Murphy's Law of Research:

Enough research will tend to support your theory.

Maybe don’t use such a biblically resonant word like “strangers” when pushing an anti-immigrant agenda that directly contradicts every passage you’re unwittingly alluding to.

Pivot To AI (short video blog on YouTube, mostly daily) has hit on actual cases of Mechanical Turk "AI" repeatedly. But maybe the conspiracy nuts don't find it interesting because it's so obviously real and understood.

Wow... I thought I made that up. It's at least close to real?

Bacardi rum bottled in Florida returns to LCBO shelves The LCBO provided a statement to 680 NewsRadio saying, "The LCBO aligns with the federal government's tariff definition of U.S. products."

Sympathies to Ontario rum fans who must have been hopeful to see that block of shelves filled with something tasty instead.

THERE IS NO OTHER "ANGLE" TO THIS STORY

Back in my day, this was known as a "rumble" and the cross-town high school was the enemy. /s

Possibly there's an exception for the one at the close of Rice University's Orientation Week.

Traditional crown roasts get those little pantaloons on the bones, so maybe...

Pretty sure that's actually the thing. Something changed in shampoo broadly at some point and it just stopped being a thing.

I haven't seen a Head and Shoulders or Selsen Blue advert in two decades.

a Brandy Old Fashioned (the state cocktail) with some implication that the matter at issue was that the principal preferred them sweet (with a white soda mixer) instead of sour (grapefruit soda, as God intended).

But the class was probably the most valuable one I ever had in public school.

We learned how to calculate tax forms. How to balance a checkbook. And because it was Wisconsin, we learned how to score bowling.

Because THAT was a civic responsibility.

The school administration had, the prior year, asked Mr Fuchs to stop teaching 14-year-olds how to mix 4/

We got how to register to vote. We got lessons on what to expect for jury duty including how Wisconsin's court system differed from other states' that one might see on television(!). We got squared away with applications for Social Security numbers because that wasn't an at-birth thing then. 3/

and some history of governments in general, and gave a lot of Americans who passed through the tender mercies of Mr Fuchs ("'Fewx', thank you") the basics of US's 3-Article governance but also Westminster system and a few other forms. And then things got a little more... general. 2/

40 years ago, the Civics class I attended was in 8th grade. It was called "Governement" because it was a midpoint between the assumption that everyone needed this and the slide you note. But it was a Civics class in all respects that matter. It taught the forms of government, 1/

Even if true, the menacing is the problem, not the masks.

Couldn't think of food I wanted. 1 part barley, 2 parts rice into the rice cooker with a pat of butter. That'll hold me until I can figure out real food.

trump take cabbage? or did they only have it for Lenten fish tacos?

RCS chat dealing with an SMS-only participant?

Gotta bond over SOMETHING, right? Even if wasn't there yesterday, common experience is key.

Somebody the Trump admin wanted to promote nuclear families, didn't they?

As far as I can tell, basically any federal law enforcement can arrest anyone for a wide variety of violations of federal law. The specialization is in what they investigate.

Chart, dammit.

There's a chat of entry points, even.

You probably do. Because almost everybody needs to.
