In the US the police have won multiple court cases (including cases heard by SCOTUS) that the police are under no obligation to protect members of the public except when the danger is created by the cops.

In my opinion depicting the cops as even kind of competent and interested in solving crimes is copaganda.

Still copaganda. He’s an “antihero” who is portrayed as getting the right answer the wrong way.

I remember a Fresh Air interview with a colonel from army intelligence who was very clear that torture didn’t work, forming a relationship involving mutual respect does.

Uh, I have some notes. First, lead is toxic-can it be a giant blender instead?

Okay, that was my only note, actually.

Close hexagonal packing. Rigid cylinders will approximate this as well.

Not a joke. I suspect the creation of pet rent contributed to the dilution of the concept of service animals (people insisting that Rex the psychotic chihuahua is an emotional support animal).

No, that’s frayed. Fraud is an amphibian known for hopping.

“The post I meant to reply to was the one that said ‘did you vote for this steaming turd of a bill, you feckless cunt?’”

For these purposes, men can also be referred to as “boys” /s

I heard a report on Democracy Now! from a Houston neurosurgeon who is in Gaza for Doctors Without Borders and it was horrifying. He treated a young man who was shot in the neck while waiting for food at an aid station, the man will be paralyzed for the rest of his life. One of this doctor’s colleagues is an orthopedic surgeon who has had to amputate arms and legs from kids who are 7-8 years old.

What Israel is doing is evil. There are far too many people who should be made to answer for that evil.

I would never wear booty shorts, except ones with that printed across the ass.

True that.

Don’t ask how I know but the one on the left is pretty insistent he’s a boy who just likes cute goth girl clothes.

“I was thinking about that phrase ‘free as the air’ and thought ‘what if it wasn’t?’”

That headline doesn’t narrow things down much.

That’s beyond sketchy. That’s like comparing regular unleaded to premium by fueling a Honda civic with regular and a Lamborghini with premium.

Alberta’s rep as the Texas of Canada seems more and more accurate every day.

Look up Jaime Loftus’ excellent podcast “My Year in MENSA” for an in-depth look at the organization.

Yeah, TERFs have been around since Rowling was a child.

I miss the old Onion where they had an occasional column written by “Christopher Walken” called “Walken in LA.”
