Sinclair was demanding one, so the fact that Kimmel did not apologize is significant.

They corrected it in article on the site. The man is an Oregon resident, but was fighting the fire in Washington.

I definitely understood their comment as "Israel claims everyone in Gaza as Hamas, so they're more likely to die from a random airstrike than they are at sea"

I think the point is he doesn't want to endorse someone before a primary happens. Presumably he will endorse whoever is the winner of the primary.

I'd respond that the parable of the Good Samaritan is specifically showing a "foreigner" (eh, nuance is hard) as the only person who helped the injured man, but that requires critical thinking and some historical context, so basically useless...

Skibidi is literally listed as a nonsense word, so it essentially has no meaning!

A Wild Mimic's info is what you asked for, but for what it's worth, you can just look at the election that happened earlier this year to see if it passes the smell test (and it does):

The AFD won 20% of the vote in the election earlier this year and then the incoming chancello passed a policy with the old parliament (as leader of the opposition still) that would change a financial rule that would have no chance to pass once the new parliament was seated (because the AFD and most of his own party opposed the change), so a lot of the people who voted CDU/CSU (his party) felt betrayed and said "fuck it, I'll vote AFD next time"

I don't think working until 70 is that unreasonable (as long as it's by choice). The age you start receiving full Social Security benefits is 67 now, and putting a few extra years of work in, if you are able, enjoy it, and it gives you purpose, is a valid choice.

That being said, for high-level decision-makers like Congresspeople, they should be forced to retire right when that SSA kicks in. The IRS administrator is right on the line of "should be able to keep going" and "should be forced to retire".

The "state's rights" states have ALWAYS been "our state's rights and not yours": "our rights to own slaves" and "our rights to come into your state and find drag our runaway slaves back to our state". This is literally the Fugitive Slave Act, but the "Fugitive Legislator Act": we're going to send our people into your state to arrest them and drag them back.

I specifically have two automations that I run as I'm getting in bed (manually, either through a widget on my phone or via voice command): one for if I'm the last person in bed and one of my wife is still up and hasn't come to bed yet so it doesn't turn out all the lights on her.

 

Striking machinists at Boeing will vote Wednesday on a new contract proposal that includes a 35% pay hike over four years that could end a costly five-week-old strike, the company and union said Saturday.
