Carbrains have one refrain: economic harm. As if driving any distance longer than a football field is more convenient than a walkable/bikeable city with good public transit for longer hauls.

I heard a report on Democracy Now! from a Houston neurosurgeon who is in Gaza for Doctors Without Borders and it was horrifying. He treated a young man who was shot in the neck while waiting for food at an aid station, the man will be paralyzed for the rest of his life. One of this doctor’s colleagues is an orthopedic surgeon who has had to amputate arms and legs from kids who are 7-8 years old.

What Israel is doing is evil. There are far too many people who should be made to answer for that evil.

It’s the hypocrisy. SW should be legal/decriminalized, but this motherfucker would have preached against fornication while getting a BJ under the pulpit if he thought he’d get away with it.

Took far too long. He got ~70 years more than he should have.

“I was thinking about that phrase ‘free as the air’ and thought ‘what if it wasn’t?’”

That headline doesn’t narrow things down much.

There’s a second factor at work, which is that the institutions targeted by more “extreme” actions also don’t want those actions publicized.

Consider an action like the one depicted in “How to Blow Up a Pipeline.” If they don’t have a perpetrator in cuffs, the oil company and the cops would not want to admit the action happened at all, because it makes them look vulnerable.

To clarify, “Stockholm syndrome” was coined in regard to a woman who was held hostage by bank robbers in Sweden. When interviewed later, the woman recounted that neither the police nor the mayor seemed concerned with her safety, so she buddied up with the robbers to maximize her chances of survival.

Just to clarify, TN is barely a net contributor to the federal budget. They are a net contributor by $4 billion, NY state is a net contributor of $89 billion.

Guarantee this guy pays a statuesque blonde to beat the shit out of him, or wishes he could afford to.

A good friend of mine from high school got his physics PhD at University of Texas and went on to work in the high energy plasma physics lab there with the Texas Petawatt laser, and a lot of the experiments it was used for involved plasma turbulence and determining what path energetic particles would take in a hypothetical fusion reactor.

Millions of people around the country turned out to protest that, and the protests are ongoing. Also, this isn’t “one more brown guy,” he’s one of the most visible politicians in the country right now.

Also, if your rep is not on the list, call their office and express your appreciation that they voted to move forward with impeachment.

Alberta’s rep as the Texas of Canada seems more and more accurate every day.

Look up Jaime Loftus’ excellent podcast “My Year in MENSA” for an in-depth look at the organization.

I miss the old Onion where they had an occasional column written by “Christopher Walken” called “Walken in LA.”

Yeah, all the detail was the bare minimum to show that the car was used as a weapon.

I can’t even read this shit anymore. I’m almost more furious with the Democrats than the republicans at this point. Every single nominee should have been a knock-down, drag-out fight. We’d be better off with an empty cabinet than the array of lickspittles and lunatics in there now.

It’s really bad when Tulsi Gabbard is one of the only trustworthy people in the administration.

I learned yesterday that the USFL was initially supposed to be a summer league, to give football players who weren’t NFL-ready out of college a chance to upskill. Donald Trump insisted it have games in the fall, directly competing with the NFL instead. The league failed the same year it moved.

Donald Trump is the anti-Midas: everything he touches turns into garbage.
