The criminal charges were announced one and a half years after Brand was accused of sexual misconduct by four women in the fall of 2023.

I’m assuming you’re referencing to these earlier accusations. Accusations -> Charges-> Prosecution -> Verdict is the usual process.

As an aside I’ve actually been rewatching a lot of panel shows and he’s consistently my least favourite participant.

Added on to this is how ATC is immediately blamed. From my understanding of the crash earlier this year ATC had received all-clears but the helicopter had visual on the wrong jet. Imagine doing your job to the best of your ability and still being blamed for something outside of your control.

The photo I uploaded shows in a lower resolution I have. Any recommendations on why to upload for all the pixels?

Me going to another city because a car hit me and the ambulance that arrived was contracted by a hospital in another city.

Watters is a creep

Watters, 43, shared the memory about his wife Emma DiGiovine, 29, during an episode of his panel series The Five last week, where he told his colleagues that he had relied on the tactic to get close to his then-colleague.

“When I was trying to get Emma to date me, first thing I did, uh, I let the air out of her tyres,” Watters claimed. “She couldn’t go anywhere, she needed a lift. I said: ‘Hey, you need a lift?’ She hopped right in the car.”

I’m not normally a Sondheim fan, but his musical ‘Assassins’ is pretty good. Just a random thought

I finally got a message from them 3 min ago. I was worried I wasn’t cool enough 🥲

Not active duty or a vet, but have had a lot of family in the forces;

Their duty is to uphold the constitution and protect the nation ostensibly, so they’d be obligated to refuse an illegal order. Realistically you won’t see that play out amongst the rank and file in part due to the culture of ‘discipline’ in the US military, and also the reality of court martial/dishonourable discharge. If something like this did occur it would likely be the five and/or four star generals that make the call. Now you have two powerful factions at odds with potentially catastrophic results.

Either way there’s gonna be court martials.

I’ve got a base 12 still and running the dev beta for 18(.3). I haven’t noticed any lag; granted I rarely use Siri

Change electricity to energy and we’re good again

We also have the top two ports in the US. And if we took the PNW with us nearly all trade from Asia would pass through this theoretical new country before reaching the US.

Edit; also there’s a lot of division between the urban and rural areas of all west coast states. It’s fun to think about, but I don’t see it happening without a major conflict

Might actually use chat GPT for the first time to spam them that way

You’re heaping a lot of guilt on the shoulders of those that don’t really have a choice.

as if they were some innocent bystanders sucked into an evil black hole of traffic...

That’s honestly how it is in the states. You go where your job tells you to. Even jobs that could be remote (as proven by the pandemic) are making employees return to work.

I don’t need your scorn; the people making me commute should be your target. I’m just trying to pay my bills.

I’m on iOS, using voyager, proton vpn, and a 3rd party ad blocker and the image loaded just fine for me ¯(ツ)/¯

We have so many 7-11s in my area; do other states not have them‽ I’ve traveled quite a bit but it’s honestly not something I kept a tally of

Obligatory Babylon 5 Swedish meatballs

I’ve had a chuckle about Canada being the 51st state before, but this is just ridiculous
