Also sharks are older than trees and Cleopatra lived closer to the moon landing than to the construction of the Great Pyramids.
The most linguistically diverse region in the world is Papua New Guinea, which has 800 languages.

There's no such thing as giraffes. What we think of as a giraffe is actually four different species that look very alike.

Let’s talk about why I don’t trust Catholic priests, besides the glaringly obvious.
They chose a life with basically no responsibilities. No family, rent, mortgage, fear of getting fired, no anything. And I get that, life is scary, some people just have to run.
So, why not join a monastery? Hole up and pray all day. “But they want to help their community!” There are a million ways to do that. They chose the priesthood specifically so they could have profound psychological control over their community.

I'd like to put forth a sociological theory that I've spent very little time considering, and if any sociologists would like to point out what are almost certainly critical flaws, please do.
Max Weber's Protestant Work Ethic is predicated on the simple idea that everyone wants to know they're good people. For Catholics that's easy, you tell a priest what you've done and they'll tell you if you're good or not. But Protestants faced a new dilemma.
Protestants had to figure out if they're good people by themselves. They decided you can tell if a person is good based on how you contribute to society, i.e., how hard you worked. Thus was born the Protestant Work Ethic.

She's facing a recall vote because of several ethical/legal violations, mostly involving using city resources for her own political purposes and allowing outside organizations (namely Socialist Alternative) to run her office.
But tell us more about the (((business cabal))).
It's kind of ironic because it seems like her office is just a cutout for an actual secret cabal.

The Charlottesville Board of Tourism should take another pass at this one.
No but what in the living fuck did I just read.
My bad, the important context here is that it was part of a larger, much crazier diatribe.

I'm uh, not sure this is the criticism to go with.
FDR's first two executive orders were on March 8th, 1933. The first was appointing his bodyguard. The second was assigning a new building for the Navy. Biden has already reversed much of Trump's legacy and it's only February 23rd.
Most of his first executive orders were assigning people to various roles in the government that the president no longer needs an executive order to do. The whole executive branch was structured differently back that.

I mean, I guess we can come up with some kind of creepy Orwellian euphemism, but for now it’s an apt description for the place unaccompanied minors stay for a month before being placed with their sponsors.
The problem of unaccompanied minors doesn’t have a pretty solution. When a 13-year-old gets off a train with no parents and no idea what he’s supposed to do next, we have two options: a government facility or homelessness. If anyone knows of a third, please speak up now.
Literally no one read this article. It says they were specifically made to keep children out of detention facilities and isn't being run by DHS..
