@wtyppod.bsky.social hit me up next time you need a Missouri knower on the pod lmao

They're charging it as interstate stalking which enables them to tack on a federal charge for murder with a firearm. The commerce clause has been stretched so far as to enable this nonsense, and the courts haven't been willing to call out the arbitrary and selective application.

At very least I can maybe offer this comfort: all the capital prefixes are big, and all the lower case prefixes are small. M (mega, 10^6) is the smallest capital letter prefix.

Next up: Kansas GOP's effort to wreck our Supreme Court

Looks like I've made an embarrassing public mistake. Time to do what alpha males like me do in these situations: whine and avoid accountability

Setting cheap Ikea filters to "how can you possibly make that much noise" mode but it seems to be helping

Green card holder from New Hampshire 'interrogated' at Logan Airport, detained Fabian Schmidt’s family said they are unsure of why he is being held. They said he has a recently renewed green card, and no active issues in court.

“Schmidt being “violently interrogated” at Logan Airport for hours, and being stripped naked, put in a cold shower by two officials, and being put back onto a chair.”

Whatever happened to #abolishICE? It needs to be abolished. This is torture.

Have they tried not bastardizing Christ's teachings with their own abhorrent and uncouth views?

Platt was basically successfully accused of establishing a practice of explicitly lying to the media, and as a consequence he appears to have lost the city almost a million bucks in a civil suit. I think any mayor would be inclined to treat that as radioactivity.

Dems are perpetually building party strategy around centrist fallacies in lieu of developing moral imaginations. The results speak for themselves.

Yeah, like, did some other Kamala Harris run around for weeks with Liz Cheney or what? Bizarre delusional nonsense. Just completely ceding the narrative to the worst right wing dorks without any resistance.

Hell yeah brother

We are having the worst flu season in 15+ yrs & staring down an avian flu threat that has already spread unchecked in other mammals and taken American life

Our government response is to cancel planning for the next flu shot, cancel funding for bird flu vaccines & treatments, & cut Medicaid coverage

There is at least one very popular antidepressant that specifically doesn't have sexual side effects and is neutral to helpful with weight loss. Not that they care.

Kansas Democrat plugs tough new approach: 'When they go low, introduce their a$$ to the basement' • Kansas Reflector The words speak for many, not just in the cities and towns and rural communities of Kansas, but across the nation. “What is wrong with the Democratic party of which I am a member?

Senator we are well beyond inflation being the worst thing happening

I don't think some of these folks are ready to go on the Internet at all

We perfected consumer audio with the CD. Everything before it was subpar, and for listening, anything more is unnecessary. It's beautiful.

CDs get you uncompressed audio without much expense or hassle I suppose

Much more is lost on vinyl than in digital quantization. CD audio is essentially perfect for listening.

I wake up in the morning. I sit at my computer. The internet screams at me that the world is on fire. I am overwhelmed by the deluge of bad news and faceplant in front of the computer.

I would like this comic I drew in 2017 to stop being relevant pleeeaaaaase

Every time I've advised orgs on inclusion, especially on LGBTQ+ inclusion, I've said they need a detailed plan for how to respond when the attacks come.

DO NOT put your LGBTQ staff into the public eye if you are not ready to stand with them and don't have a plan to support them. This isn't a game.

I've been trying to understand why I feel the particular flavor of distressed that I do right now. I think it's because we can no longer discuss the lessons we should be learning from any kind of disaster without the worst chucklefucks coming out of the woodwork to wreck everything.

Cold fried chicken, leftover Tex Mex, fried rice, meat and potatoes, most savory Chinese takeout meats, many kinds of BBQ. So many rich or hearty dishes are amazing when hashed, scrambled, topped with an egg, or served on grits
