No!! I found her so charming (but I see why she would be annoying to some).  I wish I didn’t know this.  Seems like she is still supporting the cult.  :(

Definitely sits at the apex of is prison time for punishment, reform, or to keep a dangerous person away from innocent people?

I feel like you are actually more likely to get a consequence for reckless driving than actually causing an accident. I see all the time articles about a truck running over a pedestrian or a biker making a right turn in my city and never at ticket issued.  Must be an act of god or something...

I know! I don’t get it. One time I got punched in the face by an insane woman who lived in my building. I probably had 150 lbs on this woman, so props to her, and wasn’t worried for my safety in the moment. But everyone in the building was having problems with her and things were started to escalate. I figured if…

I saw some quote that was like “behind every “bad cop” is a partner who didn’t speak up, an internal investigation team who didn’t investigate, a chief or buried the report, a DA who refused to press charges, a mayor who didn’t release the video”... etc. Where are the “good cops” we’ve been talking about?

The mentioning the PhD thing kills me every time I see her show up on something. Most recent I remember was a rewatch of the LEGO Masters show.

Thanks for this list!  (Editing comment... as my silly mind couldn’t tell the the difference in letters between Authoritarian and Authoritative.)

Please get some wind covers for your microphone! I’m sure this is on a phone or something, but this didn’t seem spontaneous so wish you had brought some kind of mic. The outdoor content is always so interesting, but barely watchable because of the wind noises ripping my eardrums out! Amazing van.

This shit is bonkers. And so crazy to me that racism like this can survive serving alongside black people, probably in the same shitty bunk on the same shitty ship.

I agree. I’ve been looking through “upstander” training materials recently and never did they say “get in someone’s face once the immediate situation is over”.

Yes! I actually hang my comforter on my door to let the bed air out and the comforter. Though sometimes I feel like this makes my fitted sheet dusty.

I feel so seen!! Thank you!  And I think its a bummer because that would be a very silly thing that I would enjoy knowing.

But if you look at all of the countries with good rail systems (France, Germany, China, Japan) the government either still owns all the infrastructure or built out the infrastructure and then started to privatize parts of the system once the successful system was up and running.

Exactly! The injustice of innocent people being locked up is just 1/2 of the coin. It also means the real criminal got away with something this whole time, and for all we know, killed other people.

I know a pod sitter is a babysitter who only interacts with one family covid pod (a group of families who have decided to only see each other and no one else because of COVID, so they quarantine together if one gets exposed, don’t send their kids to other kids’ houses outside the pod, etc.).

Is there a source for the penguin pee? I couldn’t find anything but anecdotes quoting each other. It would be an amazing fact... I’m just not sure if it is. I also didn’t think birds peed, it was a combo kinda thing.

Not only that, I found out during a recent discussion that it is actually ABRIDGED, but audible says it is a full version.  I was discussing the book with someone and they referenced something I said wasn’t in the book... and I was the a$$ because the audio book actually was missing that part.

Oh no! We live in Manhattan and my 6-year-old kid is obsessed with Broadway and with Frozen. We saw it in January as a Christmas present. I think they will legit cry when they find this out.

Yeah this is crazy. If what he is doing is “ok”, then when the driver shared the video the HOA guy should be happy that it got shared.

I’m a person who isn’t in to cars, but loves y’all and this site.  I remember seeing this is Italy in 2000 and loving it.  It stuck with me for so long.  So... maybe trash, but I love it.
