@Braden_Keith I think a lot of people relate to their area code. A little odd for a big university like Iowa State, but it is certainly different.

[Adam Mahler @MahlerAdam]

Okay, yes. Also foreign dignitaries with diplomatic immunity. But that’s not the point.

[Adam Mahler @MahlerAdam]

Because they are the only group that resides within the United States that is not subject to its jurisdiction.

[Ron DeSantis @RonDeSantis]

Evidence against the current interpretation of birthright citizenship (being challenged by the Trump admin before SCOTUS):

If anyone who is born on US soil is automatically a citizen, then why did Congress need to enact a statute granting citizenship to Native Americans?

[Bonchie @bonchieredstate]

No. Those who supported it wanted the kinetic activity to continue.

Instead, we got what the skeptics were shouting for. A hasty, premature “ceasefire.”

Would it have been over by now had we not done that? I don’t know, but it’d be in a far different place than this.

@swimswamnews Is this the third time this has been posted?

[AG @AGHamilton29]

Wow. Recoding from the released Epstein files.

A whistleblower from the UK claims John Mappin was involved in a child sex ring investigation.

Mappin is a wealthy Scientologist who has been a major backer of Candace Owens and others on the woke right.

Over 100 Canadian churches were burned over this hoax. Over 30 were completely destroyed. All over a lie.

Atheists are okay with lawyer-client privilege, therapist-client privilege and doctor-patient privilege.

But as soon as you mention priest-penitent privilege, it’s suddenly deemed intolerable and backwards, and needs to be undermined.

I have faith that our priests will stand their ground and refuse any orders to rat Christians out to the secular government.

@TomMarsLaw They don’t. This is an antitrust exemption which allows the NCAA conferences to promulgate those rules privately. Currently it is an antitrust violation to have those rules.

[Adam Mahler @MahlerAdam]

All due respect, but just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should do it. Property tax exemptions artificially increase home values, constrain supply and results in the burden of home ownership being shifted to younger families.

[Ron DeSantis @RonDeSantis]

Local governments took in $32 billion in revenue from property taxes in 2019.

Today, that number is $60 billion.

Were services “collapsed” in 2019 when it was $32 billion?

OK, account for population growth and inflation in the ensuing years. Still doesn’t get you anywhere near $60 billion.

There is no “collapse” in public services by phasing in an elimination of homestead property taxes, especially when starting the exemption at $250,000.

[Adam Mahler @MahlerAdam]

@Braden_Keith That’s been my mood about the enhanced games. I just think it’s funny in a sad way if they did do it.

[Shipwreckedcrew @shipwreckedcrew]

There is no “list”. There has never been a list. The “collection of names” came up in the Maxwell trial. There is an exhibit under seal and Maxwell explain what it was in the interview with Blanche.

This has always been an invention of the plaintiffs’ lawyers in FL who have made millions keeping this fraud/grift alive via social media.

[Adam Mahler @MahlerAdam]

@danepps Some of this, as a student, I get. Much I don’t. I understand the outlining, drafting, uploading material and presumption for AI hallucinated cases presumptions.

However, AI research is going to be a thing and like another comment stated AI grammar check is already unavoidable.

[Adam Mahler @MahlerAdam]

@Braden_Keith Massie being a lame duck member is unlikely to change anything about his voting patterns at this point. The guy went off the deep end a few years ago.

[Adam Mahler @MahlerAdam]

@emzanotti I think an issue many overlook in the “young people say things expensive” argument is that young people are actually pretty price sensitive.

I built my college budgeting around Chicken and Ground beef being under $5/lb. I usually can’t get either under that unless I buy in bulk.

Catholic dioceses in Kansas aren't closing down parishes they're building new ones

Here's 4 recently built diocesan Catholic parish's in Kansas

[Emily Zanotti 🦝 @emzanotti]

We are being led astray by the class idiots who let you do all the work on the group project and only showed up to the presentation, and it’s time we all fought back just a little.

You weren’t lied to. You’re just dumb and lack any intellectual curiosity.

[Adam Mahler @MahlerAdam]

@dilanesper As a one off, not worth it. If it prevents DC from using this as a fundraising campaign, maybe worth it depending on the person?

[Adam Mahler @MahlerAdam]

@Braden_Keith I don’t really see why it’s a bad thing. Lochte gets a bad rap. (Sometimes deserved). But he seems like a good guy and he brings a lot of knowledge and experience.

I got to meet him briefly once at ISCA in ‘21 and he seemed like a good guy.
