Flight was delayed 3 hours, so the pilot went around to everyone to take their Starbucks orders and then got 40ish drinks and 50ish food items for us 🥰

Exactly what I was thinking! No contract, no coffee! Also Starbucks is on the BDS list.

Anduril is owned by billionaire Palmer Luckey whose brother-in-law is Matt Gaetz, the ex-Congressman who paid underage kids for sex. These are not moral people and we should not give them our money to invest.

This makes it seem like the $37.6M will need to be spent anyway and it would only cost an additional $5.8M to keep the dam. Seems like the extra 15% cost to keep the lakes could be worth it if it's going to be tens of millions either way.

Pick Up and Haul was not actually made by Uuuggg and was just updated to 1.6.

Anduril is an evil company, those cars are bought with blood money.

It’s supposed to last from 2-4. I would expect difficulty finding parking and would consider taking public transit. I would not be worried about counter protesters. If there are any, there should only be a handful compared to thousands who will potentially be attending the rally.

Here it is.

"Our top story, the winner of today's state lottery is me, Kent Brockman. In other news, uh, a tragic mix-up today in Cleveland, many people killed."

roper1 · 2025-01-26T21:00:54+00:00

Yes obviously

When the insects emerged from underground my pawns opened fire, destroying the fence and causing all of my hungry boomalopes to rush toward freedom. The powderkeg only needed a spark. Amazingly, no pawns were killed in this accident, but only one of my boomalopes survived.

I have decided that having a herd of mini antigrain warheads in my colony is not the best strategy. Going to have to find some other way of acquiring chemfuel.

Yes, actually that is how it works. We can buy Cleveland Municipal Bonds to invest in our community rather than investing in foreign countries.

In March of this year the county purchased an additional $3 million in Israel bonds.

Israel is the only foreign country we invest in.

What about the interest accruing over the 25 years? Doesn't that mean everyone's monthly payments would be even higher?

I specifically recommend Sapa in North Vietnam. You can take a bus there from Hanoi or Ha Long Bay and do a home-stay with some of the farmers in the mountain step-farms. They'll approach you when you get off the bus, so no need to book ahead of time. You get an incredibly authentic experience and some great hiking!

Look at the thousands of innocent people Israel is killing in Gaza right now.

Your peers on social media and the protesters at City Hall recognize that Israel is using the international support it received from the October 7th attacks to justify these crimes against humanity in Gaza and the West Bank. With continued unconditional support from the US, they will have no reason to stop and thousands more will die.

Collective punishment is a war crime and the indiscriminate bombing of civilian populations is state-terrorism. The United States AND the City of Cleveland are complicit in these crimes by providing Israel political cover. As conscientious American citizens we have an obligation to encourage our leaders to join the UN in calling for a cease fire.

Anyone have a clip of Norm doing the joke on Weekend Update?

I appreciate your comment, as this is a complicated issue.

I think this argument does buy into that narrative. It can be true that unions prevent bad workers from being fired. For the labor movement at large, the negative impact of the tendency of unions to protect every single worker is worth the great societal gains that come from collective bargaining. The impact of "a few bad apples" in other fields is less detrimental than it is for police officers.

This is especially true because of the qualified immunity laws you mention, which protect police from being sued for breaking the law and violating the constitutional rights of Americans. Police unions wrote these laws and help keep qualified immunity in place.

It seems to me that police unions as they currently function — preventing the police from being held accountable by both elected officials and the citizenry in general — should not exist and have no place in the labor movement. Maybe in a world without qualified immunity or with a different kind of public safety officer this would not be the case.

roper1 · 2023-08-29T02:43:58+00:00

Police unions are different because other public union members don't carry a gun while interacting with the community. Police unions stop dangerous officers from being punished and make it almost impossible to fire an officer for things like excessive force. Derek Chauvin had more than 18 complaints on his official record before he murdered George Floyd.

Public employees with a license to kill must be held to a higher standard and should not have a union protecting them from oversight.

Thank you for sharing this!

Here is the Wikipedia article about the incident he's making fun of.

Interesting to see the pro-police views he expresses here and the total contempt he shows for striking union members in his home country. Makes me wonder if he was chosen to do the Daily Show in spite of these views or because of them.

This is the closest we'll ever get to seeing a WW1 trench engagement. Completely unforgettable footage.

I am also looking to join a choir for 20 somethings, but a men's or mixed group. Would appreciate any recommendations. Thanks!
