First day in the lake of fire and everyone's asking what you're in for and you have to say "I spent $3.3m in state money on bibles endorsed by Donald Trump and the 'God Bless The USA' guy in my capacity as a public employee." All the demons rolling their hideous eyes like "look at this dork."

As someone who's lived in places with two massive chemical spills, ADVICE THREAD: 1) If someone offers you cash to sign saying if you get health issues later it's not their fault, DO NOT SIGN without a lawyer. 2) If you can leave, do. Cover your face and skin, protect your eyes.

Clay Higgins got into policing and then politics because he's pretty much a sociopath, which fits. But he got where he is now in large part because of national media attention as The Viral Cajun Cop. He's as vile as he ever was, and also something like normal. defector.com/clay-higgins...

This is a great piece from Adam, and gets at a deeper point, too: by making the election about race, it makes eventual election denialism easier. Beliefs in fraud and the Big Lie are grounded in fear of threats to white supremacy www.kevintmorris.com/_files/ugd/7...

Obviously the first thing I did was sort the database to find the most cashed-up anti-abortion pregnancy center. It's in Houston, and they took in $216,910,569 in 2022. And they want you to know they are definitely not just handing out free diapers to anyone.Obviously the first thing I did was sort the database to find the most cashed-up anti-abortion pregnancy center.

Are people still saying that Amy Wax was punished for her extramural speech?

Examples of Wax's discriminatory conduct on-campus include, but are not limited to: 
-- Telling Black student Ayana Lewis L' 12, who asked whether Wax agreed with panelist John Derbyshire's statements that Black people are inherently inferior to white people, that "you can have two plants that grow under the same conditions, and one will just grow higher than the other." In an interview with Quinn Emanuel, Lewis reported that she felt devastated at being made to feel "not good enough" and like she "had to prove herself." She explained that in that moment she felt "powerless" to respond to Wax because as a first-year student up against a tenured professor, "I had everything to lose and she had nothing to lose." As a result, she felt forced to "box in" her feelings and 
the moment go "unchecked," which was incredibly difficult in the face of blatant racism 
-- Telling Black student Lauren O'Garro Moore L' 12 that she had only become a double Ivy "because of affirmative action." ...
