I hate so much how the journalism industry determines professionalism as the ability for a journalist to be unaffected and removed from the things their subjects state.
So my son & I were discussing American society & its various inequalities and he said "I think we should organize things so it's more like Mario Kart" – where the further back you are the better your chances of getting the really good power-ups, and I think that's kind of genius.
I mean, why not take it all the way: “if I were a molecule of potassium, would I rather be a part of a human cell, or a grain of road salt?”. Atomic rights!
The reversal of Roe will be recorded in the history books in the same nauseous tones as decisions like Dred Scott, Korematsu, Plessy, and Buck.
This is an institution that has legitimized slavery, concentration camps, and eugenics.
This decision is the same.
@usmanpirzada@bob_zim@SwiftOnSecurity Sure, but if the universe *wasn't* discontinuous at small scales, it would collapse into a heap of ultraviolet catastrophes and Cantoresque paradoxes... I would argue this must be true for *any* conceivable universe.
There is such a thing as being Too Real.
@danthat Two things that stuck with me about the movie:
1: the whole plot felt like something built over a tracing of the Detective Pikachu storyboard.
2: Jim Carrey was having a ton of fun here, and it showed. I would watch a Sonic 2 just to see what happens when he goes full Eggman.
@starkmojo Way back when I was a budding juvenile delinquent we'd squirt salt water into vending machines. They'd short out & dump the contents of their change box, and possibly some of the vendables as well.
(That no longer works on most recent models & is also crime, so, uh, don't.)
@starkmojo@SarahTaber_bww You need salt water, not just salt... The salt alone would probably be hell to clean up, but a good mix of salt, water & surfactant is going to corrode metal, eat through rubber seals, and short-circuit anything electrical it can reach.
Election day is coming up and I’m planning to vote #YesOn2, but I’m also a politics nerd and a history nerd, so I wanted to know more about what Minneapolis voters were thinking in 1961 when they added the police charter provisions that are now up for a vote to change. 1/
