God, I am so hard right now.

Land of the Reeeeeeepublicans

Thank you!

It’s a big gap, and you’re in it!

That really doesn’t help everyone.

Thanks to my crippling ADHD, I’m completely the opposite of that, and still manage to fuck up my budget.

Performative masculinity.

“…which they believed event organizers issued in accordance with Tennessee laws restricting certain books in schools.”
Legal worries, I’m guessing.

The decline of American democracy.

They will, they will just blame any/everyone else though.

And here we’ve all been doing it for free all along!

Jeff Long’s The Descent:
In a cave in the Himalayas, a guide discovers a self-mutilated body with the warning “Satan exists”.
In the Kalahari Desert, a nun unearths evidence of a proto-human species and a deity called Older-than-Old.
In Bosnia, something has been feeding upon the dead in a mass grave.
So begins mankind’s most shocking realization: that the underworld is a vast geological labyrinth populated by another race of beings. Some call them “devils” or “demons.” But they are real. They are down there. And they are waiting for us to find them…
And it’s sequel, Deeper:
A decade has passed since doomed explorers unveiled a nightmare of tunnels and rivers honeycombing the earth’s depths. After millennia of suffering terror and predation, humanity’s armies descended to destroy the ancient hordes. Deep beneath the Pacific Ocean, a doomed science expedition killed the subterraneans’ fabled leader, and suddenly it seemed that evil was dead and all was right with the world again.
Now “Deeper” arrives to explode that complacency and plunge us back into the sunless abyss. Hell boils up through America’s subways and basements to take its revenge and steal our children. Against the backdrop of a looming war with China, a crusade of volunteers races to find the vestiges of a lost race. But a lone explorer, the linguist Ali von Schade, learns that a far greater menace lies in the unexplored heart of the planet. The real Satan can’t be killed, and he has been waiting since the beginning of time to gain his freedom. Man and his pitiless enemies are mere pawns in the greatest escape ever devised.

This death is a tragedy. At the same time, I just don’t care at this point, which is another tragedy. Israel has taken their revenge plot too far. They have turned the awful deaths of their people into the sad smoke of justification for a genocide that some of their citizens have been hoping and planning for. This is not the middle ages anymore. We know better. You know better. The fact that my government actively supports this breaks my heart all the more.

So, the article didn’t say… What kind of time is he looking at?

Was it not her in the truck then? I thought the family had positively identified her by her tattoos.Though, you really can’t see much of them in the video that went viral.

I’ll still only give you one upvote

It’s an unfortunately common, bullshit move politicians pull, just to have something to hang over each other’s heads in order to get what they want. Unfortunately, that has become totally ok in the eyes of Republican voters because it’s often the only way for their reps to force through budget items that would otherwise never make it.

That’s kind of a false equivalency though. Most laborers are not given any stock-based compensation, and those that are rarely given enough for it to make much of a difference in lives, if they’re even employed there long enough to accrue much. If motivation and alignment of interests between shareholders and employees is actually their argument, shouldn’t all employees be given similar stock-based compensation then? I don’t believe that businesses should be based on shareholder value at all (let alone the fact that the stock and debt markets seem to run our entire economy now), but based on actual, delivered value of services or products to customers. The argument that shareholder value is more important than employee pay and benefits (or human/environmental/legal rights, as it actually plays out) just creates more ways for people to be exploited and held down.

It’s Amazon/Whole Foods’ policies that lead to charging such ridiculous prices for their items. You are the same, even if you don’t realize it.

Came here to say deathcare. Especially those without a degree or license.
