lol and also see John Mulaney’s latest “Baby J” on the topic of doctors prescribing whatever:
Paraphrasing - what you do is you go to Yelp and look up doctors in your area. And then you sort by lowest rating and you find the lowest rated doctor. They need your business.
I was held for two hours. The first round of questions was about my views on Hamas. Then the agents wished to know whether I thought Israel’s actions in the Gaza Strip amount to genocide and what I think of the slogan “Palestine should be free from the river to the sea”. I said yes, I do think Israel is committing...
Show me where I said “he couldn’t possibly be connected to Hamas?”
But technically if you want to make the argument that Israel is responsible for Hamas, shouldn’t they be stopping every Israeli at the border in the US?
No, it seems they’re targeting this guy in particular because he advocates on behalf of Palestine.
Imagine the Queen criticizing Kate for being “flamboyant.” This word echoes negative racist stereotypes disseminated by white culture of how Black women act and dress. Now to be clear there is nothing flamboyant about this dress and when compared with Kate both dresses are large and grandiose. It’s not just that she’s not “virginal” it’s the “in your face”-ness about it that the Queen has commented on. What did Megan do differently than any other Royal bride on her wedding day to stand out except be black?
it is possible that the dress appears to be whiter because Megan’s skin is darker, which is also subtly racist. Black women need to be relegated to a different shade of white when they’re divorced now? Come on.
Camilla the divorcee wore white on her wedding day to Divorced Charles the 3rd. She just had an ugly - and I might say quite flamboyant - overcoat over it.
“I just wanna debate this guy, but you know– and I’m gonna demand a drug test too, by the way,” Trump said as the audience cheered. “I am. No, I really am. I don’t want him coming in like the State of the Union. He was high as a kite.”
This one I’m not so scandalized about. I’m sure every White House admin does this - they have hard and punishing international work where they need to be sharp. Ronnie Jackson was there during Obama too.
“I want to reassure Canadians that the Canada Revenue Agency does not intend to collect any portion of any non-resident landlords’ unpaid taxes from individual tenants,” read a statement released by Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau on X, formerly known as Twitter, Friday afternoon....
So they should pay back that dude who lost against the CRA in court on this very issue, including legal fees, interest, moving costs and emotional suffering, right???
I can’t really stand this guy’s voice so I skimmed through the video.
I couldn’t find if he addresses that there could be a plausible explanation - Governments only retain emails for a set amount of time.
What was the retention policy for the emails? The program was started in 2008 - this means we’re 16 years past the start date where it looks to me based on a very quick google that most US government emails only need to be retained for 7-15 years.
Have you considered that the economy is a lagging indicator meaning it can take years for any policy good or bad to take effect?
Obama inherited bad fiscal policy. Trump inherited the economy that Obama put into place with his policies guiding America through the recession. That’s why the economy under Trump was “good” Covid, major war, supply shortages, inflation got us here. Biden has spent the last 4 years turning this around but it is an uphill climb.

Israel’s military said on Monday it had begun encouraging residents of Rafah to evacuate the southern Gazan city as part of a ‘limited scope’ operation, but did not immediately confirm media reports this was part of preparation for a ground assault....
And they don’t pay taxes, apparently. So yeah we’re getting cheap furniture but I do wonder if the net benefit to society would be better if they paid tax.
I should mention this link is from a tax firm almost glorifying the way that ikea has structured themselves. It’s a very charitable reading of the situation.
Just google IKEA tax, there’s tons of sources on their alleged tax evasion, including it seems claims by the EU that the Netherlands facilitates it.
I see this as corporate greed pure and simple. There is no reason people should be starving and unhoused while IKEA dodges taxes.
I really wish they would stop using any balloon as an explanation. We know they’re not balloons, they know they’re not balloons. The author is right that this excuse really insults the intelligence of the general public.
