  • I’m utterly befuddled by this woman; somehow she hates the idea of trans women so much that she’s now closely allied with Posie Parker, a woman who hates women, hates suffrage, has advocated for the removal of women’s rights for years, and shares closely held opinions from just right of Goebbels.

    Somehow Jo has become so utterly single-minded, she’s paired with the antithesis of all the other things she believes in (and still claims to believe as justification of her anti-trans nonsense).

    I haven’t done a play challenge since the pandemic hit, but the last couple years I did were 25x4 challenges. Same 100 plays, but far more impetus to play new things and to swap and borrow from friends. The one year I did a 10x10 I felt a disconcerting pressure to fill my card, and that led to me not being a very pleasant participant in game nights.


  • Accruing back taxes can happen for a lot of reasons, one of which would be deliberate under reporting, which if a form of fraud. Hence why the IRS has the latitude to recommend charges if they feel the actions were significant and deliberate.

    It’s important to remember that Trump’s current case he’s arguing he didn’t have the Mens Rea for deliberate fraud, so it’s weird to see GOP members discounting that argument as invalid with Biden.


  • It isn’t. The point is that accruing back taxes requires payment and may, at the discretion of the IRS, mandate a criminal charge. He wasn’t charge at the time because he paid, but he could have been. So now they want him to have been.

    However I think neither party really wants things to go this way, and Republicans are going to see lots of retaliatory investigation and charges brought over missed payments etc. should they pursue this.

    A waste of time and money, doesn’t improve anything in the world, just creates more division. Basically the GOP motto.





  • Not quite. The Beeb aren’t in the business of studies (outside special reports). If I am thinking about the same article as you, Anglia Ruskin interviewed thousands of workers and found that while most people got over the sense of surveillance, a much higher percentage of women than men didn’t. This was because, seemingly, women were in fact more surveilled by their male colleagues.

    So open plans aren’t “sexist” in the sands they were designed in oppression of women; they are sexist in the sense that their design and rationale failed to predict or account for the disproportionate negative impact on women.
