Obviously I’m voting for Biden. That being said, it really is something to live here in the ‘land of the free’ and read sentences stating that voting for someone who doesn't support genocide isn’t an option this cycle. Pragmatic and true, but goddamn does it burn.

My read on the article was that this was the corporation tipping their hand on how that process was going to play out, but I could certainly be wrong. read to me like the faculty voted for them to graduate, but this was the board vetoing that and affirming that they were still to be dealt with, and that the consequences were going to be grim. Hopefully that’s not the case.

Thanks for the 4 years tuition though!

I could see them barring them from walking for their degree, but to hold it completely is messed up. Bullshit that ‘the corporation’ overruled the faculty vote.

Yep, and after looking into this a little, affinity health providers is the culprit. They bought the hospital in 2021. ‘Streamlining’ is one of their key phrases on their website.

Haha, that’s soot buildup from campfires.

I hiked that trail a while ago, anything they could have taken from that spot was of no value to them at all. Just being shitty people.

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.

This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children..

He’s on my ‘who? Oh yeah, that asshole’ list.

Dude fired seven times, and three hit the car. What a menace, should have been charged with attempted murder.

They’ll just ban them from being imported. Far cheaper to pay off some politicians than it is to compete or whatever. Kinda like the tariffs on the solar panels ‘flooding the market’ they just announced.

Same as the old norm

I really don’t understand the logic here. Like yeah, Trump clearly wants to rig the election. But if that’s the plan, why hire a bunch of people who both failed and got caught trying rig the last election. I can understand some level of rewarding loyalty, but this not only tips your hand, it also promotes incompetence. Unless its all meant as a ‘screw you’ to everyone else, in which case its cutting off the nose to spite the face.

Movie is definitely top tier, I also love the novella. Different Seasons is what I point to when people dismiss stephen king. Shawshank Redemption, Stand By Me, and (while not on the level as the other two) Apt Pupil all in the same collection. But to each their own; pretty sure the final story is trash though haha.

Wonder if this will finally get me to put down the original or if I just play both from now on lol.

I could see the Florida judge going along with this, just because every other ruling she’s made so far has been the wrong one. Would force it and the other ruling to the supreme court for being competing judgements I believe.

Read an article the other day about some of the graffiti that was done. Couldn’t find that one (lol), but this article seems pretty good as well.

Unfortunately, that’s not how this works. By resigning, the officer terminated the investigation. Is probably already working the next closest PD because they have no red flags ( because the previous investigation was unable to conclude). Quite the system.

While it may not guarantee how ethical a company is, getting B Corporation status seems as good of an indicator as anything I’ve come across. I figure if Patagonia is willing to certify with them, maybe its legit? Here’s a link to their search page.

Yes, in many parts of the west they were not even allowed those marginalized communities. For all intents and purposes, Oregon was a ‘sundown state’ until the civil rights era. I have coworkers whose deed to the house they bought still has (obviously now unenforceable) language in it stating that the house may only be sold to a person of caucasian descent. Oregon was anti-slavery, not because they opposed slavery, but because it would bring people of color into the state. I say all of this as a southerner who was shocked to learn the racial history when I moved here to Oregon.

Portland may be progressive today, but that is a recent development, and the rural portions of the state still fly a traitorous flag.
