The midwest and southern US named a lot of towns after other famous foreign cities, then refused to ever pronounce them correctly, as a hilarious own on foreigners

Miami grew from a population of 300 that first year to around 2,500 by 1902. there's also Miami University in Ohio. I like to imagine international students arriving there with really different expectations.

Went to a patient unit and heard two rooms side by side both tuned to I guess Fox News going off about wokeism. I'm just waiting for the day these outlets go full RTLM. And the most succ part is that I can't even find a DEI group or anything on Teams to make some smoke about getting these channel banned here, contrary to the pings I get most of the time. Not that I expect that to actually happen, but you know.

All the different media mouthpieces for Brandon are already priming libs to eat the big anti-stimulus poo poo sandwich that’s coming down the pipe. The sad part is it’ll probably work. The student loan subreddit is full of cucks graciously thanking Joe for three whole years of not needing to pay instead of getting pissed that he’s cutting them off.

huh, no one was saying they were loans in name except as a criticism, as opposed to objective description of the program intent, until now. Most people usually just call words meaning other words in important financial agreements "lying" but I guess that's what separates the gullible from the go-getters

Tommy Tuberville is mad that the military is paying for abortions for service members. He can't do anything about that directly, but for some dumbass reason, Senate rules allow him to stall all Senate approval of military promotions, so he's been doing that for months. Today the Senate is in session but Tuberville isn't there because he's off kissing Trump's rear end in person. Maybe the Democrats should take advantage of his absence and pass all the military promotions tonight? https://twitter.com/igorbobic/status/1668705915476795393 I mean, I don't really give a gently caress if some military people don't get promoted, but come on now that's just sad.

If they're not going to use their advantage to give troops more money there's zero chance they will use any advantage they have to do something good and there's no reason to think they'll ever do anything republicans don't want them to do
