99 years is the amount of prison time a doctor in Alabama will receive if they perform an abortion.
6 months is the amount of prison time you will receive if you rape an unconscious girl next to a dumpster.

Is it just me, or is anyone else a bit disappointed that the Bermuda Triangle isn’t nearly as mysterious or dangerous as we once imagined?
For decades, the Bermuda Triangle existed at the intersection of science fiction, folklore, and Cold War anxieties, making it feel far larger and more ominous than the actual stretch of ocean it covered.
Books and television from the 1950s through the 1970s portrayed it as evidence that the modern world still had uncharted spaces—places where technology could fail and the unknown could push back. This idea resonated psychologically, offering both awe and a subtle reassurance that not everything had been mapped or mastered.
When explanations finally emerged, they were far more mundane than the legends suggested. High shipping traffic made accidents statistically inevitable, the Gulf Stream could carry debris far from its origin, compass errors were exaggerated, and many famous disappearances either didn’t happen as reported or occurred outside the Triangle. The mystery didn’t vanish overnight but gradually unraveled as records were checked and myths compared to facts.
@RapidResponse47@VP Why didn't he just get out of the way instead of executing her?
That's all this boils down to. I don't care what happened in his past. I don't care what they were doing there. I don't care what she was doing there. He made a decision to pull that gun and shoot.
@RapidResponse47@VP Sane, rational Americans see JD Vance’s repulsive dishonesty for exactly what it is, and no one is buying it.
