BREAKING: Yvette Cooper says she is suspending all applications to bring family members to the UK under the asylum system.
Get the hell off Substack before you literally can’t anymore without blowing up your business
No, no, let him cook. Let him think that maybe the reason underperforming groups are underperforming is environmental factors, like maybe discrimination that they wouldn't feel in their homeland. Nobody should ever correct him on this.

If the shooter is using эи for long ā, that's reasonable (although эй would be better in my opinion). But the other outlet seems to have transcribed ‘beyon’ (intending a short ĕ) and then given up.
Here in Nebraska we have a sandwich chain (similar to Subway) called Little King, so with that, Burger King, and Little Caesar's, we just need Burger Caesar to complete the pattern.
Anyone who is currently promoting Gavin Newsom as a candidate for President, is either a damned fool or hates trans and homeless people. Come back in three years and talk about voting for the lesser evil. Right now, you're just trying to create the difficult situation that you pretend to deplore.
What the hell are you Newsom people even talking about? Trash the country??? Fuck off!
I'll be more specific: The next time anybody has the opportunity to vote for Newsom, it will be in a 2028 primary, and he will almost certainly *not* be the least evil candidate there. Referring now to his future opponents as enemies of democracy is a straight-up 100% bald-faced transphobic lie.
I want to know what the fuck these people are trying to do here. If Newsom is nominated for President in 2028, *then* I might have to consider who his opponent is and whether he's the lesser evil. Until then, all of this garbage is just not true.
I guess fascism alone won't explain it, because not all fascists are alike in all respects, but this is a rational project with an ideological basis. They *want* to kill us. They want to kill the weak and unfit. Vaccines are dangerous because they muddle the distinction between strong and weak.
From what I understand the laws that now have some states requiring covid prescriptions were written in good faith when we had a functioning govt to prevent people getting vaccines not approved by the CDC and ACIP (Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices). They will have to be changed now 1/
It wouldn't ask that. Have you seen South Pacific? They're too woke!
Well, the point isn't to check what the teacher knows, but what the teacher is willing to say. They're probably perfectly happy for you you look it up, but you have to look it up on PragerU if you want to make sure that you get the intended answer.
TIL the crocodile from Peter Pan has a name (at least the Disney version).
Neither CVS nor Walgreens would let me schedule covid for a child, only for an adult (or flu for a child). Should I expect this to be available later, or are children out of luck? (This is in Nebraska.)
It's not just that we paid for it or that most of us are eligible anyway. The CDC, in saying that those who don't have these conditions do not need the vaccine, lied first! As for RFKJ, the instigator of this lie, he is trying to kill us. You have the right to lie to a murderer.
Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it will ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.” Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment. No questions asked. No proof required. Pass it on.
Any chance that False Dmitry I was actually the real Dmitry but they decided he sucked and got rid of him?
Hey Firefox users.
What cemetery does this say? It is in Florence, South Carolina.
It still wouldn't have worked. It was a Monday.
If you mean that Gondorians (or rather Dúnedain) were in contact with the Americas, yes. But this is all long before Columbus (and Magellan), and it was forgotten about in subsequent ages. It's also not clear if those lands were peopled yet; perhaps Native Americans are descended from Dúnedain.
Covid surges in Red States will also make it worse in Blue States, so while I realize this just make things harder, anything they can do to get vaccines to the rest of us will help.
This is good: With Trump/RFK destroying CDC, JB Pritzker's officials are exploring the possibility of buying Covid vaccines from manufacturers and distributing them in-state themselves, source tells me. Dem govs must step up and fill the void. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1998...
Got a message from the dean today about students using LLMs to cheat, and sometimes I can't tell if she's using ‘AI’ for ‘artificial intelligence’ or ‘academic integrity’. In any case, there's going to be a presentation next month on one of those topics that covers its intersection with the other.

I had my socialism socks in my socialism sacks on my way to get some socialism secks but I got socialism sicks and that's why socialism sucks.
I could use some socialism socks.
I hope this is a joke. [Insert Principal Skinner ‘Am I out of touch?’ meme.]

I find screen protectors so annoying (they're supposed to be invisible, but they're really not) that I never use them anymore. Instead, I make sure that I have a good case, and my phone seems to handle falls just fine. Only a direct strike with (or onto) something pointy will damage the screen.
If you go to Best Buy, they'll put it on for you. In theory, you should tell them that you ordered it from them and had it shipped to you, but in my experience they never ask. (Just like Jiffy Lube will air up your tires whether you got your oil change from them or not.)
Oh, so it doesn't matter if *you're* in the eruv or not; you're providing the NK person with a Shabbat meal in a hospitable location, but you could go to the other side of the country for all that matters?
[Having read some more context now also] I see, the eruv isn't there so that they can carry this stuff; it's there so that you're hosting them, since you're both in the eruv (and the eruv is one shared private domain for halachic purposes, even if they end up several miles away), yes?
So you have to watch the map to make sure that the taxi never leaves the eruv? Maybe there should be some method to temporarily include the interior of the taxi in the eruv just in case. (Of course you can't trust the driver since no observant Jew would be driving at that time.)
I will read that. But if you can't answer my question in about three words, I think it's because there is no answer.
I just got told that if I don't believe that ChatGPT deserves free speech, then I don't believe that deaf people deserve free speech either.
@thelouvreof.bsky.social
*Who* spoke it?
Oh my fucking god that is not what I'm saying.
No! No one spoke them. This claim is 100% bullshit. I probably agree with you on just about everything related to First Amendment law, but you fundamentally don't understand how chatbots work if you think that someone spoke those words.
ChatGPT talking a kid through killing himself isn't a First Amendment issue at all.
I thought I didn't know any sign language besides the alphabet, but it turns out I understand what Mariner is signing.
No, you're not ineligible for the vaccine. Let me introduce you to the concept of lying.
Told by who? And what was stopping those firefighters from beating the shit out of whoever told them not to interfere? Hopefully they just weren't prepared for something like this and every firefighter in the country knows what to do next time.
ICE took 2 firefighters OFF THE FUCKING FIRE LINE!?
There's a related folk tale that ends with a different punch line you might also enjoy ... (we tell it with Czernowitz) So the town heretic comes to the city and asks ‘where is so-and-so, the famous skeptic’ ‘oh, in the shul’ ‘in shul? What's he doing there?’ ‘studying, he's a scholar after all’ ..
Abbe Lowell and I represent CDC Director #SusanMonarez. Contrary to govt statements, Dr. Monarez has neither resigned nor yet been fired. She will not resign. We have issued the following statement:
Oh, I like this logic! If any demographic group is divided, they're playing both sides. Christians are playing both sides; Muslims are playing both sides. Whites are playing both sides; Blacks are playing both sides. Men are playing both sides; women are playing both sides. It's very useful!
Her driver's licence says female, and you can get X in Minnesota (since 2018). Your broader point is right that we don't know much for sure.
That's true, but it's ‘more feminine’ (as Evan said) than her former name (presumed deadname), which is still almost always masculine.
You can reject 6 and 14 since 31^3 and 31^7 weren't −1 either. Not that GPT explained that reasoning either; but still, it might have been following the pattern of someone who went about a similar problem in this way.
When I was invited to create something to "I, Comic" a book being distributed to people in incarceration to encourage creativity, ĺ decided to introduce them to the work of the great prison poet Etheridge Knight. With permission from his estate, we made this!
This is how you know Star Trek may be set in the future but it was written in the past. Nobody would believe such a thing now.
In the sober light of day, I may think that it's dumb; but late at night scrolling on my phone when I should be going to sleep, it's hilarious.
Canada has fully approved Moderna’s 2025-2026 COVID19 vaccine.
My councilwoman @janeese4dc.bsky.social put out a plea to neighbors to not order food delivery because of law enforcement targeting delivery drivers.
You just made my night.
Any Gavriel, so this is more ‘Reb’ than necessarily ‘Rabbi’?
Still ‘Rabbi Gavriel’ though? It seems overly familiar as a way to refer to a rabbi, but maybe not in an age before surnames have been fully established.
Halfway through this quote (and not having read the book title yet), I thought this *was* Vimes.
when people talk about how American liberals would be right-wingers in Europe, I remind them that at least when it comes to migration, basic American libs are to the left of anyone in Europe except the anarchists, though
(Oops, you already answered †.)
Nice! So ‘son-in-law[*] of R[abbi] G.V.’ (for some sense of V[†]) [*] or ‘bridegroom’, although in this context it's basically the same thing, which I guess explains how the word for one took on the meaning of the other [†] but couldn't it be פ which is even closer to the F of Chargaff?
So what does this name mean? What's the root and what's the suffix? (if that's even how it works).
Google (which when I don't use quotation marks thinks that I must mean ‘panther’) suggests that it exists only in German (z.B. www.namenforschung.net/dfd/dictiona...)
August 2023, which I think means it has to be the Philip Tour. (I can't find any definitive cast names.)
That may be; I haven't seen it! I guess I should. (And for the record, I have seen Hamilton: first the original-cast movie they put on Disney+, and later a live show with a touring cast.)
What we need is sober warts-and-all appraisal, but that takes work, so we don't get it.
I think mockery and reverence are both at fault here. There's no better example of this than Trump, who by his actions makes a mockery of it, but by his words pretends reverence. He wants to shut down critical museum displays and trample the Constitution at the same time.
They are archetypes, but their portrayal is based on real people, they're named after those people, and almost every plot point in the play is something that really happened (at least to Hamilton if not the others). So I think Philby is right that the play gives Alexander Hamilton a new afterlife.
A big theme of Hamilton is legacy and who tells history. And it's become unintentionally (?) metatextual because this musical is now his most well-known legacy (he used to be the guy on the $10 bill, now he's the guy in the musical of that name), and it's Chernow and Miranda who tell his story.

I count chana masala (if there's a difference between this and chole then I don't know it) as my favourite food, even though (not being much of a traveller) I've eaten it *only* in the USA. I must assume that it's even better in India or Pakistan.
Nothing beats Punjabi food IMO, but I still love me some dosa and sambar.
I love how you took the phrase ‘pour encourager les autres’, removed the verb, and took the resulting phrase and used *it* as a verb. And I understood it!
I think picking the 1970s should be an automatic F.
This is the make or break moment for Powell's @federalreserve.gov. If they do not defend Lisa Cook and treat her as still on the Board, the fight over the Fed as an independent agency will officially be over. see my Friday piece. www.crisesnotes.com/trump-vs-pow...
Now this is a journalist who deserves respect.
Axios and Bloomberg still have such language up (‘Trump fires Fed governor Lisa Cook’ and ‘Trump Fires Fed Governor Cook, Escalating Attack on Central Bank’).
if you wind back the clock a year and say “trump will be president, he’ll tear up entire agencies without any legislative authority, ignore court orders, build a concentration camp, and send troops into multiple US cities” you wouldn’t ask “well how many troops?” before deciding what this describes

Wow, I sure *hope* Bob didn't read it, because the alternative (if *this* cites the reasons that he supports) is that he's an out and proud white supremacist.
real talk, where can I get a Covid booster shot before RFK fucks things up even more? Is CVS still doing them? www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump...
NOW: Judge Xinis is presiding over a writ petition filed by Mr. Abrego. She's proposing the government respond by Wednesday, and a hearing Friday at 11 AM. She says extending a TRO is necessary because there appears to be a violation of the law. 1/
Not a coincidence! www.moviefone.com/news/back-to...
Unironically I think this is what they (transphobes) believe.
If you're talking about the Trump administration, yes.
The boycott was organized by the pre-Franco government. They planned an alternative anti-fascist Olympiad, and the games were just about to begin when the Civil War started.
Alexandria & DMV people: I need to hire a contractor to replace the handrails in my stairwell. The wall does not have studs. I need the ones bolted to the floor that are good for at least 250lbs. It's a code issue as well, so this is a liscence/bond/insured situation. DM me with recs
It's an understandable mistake! (especially considering I used to do it myself).
I like the disclaimer at the end where they insist that they're not doing it to be woke or anything (so their conservative readership should not get mad).
Do you mean the apteryx? (which is a kiwi bird, a fully modern bird despite sometimes being portrayed as primitive in the comic).

Good news about the 15-puzzle: half of the positions are inaccessible, so that's only 1 trillion. Bad news: I think you miscounted the digits, because I get 10 trillion.
