And it's not just the south and blacks. Our history classes generally completely gloss over the countless Native American massacres we committed over a few centuries. Might have a paragraph or two on the Trail of Tears, but we'd been slaughtering and stealing from the natives for a few hundred year...

For example, how many of you are aware of the Wilmington, NC massacre? It was as large or larger than the Tulsa massacre. I believe it is the only successful armed coup in American history, yet few outside of NC have heard of it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilmington_massacre Heh, I literally ju...

I am…I still think it’s great. Yeah, I think its great. The CGI gets a little janky in spots, but I can look past that. Any of the gunner positions would be horrible…you’re just so exposed. Or the bombardier...sure, I sit here in a glass bubble, totally exposed, as I try to hit a railyard from 30,0...

Without using MAGA-brain logic, what difference does this make negatively for a criminal defendant? Like normally, let’s say the DA isn’t banging anyone, she’d appoint the best prosecutor, right? But if she just appointed the guy she’s raw-dogging, he would by logic NOT be the best prosecutor in th...

Counterpoint: if there was damage to a global cultural treasure such as the Great Wall or Angkor Wat or the Great Pyramid or the Sydney Opera House due to a disaster, rich people spending their money to repair it IS doing something that matters. Agree. Culture and arts and symbols matter, too. It’s...

It's almost like local politicians bringing politically motivated criminal charges is a bad idea.

Though none of today's theater has anything to do with the merits of the criminal charges.

I dunno. I love the Slovenia stripe, but the vertical stripes with it make me dizzy.

That's the thing. Fox and their ilk have successfully turned politics so partisan that a true follower believes 100% of the things their party leaders (or Tucker Carlson) believe. If they like Putin and Russia, then I like Putin and Russia! Or even worse, "if the [Dems/Liberals/Elite] hate Put...

Yes, the Offseason is over, Spring Training has begun.

(Ok, so this tweet doesn't actually have anything to do with spring training. And may have been posted before for all I know.)

Wasn't the ultimate result of the Muller report was that Putin tried to bribe Trump, but TFG was too fucking stupid to understand the deal? Both Mueller and the (then-Republican) Senate concluded that Trump welcomed and took advantage of Russian assistance. As Trump Jr famously tweeted out, when th...

Is that Rachel Dolezal? About two weeks ago I got a call from a manager; one of her employees asked if her Only Fans account violated the Firm's outside employment policy. I told the manager to go through all the videos to make sure there is nothing with Firm branding present in any of the content....

Okaloosa County is really backwards. My mother-in-law lives there. They’re not hiring the best candidates.

That's fantastic, Dave. Congratulations.

Sorry, bud. Make it a priority at your next job that they also include west coast business trips. That would be ideal. Glad I got a final trip in and one to Seattle right before I left. I appreciate all the support, but not down (yet). Actually a little excited about the postings I'm seeing, so may...

It’s not about faith, it’s a political play. I will say this, when I saw the ad live, I automatically looked for overt bigotry and was pleasantly surprised to see them including folks that are more obvious targets of Christian hate - minorities, immigrants, drug users, queers, etc. It was only afte...

One RMNP note is that the West side of the park (from Grand Lake to the top of Trail Ridge Road) imo is better than the East side. There are about 1/10 the visitors so it's much much quieter, and it's the only place I've ever been to where I've never *not* seen at least a couple moose (we've been u...

I just learned by listening to the Beatles channel that Admiral Halsey didn't in fact, "need a bath or he couldn't get to sleep" he needed a "berth or he couldn't get to sea". No fucking way. Way. Makes sense when you consider he's an Admiral. Well, yeah, but all that stuff abou...

I think a woman Republican president is a lot closer than some think. It'll be a Maggie Thatcher situation. A female Republican - unless she's a complete nutjob like Greene - will naturally appear "moderate", and voters like that. Plus, she'll get a lot of votes from conservatives for the ...

A while back, I had a disagreement with some folks about whether it was correct to accuse the Right of book burning where they burned some empty boxes as a stunt and they weren't actually burning books. Well, they're explicitly burning books now - and making it part of their campaign platform. https...

I actually do play songs in my head and try to pick out strumming patterns and whatnot. I also have trouble reading in bed because now that i have to wear readers, I get frustrated because I need more light than I used to as well, so If I read before bed it has to be in a chair with a good lamp.

But on the other, I suppose consolidating services will make it easier for people. Kinda like traditional cable packages. Yes!
