Is it just me who finds this pile on suspicious? A ratfucking op would want everyone to sign up (not saying the protest organisers are part of it.) Or is this just a Tuesday for you and we don't normally see it?

I read "send them back" as "return them." So, renting the sneakers. I'm probably misinterpreting.

It's not new. When blockading an airbase for CND in the '80s, we went floppy when arrested. I'm quite overweight. They put me down and arrested my friend instead. I paid his fine to make up for it.

Snap!

That would imply he actually started serving one.

Billionaires are bad. For reasons that should be well known by now. Even when they don't support autocracy, that concentration of wealth is not good. E.g. see using a private jet which is bad for the environment.

She's a billionaire who uses a private jet. She may write songs people like, but she's still a billionaire with a private jet.

Because they support him. They're not stupid or mistaken. They want this.

One of them's definitely Erie

To be allowed to say I don't mind seeing content from "rude" people, I had to do age verification in the UK. So congratulate me for joining the UK pervs list.

The Cable Car Museum has good exhibits and panels covering why public transport was built and then faded.

Also, ferry to Sausalito and a (pre-booked) tour to Muir Woods.

Oh, yes, I forgot about Imma. And of course, Inspector Montalbano.

We're British so, although we like BritBox and Acorn, we wanted a change from our "homegrown" stuff

Have you looked at the European series on MHz? Pops up loads of series outside the PBS mainstream. We like Chantal (Belgian) and The Cases of Inspector Vrenko (Slovenian)

“It seems this is a way to detain people, hold them in custody, instill fear and discourage people from exercising their first amendment rights,” DeBerry said.

Anti-SLAPP laws should be extended to cover arrests like these. The intent of the arrest is the same.

I think one of them lasted a hundred years

Disney doesn't rhyme with knee in our house

You may be the sort of centrist who the Democrat gerontocracy thinks is left wing 😉

Don't blink though

In the UK there's a convention that in the election to replace a murder victim, the candidate from the same party is unopposed by the major parties. It would also be gracious of the GOP to adopt this convention.

You do realize that at that time the Americans *were* the colonists? They weren't a pre-existing population being colonized by the British. They treated that pre-existing population very badly and tried to exterminate them.

I think we're going to disagree. Not about the quality of the journalism as that's going to be a matter of taste. I think the wrong side won when Bezos bought the Post. Even if there's good journalism, can we ignore the context of its production?

You're not the only one who thinks that, and I can understand it. I disagree however while still sympathetic to the reporters. If you were refusing to buy certain brands of cars (maybe Tesla), do you worry about folks in the production line? It should be the same reasoning.

This is why these people think LLMs make sense

‘They said it was impossible’: how medieval carpenters are rebuilding Notre Dame Project leaders at Guédelon Castle tell how their woodwork savoir faire is proving a godsend for mission to restore Paris cathedral roof

Did you know the Guédelon folks you mentioned at the end used their skills to help with the rebuilding of Notre Dame? www.theguardian.com/world/2022/a...

They are terrified of the party actually offering an alternative to the status quo

Sounds like the British Labour Party positioning as "competent" Conservatives after recent Tory insanity. Now these Dems are advocating they become "competent" Republicans
