@HPbasketball@OnAirKarl so is your argument that Ausar plays perfect defense most of the time and doesn't use his god given super athletic talent? Should Alex win then b/c he probably makes less mistakes than Ausar?
The take I see most frequently is to just come out against trans folks, which I think is wrong on the merits but *also* risks learning the wrong lessons.
Voters were angry at things. They blamed Biden (and Harris). When you’re mad and have a hammer, everything is a nail.
This is just beyond parody. One of the leaders of the party of “law and order” is trying hide a report about potential crimes committed by the nominee to be attorney general—the top law enforcement official in the country. Cool cool cool.
Yes, prior to the development of a modern society that included things like cars and television and the internet, sure, you could find a tiny premodern agrarian state on tariffs alone.
california used to have a pretty capacious personal belief exemption for childhood vaccines that they eliminated after a measles outbreak at disneyland https://t.co/qXDESSn2Aw
We really don't talk about the RFK Jr. massacre in Samoa enough. Almost all of the deaths were kids under 4!
As Samoa has <5k births a year, he helped wipe out ~0.4% of the kids born between 2015 and 2019
ehm, let’s call it “simplistic” framing that doesn’t take into account how public health works. The idiocracy will endanger increase child mortality for a childlike view of personal freedom.
I interviewed Governor @jaredpolis a few days before the RFK pick and I think this bit of our conversation helps explain his strikingly positive reaction to the idea of RFK Jr. leading HHS:
"I was sad to see RFK leaving our coalition because his voters in Colorado are a big part of my coalition. I mean, I had to threaten to veto vaccine mandates and we were able to avoid them. We have been trying to legalize raw milk in our state for several years and we're continuing to try because it leans into empowering people to make their own choices.”
"I certainly believe in vaccinations. I get vaccinated myself. I did that publicly last week for the flu and Covid. But if you can't convince people with the data, then they have the personal freedom not to. 'Our bodies, our choice' applies not just to fetuses, but also to decisions around health care — whether it's getting vaccinated or what foods you consume."
Hey dumbfuck it's really important research to understand how variations in water temperatures and currents affect shrimp migration and behavior so that morons like you can have your $7 shrimp cocktail at Applebee's
A serious, patriotic tackling of government efficiency unshackled by the interests of medical providers and government contractors could do a fair amount of good for the American people.
This is why there were so many people killed during floods in Valencia, Spain. The local right wing administration had cut the budget weather forecasts and an early warning system, on the excuse that climate change was a hoax. There are now riots calling for their removal.
Okay, for the umpteenth time: this stat is completely fake.
The claim that "60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck" comes from a trade survey conducted by LendingClub, a bank in California that was trying to advertise to investors how profitable its personal loans are.
I don’t know why the left decided an effective form of activism was demanding a policy ask, getting some of it, and then relentlessly lying that they got NOTHING. What politician is gonna stick their neck out for a cause if its advocates relentlessly shit on them anyway?
