My vintage appliances just became much more valuable.

takes off her face and puts it in a jar of adrenochrome every night

With some help from her government-issued boyfriend. That “face” is really stuck on.

Concentration camps.

Coal-burning power plants are among the largest sources of hazardous air pollution, including mercury, lead, arsenic and acid gases, as well as major sources of benzene, formaldehyde, dioxins and other organic hazardous air pollutants.

“you’ll continue to see hamburger innovation as we move throughout the year,” Cook said.

Everyone eating real food elsewhere due to a lack of “hamburger innovation” at Wendy’s, raise your hand. Thought so.

Imagine popping out a kid today. The kid’s going to live until what, 50 or 60 maybe, if they’re lucky, because of all the pollution plus anthropogenic global warming?

Even SS is indexed by how much you earned as a wage-slave over your lifetime. If you’ve done something other than slaving for the Boss, or if your slaving has been for low pay, you get commensurately less in SS payments and the state will be happy to see you starve and freeze in old age.

Nekiva Levy Armstrong, a Twin Cities civil rights attorney and ordained reverend since 2016, and Monique Cullers, the co-founder of Black Lives Matter Minnesota, were among a group of community activities Tuesday to call for the resignation of David Easterwood as pastor of Cities Church in St. Paul.

They say Easterwood is also the acting field director for ICE in Minnesota. They say it’s a direct conflict of interest for someone in a faith leadership role to also be a leader in immigration enforcement operations.

The “Straight White American Jesus” podcast touched on this sin-of-empathy stuff recently. Listen here:

"Brad Onishi and Dan Miller connect the dots between City’s Church, ICE, Doug Wilson’s theological orbit, and the ideology behind The Sin of Empathy, showing how a strain of Christian nationalism produces pastors who see no contradiction between pulpit ministry and state violence. "

Guns are LOUD. Much louder than you expect.

Especially handguns. As a kid I’d shot lots of rifles including some beautiful .22s and the latter weren’t very loud. As an adult I picked up a .22 pistol and figured I’d go out in the woods and plink a little w/it. First shot … holy hell, WTF was that?? Yeah I got my hearing back but I’ve never pulled a trigger again w/o ear protection.

“he got his s*** rocked,” - just the kind of speech you want to want to hear from a federal agency. Classy bunch, really dignified.

This poor victim, if he somehow survives and is released (no doubt after some more beatings in retribution for getting a judge on his side) will have traumatic brain injury and be disabled for the rest of his life. All because ICE, empowered and funded by Trump and Republicans, hires violent sociopaths and encourages them to do such things.

Considering they were all pig-piled on top of him and beating him right before the execution, for no reason other than “it’s fun!”, I’m not the least surprised at this. ICE are violent sociopaths, overjoyed at being allowed to employ lethal violence whenever they choose (and no doubt being encouraged to do so), and they were celebrating the “kill” they’d just made.

It’s obvious from the fact that they unloaded on his body even after the victim was dead that they all wanted nothing more than to beat and shoot someone, and well, shit, even if the guy is dead already, you’d can at least riddle his body with bullets and get 90% of the feeling of having murdered someone. Even if you didn’t actually file the lethal shot it’s still a rush, and better luck next time when you might be the one, the first guy to pull the trigger, can’t wait!

I wouldn’t be surprised to see them breaking out the beers and partying after a kill. That is, after relieving the victim’s corpse of their wallet, phone and other valuables of naturally.

Spokane city is purple. There’s no industry here with products to sell to the Department of Domestic Terrorism though. I’m surprised central or eastern WA doesn’t (yet, AFAIK) have any concentration camps & related logistics companies. It’s interesting how much business MT got out of all this. They must be well-connected MAGA-wise.

shot a US citizen to death

The correct word, the one they’re avoiding here, is “murdered”.

You drive a hard bargain. OK if the 'Bans aren’t exactly new? Flexible on tiddie dimensions?

As much as I hate to allude to Rddt, r/QAnonCasualties is a great support forum for dealing with these kinds of people and with cutting them off when necessary.

Almost from the beginning, some transplant doctors had raised concerns that patients on Dr. Reddy’s tacrolimus were faring worse than those on other generics. The Cleveland Clinic was so alarmed that it banned Dr. Reddy’s generic for its transplant patients in 2013. Later, at the Tulane Transplant Institute, doctors found that patients taking generic tacrolimus by any drugmaker had a higher chance of organ rejection, and the hospital decided to use only the brand drug.

Holly knew none of this when she picked up her daughter’s tacrolimus at the local Kroger grocery store after Hannah’s discharge in the fall of 2019. (Kroger didn’t respond to requests for comment.) Unlike with Hannah’s medical care, where Holly could research and choose a doctor or hospital, the brand of generic tacrolimus Hannah received was out of her hands. She would get whichever one that pharmacy happened to have in stock.

Inova’s transplant team had typed, in the electronic prescription that it sent to Kroger, “do not dispense Dr. Reddy.” But that’s what Hannah received.

6502 assembly language

Z80 would be good too. The kids should be able to implement the instruction set on a breadboard by intuition alone. There’s something wrong with the teachers and Big School if the kids don’t have it running CP/M by the end of the school year, preferably with a working port of Hack.

IIII for four o’clock but IX for nine o’clock

Very interesting - I have a newer Timex with RN on my (left) wrist right now and never thought about alternate notations for the numbers. Turns out it uses “IIII” for 4 but “IX” for 9 rather than spelling it all out in additive form. The designers made a curious choice for people wearing the watch on their left - the 9 o’clock “IX” is upside down so that it reads “XI” from the point of view of the wearer rather than, thus it looks like 9 is 11.

We had to learn RN when I was a kid, and I assume that’s only because there were a few RN clocks remaining out in the world. I’ve never felt like I need to process the numerals on a clock anyway - once you know what position corresponds to what hour you’re good to go. Many clocks and watches don’t have numerals at all and that doesn’t impair most people from using them.
