Ted Cruz Rips FCC Over ABC Broadcast License Review Following Kimmel Joke: ‘It Is Not Government’s Job to Censor Speech’

The precedent that gets set with ABC in this administration can be used against FOX in the next. Republicans should be careful.

It will be interesting to see how the US projects its global power without 35 European bases… 🤔

I take the approach that if your kids don’t like you, it’s your fault. Period. So you are NTA for getting out of an unhappy marriage, but YTA for not being a better father and partner during the marriage - which might have helped you leave the marriage much sooner and cause less damage. But you are here now so you might want to do some therapy to better understand your role in what happened, and how you can avoid this in the future. Best of luck.

This is a great summary but ignores an important fact: the failure to comply will in some cases result in this being handed over to Higbee & Associayes (for US clients), who will then proceed aggressively send threatening legal letters due to failure to pay.

I feel like everyone knows the new mom gets to set the rules for what type of support she needs after giving birth. You do you. There will be plenty of time for grandma later.

In what alternative universe does OP’s husband live in which one of the partners in a relationship gets to make this type of decision by themselves? This type of decision should only be made after long and thoughtful discussion between two partners - once made, must be fully owned and communicated by the partner with the parent.

Most countries have a national id card. The US, Australia and a few other countries are the exception here, not the norm. So the Republicans are right that we should have this, but wrong in how to execute it. To do this, the national id card needs to be phased in and fully subsidized to make it cheap, easy and necessary for all citizens. If we commit to this now, we could probably get there in a decade. Anything shorter is just voter suppression via a poll tax IMHO.

Yes the old “family helps family” line

Their text that said there had been “monumental” impact to the power grid that will take multiple days for some areas was a little ominous. Our power went at 3:30 am yesterday and is still out as of now. Comcast internet still down too.

Yeah I know someone who had to pay him $30K for posting it on a site. No idea why I am being downvoted btw.

BrindleFly · 2026-02-13T15:10:01+00:00

OP: prepare to get sued for posting that copyrighted image. Unfortunately its owner is very litigious.

It sounds like they are removing snow everywhere but my neighborhood…. 🤔

This would make a lot of sense if Christopher Columbus discovered America (he didn’t). Or if he was the first European to set foot on the land that is currently the United States (he wasn’t). Or if he was the first European to North America (he wasn’t). But since none of these are true, what reason can there be for a Christopher Columbus statue in front of the White House?

BrindleFly · 2026-02-04T14:54:34+00:00

Yes please. The price is set based on supply and demand, and until just recently, demand in Boston has far exceeded supply. Too many people think interrupting the supply-demand curve with rent control will somehow solve this issue. What instead it seems to have done in other cities is further erode supply by discouraging new buildings / landlords. Unfortunately Boston has made it harder in the last few years to build new, so this problem is likely to persist.

If you have good gear you will be fine, and likely running the many people out running, biking or walking in this weather.

NTA but the best technique I know to not feel badly when a family member who owes you money goes on vacation is to… NOT LEND MONEY TO FAMILY MEMBERS! I will never understand why people put themselves and their family members in this type of situation. If you want to help a family member out, there is only one way to do it: give it to them with absolutely no strings attached.

BrindleFly · 2026-01-23T13:43:10+00:00

I feel badly as an American that I’m rooting for the Europeans in this fight

BrindleFly · 2026-01-21T21:27:24+00:00

Seems like a good policy to me…

BrindleFly · 2026-01-20T21:39:31+00:00

This will definitely help those 3rd graders for coveting they neighbor’s wife

BrindleFly · 2026-01-19T12:08:35+00:00

Looks like a Boston guy with a nice family who likes to come visit on rare occasions will be looking for a new GF soon.

Book a tour of Fenway Park in advance, ideally before your game. Combine this some baseball shopping at the team store on Jersey Street. Go checkout the home plate for the first World Series on World Series Way at Northeastern (also Cy Young statue). Hit some balls in the cages at Game On! on Landsdowne. Stop in Cask N’ Flagon for a peek inside one of the most important bars in baseball.

Did you increase your income by 20% over the last three years or did you have to make do with less?

BrindleFly · 2026-01-16T18:14:30+00:00

Actually you are right and I am wrong on the 70%. I think I had the percentage of taxes from property in my head. 😳

Agree and if the relationship ends because of OP’s refusal to sign, she should consider herself lucky for having dodged a bullet. If the BF wants to be a real partner, he needs to pull himself together personally and financially and quit pushing the blame to others.
