Banning encyclopedias would be more like banning Wikipedia. Banning the dictionary is more like banning dictionary.com.

What's up with all the posts recently that imply Trump would end support for Israel? That "genocide" button isn't exclusive to Biden, that button will get pressed by pretty much every realistically viable candidate in 2024.

Jupiter's Legacy in case anyone is curious what the show is.

Yes. Outlawing death-preventing healthcare will lead to more preventable deaths.

Right wing authoritarianism is unfortunately pretty popular in Western democracies these days. I'm hopeful that things get better some day, but I'm also worried that they'll get a whole lot worse before then.

They were more likely to be female

...interesting.

Anecdotally, I feel like a lot of the hardcore anti-vax, anti-science, etc conservatives are women who've been sucked into various conspiracy circles on social media. Seems like they're often undereducated stay at home moms who are somewhat socially isolated. Basically the same demographic that typically gets targeted by pyramid schemes.

That's just one subgroup in MAGA-land, so it's still interesting that women seem to be such a majority in that wing of the party.

Does cruise control and lane assist count as "partially autonomous"?

And now Cracked is functionally a content graveyard.

I'll have you know that Cracked is the number one source for shitty listicles that were generated by running a /r/AskReddit thread through an AI.

I assume, at least. Haven't actually visited cracked since before 2010 probably.

In addition to Putin not wanting to turn him into a martyr, keeping him around as an opposition candidate allows Putin to maintain a facade of democratic legitimacy. The people have another viable option besides Putin, even if it's just the illusion of free choice.

TIL I was using the Jurassic Internet as a teenager

Step 1: have billionaire parents

Step 2: inherit an absolutely obscene amount of money

Police can't both get to decide that they get to selectively enforce the law and then take no responsibility when the injure or kill innocent people.

Supreme Extreme Court: That's where your wrong, bucko.

They didn't do either, you're responding to a paranoid schizophrenic. Their post and comment history are full of nonsense about being tracked, doxxed, and gangstalked.

I suspect that you doxxed me. Why are you only allowed to dox?

Time to get back on your meds, I think.

They're probably blocking you because you're actively calling for mods to get doxxed as a response to your bizarre gangstalking delusions.

Maritime law, folks. They don't want you to know about the - you know we have fantastic maritime laws in this country. Some of the best, maybe better than anyone else. We used to have them at least, but the radical leftists won't tell you about that. When I walk into the courtroom - and these are corrupt places, let me tell you. A lot of people are talking about how unfairly people are treated here, especially if you're the president. And when you're the president you know a thing or two about courtrooms, folks. I start talking about the courts and the law and the maritime law and everyone listening - many of them lawyers, some of which have good genes, very good genes, folks, some of them are Jewish - I hear a lot lawyers are Jewish but I don't know - when I talk about the courts they say "sir! Sir! How do you know so much about courts and law?" I don't know, folks, but maybe it's natural talent. But when you walk into the courtroom and you see the judges and the lawyers and the bailiff out to get you but you also see the tassels on the flag - they're beautiful tassels, folks. One on each corner of the beautiful American flag. Golden, too. Everyone will tell you that I love gold, I have a lot of things painted gold in Mar A Lago. But when you see the tassels you know it has to be maritime law, not the phony, corrupt laws they use in New York, or Georgia, or Colorado. It's gotta be the maritime law. But there's no sailors in the court so you know - we used to have fantastic sailors in this country, they'd sail huge distances on the oceans. Maybe hundreds of miles, very far. Very far folks. They were in the Navy but maybe on other boats, too. But when you don't see them in the courtroom you know they there's no maritime law. But when you see the beautiful gold tassels on the beautiful American flag you know there's supposed to be maritime law happening, but it's not happening, so you know it's all corrupt. It needs to be thrown out. It means I'm exonerated and everyone knows it. A lot of people are saying it. Very smart people.

Relevant xkcd

As the other poster said, it's a step in the right direction. But it's also important to keep in mind that he's a Democrat governor in a pretty red state. He can't exactly afford to be unilaterally making big moves like that.

If Matt Bevin or Daniel Cameron were governor we wouldn't be making progress at all. Personally I've been very happy with Daddy Beshear's governorship.
