Dark mode is not enough!
We demand COLD DARK mode!!

I was surprised by it as well. I do live in Alabama where you’d initially think “assbackwards bumpkin” until you met UAB and their ilk..
I’m suspecting that there were some donor and recipient considerations that unsealed the not-deal for this case. Googling says it’s on the increase, overall tho.

The best most generous take on their flaky study was the peak at 2.5 cups and reduced efficacy on increased consumption.
As such, continue to follow the truism "If you meet the Buddha on the road, kill him" and “the coffee that can be drank is not the true coffee”.

Not apropos to the Jobs fest here, but the latest info (which comes due to my nephew’s death a couple months back) is that partial liver donor procedures are not allowed. The risks are insane for the donor and there’s a hippo crate to be considered such that it basically doesn’t exist any more.

Praying that your temperatures change into Celsius

Works best as not-a-metaphor 😀 getting dirty with a hoe **is** healthy

On the flip side, simplistic claims for you to dig and tend a home garden, they’re absolutely beyond true.

Great pictures, even if the dumb eagle was doing some angry-posing mugshot routine!!!

A canister is the vast majority of the picture. This canister happens to be “Eterni-Trees” whose motto is “heal your heart ♾️ heal the planet” because it’s that thing where you can plant someone’s ashes and grow a tree. Atop the canister is the goodwill price tag (orange) showing a price of $4.99

Don’t count out the local Goodwill !!!

Please tell the state’s epidemiologist that your reporting will highlight her ineptitude at ‘counting’. Numbers should happen!
“”Some have developed an inflammatory brain condition known as encephalitis…
It’s unknown how many children have encephalitis, but Dr. Linda Bell told reporters that…””

Beep!@!

I mean they’re not soaring eagles, but they’ll fly up to the top of the barn and then off into the woods if they care to. We were the ones lying to *them* telling them “oooh the coyotes will eat you” and “bah there’s nothing to eat out there in the forest”. Ijjits believed us.

The picture is of Kirill Tereshin (from Russia) who inflates his biceps so that he can get yahoo to write idiot articles about him. His bicep is rather huge and should be looked at by a doctor who is not giving out abandoned shingles shots.

Shhhh. They let me have all the abandoned second shots.

Properly pronounced skwee rhiht

Well, you can’t /**hurt**/ the ticket sales!

One thing I’d love is to have both senators in a state face election at the same time, ranked voting style where the top two vote getters are seated. You’d almost always get a majority senator for the state and the second vote getter would be the minority party or a serious centrist.

Part and parcel of the presidential branch for a country. It’s very two-party. And yes the not-right party wants to encourage lefties to abandon their stances as “unelectable” because they’re toooo lefty. The right may be doing the same for “toooo center-y”

We **missed out** of the evolutionary possibility!
Imagine the gluttony of eating, sleeping through the nasty cold, and waking up thin for a nice spring romp!!

I’d suggest, though, the window itself is a product of WE THE PEOPLE ARE GREEDY ASSHOLES AND ARE STUPID AND ARE HATEFUL in too large a percentage for our own health.
Parties don’t define the population, they pander to it. When we want better, we will get better.

The dems wanting to be center, which they think “wins”, do their best to follow that window and never want it to drag back left.
This is the redstate dem, some other dems, and often the national dem.

Never understood the Gaza shit. Bothsides that as you wish. Maybe some deep military world-burning problem that is a bit classified or something.
Don’t think the BLM protests gonna be quite as bothsidesy tho.

So, overall, I blame we the people.
If Alabama blue party is more stinky than an Oregon red, I see the people at fault, driving the stupids in the party with their godgivennatural stupids.
Perhaps we are a bad population and if you add a nasty Overton window you get .. {waves arms 360° in despair}

But, there is a difference, still, as long as one side works for peaceful outcomes to citizen protest, tho only sometimes 😔 , and the other works to vilify any protest and generate blood in the streets. There’s a vast mix, tho. I mean my Alabama blues are worse than many California reds…

And yes, neither party is smart enough to get votes without MOAR MOAR MOAR cops being promised. I can hate this with you also.

Yes, neither party is smart enough to say:
America is 13% born-elsewhere. The USA will succeed between 12-16% - and to do so, we need immigration that is equal to 12-16% of our death rate, or 12-16% of our birth rate, whichever you prefer to count. Nobody forced to leave while we meet these goals.

I’ve presumed it to be my fellow USAniacs feeling anxious to park in the open spot quickly.

Nobody will patiently wait for you to take the spot they want while you back in.

They will wait for you to give them the spot being much kinder to all the gobs of time you take scooting out bassackwards.

I think part of the disagreement may have turned the corner, and, yes, both parties have been gorged on Citizens United oligarchy towards some authoritarian goals.

Fascism, not so bothsides. Not yet.

The bothsiding happens like this.
“Yah, here’s some fascism.” Shoves it down your throat. “Better watch out for those socialists over there, the fascist way they give fire marshals the ability to keep shirtwaist factories from locking fire escapes is RIDICULOUS!”

Alabama always the vanguard for authoritarian malicious laws: https://www.wkrg.com/alabama-news/bill-regulates-wearing-a-mask-while-protesting-in-alabama/

If you’re speaking of the entire history of Alabama politics yup always and forever. But those two toadies? They are toddlers compared to the real demons in bama history.

I’d’ve never guessed that the entire country would so quickly aspire to have Alabama government uber alles. But it done did.
