When I found out my mom voted for Trump the first time, I didn't speak to her for a year. I only did then because she reached out to say she was wrong (a first for her).

When I explained (more like yelled) why I wasn't going to have anything to do with her, I told her in detail how she was betraying everything she raised me to be. She used to sponsor the LGBT club at the school where she worked and I told her she was betraying all those kids she said she cared about.

It isn't a choice between you and Trump. It is a choice between your dad being the type of man he raised you to be, or not.

They don't give a fuck about the last mile deliveries. Without USPS keeping prices low, they will be able to rank up what they charge. It's a dream for them.

It seems to me that what he did to Twitter was a dry run for what he is doing to the government. Buy it, gut it, and leave a useless shell populated by white supremacists.

These people have never had to face the consequences of their actions and it shows.

It's not the same everywhere. Chicago has one of the biggest restaurant scenes in the country and there aren't any Native American restaurants. There are a few Mexican restaurants that do one or two traditional dishes, but that's it.

I guess I assumed that would include at least some limited rights to RvB.

The audit wouldn't matter if you didn't cheat on your taxes, now would it Pete?

Apparently one of the original creators got the license back from Warner Bros recently, so we might see it on again somewhere

While the whole series was still streaming, I watched Red vs Blue on a constant loop for years.

It would be absolutely hilarious if the workers took this opportunity to unionize and negotiate getting their jobs back with higher pay and better benefits.

Fascinating!

I wonder what would happen if you removed the gland? How long could they live and how big could they get?

Bill Burr for dogcatcher.

Ever see an old abandoned gas station lot sit unoccupied for years and years and wonder why nobody buys it? These tanks are why. To build something new on the land, you have to remove the tanks and clean up any spills. It usually costs more than the land is worth.

Walgreens found an "interesting" way of using these properties. They get a 99 year lease, which means they can just pave over the land and leave all the contamination right where it is. The land owner will still be responsible for cleaning up the mess in 99 years, but they'll be dead so they don't care. Who cares if the people living nearby have unusually high incidence of cancer, right?

Oh sure. The water contamination itself is horrific, but it doesn't stick in people's mind as well as random buildings exploding.

Gas stations keep their gasoline in underground storage tanks. Sometimes those tanks leak. The spilled fuel will spread on top of the water table. What happened before the EPA regulations is this gas would seep into basements and crawl spaces. The fumes would build up until something like the pilot light of a furnace was enough to ignite them. Then boom, the building would explode.

That's the trick though. Contempt of court isn't the same as breaking a law and doesn't have the same restrictions. For example, a person can be held in jail for contempt indefinitely without trial until the person yields to the demand of the judge. This sometimes happens to people who refuse to pay child support that the courts know they can afford.

It will be really interesting for the supreme court to decide if a president can be held in contempt of court.

It's possible that this is a threat to judges. I read it as "Resist us and be removed".

It's horrifying that I could see Greenland being his Poland and Canada being his France.
