@skinnylatte It has a similar vibe to the “uplifting” stories of some elementary school kid raising money to pay off the school lunch debt of his fellow students. Someone organized to address a failing of the system, but rather than take a harder look at the failing system, we’re just supposed to applaud the person who temporarily alleviated the issue.

I overheard someone asking not to be told spoilers for The Odyssey.

My dude, you’re two and a half MILLENNIA past being able to complain that people are spoiling the story!

@WarnerCrocker no future administration should agree its bound by this corrupt “settlement”

@heidilifeldman what IRB signed off on this?! And in particular the part about it being OPT-OUT?!

@skinnylatte @emma is that the one without the humidifier chamber? How does that work out? (Been wondering about getting one, although last I asked my doctor said no, since I actually have a BiPAP)

@thomasfuchs All but four humans that have ever existed are in that picture

@Uair @blogdiva America also needs to use the funds to build public parks and green space in cities. Many of cities are atrocious at having safe outdoor green spaces for kids (and adults).

@thomasfuchs The replacement blades are getting hard to find

@cwebber @jalefkowit The next DMCA will criminalize independent thought that doesn’t rely on the intelligence utility

@WarnerCrocker savvy Democrats would throw him an anchor. If there were any in party leadership.

@inthehands and Europeans complain Americans don’t protest in large enough numbers

Because many of those folks railing against federal agents became them for Trump, specifically to brutalize blue states

This isn’t “immigration enforcement”, this is straight-up kidnapping, criminal behavior from federal agents in open war against The People of the United States. This is fucking Treason.

@mousey Donald Trump’s thugs are kidnapping children now!

@aral @blogdiva @Sherifazuhur “Board of Genocide” sounds more accurate, given both their actions.

@inthehands wow, that’s an inspiring list of locals. I even recognize a good many of them, though I’ve been out of the city for 15 years (visit the metro regularly). Even Angry Trout up in Grand Marais!

@skinnylatte regarding seasoning and flavor, I have to wonder if a big problem is American portion sizes are commonly expected to be so huge that properly seasoning would lead to massive over-consumption of salt (and probably other things), so the result is massive, bland portions.

@WarnerCrocker yeah, I’m guessing GOP leadership buries it.

@WarnerCrocker if Senate GOP want to block it, the entire GOP including the swing district folks can still get bashed for it during the campaigns

@inthehands oh, I’m not advocating it; I’m just pointing out why the chickenshit ICE folks start wigging out when the crowd arrives— they’re personally cowards, suddenly confronted by real personal courage, and while they’re excited to bust heads, they’re imaginative enough to know they stand little chance personally if that kind of courage were to suddenly raise arms against them.
