Ouch.

But, given that this was a politician killed due to deliberate actions of another person (going from the northbound to southbound lanes) is this going to be investigated as an assassination attempt or attempted insurrection? Only half joking, because if it was a (D)ifferent party, I'm willing to bet at least some people would be calling for that.

Man, this lady really sums up being a Presstitute doesn't she? Press Secretary for JEB!, press secretary for George W, citing Palin's calling out the press some as one of the reasons to not vote for the guy she campaigned for, working on the View, hosting her own show on MSNBC?

Yeah, aren't nearly all commercially sold bananas one highly vulnerable subspecies (for lack of a better word) that is already scarily vulnerable to diseases?

Man, how much winning can be contained in one article.

Now, I know there's people who rely on this and it obviously sucks for them, but overall:

1. Biden admin demonstrates clearly that trannies outrank poor people on the hierarchy

2. Another blatant case of bureaucratic overreach which should get slapped hard by the courts especially on the heels of West Virginia vs EPA

3. Further weakens the position of public indoctrination centers, I mean schools, if it does go through.

"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them.

Matthew 7:15-20

Consumers limit spending on videogames in response to inflation

Yeah, I'm sure that's responsible for a 28% drop in sales. Not, you know, increasingly woke and crappy games.

I'm just wondering how they got that many people to show up for a women's soccer game period.

here is the ADL's list of 450 "political murders" if anyone is interested in it, but as expected it is useless.

It only lists 2021 incidents (so, sadly, can't go back and see if all the BLM and CHAZ deaths are included in the total - I highly doubt it), but quite a few of their "political murders" are just absurd. There's literally one case where a guy strangled his wife and it's on the list because the guy "has a white supremacist past". And another guy who drove his kids to Mexico and murdered them because he was an insane conspiracy theorist who thought "his wife had passed on 'serpent DNA' to their children, who would grow up to be monsters." But since he listed to QAnon stuff, it was an evil right wing murder event.

If you think all Apple's done morally is banning Gab, you're an just not paying attention. If you think Apple is less Woke than any other tech company, you're just an idiot - who created the pregnant man emoji again? And Apple's killed a bunch of people with their virtually slave-labor manufacturing conditions in China not to mention the mining for the components in their overpriced, underpowered devices. And Apple's been working for decades to cut consumer rights, both with devices with no user-serviceable parts and suing non Apple certified repair shops and being arguably the main force leading from the switch of open environments to walled garden.

Heck, even within your own warped worldview, they've been pulling and/or censoring content they've deemed offensive to women since at least 2009, using a ludicrously crazy criteria - for example, in 2010, they decided to censor Moby Dick because they declared sperm to be a verboten word.

Google is the only one of those they have any decent investment in, and I don't imagine that was deliberate - it's much more likely that they just invested heaivly in IT as a sector given that 12 of the top 50 holdings by value are IT stocks. For the rest:

C - 0.24% of the investment DIS - 0.56% GILD - <0.19% (not searching beyond the top 100 holdings for it) MRNA - <0.19% (not searching beyond the top 100 holdings for it) PG - 0.84%

Wow, a pension fund with holdings in 2436 stocks has small holdings in half a dozen big name companies? I'm shocked, shocked I say!

it owns millions of shares in all of them...Is he going to mass sell these and crash the prices of these organizations?

First off, I'm absolutely certain a state governor deliberately OK's the buying and selling of each item in the pension fund, right? Second, you do know that (with the exception of Moderna which is about half a billion) that all of the companies you listed have billions of outstanding public shares? Even if Florida dumped 100% of their investment in each of these companies tomorrow it would barely be a blip on the radar of any of them.

Would it be a nice thing to happen? Sure. Would it have any substantial impact? No.

(and, PS, their largest holding - Apple - is a morally worse organization than any of the ones you listed, except for maybe Google).

whiny bird woman: you don't have to be gay to get monkey pox

Also whiny bird woman, 10 seconds later

Do you think this has been a lower priority because it primarily impacts gay men?

Just absurd.

Vodka is permitted, but only if you manage squat properly. Remember, heels touch ground when slavs squat around.

So, Biden's offering to give Bout to Putin so that Putin will keep Griner there? Sounds like a decent opening offer to me.

Yous right clever fer a humie! Football Ooligans is da bestest humies dere is, cause dey try ta act like us Orks! Course, all humies is worse den even da runtiest Ork, but Football Ooligans is at least tryin be better!

(For those not knowing, part of Games Workshop's Warhammer Ork design was 1980s British soccer hooligans)

She added: “I tried to find him and he surfaced very easily, and to make a long story short, we ended up in rocking chairs sitting by a creek together. And I said, ‘I’m very interested in hearing the story you’ve carried all these years.’ And we had a restorative-justice conversation about that.

If he was that easy to find, should have been simple for the cops to find him. Or, wait, was this yet another "regret, not actually rape" scenario, and thus not worth reporting to the cops?

Gha. If there's any site you should archive, it's Kotaku.

Are there any right-wing politicians talking about Christian Nationalism? The only time I hear the term is left-wing nutters talking about how people want to turn the US into a Christian theocracy.

Problem is that we've never been able to make an actual vaccine against a coronavirus. Don't see us suddenly being able to figure it out now

I highly recommend anyone who hasn't seen it watch Empire of Dust.

I'm just confused as to why reporting to someone's parents that a student is looking at self-harm is a bad thing.

From what I heard (haven't watched it myself), Gamergate wasn't brought up but BLM and Jan 6th were both mentioned as preludes to Star Trek's WW3.

Everything seems to suggest she'll lose the primary (August 16th) but we'll see what happens.

Crazy bit is that there are rumors that she's aiming for a 2024 presidential run.

And when they declare bananas a hate fruit, we'll have to transition to discussing increasing numbers of small off-duty Czechoslovakian traffic wardens.

Good, but he should have retired decades ago. Dude has been in his current job my entire life - literally
