Does BLS consider online-only publications newspapers?

It’s 1914. In an offensive battle the Germans underestimate French morale and their ability to bring up reserves.

The current US administration's achievements seem to be measles for American children and missiles for Iranian children

All of my best work is done in other people’s replies.

>Senate made of old people that doesn’t exercise its powers
>Rightoids worried about trade deficit with China blame consumers
>Emperor spends most of his time in villas rather than in capital
>Epidemics growing

Yep that tracks

Sorry, you get QAnon, not Cura annonae

Isn’t that Bill Maher?

I remember when Bouie changed his profile pic for a white guy to see if he would get less vitriolic criticism and wondered if this was a similar kind of bit to reclaim anonymity.

Dilution refrigerator? More like delusion fridge.

I’m here for the grout chat.

Just saw that one of our grad student had "Moses Lenin" as his middle names, parents wanted all bases covered concerning the supernatural.

Does your grill run on coal?

Pam Bondi told us to look at the DoW and by god we will.

Photo portrait of Charles De Gaulle during WW2, except his eyes are glowing red lasers.

Two weeks ago the energy sector was worried about French nuclear overcapacity. Today, at EDF:

It’s March 2022. Europe has an energy crisis because German power plants rely on cheap gas from an autocracy.
It’s March 2026. Europe has an energy crisis because German power plants rely on cheap gas from an autocracy.

You get Kavanaugh dissents saying you are actually more powerful than if you had won the argument?

Next year maybe, I was probably a bit green for this year's jury (92% of eventual interviewees obtained their PhD before me)
Also it seems strongly recommended to have worked in France before (~90% as well)

No, you’re the one who spent two hours this morning making stats of who the CNRS Astronomy committee decided to interview this year to figure out how likely your rejection was (very likely).

How bad is the covariance between all of those?

45 observables? Wow you people are lucky, we have like 10 bins to fit 2 cosmo parameters, 3 dust parameters and a billion systematics :/

Marginalize over some of them or something, there’s no way a pulsar has enough observables for you to fit all of these.

Inshallah Bibi gets voted out in favor of a left coalition immediately after the war ends.
I wish Donald Trump a nice trip to Warm Springs.

I have opinions on Captain Burnham's overall job performance, but I think she is probably on-par with Picard for supporting her staff.

I'm honestly as annoyed by the astrology being culture as I am at literature, film, music, and theater being listed as entertainment.

A menu of magazine sections in a web page The first heading under the "Culture" headline is "Astrology, Tarot and Witchcraft" followed by Community, First Person, Identity, LGBT Businesses and LGBT History. Film, theater, music, Literature etc are listed under the "entertainment" section header

Oh it's a magazine for irrational people. That explains a bit.

I don’t care about other people’s sexuality, but I reached "The sort of grown men who give their seats, speak up, help carry heavy things", realized the author couldn’t recognize she enjoyed aspects of patriarchy, and just detached from the piece. I’d call it enlightenment on your side.

Look at my president dawg, that man is not up to the task. AAUP and UC faculty sued and won, Columbia settled and is getting invaded by ICE, what does he think can be gained by negotiating.

Not stoked by my elderly relative pushing a Doctors plot-like tweet on the family group chat without noticing the obvious antisemitism. To paraphrase: "Haha the Mossad implanted radios in Khameni’s teeth via undercover dentists (laudatory)"
Indistinguishable from 1953 NKVD fabrications.

What if Roger Keyes had a Time Machine ?
