Every headline about this guy just gets crazier and crazier

From his daughter about the incident, and how he drove home on the highway with a whale’s severed head bungee corded to their vans roof in 1994

“We all had plastic bags over our heads with mouth holes cut out, and people on the highway were giving us the finger, but that was just normal day-to-day stuff for us.”

Yeesh

I’m sorry

Khalid Sheikh Mohammad, known as KSM, is widely considered the architect of the attack, in which hijackers seized passenger planes and crashed them into the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon outside of Washington.

…

He was subjected to a number of “enhanced interrogation techniques”, including “waterboarding” - simulated drowning - at least 183 times before the practice was banned by the US government.

Yikes, but also, literally planned 9/11, but yikes.

If Kelly gets the VP, the democratic governor of Arizona gets to pick his replacement, it’s not a special election or a tossup!

Mark Kelly seems like the right pick to me, he’s got the overview effect and has unique experiences and leadership, already has experience in the Senate which is their main job, can probably take his swing state blue, and his seat can be easily replaced.

Shapiro is too pro-Netanyahu IMO, I’m neutral on Beshear, but his seat isn’t as easily replaceable, and losing a democratic governor would suck, and he might not take the state blue.

All good

She was a prosecutor before becoming an attorney general, then a senator, and then of course a VP.

While she has enforced the law as a prosecutor, as was her job, when it came to policy making she has been consistently progressive, and much more aligned with Bernie and the left than the center.

I don’t think this is well known, and some people think she’s just another centrist neo-liberal, but that is not the case when you look into what’s she’s done

When the headlines are about random maga types being quoted calling her “little whore” and n-words - it’s clear that yeah, the -isms are indeed out and about, the media is just reporting it.

The reality cannot be denied, they aren’t deep faking the clips.

The maga crowd dosnt counter her policies, her voting record, her career, her speech, her age, her cognitive function

They go after what she was born with and what that crowd has been indoctrinated to hate.

That’s where the ism’s come from.

I think he should be prosecuted for his crimes too, but look around, that’s not what’s happening.

If the government cannot provide justice, the people will in their own ways.

I fear the path we’re on as a nation and world, and i don’t see an offramp currently. I cope by preparing for instability, not by denying the current situation. We live in interesting times.

And yet my company is forcing me back into the office, I’ve been resisting for over a year, and now they’re threatening hr->path to firing for insubordination if I don’t come in… I’ve been working remotely effectively since March 2020.

Started sending out applications to actual remote jobs, it just sucks, it was a good gig while it lasted.

I too am thinking this, Biden has picked an amazingly effective team that is making big changes for the positive for the average person, and has made some key strategic victories despite the courts and Congress being so against him.

He’s old, he needs his nap time more often than a spry 35 year old, his speech difficulties suck - but the actions his administration makes are not ignorable to the rich, and so I think the rich attempt to make them ignorable to the masses with their control of capital

The USDA told Reuters that Mexican exports from the western state of Michoacán have not been blocked. Additionally, avocados and mangos already in transit wouldn’t be affected by the suspension of inspections, which would be paused “until further notice.”

So we’re saying “if you beat up our people, we’ll stop enforcing our policies and still do business with you”

Cool

I’ll make a point to not buy Mexican avocados and mangos until this is fully resolved because who knows what’s happening with them if the people who are charged with ensuring their safety get beaten up.

Some advice that has taken me over a decade to learn myself:

There are no rules, the titles are made up, the responsibilities and requirements do no matter.

Get what you can from your job, and once you get something do your Best even if that best sucks, and stay until you have gotten what you want out of the job, or realize you can’t or don’t want to do it anymore, and then start again doing something else.

Don’t ever limit yourself thinking you need to “level up” or something needs to get unlocked.

Learn by doing, try your best, you will make things that suck sometimes, but as you do more and more you should be making things better.
