@KatieMiller Yeah? How the hell could Taco Bell be Taco Bell if it wasn't pulling thousands of customers in a state with millions of people?

@punished_bobda It's

@MichLKosinski This reflects much, much worse on you than it does on him.

@Angry_Staffer @GsuGrinding You did, dumbass.

@SaraGonzalesTX @shea_jordan The OAG is a lying piece of shit, sorry you had to find out this way.

[Robert Anderson 🐀 @thatdarnedbob]

@Distant_Mirror_ @Floatinginwaves @JillFilipovic OK but you see how that's really fucking bad, right

@loganb the whole book ain't about that though

@Timcast I've noticed that on math tests, all the "correct" answers are basically the same, but the "incorrect" answers show a lot of diversity of thought

George Santos got nailed for wire fraud and identity theft.

Basically, he tricked campaign donors into giving cash, then swiped it for fancy clothes, vacations, and his own wallet—while faking reports to the FEC and stealing unemployment bucks during COVID.

And after pleading guilty to what he did, and got 7 years, trump just commuted his sentence for "always voting Republican."

If you're cheering that corruption because Santos is "on your team," If you ONLY care about crime if it's committed by a Democrat, you're a disgusting part of the problem.

By contrast, we practically threw Senator Bob Menendez out on his ass BEFORE he was convicted for corruption.

We are NOT the same.

@JDVance No stars. Not our flag. Get the fuck out of here.

If you want to major in math at an elite university, but all the knowledge you show up with is high school math and AP Calculus, and you’re not a genius, then you’re probably going to get your ass handed to you.

High school math – even the “honors” track, even getting a 5 on the AP Calculus BC exam – often doesn’t accurately depict the level of background knowledge (especially proof-writing ability) that is assumed in serious math-major courses.

It is not uncommon for elite university admits who are serious about majoring in math to graduate high school
-- having already taken linear algebra & multivariable calculus and
-- having already received plenty of exposure to proofs including inklings of real analysis (e.g., epsilon-delta limit proofs) and abstract algebra (e.g., structure of the additive & multiplicative groups of integers).

These students make up such a tiny slice of the overall student population that you’re unlikely to encounter them as classmates in high school, but they do exist, and they’re going to be concentrated in the math-major classes at elite universities.

Much of the content – or, at least, the overall way of thinking about it – will be familiar to them, and as a result, they'll have a far outsized ability to keep up with fast-paced, poorly-scaffolded instruction, even if they're not geniuses.

If you’re not able to do the same, then the class is not going to slow down just for you. Not to mention, you’re going to feel dumb, which is going to severely impact your motivation.

@WeirdMedieval SRNRS? Huh. Intriguing.

Pretty cool that my electric bill has gone up 25% so other people can make this crap.

NYC is really really REALLY lucky city planners in between the Civil War and WWII massively overbuilt the city, planning for the century ahead.

Today we don't plan for the future anymore. We create an overly idealized version of the past in our minds and fight any change to it.

@METROHouston @mightylzrdking I drive everywhere. I don't take the train anywhere. The train should always get priority, it's a train.

US soldiers opened fire on a group of mostly unarmed women children and elders in the Wounded Knee Massacre slaughtering over 300 Lakota civilians. Survivors witnessed troops chasing down children running away to butcher them.

Only a nazi regime would want to honor that

@Cernovich Telling the truth hasn't worked in years. Late to the party?

[Robert Anderson 🐀 @thatdarnedbob]

@neeratanden Would it also be helpful to run Democrats who oppose the right of women and minorities to vote and hold public office? Just want to make sure we aren't missing any possible supporters out there

This woman wrote a post on her Facebook that included, “His death is a tragedy, and I can and do feel for his wife and children… I can and do pray for his soul”

How many qualifiers must people make before they’re allowed to express a political opinion without losing their jobs?
