I had my prior life completely destroyed, and spent about 5 years getting my health together, and last August began integrating myself back into society. Starting with zero social network, in just a few months of dance classes and social dancing, I have more friends and things to do than I've ever had in my life. I do swing/Lindy Hop, which is popular in my area, and also some ballroom dancing, but a lot of people do Salsa/Bachata. I cannot overstate how awesome this has been for meeting people. As a single man, it's especially powerful, as you have an easy introduction ("would you like to dance?"), you're immediately in their intimate space, and if you're any good at all you're delivering a fun, custom choreographed experience that lights their face and makes them smile from ear to ear. At 60 years old, my social life has never been better, and I'm having fun with attractive women of all age ranges.

All of the dance classes I take include some amount of social dancing after, so that you can practice what you've learned. Everyone is very friendly and will dance with you, as they're all there to learn. For popular dances, there will be bars and nightclubs with music and dancing. With swing, I can easily go to events 5-7 nights per week, many of them free. I've found the community friendly and helpful, and we coordinate which events we're going to via a whatsapp thread.

I like the punk end of ska; or maybe it's the ska end of punk....

If you want to make it easy, just go to libgen.li, download the books without DRM and it's off to the races....

Yes, I'm a huge fan of the third wave. In my opinion, the song Sound System by Operation Ivy is the perfect blend. Is it punk? Yes! Is it ska? Also yes!

The one that isn't flying looks like he just rolled out of bed.

Yes, no conservative ever made fun of how Michelle Obama looks. /s

What should you do? Become president of France. Problem solved.

In dry bureaucratic language, the memo outlines a plan to revoke citizenship from the children of both immigrants who lack permanent legal status and many lawful residents, including visa holders, Dreamers, and asylum-seekers. It envisions intrusive federal review of parents’ papers—quite possibly in the hospital, before or shortly after birth—to gauge the newborn’s legal status. And it paves the way for people who spend their entire lives in the United States to be deported to countries in which they’ve never stepped foot, or to be condemned to the limbo of statelessness.

I wonder how Marco Rubio feels about this. Neither of his parents were U.S. citizens at the time of his birth in the U.S.. Perhaps he'll be deported to Cuba?

He knows, but he also knows that his base is too dumb to recognize it, so he lies because raising taxes on Americans is unpopular.

Gosh, if only there were some indication that Trump was a racist that hated Hispanic people before Mosquera voted for him.

This is exactly how corrupt dictators rule. They don't give a shit about what is best for the country. Instead, they punish their "enemies" (anyone who has an issue with their corruption) and the dip into government resources to bestow favors on those friendly to them. In this case, Trump is punishing "liberal" Colorado and providing favor to friendly Alabama. What is best for the country and/or the cost of moving the command to Alabama is irrelevant.

If due process rights don't exist for immigrants, then they don't exist for anyone. How can you show you're not an immigrant without due process?

That would break the bank. California is 4th largest economy in the world, after the U.S., China, and Germany. It would probably cause Trump to declare martial law and send troops to California.

It was very "alpha" of them to get their asses kicked. I find it particularly interesting that Paul had his jaw bone shattered in this fight, but "won" against Mike Tyson. Something tells me that the Tyson fight was almost certainly rigged.

Well, he's never going to leave the Oval Office at the end of this term, so the point is kind of moot.

I'm not a big fan of Newsom, but this is a good parody of Trump's messaging. I chuckled.
