We’ve stopped paying and respecting journalists. If you want that position now, you just have to pump out as many stories as you can. It’s disgusting.

I have heard/read a lot about these schools, but the above first person story of what he went through really made it hit home. Crazy shit if you have the time.

I think you’re just supposed to not get hired, not get arrested!

Or does Clinton get to be both the first LGBTQ+ and first black president?

One of the true Cincinnati Bengals.

Chariot progressive. Listen. Mandelbrot set is in motion. Echo Choir has been breached, we are fielding the ball.

Does weight matter? To some people. Does height matter? To some people. Does financial status matter? To some people. If you click, you click, if you don’t, you don’t. Don’t overthink it.

In less than eight weeks, California will compel thousands of companies across the nation to speak on the deeply controversial topic of climate change

Controversial? Only to morons and dipshits. It’s like me saying I don’t think clouds actually have water in them, and then that opinion is said to be controversial, not factually wrong.

I remember in my area, about 25-30 years ago, everyone was having these types of flags hanging outside, not pineapples, but the same style with the border. Not necessarily the swinging connotations of of these days. Did they ever go to Hawaii and talk about it a lot? Or, hey, maybe everyone is right, they were pretty hip.

…former senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema—two centrists who frequently opposed former President Joe Biden’s agenda

What the fuck does “centrist” mean if these very right of center fuckheads are labeled “centrist” by the daily beast?

Wouldn’t the lower oxygen content in the atmosphere quickly kill the thing?

Insert that clip of him from years ago saying that you drop magnets in water, they stop working…

An interesting, to me, aside: The luddites were not, as is commonly taught, anti-technology. They were protesting against the consolidation of money/power that technology was making possible. We don’t want to teach class warfare though.

From the article:

Attorney Miller said school leaders at Sixth Ward Middle School failed to address the girl’s complaints about the circulating image, despite her reporting it to school leaders.

“The school board’s actions in this case are reprehensible,” Miller said. “My client’s daughter was begging them all day to put a stop to this. Not only did they not put a stop to it, they put [her] on the bus with the perpetrator.”

When the girl saw the photo being shared again on the school bus, she hit the boy who she said was responsible for creating it. She was later expelled from the school.

and

Lafourche Parish Sheriff Craig Webre said one student was charged with ten counts of unlawful dissemination of images created by artificial intelligence in September.

The sheriff noted that additional arrests and charges are possible.

Seems like she has a pretty strong case. The girl’s dad seems more reasonable than most these days:

Despite the situation, Daniels said he holds no animosity toward the boy accused of creating the photo or his family.

“Honestly, I have no ill will towards that young man or his family. Kids are kids, and they do dumb things just like adults do. So, especially at that age, they don’t comprehend the severity of what they do,” Daniels said.

I remember going to a local smoker about a decade ago, and there was a whole team walking around with SS in a huge font on their shirts.

I read it thinking,“Does this guy really think he’s the only one who watched Carlin and is now trying to pass it off as his own idea?”

I told my ex something like,“We can never know exactly what is going on in someone else’s mind. And I, along with everyone else, have the right to privacy of my own thoughts.” Something along those lines. It was a couple of decades ago, but it helped for a few months.

Yeah, Japan never tried to colonize anyone…<roll my eyes>. Sure, China has shown immense respect for other cultures…<laughing to myself>. I suppose you could say African and Native American tribes never fought to bring “other” tribes down…if you like to lie. <huge sigh>…carry on. I can’t believe a fell for the bate. Whatever.

It’s going to take longer than my remaining years for all this magat shit to get rinsed out of the system.

She’s a republican with a magat family, so Republicans are just quick to glean onto that. I’ve never heard her say anything political, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
