Jimmy Carter was right about the Malaise and rather than try to give another warning which would fall on deaf ears, he chose to simply die and let us deal with our own bullshit. Frankly, I don't blame him.
I'm reminded of Heinlein's assertion that, far from being the rational animal, mankind is the rationalizing animal.
More education doesn't guarantee more accurate beliefs. It frequently results in a greater ability to justify existing beliefs, regardless of their accuracy.
There was an old Bugs Bunny cartoon I saw all the time as a kid where Red Riding Hood kept singing "The 5 o'clock Whistle" and as an adult it just randomly hit me one day that the dad in that song was not "out till half past two" because he was still working at the factory.
Screen capture of a post from Jon Bois which reads: there's a small subset of people here who are driven mad whenever they aren't allowed to quote or reply to something. they think everything they see on their phone is their property and they just short-circuit. they'll bust through the floorboards to yell at you. it's really something to see
Also, there are horrible, petty, contrarian people in the world who will do something simply because you've told them they can't. I sincerely hope they learn more discipline and maturity. It's such a childish habit.

You're a menace to society! 😂
The Library of Congress is a repository library, meaning that EVERY book and many other journals and publications published in the U.S. are put there. EVERY BOOK! She didn't SELECT them, you ignorant, racist twats.
TLDR: Trump is blocking Afghan allies who worked to support our troops from coming here as refugees from the Taliban, and instead granting refugee status for White Afrikaners, who he'll have flown here on a private jet on the taxpayer dime.
Hard not to be furious about it, IMHO.
Abolish ICE. Impeach the president.
The Library of Congress.
You know.
That little birdhouse-on-a-post thing filled with free books outside the Capitol building.
Last fall Niall Ferguson chastised me on Xitter for suggesting Trump could turn fascist, asserting, "fascism was all about state control of the economy and militarisation in preparation for war, pretty much the opposite of Trump's philosophy."
Just thinking about that for no reason whatsoever.
Merrick Garland didn't do this and we're all living with the consequences. basic rule of law, democratic republic hygiene stuff

Since it appears needs to be said: the authority to suspend habeas corpus lies with Congress, not the President, and is only legal during extreme circumstances of rebellion or invasion.
Stephen Miller is full of shit.
The first Democratic governor who sends their state troopers into an ICE field office to free someone ICE has kidnapped is going to be president in four years.

I am a human being with over 200 videos on my channel teaching Japanese from beginner level to advanced.
Styles range from textbook-style grammar breakdowns to teaching Japanese through anime, songs, and guided manga and light novel translation.

If you are going to fight a gorilla, you need to train like a gorilla (sit naked in the forest and eat as many ant as you can get your hands on).
John Waters standing beside a wall with a sign that says: The John Waters Restrooms. All Gender. Not my photo.
In 2000, John Waters donated 372 pieces of his art collection to the Baltimore Museum of Art. They named a rotunda after him in their gallery. He requested an all-gender restroom be named for him instead. #BOTD
But there's only two dots. 😭
Check out how the anchors of CBS Evening News ended their broadcast tonight:
Now it's nearly 270 university presidents who have signed onto this "unprecedented government overreach" public letter. It was less than 180 this morning.

Two NYT headlines stating the WH wants to promote more childbearing and the EPA is ending testing for chemicals that hurt children.
Two headlines in the New York Times today.
It was the worst of times, it was the even worse than that of times
We all know this doesn't "solve" the problem. But if nothing else, this shatters the assertion that all Democrats can do is to plead with Republicans since they are in the minority in Congress. It should be a reminder that we can, in fact, expect more from our elected leaders.
Do. Something.

Seems like the Trump administration might be looking for anti-Semitism in all the wrong places.
