Noem faced Republican criticism
Republicans largely kept the focus on the large numbers of migrants who came into the country under former President Joe Biden,
portraying Noem as the leader of a cleanup effort of the former administration’s mess.
But she did come under some harsh questioning by members of her own party.
Senator Tillis, who called on Noem to resign following the shootings in Minneapolis, criticized her for erroneously arresting American citizens, for…

Our #silentsunday was spent on a mountain trail half an hour from our home. About 400-500m elevation along such a trail. And we didn't meet anybody.
Maybe because the location is too unspectacular: no great summit views, no summit at all, nothing to buy drinks or food - just a trail through patches of sun and shade with quite a few flowers along the trail.
Later, we cycled t…

Well. I’ve been accepted to my first conference!
This will sound strange to many academics out there, but working in the fine arts I don’t generally pay much attention to academic conferences—but having had a research semester last fall I was able to do a deep dive into the educational philosophy of practice-based filmmaking education and apparently the conference organisers agree that it’s interesting! I got an email this morning that my abstract was accepted.
Now I just need in…

Manche Aussagen sind positiv oder negativ zu bewerten abhängig davon welche Person oder welches Geschlecht diese spricht. Zum Beispiel „Ich mag den Joker Film” heißt etwas komplett anderes abhängig davon ob eine Person damit meint, dass sie die Kritik des Films versteht oder sich von der kritisierten Person bestätigt fühlt.

Curious story: a combination of the Streisand Effect, and a conviction that he knows the law better than the judge and coroner that is worthy of Enoch Burke. #mastodaoine

Outgoing Republican senator
Thom Tillis has vowed to block any nominee to permanently replace Pam Bondi as attorney general
if the candidate excuses the January 6 attack on the US Capitol
– a threat that could deprive the White House of a crucial vote.
“The threshold for somebody following Pam Bondi ends the moment I hear they said one thing that excused the events of January 6,”
Tillis said in an interview with CNN.
The North Carolina lawmaker, who is ret…

I don’t think Trump is unsophisticated in the way he wields language
— far from it.
He can load up the graphic detail through vivid, dynamic verbs when he wants to,
-- such as in one of the stories of bravery he told in his State of the Union address, perhaps with the help of his speechwriters:
“He absorbed four agonizing shots, shredding his leg into numerous pieces. … And even as he was gushing blood, which was flowing back down the aisle — helicopter lands at a s…
