Ethically Mouthy

The subway on Halloween night is one of the greatest things about NYC.

Fun fact:
The little ceramic bit on the end of a spark plug will shatter auto glass if you throw it at ICE trucks.

Not enough, they’re not.

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

A tweet from Morgan J. Freeman states: “FACT: Venezuela is NOT a major producer of cocaine. They do not have large cocaine factories. They do not produce fentanyl either. What Venezuela does have is the world’s largest oil reserves.”

Fentanyl and coke are the new “weapons of mass destruction” lie. It’s Iraq all over again, folks. It’s always about controlling the oil.

Only the best people.

Break the law, face the consequences. That goes for ICE agents who commit illegal acts outside of their official functions.

Guillermo del Toro quote "...think about wealth for me for example. A wealthy man that has enough..."

"not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite somebody to beer..."

"...you're rich. If you have, whatever-"

"- yachts and planes and islands and you STILL need more? You're not rich."

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

It takes time to understand the gravity of the experiences.
Now, if an animal bleats/yelps in pain, I react like it’s my child. If an adult won’t apologize to a child, they are never to be trusted with anything.

You can’t understand a depth until you’ve taken the time to dig to it.

Man, farmers are -cooked-.

Post from Leeja Miller - YouTube Sometimes I remember this portrait of Kristi Noem from the 113th Congress and I go and I look at it just for fun. Anyway, new video drops tonight at 6pm CST!

“If I don’t, they fire me.”
(Which is, iirc, what the nazi’s said.)

People like to point to the milgram experiments and say people do as they’re told, but the truth is that MOST of the milgrams showed that ethics won.

I wonder what the milgrams would show now.
Perhaps a partisan divide?

Please post the best picture you have of Kamala Harris. #KamalaHarris 💙

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

Not to be that guy,
but wasn’t this MOST of our opinions of the Democrat party before Trump took over? I mean…I remember the Dem primaries being about a lot of people, mostly Pete, Elizabeth, and Bernie.
I don’t remember anyone really cheering on the OTHER old guy.

A cartoon illustration depicts a metaphorical political scene on a precarious wooden platform jutting over a cliff edge against a bright blue sky with fluffy white clouds. On the left side of the platform, a diverse group of silhouetted protesters in grayscale—men and women in business attire and casual clothes—stand closely together, some raising blank protest signs high above their heads, conveying unity and agitation. In the foreground among them, a young woman with long dark hair, wearing a red sweater and green pants, walks purposefully forward with a determined expression, her brown shoes visible. On the right side, elevated on a separate wooden podium atop the platform, a middle-aged man in a dark suit, white shirt, and tie stands confidently at a microphone, raising his right hand emphatically as if delivering a speech. The composition emphasizes contrast between the collective crowd on the brink and the isolated speaker, with the cliff drop below symbolizing risk, all rendered in a clean, illustrative style with bold outlines.

The power of the people is stronger than the people in power. #NoKings

“they may rely on lexical associations and statistical priors rather than contextual reasoning or normative criteria. We term this divergence epistemia: the illusion of knowledge emerging when surface plausibility replaces verification.”

That’s…everyone I’ve ever met in IT.

It will never not be crazy stupid & dysfunctional to me that the government of the United States of America is shut down just to keep its president from being exposed as a serial child sexual abuser.

It’s true…grocery stores usually have a “profit” of razor thin margins (though I’m sure it varies by location and products).

What also helps: Hire baggers. The cashiers usually move faster than the customers.

Right? I want one in my house.

“You’re okay. The bills are covered.
You’re not late for anything.
We don’t expect company.
We have tea and clean dishes.
The dog is happy.

You can read a book or watch TV if you want.”

Please clarify this hot mess, it scarcely qualifies as “information”:

What quantity is “a years supply”?
What quantity is bought with “the average annual cost”?
California will sell what quantity for $11?

Why Are These Positions Open?

Before you do your own research, research how to do research.

Dear interviewers:

Don’t ask about current events, just quiz him. If he doesn’t know what habeas corpus is, he probably doesn’t know what the emancipation proclamation is, or eminent domain, or “who upholds the constitution?”

Erm…what IS mike’s position on that, anyway? (Like…what WOULD he have said?..cause he -was- cut off a lot.)
