The US charged (and Brazil arrested) a GRU spy a few weeks ago that was masquerading as a Brazilian grad-student in Washington, collecting intelligence prior to the invasion of Ukraine.

Biden could sign an executive order saying that peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are tasty, and they would be all over Fox News to scream and cry about how they were against it.

Maybe the mountain lion thought he was drowning and was just trying to save him

Bibi needs the military to buy into his shit in order to maintain power. If this is the start of a more general resistance against the ruling coalition by the military then his government is in serious trouble.

> What's next, depive people of contraceptive ads?

Yes. Banning contraceptives is the next target.

> Yeah, sure, maybe tens of thousands of women lost their liberty by being forced to carry unwanted children to term, had their health damaged by dangerous pregnancies, or lost their lives... But at least my taxes have gone down.

Ha! Now let's watch as those states start trampling the first amendment because potential humans are more important to them than actual living women.

TL;DR: Isla Bryson began transition after being arrested. There is a belief/fear among authorities that this person is attempting to enter into the women's prison system because they believe that it will be an easier term and so that they can victimize the women there.

In my own opinion they should go ahead and be incarcerated as a woman... as long as they continue the transition process. Because they will quickly discover that being a transwoman in a women's prison is no easier than going to a men's prison; and attempting to victimize the women there would be a fatal error.

👍 you're an awesome anonymous Internet person!

I feel like I need to carry just when crossing the street in the cross walk as a pedestrian. Some of these motherfuckers drive like they have a license to kill.

So... Yet another war crime. Add it to the pile.

I'm going to guess that he was a little too truthful in his reporting and the role that the Erdogan government had in the lax enforcement of building codes.

I work with a person from Turkey, and they mentioned that apparently their family in the country (who thankfully were safe) were completely unaware of the bribery that had led to the poor construction... Because the local news wasn't covering it.

And then there is the clause about respecting borders and sovereignty... Which is codewords for allowing them to invade Taiwan without interference.

And there is still a higher probability that you will die from primary amebic meningoencephalitis after swimming in fresh water.

It would also be a very public statement that nowhere is safe for people on Putin's "enemy's list".

No, no, no. Florida is beautiful... It's just all of the Floridians that fuck it up.

Statutory damage caps like that are questionable in their Constitutionality. Specifically in regards to the 1st amendment clause to a right to petition the government for a redress of grievances and the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment.

By saying that the value to a person's suffering at the hands of the state is capped at $65k a year, it is effectively absolving the state of responsibility for the long term physical or emotional damage caused to that person by their incarceration, the cost of their legal representation, and the cost of them reestablishing themselves in a society that has moved on without them. A responsibility that the state is solely and wholly at fault for.

Much like in the police, the bad apples in the municipal prosecutors office weed out the junior lawyers who want to seek justice... until you have nothing but teams of jaded "factory workers" trying to churn out as many guilty pleas in a day as they can get and punishing anybody who attempts to prove their own innocence.

Looks like he was fully exonerated instead of accepting an Alford Plea, and that leaves him open to sue the state for wrongful imprisonment. I hope he receives enough money to be set for the rest of his life.

And fuck those prosecutors who tried to keep him in prison, even after their witness recanted and an exculpatory witness confirmed his alibi. Prosecutors like that should be disbarred.

Not particularly surprising. They over hired during the pandemic because of the spike in online sales.

If NCR or Square announce layoffs, then I will become concerned.

You may know them by their alias, VenMo

They tried the Alex Jones Gambit, and lost.

...

I know he didn't invent doing this, but it is fun attributing this shitty tactic to such a shitty person.

The driving reason for banning TikTok is one of national security interest. States do not have a right to access the counterintelligence data that the FBI has collected which influenced their decision.

This is a click-bait nothingburger of a story.

There are tens of us... Even tens of tens of us.

It is kind of a dumb thing to brag about too, since Google has been using machine learning algorithms in their search for a few years now.
