I have homeless in my hometown, and this isn’t the first time an idiot has tried to “solve” homelessness by making it illegal. It hasn’t worked in the past, and they’ll be back when the current idiot I’d dead and gone. Just like last time.

Is shocked pikachu overused yet? Is there something new, or more apt?

We were going to take our niece up there this weekend. Not anymore. Headed to Philly.

Because, for the most part, the US doesn’t “govern” anymore. For at least one party, it’s all about winning and dunking on their enemies. On the other hand, their enemy’s entire platform is, “we’re not crazy like them, but we’re also happy to be conservative enough to keep trying to court votes we’ll never get.”

The plot on this particular issue was lost when so many elected representatives, from both parties, went on TV and said “infrastructure isn’t sexy” with straight faces. It’s their fucking job. It’s not supposed to be sexy.

Is the silent “h” necessary in the phonetic pronunciation of Poo-tin’s name?

SCOTUS is readying its cape…

Deserves a peace prize because:

A: That one black guy got one

B: He will have ended a war by giving the aggressor what they’ve already taken (plus a little more, if I’m not mistaken) while stripping an ally of most of their country’s natural resources. But, peace!

I just think it’s sad that the country needs a “Bad Guy” for the government to think about driving serious innovation that doesn’t just benefit the military (see: DARPA &, to a lesser extent, the Interstate Highway System).

Oh, and “is it debated?” Among rational adults, not at all.

I have a feeling home solar is big for the obvious reason: lower power bills. Depending on needs and future residence plans, they pay themselves off in somewhere between 12-20 years. What they tend not to like is government investment in research and municipal projects to build out green energy in the grid. That’s communism!

Plus, (human-caused) climate change denial is certainly back on the rise. It’s more than talking points with many of the right wing politicians. It’s funny. I remember when global warming “wasn’t a thing.” Then, after it was changed to “climate change,” they kept banging on about the global warming hoax with BS like snowballs on the Senate floor. Then they came around to, “OK, climate change is real, but it’s cyclical. This isn’t caused by us!” They keep tiptoeing to the left on this, and recently, they’ve regressed back to “clean coal,” and “drill baby drill!”

Even if the voters know it’s bullshit, and believe climate change is man made and a real problem, it isn’t affecting their voting, so what they actually think doesn’t really matter. At least not until they force their party to get its head out of its ass.

In the useless hope that it will convince people who otherwise don’t care about “green energy” that it’s something they should care about. If it ever worked in the past, the effect was minimal at best. As evidenced by the fact that its need is still “hotly debated” in this backwater shithole of a country.

Germany at least recognizes a holocaust when it sees one, however underwhelming the response may be.

Here’s to hoping all those farmers who rely on this data get the (at least) next 4-years they voted for!

¿Por qué no los dos?

Unfortunately a lot of stores in my area have either done away with traditional checkout in favor of self-checkout, or they only ever have 1 or 2 registers open. So either way, we get long lines. And they wonder why we buy so much online!

Completely agree. He’s wanted Gaza and the West Bank since day 1.

BREAK OUT THAT SHARPIE MOTHERFUCKER!

They can. Once.

To a point, yes. While you’re still using air to cool the water, I think it’s still a little more efficient than blindly keeping the server room at a low-ish temperature.

There are a lot of things that should’ve happened. I was comment on what did happen.
