That’s pretty much the ballgame, folks. Try to move somewhere where it’s always cold and in a decade or two you may still be alive.

‘Politically correct’ is what people used to say when they got called out for being awful human beings before ‘woke’ was invented.
I imagine they’ll have backtracked on this decision long before then.
I kind of assumed it was based on one of those ‘how they photograph food’ articles that pops up every so often with shaving cream instead of whip cream and motor oil instead of pancake syrup. Pretty sure I’ve seen one where they mix glue in the pizza cheese to make it more stringy.
Check out Strange New Worlds. It’s the trekkiest of all the new new treks.

There’s like three hundred million Americans, and I feel like nowhere near enough of them are passionate about how higher education and unpaid athletes performing for the commercial benefit of rich people should have absolutely nothing to do with each other.
According to who? Did the NTSB clear this? Are they even allowed to clear this? If this thing fucks up and kills somebody, will the judge let the driver off the hook 'cuz the manufacturer told them everything’s cool?
Before you criticize anybody, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, you’re a mile away and you have their shoes.
It has been six days, twenty-three hours, and fifteen minutes since out last major security breach.
I read that as ‘euthanized’ and I wasn’t even surprised.
Eminent domain the final mile and be done with it. These companies have no business holding our national infrastructure hostage.
Because that never happens? Stocks never move irrationally? Not ever? Certainly not all the time, right? Certainly not almost exclusively. Nah. Gotta be the people I started hating a couple years ago because the lunatic fringe’s propaganda outlets told me to. That makes a lot more sense. I am very smart.
Took the stock 3 days to recover from that dip and it’s now higher than it was before this story broke. Correlation is not causation.
Thanks for posting this. It’s a perfect illustration of the intellectual dishonesty Breitbart and other propaganda outlets use to radicalize morons.
Even though it explains that Isaac retracted his statement when he found out that that the thing they told him to be angry about was a lie (Biden didn’t declare today to be trans day of visibility, it’s just March 31st and March 31st is trans day of visibility, and sometimes Easter falls on the 31st), they still imply that Biden invented it and could (and should) have canceled it because it offends two billion Christians - implying that it’s normal and okay for Christians to be intolerant and hateful,
The article then ends with a complete pivot to complaining about a policy the White House has followed since the 70s discouraging overt religious symbology during the WH Easter event, strongly implying that this was also just now made up by the Biden admin, and also anti-Christian; A policy that was not even mentioned by Isaac in his original or followup tweets.
So thank you again, OP, for posting this. It’s a cautionary tale and a fine insight into the minds of the kind of people whose job it is to make sure Americans stay angry about non-issues so they won’t pay attention to the permanent grift that they’ve been the victim of for going on half a century now.
Wake me up when Vermin Supreme chooses his running mate. He’s got a better chance of winning than RFK the lesser
What kind of world do we live in when a fundamentalist authoritarian lunatic can’t even successfully crowdfund his human trafficking operation?
What does it mean when the highest court in your ostensible democracy is this obviously compromised?
I mean morally it’s obvious. Their judgements are invalid. Useless. Feel free to ignore anything they say if you can get away with it. But unless we’re down for anarchy, what means do we have to deal with this? Legally the president can pack the court. So long as he can get the senate to go along. But he doesn’t seem to want to, and there are no viable alternatives to the president we have. Not yet, anyway.
So here we are. A ‘democracy’ with a supreme court that’s openly compromised, if not outright corrupt. Nobody’s running on a ‘maybe the supreme court shouldn’t be filled with 18th century ideologues and grifters’ platform. Nobody’s talking about upside down flags and RVs on the major networks.
So what do?
