I get where it comes from. I’m frustrated and angry too. That said, I agree that it isn’t terribly helpful and maybe they should just put the phone down and yell into a pillow for a bit.

You're in good company. It does seem weird that they didn't really think "what could go wrong with this decision" before publishing it.

This. A thousand times this. Had the dem flacks actually went out and said “did you get a load of trump’s crazy? Pelosi took responsibility for Jan 6? On what planet?” They would have a competing story and take pressure off of biden. I’m amazed the dems win any elections at this point.

Sure there is. The methodology involves justice Thomas reaching waaaaay up his ass and pulling out a poorly reasoned rationale for his preferred outcome.

The IRS IG found that they were chosen at random. i don’t have the skill or knowledge to know if they are correct, but I thought it important in the interest of full disclosure.

I think the problem is that this sort of power is easy to abuse and would require watchers to watch the watchmen. Historically what happens is the state starts using this as a cudgel to quash stories harmful to the state and not in the public interest.

I just wonder how much people really understand public policy at all. Like people who are angry about inflation and want to vote for Trump who has only offered policies that would increase inflation.

Mine (a girl) is pretty bright (for a cat). I had a ginger and a black/grey tabby who were both dumber than a box of hammers, but they were awesome kitties.

If you do get a call claiming to be from a bank's fraud department. Hang up and call the number on the back of your card. That simple act would have saved me a lot of hassle.

So, many of you are smarter than me and wouldn't fall for this scam, but in case someone out there isn't: I was scammed by a spear phishing scam claiming to be part of Chase Fraud. What threw me was 1) they spoofed the Chase phone number and 2) they had some of my transaction data. Be careful!

You can try browning them. Either fry them in some olive oil or brown them on a sheet pan. They into crispy potato goodness. You’ll need a sauce, tho.

This song was recently in my YouTube suggested videos. I suspect I’m on one or more watchlists. Although I think it’s because I recently listened to “you’re not the only bear I’ve fisted”.

I found an article that has the same numbers, but as you note, it could be a preliminary statement that will later be revised. Btw, the article didn't mention whether any of those arrested were staff or professors.
