Him being bigoted is the least shocking thing of the year.

My sympathies go to you for your loss, especially as a former drug user who also lost friends. Thanks for being willing to share your experience.

Yes, because almost every industry has been affected for years now. I just explained that.

It’s not suspicious, it was expected and warned about for decades. The cholera outbreak is a third larger than previous outbreaks, that easily explains the issue there.

Diseases were a known growing issue thanks to the warming of the planet, the resulting displacement of various animals and thawing/changing environments, leading to new infectious crossovers, which means more hosts and more chances for mutations, which means an increase in the number of endemic and pandemic issues. When that happens and effects the human population supply chains are disrupted, which can delay regular supplies for years beyond the end of the biological issue. With something as big as Covid we lost and will lose in future endemic and pandemic events a ton of experts and critical workers, and traditional forms of funding as those responsible for that work die or become severely ill.

China’s lockdowns are just starting to be eased, their economy has finally been taking a hit this year as production reduced, which disrupts everyone as China is a global primary manufacturer. We will see disruptions from that for a long time.

A pandemic or any globally impacting event being “over” in how it affects you personally doesn’t mean it’s over for everyone else and other underlying markets that service the global marketplace. Same with the environmental damage that’s been done so far, just somehow going neutral on the damage we deal out wouldn’t fix the runaway snowball problems we’ve already started.

Oh how times have changed, that party has been taken over by the far right and the top leaders now reject the positive messaging and active acceptance of lgbtq, among other groups. As many of us warned, the libertarian party has always been Hate LITE. Now it’s just open about it.

> The Libertarian Party (LP) faces the departures of two state-level parties as membership dues drop and some donors flee the party over questions about economic stewardship and the party’s turn to far-right messaging, Hatewatch has found through documents and interviews with former LP members.

> The departures came after the Mises Caucus, a group that espouses far-right rhetoric, won near-total control of the party at the LP national convention in Reno, Nevada, in May. Since then, the party has tweeted messaging that aligns with the hard right, including anti-LGBT and pro-secession posts. Prominent Mises Caucus members and state parties have posted in favor of repealing the Civil Rights Act, the 19th Amendment, which enfranchised women, and more. Hatewatch obtained a copy of the Mises Caucus’ “Reno Strategic Action Plan,” which details a plan to win control of the Libertarian National Committee and change planks of the Libertarian Platform to align with their views

And adjacent groups and figureheads, like libertarians, Musk, conservative news outlets, evangelical Christians, etc

It’s likely a watershed of biological changes that start with the small parasites and some toxins they release block expression in some protein folding that radically changes behavior much like changes in our gut simply because we are lacking food or some other necessary elements triggers a behavioral response that we experience as hunger and even aggression (hangry).

Good luck getting vaccine mandates in Wyoming, Montana or Idaho. They don’t even sell wolf masks there.

What are you talking about, that’s what kids are for

Fines, hell, I just wish they weren't rewarded by escaping consequences and having reduced fines for appeal after appeal

Fun fact - there were women who could vote before women's suffrage and the 19th was passed, but they were granted that ability from inheriting large estates and sociatal standings, and those women almost never wanted women in general to get the right to vote because they feared changing society would cause them to lose their standing in society and their comforts at home. Women like that were also largely responsible for fighting against women's suffrage, just as there are minorities and women today voting with conservatives against their own interests.

They fired someone, that's good. I'm tired of organizations like police and political parties that do nothing when their members blatantly commit horrific crimes and/or abuses.

Congratulations, please accept your winnings at your nearest county jail processing facility

The fact that they know there's a camera and will be evidence is the most telling thing to me - they know it won't matter.

Which begs the question, does it taste good?

You’re free to call flex cuff guy and zip tie guy whatever you want, I’m not stopping you. Enjoy your day.

Yes. That has been discussed. Read the article, this is about the other guy who carried flex cuffs and said he found them.

> According to prosecutors, Brock walked around the Senate chamber for eight minutes on January 6, rifling through senators’ desks while wearing a helmet, tactical vest and carrying plastic flex-cuffs he found in the Rotunda that day.

Yes. We went over that. There’s two guys that were famously running around with ties and photographed doing so - zip tie guy and this guy who said he found flex cuffs in the capitol. This is that last guy.

Zip tie guy is a different guy with implementations meant to kidnap and or kill members of the government during a coup. This guy is the one who said he “found” the flex cuffs. Hence, flex-cuff guy. It gets difficult to keep all those traitors straight considering there were so many.

It’s flex-cuffs guy, good, can’t wait to see his sentencing in February.

Passengers will be assigned to one of 500 phone booths in which they’ll remain crammed throughout the flight

Another conservative religious extremist, of course.

Musk is the same narcissistic sociopathic fat cat all the political cartoons depicted throughout history, always has been. At least he told everyone instead of trying to continue pretending he’s a liberal progressive.

> The man, whose identity was not immediately released, was questioned by law enforcement and told agents he had been bullied in the past and harbored anger toward Jewish people, the official said.

Which state is Kanye in currently?

Hey I’m Chris Pratt. I like spaghetti.
