Possible Eskimo brothers

That reminded me of a time our data warehouse broke when we had a person named Katherine apply for a job. In the Workday form entry she put a 😸 emoji.

I don’t know if it’s entirely unrelated. It shows he absolutely has no law enforcement training and is incapable of learning from his mistakes. Seems like he’s got an MO of trying to assault people in their cars.

“Recovering in the hospital”. What a fucking joke. Straight up 1984 telling you not to believe your lying eyes.

This is Trump’s response 🤮

“APSU did not follow the required termination process in this matter, and I deeply regret and apologize for the impact this has had on Professor Michael and on our campus community,” the university president said. “I am committed to ensuring that due process and fairness are upheld in all future actions.”

Kind of a hollow apology from the school president. “Sorry we didn’t follow the require termination process.” No apologies for trying to repress free speech. No apologies for over reacting when the professor posted a quote and nothing else. No apologies for trying to curry favor with an authoritarian regime by falling in line like a good little boy. Seriously, fuck that guy.

In a statement, a Hilton spokesperson said the brand’s hotels “serve as welcoming places for all” and that the hotel that canceled the reservations was independently owned and operated. The cancellations “are not reflective of Hilton values”, the spokesperson said.

I see the problem here. This particular hotel realized that being tolerant and welcome to all means that you have to not tolerate intolerance. Hilton corporate misunderstood this as the Paradox of Tolerance and wrongfully assumed they needed to tolerate these pieces of shit.

Had they understood that tolerance is a social contract and need not be applied to those who didn’t follow it, this whole mistake could have been avoided.

Growing up, my dad used to download a lot of games off BBSes for me and my brother. He would save them on 3.5 floppies and then label what game was on each one. I’ve got fond memories of flipping through his box of floppies seeing what new games he had for us to play.

a large is just Too Many Chips.

I’ve yet to encounter such a phenomenon.

Green said that her turn away from unrepentant Maga acolyte came in that moment and she abandoned her training “to never apologize and to never admit when you’re wrong”.

I’m sorry, are we all just glossing over the casual mention that there’s MAGA training to never apologize or admit you’re wrong? I assumed this was their unofficial playbook, but this is the first I’ve ever heard of an actual training being mentioned.

He talks about the reasons why people are doing this at 21:30 in the video.

Heads up he talks about this specifically at 26:30 for those who didn’t take the time to watch the video.

Poor guy. I would have warned him, but that was almost an hour ago and surely he’s already gone blind by now.

I used to sell TVs for Best Buy back in the day. The Video Department manager, my boss, set up a display side by side to show the difference between $40 Monster cables and the normal cables that came with a DVD player.

When there was no noticable difference, he went into the TV settings and adjusted the settings for the normal cables to make the picture look like shit. Not all customers are that gullible though, so usually one of the more savvy ones would fix the settings. So my boss would have to go in and fuck the settings up again once or twice a shift.

Can’t wait for the Supreme Court to decide in 10 years that releasing a document with ineffective redactions means the document was not technically redacted, so no laws were violated.

Someone else linked it below (https://ia802801.us.archive.org/15/items/insidececot/60minutesCECOTsegment.mp4).

It’s only a 15 minute watch, so worth checking out. The TLDW is that the US government is sending non-criminals seeking asylum to be tortured in El Salvador. 97% of people sent there have no criminal record. The people there were beaten, sexually assaulted, starved, denied access to medical care and clean water, forced to remain in stress positions, subject to bright light 24 hours a day, and/or thrown in pitch black isolation cells with no light.

Well that’s disturbing.

An acquittal is jury nullification. The jury decides “yeah, they probably did it, but this is some bullshit” and votes not guilty.
