I approve of how this small business owner handled this. Of course, this wouldn’t work in all cases; in the case of multiple thieves, you’re putting your life at risk confronting them. But if you can do so reasonably safely, especially if you have backup… then the more of this that happens, the less of this will *need* to happen.
The fact that this idea is newsworthy is a stunning indictment of just how monumentally, sociopathically selfish and downright stupid so many people are.
A video that starts with something VP Harris said back in January, something that every American politician *should* not only say, but believe and work to protect:
“Each country has it’s own identity, it’s own culture, it’s own history, and that should be respected…”
Yup. And “every country” includes *this* country.
But bypassing that for the moment, she then goes on to… well, is “lie” too strong a word?
Kamala Harris says she “rarely, if ever” refers to Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador as the ‘Northern Triangle,’ out of respect for each country's "identity."
What does a black hole sound like? I suspect Lovecraft would have recognized it…
By amplifying, correcting and mixing with other data, the black hole sounds quite different. Here it is with alternative processing: https://t.co/NNC9l7B6TC
Filtering the sound and making some adjustment to speed makes it almost as there’s actually something speaking…although it’s a unrecognizable language 😳 pic.twitter.com/gwGLBW2WwI

In a now-deleted tweet, Russian diplomat Mikhail Ulyanov kinda lets the cat out of the bag regarding the Kremlins intentions towards the civilian population of Ukraine. In later tweets he claims he’s being taken out of context…. but the dude’s a PROFESSIONAL DIPLOMAT.
When a political actor who wants to hurt you SAYS they want to hurt you…. believe them when they blurt stuff out before they have a chance to really think over their wording.
This presentation is on the topic of “Rehumanizing Mathematics” by one Rochelle Gutiérrez. Right from the get-go you can tell it’s stupid… if there’s one thing mathematics is *not* it’s “humanized.” Math doesn’t care about your feelings. Nor your politics, religion, ethnicity, family history, gender or any other kind of identity. 1+1=2 no matter your beliefs on the matter. 1+1=2 even if you are *dead,* or you are a parrot, or a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri, or a godlike entity from beyond the Antares maelstrom. And yet…
1. How we think/talk about our work matters
• Diversity (attention to difference, also used when no difference, often ignores history, no attention to positionality)
• Equity (often highlights universal approaches, closing achievement gaps, leaky STEM pipelines)
• Inclusion (tolerate, allow, participate on own terms, focus on individuals, understand exclusion)
• Centering historically oppressed (place at the core, dedicate resources and energy there, requires political clarity)
Ummm… no.
If you ever wonder why our infrastructure is falling apart and we can’t seem to do Great Things anymore… well, here ya go.
If you *really* want to burn off some excess brain cells and don’t have the funds for a few gallons of white lightning, watching this video will probably help. It’s about an hour of the person responsible for the above presentation. I can’t *really* say what all’s in it, as I only got a few seconds in before my Brain Worms alarm went off: “I just want to start by acknowledging that as a white settler nation we are standing on stolen grounds…” Blah, blah, virtue signal blah. What do you want to bet she happily collects those white settler dollars?
Also: anyone else get a distinct AOC vibe from her voice? Yeah, that’s not a compliment.
And here’s an idea. if you believe that this is a “white settler nation” *and* that that’s a bad thing…
You want food deserts? because this is how you get food deserts. Every store in a ten block radius that sells food or medical supplies should shut down until 90% of the people on camera here are arrested, charged, convicted and sentenced to a term of at least several years… or are “otherwise dealt with.” It’s up to the community to police themselves now that the police have been defunded and the prosecutors are “progressive.”
If you act like you’re in the third world… you’ll end up getting treated like you’re in the third world.
Regardless of how the kid contracted the disease… A) it’s not the kids fault and B) kids tend to crawl all over each other. The more morons who couldn’t control their baser actions get the disease, the more likely they are to pass them on to kids, and then the more likely those kids are to pass them on to *other* kids. And soon enough… BAM, the schools shut down again.
One more reason for the barbarians in charge of China to whack all their pets. If I lose pets due to this nonsense, I’m at the very least going to join a class action suit against any organization that put on “Pride Month” events that spread this. My cats busting out on pustules because a bunch of perverts and weirdos could keep it in their pants for a few weeks would be the sort of thing that I would not forgive.
