@brhodes "Blockade"?
There is not now and there has not been, since the end of the missile crisis 60+ years ago, a blockade of Cuba.
Have you no shame?
English
Rubio now full Orwellian: the total blockade that we have put on your country after decades of an embargo has nothing to do with the scarcity in your lives or the fact that we are intentionally starving your children.
Vera Bergengruen@VeraMBergen
Secretary of State Marco Rubio releases a 5-minute video speaking directly in Spanish to the Cuban people. “The reason you are forced to survive 22 hours a day without electricity is not because of an oil blockade by the United States...[but] because those who control your country have looted billions of dollars."

@kylehmb1 @jdupkowski Murray Rothbard had your number, way back in the 60s.

Kyle here thinks that necessary and not necessary are the same, that desire and lack of desire are the same, and that we're morally bound to agree with him because of some D&D rules.
Kyle@kylehmb1
@BadTheoloTakes Everything you’ve said is utter nonsense and doesn’t address what I already said re Suarez. The council did not eliminate the possibility of desire or blood etc. this is utterly ridiculous. Also it’s a dogmatic definition confirmed by a pope so it’s defacto binding.

Check out our latest paper from our graduate student Megan Rooney! When ion heating can be a good thing: "Improving Peak Capacity in Glycan Ion Mobility Separations through Traveling Wave-Based Ion Heating"

Ion mobility is moving from “helpful” to necessary. What looks like a single LC feature can contain multiple mobility-resolved species, leading to chimeric spectra. HRIM enables cleaner precursor isolation and clearer MS/MS spectra.

@JypsRidic @TheAndersPaul @JudiciaryDems If you know anything about Illinois Democrats, you'd know that's an accurate description. Between the unfunded pension liabilities, the transfer payments, the deliberately disastrous flip-flop on school choice, and the corruption, they've made a wreck of their state.

@TheAndersPaul @JudiciaryDems that wouldn't be a random tornado, that'd be like the 3rd worst tornado in recorded history

This is what the Supreme Court conservative supermajority just enabled.
English
@JudiciaryDems Heaven forbid you actually run candidates who appeal to the median voter. Representative government, or something.

@queenie4rmnola Where are the white people in Metairie complaining about "black supremacy", who may have more of a gripe since a district was gerrymandered specifically to negate their votes?
English
Black people in New Orleans and Baton Rouge will no longer have the representation we’ve had in Congress. This is white supremacy

@reformedroom Historically: to (over)emphasize a point about Jesus being fully present under either species, accidentally for ~400 years.
Modern: Hygiene. The older generation for whatever reason thinks cold sores (HSV) is no big deal. Add the flu, norovirus, and rsv to the mix, too.

What's especially cool is that the flagellar motor exploits the indivisibility of 5 by 2 to run on a fuel of rising entropy as protons diffuse into cells. For me as a physics and math person, this is biology at its best. quantamagazine.org/what-physical-…

@BadTheoloTakes The people in Dolton will be upset that you lumped them in with South Holland, but there are only 17 of them , so nobody cares.
English
Another closet Klansman telling irrelevant tales of "jurisdiction" because Bob from South Holland is persuasive.
Daniel Strand@DDFStrand
Many Catholics are choosing to obey the Pope over the President on matters of politics. This is what Protestants rejected, categorically, in the Reformation. Popes have no jurisdiction in the USA.

People are lying on this hellsite about helium. The US produces more helium than the entire Gulf combined, and this guy, if he actually were in the US, would be fine (albeit with higher prices). But he's not. He has the badge of suss.
HealthRanger@HealthRanger
The helium collapse accelerates. All mass spec labs are about to go dark. Medical imaging, too, for those instruments that use helium. My lab has a 1-year supply of helium in place, because I saw this coming and ordered my analysts to stock up in early March. Apparently we got the last available "extra" helium in the supply chain. Now it's scarcity and, soon, panic.

@TheModerateCase (there's no see of Baraboo, Wisconsin--chose a pure hypothetical on purpose.)
English
@TheModerateCase Can one be a Catholic and not like the Bishop of Baraboo Wisconsin or disagree with his opinions?
The Pope is the Bishop of Rome. The question is answered the same way. Primacy is a relationship to his brother bishops, not to the man in the pews.
English
Question for Catholics:
Can one be a Catholic and not like the Pope and disagree with his statements and views on religion and or politics? If so, why? If not, why?
I have seen tons of Catholics taking both sides on this.
I am genuinely curious.

@E44Teddy And that's a Court on which sat, at one time or another, Roger Taney, Abe Fortas, Charles Whittaker, and Samuel Chase.

8-1 because Justice Jackson is the dumbest person to ever sit on the high court 😅
SCOTUS Wire@scotus_wire
🚨 In an 8-1 vote, the Supreme Court holds that Colorado’s ban on “conversion therapy,” as applied to petitioner's talk therapy, violates the First Amendment because it constitutes viewpoint discrimination

The Soviet Union and Germany share responsibility for WWII. The Soviets won and the (western) Allies, minus Poland, merely got to set favorable terms as losers.
English
@MrsCMFrancis Not typically. Usually there's an active refusal to pray in common, which is even more a separation than knowing (because we hear the echoes) that their pastors are slandering us for kicks and clicks.
English
As an Evangelical, I absolutely think that I have many brothers and sister in the Catholic Church.
I am asking this sincerely: do Catholics feel the same?
(P.s. any bashing on either side in the comments is getting an instant block)

Someone is defacing Canadian coins with their 51st state bullshit.
If you get one of these in the wild, take it to the bank to be exchanged so they can destroy it.
Also defacing canada currency is illegal.

@ThymeToBeBorn On the other side of the country, I used to bring a peculiarly rowdy kid, who also got screamy due to the coronavirus shutdowns, to the Mass run by the group that kept Gregorian chant and polyphony alive during the worst period of the late 20th C.
Find a new home!
English
@ThymeToBeBorn And given the number of baptisms per year it's on pace to have kids outnumber adults.
I'm not slumming it, either--it's the most "high church", artistic liturgy and with the most red-meat preaching in all of West Michigan.
English
Even the friendliest church isn't doable with lots of little kids. Everyone still expects the littles to act like adults before and after service, talking quietly, etc, no rowdiness, 90 minutes of silence for service. Give me a break this is just not an environment for kids.
