In Florida, at 345-feet, Britton Hill is the highest elevation — the lowest highest elevation in United States. This makes Florida supremely susceptible to sea-level rise during Climate Change.
An objective truth even if you don’t believe in Climate Change. Just Sayin'.
Going viral on far right twitter: Supposedly a man breaks into a home, assaults the mom and a 17 year old kid. The kid grabs a kitchen knife and stabs him once. He dies. A judge then sentences the kid to 3.5 years in prison.
I've looked into it. Here's what actually happened:🧵
I don’t cheer loss of life, even for the bad guys. Every life wasted is a tragedy.
But just from a basic logic standpoint I don’t get this. “How dare you rescue hostages in an unsportsmanlike manner” doesn’t resonate with me.

A lot of people are upset with Biden for declaring Easter to be Trans Day of Visibility, but to be fair, the date of was selected only because the LGBCalendar was already rather full.
The Trans Day of Visibility is March 31. Do not confuse this with the Trans Day of
Damn dude this is madness. I thought Matt was joking, but no -- the Department of Justice actually concluded that Biden was too old and feebleminded to commit a crime.
Full report from Special Counsel Robert Hur, on President Biden's mishandling of classified materials. Conclusion was no chargeable offense, but there are a number of aspects likely to create political problems for Biden:
The soft, whiny, entitled display we see on college campuses is the direct result of these kids seeing this behavior from 20 years of LeBron James playing basketball. He is directly responsible for all of it. He has ruined a generation.
Saddest part of Forrest Gump is when he realizes he has a child, and he asks Jenny whether he is smart. Gump is shown as simple for the entire movie, but here you realize that he KNOWS how slow he is, and it’s an amazing contrast to Twitter where most of you remain clueless.
Yeah 23 and me is bullshit. I’m indigenous to Colorado but my results didn’t show ANY Coloradoan just a bunch of European bullshit countries I had never been to.
So in sum, while Christians might be bent out of shape about Biden taking over Easter, you see that his hands were tied.
To be frank, Christians were being a bit greedy demanding two days - Easter and Christmas - to celebrate their guy. You’re not really leaving enough days on
Just realized that Fetterman’s camera thirsty devil wife disappeared from public view at the exact same moment Fetterman became a Republican for literally no reason.
Texas and Florida busing immigrants to blue cities started out as a little joke and has turned into the most successful and transformative conversation-shifting political move in the last 20 years.
A year ago Cam Harless tweeted a joke ("Every girl is bi. You just have to figure out if it’s polar or sexual."), Dave Weigel retweeted it, and Felicia Sonmez called him out. Weigel was suspended for a month, but she kept demanding more until she was fired. That was a weird one.

How so? That article says that the deceased got drunk at a bar, got into his car, hit a pole, blamed the damage on the teen for some reason, broke into the teen's house, and got himself stabbed. That's what all the articles say.
This is going to be the best election ever. Trump will be leading in the polls because of immigration chaos and then he will try to make the election a referendum about Stop The Steal and start losing and then Biden will mumble incoherently and fall down some stairs and the
We must also take care to honor Transgender Parent Day (Nov 6) Trans Awareness Week (Nov 13-19) and International Pronoun Day (Oct 20).
Trans is distinct from drag. International Drag Day is July 16.
I haven’t played with Google’s AI yet but from what I gather, here is how it works - you ask it to do something, and then it refuses to do it and calls you a racist.
I think Google invented college kids.
Hahahaha Krugman is great because you can tell whether deficit spending is a problem based solely on who is in the White House.
In 2003, Krugman was PANICKING about budget deficits and worrying that the federal government would go bankrupt.
In 2012, people who worried about
I live in the rich neighborhood, so trick or treating always draws a lot of kids from the poor neighborhood down the street. I give these children less.
I'm having problems articulating why it's so funny that Elon said he was going to fire everyone at Twitter and in response the employees signed a letter demanding that they not be fired.
But not everyone even HAS a gender to trans. Agender Pride Day is May 19. Intersex Awareness Day is Oct 26.
You can come out as any of these on National Coming Out Day, which is October 11.
Everyone is joking about Taylor Swift and the NFL, but this morning, I sat down to watch the Chiefs play in Germany. My 14 year old daughter -- who is usually hiding in her room -- came up to me and asked if she could watch with me.
She had heard that Taylor was dating one of
Omnisexual Visibility Day is July 6 so mark your calendar for that. Bisexual Awareness Week ends on September 22 but jumps right into Bisexual Visibility Day which is September 23.
I can't remember such a shift. We had four years of Dems crying at the border and then DeSantis flew a single plane of migrants to Martha's Vineyard and now Biden is building the fucking wall and the most liberal politicians in America are shrieking about seeing brown people.
July 14 is International Non-Binary Day right in the middle of Non-Binary Awareness Week (July 11-17).
My personal favorite is Gay Uncle Day, August 14.
Okay this is important: Mehdi hyping an "analysis" performed by Al Haq, which is an organization run by a member of the militant PFLP group. The PFLP's Abu Ali Mustapha Brigades carried out the Hamas attacks on Israel last week.

A lot of people freaking out about this but I’ve looked into it and I think there’s a bit of nuance here that people are missing in their rush to be outraged. Here’s what actually going on:
A Sitting-Member of Congress, Rashida Tlaib was a Speaker yesterday at the “People’s Conference for Palestine” which was Funded and Supported by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a Communist-Terrorist Group which is Headquartered in the Syrian Capital of

Just a quick recap for those of you with jobs, Scott Ritter, a former UN weapons inspector who caused the war in Iraq and then went on to be imprisoned as a pedophile because he likes young young girls is mad at Miller because Miller stubbornly refuses to set himself on fire to
Fetterman was exactly the same pre and post stroke. The actual date of his political transformation was when his horrible devil wife fled the country.
This may in fact be what he means when he says “progressivism left me.”
This is an AMAZING thread about plagiarism among top professors in elite universities and you have to read the whole thing because you ABSOLUTELY CANNOT PREDICT HOW IT ENDS
One of the most powerful English professors of the past 40 years stole an argument I made in a seminar presentation, turning it into the core of his next book.
The week after my presentation, he came into the classroom and...

Speaking of April, we can’t forget the ladies! International Lesbian Visibility Day is April 26. Harvey Milk Day is May 22, and Stonewall Riots Day is June 28.
A lot of people confuse Pride
Month (June) with LGBT History Month (October). We must observe both though, as well as Bisexual Health Awareness Month (March), and Trans Awareness Month (November).
Pansexuality is widely misunderstood so it gets a few days - Pansexuality and Panromantic Visibility Day is May 24, but don’t forget Pansexual Pride Day, which is December 8.
Spirit Day is October 21 but I can’t remember what that’s for.
May 17 is the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia. You should also not be hateful on March 1, which is Zero Discrimination Day.
Discrimination is DEFINITELY not OK on the International Day of Silence, which is April 22.
I went out with some friends in Miami tonight, and while we were walking through the streets, I said it. I said the word. I said gay.
Two cops were standing near a Cinnabon and heard me. The one closest to me unholstered his AR-15 pistol and started to raise it towards me. But
Legal reporting is bad because journos don’t know about the law and reporting about gun cases is especially bad because journos don’t know about guns either. But nothing will beat the time USA Today credulously told its readers that dudes were walking around with this bad boy

“Alright. Hey, can I use my phone a sec?”
