Cities can get really touchy about street paint because of all the safety regs. A local politician (obviously former) tried to make a point by repainting a crosswalk himself and had to pay tens of thousands reimbursing the city for scraping up his not-non-slip, non-reflectivity-range paint.

I’d say it’s poor Rohingya refugees who profit and Jack and Jill blacks and wealthy Nigerians who lose.

I find that it’s 90% invasive feral lettuces.

Should’ve tried a choke hold.

A lot of these align with a researcher talking about how gen-z college students, both in his research and classes, act like they’re in social media in real life. They’re insanely emotionally insecure and thin-skinned, given to superficial virtue over actual meaning (i.e., talking down to le tinks and only caring about…

She wasn’t actually fired for being white, she was fired for not firing a manager at a completely unrelated location... for being white. Of course, she probably wouldn’t have taken the fall for that if she likewise hadn’t been white.

It’s a Texan holiday. What’s the reverse version of a capetbagger? It’s that.

Official bags of the MBTA!

I think it’s more “I need a picture of myself, preferably one with natural light and shot with two hands.” Men know duckface and bathroom mirror selfies are a bad look, which leaves a three-year-old fishing photos.

There was some reporting when The Lion King was released that it did so well because it was the first foreign movie released in Chinese theaters (not the first released at all, so there seems to have been some other distribution channel), so are we sure Chinese audiences give a shit about the animated version of The…

Banning social media isn’t likely to help since kids will have access to their friends’ media use and will perhaps find ways to sneak or hide social media usage.

I think a big part is that the quality of journalism is very low, in both story selection and reporting, and the editorial slant doesn’t resemble the opinions of most blacks (take policing https:// news. gallup .com/poll/393119/americans-remain-steadfast-policing-reform-needs-2022.aspx), so the trend would be toward…

I wonder how much those were actually the case and how much they were sour grapes and excuses from losing candidates to try to salvage relevance. The math never seemed to make much sense to me for each when all was said and done, and they somewhat resemble all the excuses the Israeli left and center’s leadership came…

So you’re saying it’ll be a dark ride?

On the one hand, it’s particularly ridiculous because slavery didn’t depopulate Africa (similar to how history classes make it seem like Jews don’t exist between Jesus and Holocaust) and the European powers were pretty quick to declare their soil incompatible with non-freedom and ban slavery in the metropole (such…

He’s a diversity advocate

Unless he had an agave... farm? plantation? orchard? somewhere, no shit it was a gimmick product aimed at rap fans that they were planning to drop as soon as it or he got stale.

I think it’s generally just expected in the same way as dates in job history, both to show continuity of work and make it easier to verify if necessary.

For light, I decorated my daughter’s room with glow-in-the-dark stickers aggressively. There’s sea like on the baseboard, terrestrial life on the wall against the baseboard, stars and I’m thinking birds higher up on the wall, and I’m going to get a kit of glow-in-dark paint and accurate night sky star chart stencil…

There’s also inflation, which favors debt and punishes wealth, but that’s more gag logic than real policy analysis.
