Also Eugene Debs.

This would be much harder if we hadn’t just spent 40 years rubber stamping every corporate merger and let companies like Nexstar and Sinclair buy up all the local tv stations.

Shocking that a terminally online 22 year old doesn’t have a consistent ideology.

I saw a comment on instagram from someone saying Charlie Kirk had had some “powerful comments” in his videos. Checked the profile and there was a ton of pro-environment, anti-cop content. Most people don’t think super hard about their political ideology.

Start Talking To Technology Executives About How Much They Will Be Taxed

Reminds me of a joke.

Back during the 1950s, a USSR elementary school is discussing the definition of different words. The teacher asks “who can say what catastrophe means?” Dmitri raises his hand, “if my mother dropped her groceries on the way home, that would be a catastrophe.” Teacher: “not quite, that would be a misfortune, it wouldn’t be a catastrophe.” Svetlana raises her hand and says “if a plane were to crash, that would be a catastrophe.” Teacher: “not exactly, that would certainly be a tragedy but not a catastrophe. Then Sasha raises his hand, “if our great comrade Stalin died, that would be a catastrophe.” Teacher: “very good! That would indeed be a catastrophe. How did you know that was correct?” Sasha: “well, it wouldn’t be a misfortune, it wouldn’t be a tragedy…”

Adam Conover did an episode of his podcast talking to Amy Schiller about this exact thing: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4UenwOIb6jE

I’m not surprised, being a billionaire implies a complete void of morality and ethics. He’d profit from any level of cruelty if the opportunity presented itself.

I agree, I feel like that name is pronounced more like “bowel cancer”.

As I stated, the change was in 1977, and the NRA became a gun industry shill after that. The comment I was replying to said it had “never” been anything but that, when for the first hundred years it was an overall nonpartisan and anodyne organization.

I wish I was the kind of person who would do this.

Not really, that happened in 1977. See the “history” section: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Rifle_Association?wprov=sfti1

The Mulford act was passed in 1967, when the NRA was still a nonpartisan organization that promoted gun safety and responsible ownership. In 1977 there was an internal coup that replaced the leadership with a group of second amendment extremists (or gun industry shills) who proceeded to turn the NRA hard to the right.

Vegas never interested me but I have friends who have talked about that shift. Even going somewhere other than a casino, food and entertainment used to be a bargain compared to other vacation destinations, including restaurants that were started by well known chefs. Now everything is at a premium, even more so than other places.

Simple solution: Apple stops dealing with the UK. All user contracts are null and void due to the change in the law.

Not disagreeing with ACAB but this particular guy was speaking on behalf of the Houston PD, saying they don’t wear ski masks. The two guys who got shot could be from any number of organizations.

I had a manager once who was allergic to citrus. Like your allergy it was more “ruin her day” not “send her to the ER” but it was nearly impossible for her to avoid unless she made everything from scratch.

The data collection opt-out on Boredpanda is atrocious. Had to manually select no on ~10 items and the “save” button didn’t appear immediately.

This is in Germany, I don’t know if that makes a difference with how trans folks are treated in prison but other aspects of prison vary from country to country.
