Well, DeSantis has been waging war on the mouse for a while, though he does seem to be backing down some.

America haters

These people also like to say that Democrats and progressives hate America.

Does anyone know how I can get this game to appear in either the NYT Games or the normal NYT app?

How does the archive.org exemption work? When is it voted on next?

Thank you for pointing this out. I wasn’t aware of this movement. It seems like a great idea!

Great photo! I always love these guys. The goth versions of Blue Jays!

I don’t want to be pedantic but it’s “Steller’s Jay”.

The bird is named after the German naturalist Georg Wilhelm Steller, the first European to record them, in 1741. source

Do you have a source that shows that he failed multiple times?

I wonder how many do-overs the rest of us would get after blatantly lying on security clearance applications.

Zero. The answer is zero. When you fill out the form for your security clearance application you are told to retain a copy and use it when completing your renewals because even minor differences between applications will raise questions. Dot correct previous mistakes, let them ride since they passed scrutiny before.

Being caught in an outright lie would be immediately disqualifying for anyone except, apparently, Kushner.

Now all ‘profit’ goes directly into the community coffer.

Only after reparations have been made to everyone impacted. I’m sure there were more than eight families who were impacted by Chiquita funding terrorists for eight years and I doubt their abuses were actually limited to those eight years.

I think it says something that one of the books they were trying to ban was Called Themselves the K.K.K: The Birth of an American Terrorist Group by Susan Campbell Bartoletti.

The primary opinion is only 27 pages. The rest is a three page concurrence a 46 page dissent by Duncan.

Oh, I agree with you. I was just answering why many college kids disliked the twin xl mattresses. That doesn’t mean they should quit using them in dorms.

And said it would be a minimum of nine months IIRC…

Because finding sheets that fit them used to be terrible. Even in a college town, you’d have very limited options. I expect this is much easier now that online shopping is a thing, though.

Do you know where that graphic comes from? The data on opensecrets.org indicates that Biden has received $5,688,069 between 1990 and 2024.

I’m not disagreeing that this is a problem. This is undoubtedly a route through which foreign money is making it into US politics and Biden is one of the biggest recipients of Pro-Israel funds. It just isn’t as much money as indicated by the graphic. It is $5,688,069 spread over 34 years but loaded heavily to more recent years.

Biden donations from Pro-Israel sources by election cycle:

• 2023-2024: $1,459,405
• 2021-2022: Unsure - Not in top 20 and can’t find full dataset
• 2019-2020: $3,753,304

All other election cycles, Biden doesn’t appear in the top 20. Simple math indicates that, outside of 2019, 2020, 2023, and 2024, Biden received an additional $475,360 over the rest of his career.

I don’t like to see that Biden received $3,753,304 in the 2019-2020 campaign cycle. That is way too much foreign influence in my opinion, even if it technically came from American organizations. That said, Biden spent $1,614,843,740 in 2019-2020 meaning that only 0.23% of that was from Pro-Israel groups.

Kyle is so good in these confrontational situations. I wish more people got to see him but broadcast news is losing viewership…

I have an important question. How did John not notice an entire cooked chicken going missing?

As someone who contributes to FOSS projects, I think you put too much trust in the ability of the community to police such things. There simply aren’t enough people reviewing project code to ensure it’s safety and compliance if a maintainer or team decide to follow bad local laws or act explicitly in a malicious way. Some things get caught but I’m sure there are things thst slip through.

Unless you are salaried. Being salaried normally comes with flexibility but gives no guarantees for breaks and number of hours worked.

Even without access to Direct File since I wasn’t in a pilot state, I’ve been using the IRS’ “Free Fillable Forms” for the last few years and they’ve worked great! They don’t hold your hand as much as the paid software but for my returns they’ve been more than adequate and free!

Does anyone know how “Direct File” differs from the “Free Fillable Forms”? Does it hold your hand a little more and help you find credits/deductions? Free Fillable Forms worked well, but only so long as I knew what I needed to file. New circumstances, like adding a dependent, lead to a lot of research.
