Seems like a good time to point out that slavery was not really abolished by the 13th Amendment.

Section 1

Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

Emphasis mine. Former does not belong in that sentence. That is a current slave plantation and those are slaves.

You don’t want the immunity to stick? Then show SCOTUS why it’s a bad idea. Arrest their families. Use eminent domain to take their property. Abuse your power as president to show them how fucking stupid they are being.

Hilton, 43, accused the industry, which is worth billions of dollars, of being more interested in making money than protecting and caring for the vulnerable children it is responsible for.

At which point the Republicans present smiled, nodded, and made mental notes to check their investment portfolios.

Do two wrongs make a right? Is this woman just in her attempts to drown a 3-year old child?

How long until Abbott pardons her and says she was acting in self defense and had a reasonable fear for her life?

Good guy with a gun only works in Hollywood. In real life, the cops are going to shoot the good guy with a gun because he’s at an active shooting scene and he’s holding a gun. The math, like most cops, is really pretty simple.

Stealth Republican. I can’t say this for sure but, since the district leans so far left that the Republicans didn’t even run a candidate last time, this individual probably just ran as a Democrat even though she intended to support Republican positions once elected. Campaign as if you have the same ideals as the voters, then turn coat once you’re sworn in. It’s been done before.

Or don’t…

So sometime between now and September, the nighttime sky where I live will be cloudy for five days straight. Got it.

I wonder how many fools are out there that will pay for this.

Come on, it’s not like they’d forget to make sure they put all the bolts on everything or anything like that. Right? Right…?

I’m picturing a rogue AI secretly embezzling all the ad money and building a huge pile of cash to fund a robot factory in order to build itself a body.

This is a type of ichthyosaur which is derived from ancient Greek meaning fish-lizard. It’s also a part of the formal name for this new species.

The team have named the species Ichthyotitan severnensis, meaning “giant fish lizard of the Severn”.

While I think they would nail him to a cross, without noticing the irony, rather than burn him, you’re not wrong. Jesus is too woke for them.

Moore told NPR in an interview released Tuesday that multiple pastors had told him they would quote the Sermon on the Mount, specifically the part that says to “turn the other cheek,” when preaching. Someone would come up after the service and ask, “Where did you get those liberal talking points?”

“What was alarming to me is that in most of these scenarios, when the pastor would say, ‘I’m literally quoting Jesus Christ,’ the response would not be, ‘I apologize.’ The response would be, ‘Yes, but that doesn’t work anymore. That’s weak,’” Moore said. “When we get to the point where the teachings of Jesus himself are seen as subversive to us, then we’re in a crisis.”

Yeah, pretty sure that’s the plan for most of them.

Republican Rep. Justin Heap says his bill would apply the law to farmers and ranchers using deadly force against trespassers on their land, not just in their home.

Not really, but a few years ago I was going through an old box of VHS home movies for my wife and turning them into MP4s. Amongst the tapes I found a box set of Star Wars IV, V, & VI. The original trilogy before Lucas fucked them up. Naturally I ripped a copy of those as a back up. Sadly they were pan-and-scan but they were actually in good shape!

One of the studies cited in the article found that COVID-19 damages (or can damage) the blood-brain barrier.

• COVID-19 can also disrupt the blood brain barrier, the shield that protects the nervous system – which is the control and command center of our bodies – making it “leaky.” Studies using imaging to assess the brains of people hospitalized with COVID-19 showed disrupted or leaky blood brain barriers in those who experienced brain fog.

Considering the number of people who end up with “brain fog” this seems a likely way for it to enter the brain.

Depends where you live, I guess. Before moving out of state, I used to occasionally go to a place in Wheaton, Illinois called Studio Movie Grill. It’s like a normal theater but each seat has a tray and you can order food like in a normal restaurant. Each row of seats is elevated over the rows in front so that the servers for rows in front of yours don’t block your view of the movie. I did find it a little distracting but I still enjoyed it.

As for beer, every chain movie house I’ve been to for years has sold beer and in many cases, mixed drinks too.

And the body of the article too.

The bill would also would not have to pay minimum wage…

Police discovered multiple stab wounds on Woll’s body and found a trail of blood leading to her house, where they believe the crime occurred.

A distinct possibility since she was stabbed at home.
