  • YSK about the French Republican Calendar

    Jump

  • Disenfranchised ruling class commits to counter-revolution. Repeat.

    But for that specifically, it is conveniently called the Thermidorian Reaction, using this calendar's terminology.

  • Native American nearly deported after Polk County jail issues ICE detainer by mistake

    Jump

  • She was booked into the Polk County Jail in Des Moines, Iowa, where she currently lives, in September for allegedly driving with a suspended license

    September through November this person was held in jail before ICE showed up.

  • So you know how there's the story of the underage girl prostituting herself to a congressperson for money for braces?

    Exploitation. That's how people are intended, nay, expected, to 'swing it.'

  • It kinda looks like Hot Fuzz? It's been a while to remember.

  • 'Absolutely Pathetic': Senate Democrats Denounced for Caving to GOP in Shutdown Fight | Common Dreams

    Jump

  • the question of why?

    It protects their investments for them and their families. Political tidal shifts on corporate ownership of critical infrastructure like housing is unacceptable for their economy. And their electability?

    they're all people who have announced that they will retire after this term.

    They are expressly the ones that can afford this action: explicitly burning goodwill to secure wealth. They're spending currency that has no value to them.

    It doesn't even have to be backdoor dealings. It is all very front door.

    Jump

  • I am willing to bet this was on some level retaliatory for Mamdani's election. All these senators represent a faction that's currently sundowning. For them, this kind of action is a message.

  • Democrat who caved on shutdown says Chuck Schumer knew all along

    Jump

  • Schumer has zero control over his party when even the party whip pledges to defect. But he apparently refused to vote for the Democratic candidate for NYC mayor, so this is entirely expected and precedented.

  • Marjorie Taylor Greene calls out Trump’s blatant lie on inflation

    Jump

  • She is just running circles around media establishments. Speaker Greene is going to be wild. Or at least that's what she's after. Every House GOPer is going to need a pivot and she will be that for them.

  • Mike Johnson: 'My Christian Faith Is More About Not Jacking Off Than Feeding The Poor"

    Jump

  • I get it. I had meant 'modern' more than anything and 'english' was the convenient assumption.

    I was trying note along the idea of how we only know Spartan history from Athenian accounts of Sparta, not Spartans. If all we had was specifically a christian interpretation of the texts then yeah, conclusions can be as varied as the reader. If we interpret the bible through contemporary historical observations the importance of the lessons and stories of the bible are provided context.

    The christian traditions around the bible and the historical context through which the bible was written and interpreted are very different.

    But that isn't to undermine or remove the fact that there is a long tradition of interpreting these passages as to include masturbation. (If not the concept of sodomy at large.) But to me that's likewise as understandably contexualized.

  • Mike Johnson: 'My Christian Faith Is More About Not Jacking Off Than Feeding The Poor"

    Jump

  • Because a straight reading of the part imo does make it about wasting seed insted of procreating and the interpretations I can find go with that interpretation.

    History? Mesopotamian history? It wouldn't be an individual's personal reaction to one of the english translations of the text.

    There's a great deal of information, especially from greek and persian sources that describe the rules and laws of the region during biblical times. Like the septanguit was a major greek translation that entered judean laws and customs to greek analysis.

    And then we have early roman history that conquered the region and documented the rules of local religions/cults.

    Again, it isn't derived from a vibe check of plain text like when SCOTUS overturns human rights.

    Jump

  • Thanks, though it is a username I have used variously for probably 20+ years.

  • Zohran Mamdani wins NYC mayor's race, capping a stunning ascent

    Jump

  • One of the more interesting polls out of this was whether voters were casting in support of or against a candidate.

    86% of Mamdani voters were voting out of support of their candidate.

    Half of Cuomo voters were voting against another candidate. (Mamdani.)

    Voting against a candidate is a losing strategy.

  • It's based on users sending in reports, and positive news for the left or news critical of Israel unleashes an army of rules lawyers.

  • Meanwhile pundits on CNN is calling this a 'warning lesson'. Anderson Cooper and crowd fear mongering even through victory.

  • The torture video shaking Israel to its core

    Jump

  • My understanding the media focus is about how bad it is that this was leaked and that the leakers are bad because it hurts the state of Israel.

    Which is exactly what I would expect.
