Meta: The company whose products you use when you absolutely, positively, don't give a shit that they are the worst example of the worst nightmare of a consumer-hostile, privacy-invading, you-are-the-product, tech company. Yes, even worse than Microsoft.
Remember, this is the shit he's trying to pull while not in a position of power.
LOL, even "brain" would have worked better.
I just got it yesterday and I agree!
An officer then allegedly pulled a sealed emergency release button that shut the MRI machine down, deactivating it, evaporating thousands of liters of helium gas and damaging the machine in the process.
Everything was fine until dickless here shut off the containment grid.
Thanks, but the unfortunate problem I see among many of my white peers is that's a deep valley. You don't get to the other side of "they must have had a reason" without exposing yourself to multiple instances where they clearly had no such reason.
And it's not exactly something you can force on people. A couple people I know have started paying a bit more attention when cop videos float across their tiktok feed based on comments I've made, and they are coming around too, but folks need to want to see to the other side of that valley, and it's a very comfortable valley to live in - and more importantly you've always got a fresh batch of people moving into the valley.
“Oh, I can’t support those cruel acts, but the sad reality is they probably didn’t happen for no reason either” is the refrain of the embarrassed white moderate.
I'm ashamed to admit that specifically with regard to police brutality, I was in the "they must have had a reason" camp (without looking any further into it) for many more years than I had any excuse to be. Rodney King put a crack in that, but I was still pretty young then, and surrounded by my own privilege. It was many years later before I realized that sort of shit and worse was happening constantly.
I'm just barely old enough to for Jane Fonda having an opinion to be meaningful for me in any way, and I'm in my 50s. How on earth is she going to rally "disaffected young US voters" when most of them have likely never heard of her?
Missouri’s Republican attorney general, Andrew Bailey, has fought to allow the execution to proceed.
"The attorney general’s office, who had nothing to do with this whatsoever, are the ones who are trying to lead him to the death chamber. It’s pretty startling and extraordinary.”
I recognize that this is a horrible tragedy for this man and his family, and I hope there is somehow a last-second reprieve, but let this be yet another reminder - R is the party for those with no empathy, no compassion, no concern for anyone not like them. (and that includes the ones jumping from Trump's sinking ship to cozy up to Harris.) If a Republican is running for any position in your town, any at all, vote for someone else.
This video has been around since before the trial, tells you everything you needed to know about Rittenhouse's intentions. https://youtu.be/l3B_tpccOnw
