Texas comes crawling back to its big bad federal daddy. How disappointing. If Abbott had any balls, he’d let the whole state cough its guts out and die.
A jury found claims against Epstein/Maxwell persuasive. Maxwell will spend a lot of time in jail. Let’s see if things heat up for Alan Dershowitz.
Pew found that about 44% of nonparents ages 18 to 49 deem it “not too likely” or “not at all likely” they’ll have kids, compared to 37% who said the same in 2018.
Wowsa.
“They confused the metaphysical with science.” Oh whoops.
It instantly made me think of the 2016 terrorist attack in Nice.
One onlooker summed it up.
“Right now, I’m just angry. It seems everywhere we turn, it’s just another violent day in the U.S.”
*************

Just makes you puke.
UD thanks Chas for telling her that this headline is fake, or, more precisely, based on false information. UD fell for it.

OVERDOSES FROM ANTI-PARASITE DRUG IVERMECTIN

Let us hope this is not the most prominent thing the media notes about Helmut Jahn, who has died in a very bad bicycle crash. He apparently ran a stop sign and was hit by two cars.
UD vividly remembers walking for the first time into the vast Eschery atrium of Jahn’s James R. Thompson building in downtown Chicago. It must have just opened. It was my first encounter with the breathtaking empty space of monumental late modernism.
Because Communists help Communists. Because Venezuela has long had a special relationship with North Korea. Because Democrats know that our coastal defenses are weakest in the state of Maine, where the deep state replaced patriot Paul LePage with Democrat and Woman Janet Mills.

University Diaries. Hosted by Margaret Soltan, professor of English at George Washington University. Boy is she pissed — mostly about athletics and funding, the usual scandals — but also about distance learning and diploma mills. She likes poems too. And she sings.
