They gave like $100k to the traitor Ashli Babbitt’s family too. Probably more than the family of a soldier who dies in service gets.

A militia with death benefits.

Broke/desperate/high schooler. Mom and dad probably won’t notice if the Benadryl goes missing. The Hat Man makes sure that you only make that mistake once.

Think about how many kids huffed banana peels because of some text file Anarchist Cookbook they found online. There are probably dumbasses that fell for jenkum.

Is no one allowed to have fun anymore?

I’ve gotten chased out of my profession and have no social life because I’m a queer man surrounded by MAGA. There are certain parts of my state that I can’t travel to any more, because if the wrong cop pulled me over I’d be another dead removed in a ditch.

I’m sorry I’m not fighting hard enough for you.

I have a not-quite-physics degree (I could not mentally bring myself to do the proper physics capstone, but I basically have a physics degree.) I have had multiple conversations with astrophysicists, astronauts, and people who know their shit.

It has always been abundantly clear to me that he has been full of shit. I had to play coy a lot because I had some association with NASA, but the man does not know shit about rockets or physics and it’s always been abundantly clear to anyone who does.

I doubt he could do a simple kinematics problem.

As a trans man, I would be happy to have a child. My uterus still works, as much as I would suffer going off of testosterone enough to carry, it is something I have always wanted.

Unfortunately, these people have made it legal for me to be fired for being trans. They have voted for politicians that have done nothing to address the catastrophic state of medical care which renders it prohibitively expensive to realistically ever be able to care for a child.

I believe that children deserve stable living conditions and a future, which does not seem to be something that they are concerned with at all.

DemocracyNow! has been pretty good for a long time. Although maybe you wouldn’t call them “major” - but they were on cable TV for at least some time where I live.

Amy Goodman got arrested at the 2008 GOP convention and the Dakota pipeline. Very good bona fides.

I’m an Okie. My great great grandfather raped and impregnated his daughter, which no one had a real issue with or did anything about.

But you can be damn sure any gay man in eastern Oklahoma at that time was going to end up in a ditch.

“States’ rights” has always been a bullshit lie. The confederacy did not honor states rights. The constitution explicitly instituted slavery as an institution an individual state could not abolish.

It’s gotta be soup though, because when you get caught, you can just say it’s soup for your family. So that the media will say “This is just soup. This person is very, very innocent.”

Fun story! Caterpillar - the construction equipment company - hired people to spy on Rachel Corrie’s family after her death.

Its like how we are in a mass extinction event right now.

Extinction is usually a long and drawn out process. There can be delayed responses to changes in the natural environment that mean that the species is essentially bound to be extinct even thousands of years before it actually goes extinct. Steller’s sea cow is an interesting example. Humans certainly dealt the killing blow, but the species would have been doomed anyway.

This is what is very concerning in our current mass extinction. Ocean acidification is going to wipe out a lot of species. If you make the environment hostile to phytoplankton, you are reducing calories available in the ocean. Certain more harmful algae species might overproliferate in response to the new space to live in. Phytoplankton and different species of sea grass are huge oxygen producers - decreased oxygen production could possibly have long term effects on us.

Ecology is ridiculously complicated, and tugging on one thread in the web of life can cause an entire ecosystem to collapse through a delayed response. Things are rarely instant.

It absolutely is torture. I’ve experienced consensual waterboarding myself and even if you are doing it willingly and are mentally prepared, consenting to it - it is absolutely terrifying. Your brain screams at you, just pumps your body full of fear chemicals.

Props to Hitchens for actually going through with it when he made that bet.

I’d ask for rescue, but your Supreme Court just ruled that I shouldn’t be allowed to piss anywhere at all because a mediocre children’s author is apparently a kingmaker now. Maybe y’all should prioritize taking care of your own homegrown fascists? This is sorta “there but for the grace of god go I” except yall also did stupid shit like Brexit.

Avian dinosaurs (birds) and mammals survived on the surface. The entire surface of the earth did not turn molten, and there were many species that survived that were not “in the oceans or underground deep enough.”

It’s not that all animals were incinerated in the impact (although some certainly were) - it’s that it triggered volcanism, changes in ocean acidity, gas concentration in the atmosphere and other things that put pressures on most animals food sources.

Certainly a “cosmic flash” time wise, but it’s not the apocalyptic movie scene like at the end of V or beginning of Titan AE etc.

Eh, 5 minutes is probably an exaggeration. Some (non avian, some avians made it to now 😉) dinosaur species may have made it into the very very very early Paleocene. T. rex probably did go extinct fast - obligate carnivore, less food, hot blooded, going to starve to death quickly. But it’s not as if the impact instantly killed everything. They might have made it a generation before they starved out.

In Oklahoma, we have cops that brag about having associations with the mafia (suggesting they have connections to kill journalists) and complain about how much better it would be if they could lynch black people.

These men were not removed from office.

Rest in piss Ronnie Raygun!

And when they show up on a domestic dispute, they’ll take the abusers side so that they don’t have to risk any form of conflict. The battered spouse isn’t going to fight you if you try to arrest them! (2 and half years now - no answers or report on why “your husband wants to move in a prostitute - time for you to leave” happened)
