As solid a breakdown as I've seen. It's catching fire because politicians are using this stuff as a YOU CAN'T TRUST THE GOVERNMENT AND BIDEN IS IN CHARGE OF THE GOVERNMENT YOU SHEEPLE. Before the indictment, poo poo was also generally boring with strikes and not much going on, so lots of people in media and consumer side primed for OMG ALIENS

My understanding is that nearly all of the support, and all of the official support of the KMT vanished with the formal alliance between Germany and Japan. It was seriously curtailed a few years earlier with the formation of the Anti-Comintern pact in 1936, which the KMT refused to participate in due to a) not wanting to piss off the Soviets and b) not willing to sit at a negotiating table with Japan while they were occupying Chinese territory. Even so, there were still some Germans with significant business and social ties to China, such as John Rabe.

Debating whether or not Trump actually intended to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power by inciting his lunatic followers into storming the Capitol is soooooo January 7 2021, let’s focus on the latest potential hoax: whether a zoo in China has been putting people in sun bear costumes

https://twitter.com/ap/status/1686844554593566731?s=46

Personally I think something looks really weird about that standing bear and I wish the DC zoo had sun bears because I’d go there and do a photographic investigation of my own. If they are people in bear costumes, then WHERE are the bears? Knocking over trash cans on OUR American streets? I dunno but I think we need another couple of hundred billion in the defense budget until we figure it out.

Sun bears are weird and small though so it's probably a bear

Yup. Also when assisting an elderly relative with a computer virus scare, I suspect their website sells ad space to scammers. Thankfully my previous instructions of “if computer is acting weird put it down & let me know” were followed in that case.

They show up in my local news feed, always another example of some stupid bar shutting down and the "rising taxes and homeless problem" thrown in at the end, used to tack "COVID restrictions" on there too before those were lifted.

I am going to give the most charitable read to this: Having an in-state person dispose of property with a financial power of attorney is much easier than someone spending most of their time out-of-state (and mentally living in the 1970s). Now if her daughter has general power of attorney, as we all know from the classic AFN commercials, that's a whole different ball of wax

It's reasonable, but so would removing her from Congress. If she can't make her own decisions, she shouldn't be making decisions for the country. If she is too old to be trusted with her own money, she shouldn't get to decide how we spend.

They will cart her rear end in on life support with a Servitor Skull if we allow it.

Agreed it’s an absurd situation, but given the razor thin Senate majority and rules governing the judiciary committee isn’t this preferable to if she resigned and was replaced with a junior senator? I thought (and I may be wrong) that if she left the Dems wouldn’t have the votes to replace her on the committee & the GOP would happily refuse to advance any Biden judge nominees, which are critical for slightly offsetting the harm done by trump? Especially as if a GOP prez gets in they’d speedrun packing those seats immediately.

Lol, right before the school year starts, anyone teaching or signed up for AP Psychology in Florida just got an unexpected change of plans.

quote:

We are sad to have learned that today the Florida Department of Education has effectively banned AP Psychology in the state by instructing Florida superintendents that teaching foundational content on sexual orientation and gender identity is illegal under state law. The state has said districts are free to teach AP Psychology only if it excludes any mention of these essential topics.

The AP course asks students to “describe how sex and gender influence socialization and other aspects of development.” This element of the framework is not new: gender and sexual orientation have been part of AP Psychology since the course launched 30 years ago.

As we shared in June, we cannot modify AP Psychology in response to regulations that would censor college-level standards for credit, placement, and career readiness. Our policy remains unchanged. Any course that censors required course content cannot be labeled “AP” or “Advanced Placement,” and the “AP Psychology” designation cannot be utilized on student transcripts.

To be clear, any AP Psychology course taught in Florida will violate either Florida law or college requirements. Therefore, we advise Florida districts not to offer AP Psychology until Florida reverses their decision and allows parents and students to choose to take the full course.
