I assumed there were no sober Zamboni drivers

If there wasn’t such a strong black market for illegal drugs in the US, these cartels wouldn’t have this much power/money.

Read it last year and loved it and the sequel. Earth seed is neat as a concept because it does feel like in larger groups people need a religious analog as a set of guiding principles.

His whole speech was a call for bipartisanship and for all workers to unite along class lines. Aside from a tiny bit of pandering to the venue/audience which makes the rightwing audience more receptive to the message, he didn’t endorse or praise the Republican party. If you want Republican voters to wake up and vote in their own interest, this is how the message has to go. It’s also a great way to sow division within the Republican party.

Why ban, why not just have an accountability partner?

90+% of this article is good, valuable, and interesting. I too ride on 3-4 lane roads and have dealt with aggressive drivers, it’s nice to be seen.

However this bit chafes:

The dismissive ‘male glance’ is real, on the bike as in all of life. I can distinctly recall men realizing another cyclist (me, almost 50) is behind them, at a red light or whatever, and looking back, only to discover a woman who is older than he is, on a not-interesting-to-him bike, with no interesting blingy gear on it, and have him turn away, barely able to acknowledge I was there at all. What was he expecting to see? A sexualizable object young enough to be worthy of his attention?

There is no winning, being catcalled or ignored is equally appalling to you, how is anyone supposed to go about their life in proximity to you? He could certainly say hi, but is not obligated or even expected to. His response likely has less to do with the fact that you’re a woman than it does with they fact they probably have something else on their mind.

This from a court controlled by the party that decries the federal government having too much power. Watch as the spiders eat their own and go on not caring.

Seems like a good place for free public housing.

Satan doesn’t whisper “Believe in me”, He yells “Believe in yourself!”

Jitsi has done a lot to improve functionality since lock down. Still pretty basic, but it’s free and can do moderation.

In most of South Carolina you can still find houses for $100-150k.

It is also the directors job to get good performances out of the actors. When directing a bunch of kids, they should have near line by line direction for tone and inflection, you can tell that didn’t happen, Sokka might be the most egregious example of that.

This is from a state where they are afraid of books harming their children.

Here’s hoping she stays in to the primary and splits the Rep. vote.

If diversified goes under, I doubt it has enough in escrow to close all of those wells. Will the government allow it to use the money from the fine to close the leakiest wells as a compromise?

Gun or no gun, he’s not a good guy and couldn’t have stopped the bad guy…

Fumoffu?

Ah, I see you have smelt that which I have dealt.

That won’t happen before the primaries are over.
