BC). The second is a phaoroh from the Late Period, around 650 BC. So these two pieces are 1800 years apart. Then by the time the Romans come in, that unique style is basically lost and have you have stuff like this, or the thing you posted

The New England WASPs were an incredible ruling class. Much of the Ivy League, the NE prep schools, etc. (not to mention the Constitution itself!), reflect their patriotism, openness, generosity, thrift, far-sightedness, reverence for education, and so on. Genuinely morn their passing from relevance.

I think it speaks to the decency of George and Barbara Bush as parents that despite Dubya and Jeb both being born with silver spoons in their mouths, both are incredibly humble and self-deprecating. The exact opposite of a certain other President who was born into wealth.

Putting McNamara, who probably 98% of the player base did not know, in the game over someone like LBJ was an inspired choice
In like 2040, we’re going to get a Call of Duty zombies map, and there’ll be Biden, Trump, Maduro and Bolton as playable character

Every airport has signage that specifies “Ground Transportation” - seems unnecessary You can imagine that the original signs just said transportation until some smug employee was like “well, I’m pretty sure there is transportation all around us 😏”

Guy who thinks that any question in a congressional hearing is asked in “good faith”
Replying to @ArmandDoma
Because the questions are nonsense attacks not asked in good faith and answering them is ceding ground to and benefiting Josh Hawley.
