    I find myself cheering every time Harris screws up and laughing when the other side is gnashing their teeth and rending their clothes. Then I look at the other side and mutter “Oh, FFS”…

      I'm not cheering. You can't have half the country be insane. Shit it doesn't even take half, historically once you got past about 10 percent you'd start to have serious upheaval. I personally enjoy filling up my tank without having to worry about some bomber taking me out because the store owner happened to support Planned Parenthood or the NRA or whatever dumbass shit justifies carnage in the mind of the bomber.

      Please love yourself.

        One of the issues that I’m becoming a little bit of an absolutist about is the free speech thing.

        The MTG weather control and hurricane shit drives me nuts, and the logical part of me says, yeah, there should be a way to quiet that kind of insanity, but then I think about how much worse it is if you do. And yes, the slippery slope that happens from there.

            Tim Walz has advocated for those sorts of controls on free speech. The abandonment of the first amendment is entirely mainstream in the leftist masses under the control of their moral panic.

            Education is extremely important.

              Our storytelling devices have outpaced our sensibilities. Which means that videos can tell very convincing stories of just about anything right now. It does indeed make freedom of speech dangerous. We're literally not sufficiently acclimated to this form of speech to respond to it reasonably.

              But I agree with you in that censorship would be far worse.

              Please love yourself.

                Judges.

                Presidents come and go, but Federal judges are for life. In our system, it's really only a binary choice...Whose judges would you rather have, Trump's or Harris'?

                  Key historiographical themes include: changing interpretations of gender/sexuality by successive generations of historians, identities such as “trans” as both categories of analysis and objects of historical inquiry themselves, the challenges presented by sources that overlook, misrepresent, or obscure gendered subjectivity, and the political stakes of trans history during times of backlash and hostility towards trans communities.

                  Nikita's words not mine.

                  historiographical ?

                    The New College of Florda was a stoner heaven full of "Studies" majors and courses. Of course there is nothing wrong with stoner colleges if the kids parents pay the bill for him/her/they/them/it to attend. The problem is when they insist that the taxpayers of Florida pay for the school. Governor Ron did a pretty good thing erasing the old New College and most of all the other "Studies" programs in the other state universities and colleges. We're all happy here.

                    For a while there Florida was following the overall liberal trend and then DeSantis got elected and things really reversed. I can't say it was all about DeSantis, but a good leader can definitely sway attitudes and minds.

                      You’re confusing “Holy shit, those MFers actually elected me, I better give them something” DJT with the current “Bill Clinton is my political idol” version of DJT.

                        You'd rather have " Justice Jackson doesn't lean left enough" Harris?

                          You should be able to enroll and audit just that one course, and I’m guessing the “tuition” for auditing one course should come in well below $10k, considering the typical student takes eight to ten courses per academic year and assuming that the $71k tuition you cited is the cost for one academic year.

                            Thanks for the tip! I would consider it, but I'm going to be busy for the next couple of semesters organizing and rearranging my sock drawer.

                            The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
