Well, between this story and the bodegas story and the Rock Art story and the Supreme Court story, today is version # 17 of “people are the worst” day. Geez. Must bake now.  

For Fuck the Fucked’s Fucking Fuck sake fufuckingcking hell

I think this is exactly what’s happening to Tracy Morgan in the last pic.

Someone couldn’t find headsets for these celebrities to wear while taking calls?

How about this, they get FEMA $ if they give up their bullshit tax-exemption?

They already have special status. They also get “relief” in the form of all those taxes they don’t pay.

Their base is so good, but I wish they had some simpler flavors. My grocery store only carries the flavors that have ten pounds of chips/chunks/clusters/WTF in them. I just want ice cream, not ice cream holding together piles of sugary detritus.

Agreed. That trend is worrisome but what I found just as worrisome was that the criminally negligent water board knowingly switched to a water source that was known to contain higher concentrations of elements that would be corrosive to lead pipes even after GM told them that they won’t even use the water from the…

It has. That’s why in California you see BPA containers saying “known to cause birth defects.” It’s also worth noting that plastic is used a lot in coatings, especially for acidic food/liquid that could corrode the container.

One of my professors (environmental science) told me he would never, under any circumstances, drink a hot beverage from a styrofoam cup due to the leaching of styrenes. That had me shook.

“a G.E.D. is all you need to be a cop in most states, let that sink in.”

Smarter people question, and see nuance and “shades of grey” in situations. Dumber people see absolutes, black and white, right or wrong. Those in control want their enforcers, the police, to follow orders, to not ask too many questions.  

At least we've got Lake Michiga—
