Could be because their call sign is War Party and their motto is War Party Rocks.

For the bottom 40% of families, California taxes are LOWER than states like Florida and Texas.

In fact, 16 other states tax LOW-WAGE earners MORE than California taxes our HIGH-WAGE earners.

The evidence is clear, and the numbers don't lie.

“Friends, a spiritual life does not demand that we pretend the world is any better than it is; only that we do not miss how the world is often much better than we feel.”

What every American I know stranded abroad due to the Iran war tells me:

“when you call the State Department numbers all over social media, you’re met with just an automated message saying not to rely on US government for assistance with departure and that no evacuations are currently planned.”

Can any reporter ask any Republican member of the Senate or House on camera what constitutes an impeachable offense under their understanding of the Constitution? Genuinely want to understand what crime, apparently yet to be committed, is the line.

Guardian headline: ‘Kuwait mistakenly shoots down three US fighter planes, as US says Iran’s “reckless” attacks threaten regional stability’

Guardian headline: ‘Kuwait mistakenly shoots down three US fighter planes, as US says Iran’s “reckless” attacks threaten regional stability’

Is it a competition to see how much irony can fit in one headline?

The distinctions we draw in library science between data, information, knowledge, and understanding are real. Like, life vs. death real.

Since all the parts of the Penitential Order except the opening sentences and the Confession are technically optional, using it but deleting the Decalogue and scriptural verses would essentially be “moving the confession to the front of the service.” It then just ends up replacing the C f Purity.

The Penitential Order (p351 in Rite II, and 319? in RI), is an optional way to begin the service at any time and is often used in Lent. Is that what they did in Rite I?

Trump’s Reckless Decision to Pursue Regime Change in Iran And the risks Democrats face if they fail to strongly oppose his war.

"There are multiple arguments that Democrats need to be making, including the fact that he’s acting illegally, and the fact that he’s acting strategically stupidly. So make all of those arguments. Don’t just ask for a briefing," says @mattduss.bsky.social. www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a...

It’s a common hint in CPR training —at least if the trainers and trainees are of an age to know the song !

Can’t use this version to set tempo for CPR compressions, though.

Years ago our admin did a red and black report. It took salaries & how much $ each instructor made in tuition $ for classes we taught-you were in the red or black. They released numbers once & shut it down bc humanities were producing huge $ for uni & engineers, business and scientists were losing $

Take away, both flu and Covid damage lungs by chronic inflammation. Only Covid causes same damage to the brain as well.
Don’t get covid.
Wear an N95 respirator in indoor public spaces.
Get vaccinated.
Clean the air we all breathe.

I’ve said this before but the people like surgeons and pilots and pharmacists getting continual damage like this is… additionally concerning
