He's more of a, "I'd hate to see something happen to your kid" kind of mob boss. He has never been the type to reward loyalty, but he says he will. The only people he actually rewards are the ones who have something on him to blackmail with.

No, I really didn't lol. It's the first real one that came up on nitter and I never go there usually, so I wouldn't know. Not surprised that's who would come up first on X though. I appreciate you calling it out and informing me.

I've got the video thing too, I never really thought about it. Thanks for mentioning that. I can feel and touch, but I can't smell. I don't have a good smell memory unless it just happened.

Do you guys get free or close to free healthcare too? That rating and palm oil label is interesting. In the US, they seriously don't tell you if your chicken is chlorinated, even the organic.

If my partner or I visualizes something, the other can see it in their head. We freak out our friends a ton with this. It's hilarious.

I don't even know what this means, so I don't think so.

I wonder if you have that thing that crosses sounds and imagery? I forget what it's called. That would make sense that it a sound plays.

I find this totally fascinating. I have a friend that is a 1 and I'm a 5. I asked him to picture his childhood home and he said that he just knows that it was white, not that he can see it. We both thought the other was shitting on each other. He's a good artist too, I have no idea how. Maybe because he's true innocence? He's not planning anything out in his head.

Same. Also, I can see things from when I was an infant up until now. All of my past memories are like normal childhood memories, there is no cut off before 2 or whatever everyone else has. It's not every single memory, but the ones that stick out in your mind like every other memory from your past.

I think this is the right answer. I really don't want to believe this is true, but I think it is.

Is this for real, do they really have this? You're winning Australia, don't let this stuff go.

 

He insists he did not regret his years working for the Kushners and other landlords. There was a system in place, and he had played a part in that system. “I honestly felt that if every attorney could have had the same philosophy and treated people fair and put people in the position to take control of their life,” he said, “then debt collectors wouldn’t be such bad people. They’d be assistants to people paying off their debts.”

Still, the article instilled an unease that only grew with time. He was almost always facing off against people who lacked their own attorney, in a state with laws that were unusually favorable to landlords. “It was like a heavyweight sparring featherweights over and over again,” he said. “That’s just not satisfying.”

 

Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín’s order runs through April 16 and requires the Trump administration to resume funding for the Acacia Center for Justice and other nonprofit groups.

Martínez-Olguín determined that nonprofit groups have legal standing to sue the government to preserve funding. Plaintiffs are arguing that they’re entitled to funds through the William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008.

Martínez-Olguín’s order prevents the termination of funding for legal representation for these children, allowing the Acacia Center for Justice to continue its services while legal proceedings continue.

 

The Supreme Court on Wednesday largely upheld the Food and Drug Administration’s denials of two companies’ applications to sell flavored liquids for use in e-cigarettes. In a unanimous ruling, the justices threw out a ruling by the conservative U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit holding that the FDA had improperly pulled a “regulatory switcheroo” when it gave the companies instructions that they followed but then ignored those instructions and denied authorization while imposing new requirements. In a 46-page ruling by Justice Samuel Alito, the court sent the case back to the court of appeals so that it could take another look at one aspect of the dispute – specifically, whether it made a difference that the FDA had changed its position and failed to consider marketing plans that the companies had submitted as part of their applications.

 

Since January, the Trump administration has held up federal money across many different agencies while it says it's reviewing the spending. Along with Oregon, Democratic officials from 21 states and the District of Columbia sued, saying the trillions in federal dollars were already allocated by Congress. A federal judge on March 6 ordered that the money start flowing again.

But the states are telling the judge that, in particular with the FEMA funding, the administration is not following his order.

 

The order from U.S. Judge Dale Ho brings an end to the case against Adams, who had pleaded not guilty to conspiracy, bribery, wire fraud and other charges following his indictment last year.

Ho said he was dismissing the case with prejudice, meaning the government could not bring the charges again later — contrary to the Justice Department's request to dismiss the case without prejudice.

Adams was scheduled to go on trial in April until new leadership at the Justice Department under the Trump administration ordered prosecutors in New York in February to drop the case.

 

In a less-publicized move, Blasingame, a former bilingual educator, proposed omitting several chapters from a textbook for aspiring educators titled “Teaching.” One of those chapters focuses on how to understand and educate diverse learners and states that it “is up to schools and teachers to help every student feel comfortable, accepted and valued,” and that “when schools view diversity as a positive force, it can enhance learning and prepare students to work effectively in a diverse society.”

Blasingame did not offer additional details about her opposition to the chapters during the meeting. She didn’t have to. The school board voted 6-1 to delete them.

 

Crawford, a Dane County circuit judge who was backed by Democrats, secured a 10-year term on the court over Brad Schimel, a Waukesha County circuit judge and a former Republican attorney general. As the first major battleground state election of President Donald Trump’s second term, the technically nonpartisan contest drew national attention and became the most expensive state Supreme Court race in U.S. history.

Some also pointed out that Musk’s electric car company, Tesla, sued in Wisconsin this year challenging a state law banning carmakers from owning dealerships. The case could end up before the state Supreme Court.

 
 

Employees across the massive U.S. Department of Health and Human Services began receiving notices of dismissal on Tuesday in a major overhaul expected to ultimately lay off up to 10,000 people. The notices come just days after President Donald Trump moved to strip workers of their collective bargaining rights at HHS and other agencies throughout the government.

 

But efforts to curb so-called institutional homebuying have gained little traction this legislative session.

A pair of Democratic bills that would cap the number of homes private equity groups can own hasn’t garnered a hearing or any Republican support.

A GOP bill to study the practice, which Abbott vetoed last session during a property tax fight, has similarly gone nowhere.

 

“A year from now people will notice things are missing that used to be there and Doge and others promoting this will say: ‘See, told you government can’t do things’, rather than: ‘We broke it and it got worse,’” he said.

 

The Institute of Museum and Library Services has placed its entire staff on administrative leave.

The IMLS is a relatively small federal agency, with around 70 employees, that awards grant funding to museums and libraries across the United States.
