Io non ci posso pensare a quel poveraccio che stava seduto dentro un bus a farsi i cazzi suoi, A LAVORARE, e si e trovato col cranio spaccato da un mattone lanciato da 3 che avrebbero dovuto restare in un fazzolettino.

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

felt very old talking to college students about the AWS outage, where i learned that basically everything — from your textbooks, to your class materials, to your professors' contact info and office hours — is housed on the cloud these days:

The AWS Outage Was a Nightmare for College Students

The outage impacted online learning platform Canvas, which is used by half of college students across the US, leaving many unable to access course materials or contact professors.

A reminder all: GO TO JURY DUTY WHEN YOU ARE SUMMONED

Yes it is disruptive of schedules but these days, juries need you

Wow. Sidney Reid, the DC woman just found not guilty of assaulting an FBI agent, issues a withering and gutsy statement on Trump through her attorneys.

"I feel sorry for the prosecutors really, who must be burdened by Trump's irrational and unfounded hatred for his fellow man."

It's a must-read:

De SGP vindt 'leven' alleen belangrijk als het nog ongeboren is en ze er geen verantwoordelijkheid voor hoeven te dragen. www.linda.nl/column/hassn...

'Wat krijg je als je 50 mannen en 0 vrouwen op een kieslijst zet? Het korte antwoord is de SGP'

De SGP zet vijftig mannen en geen enkele vrouw op de kieslijst. Een partij die over vrouwen praat, maar ze nooit aan tafel laat zitten.

WOW. A third of ICE recruits can’t pass a fitness test that I do multiple times a week, and I’m a 51 year old woke cat lady with a nose ring who loves a soy latte.

Lecturing active soldiers about being too fat while dropping standards so low for the ICE deportation force that a third of their recruits can't handle the easiest PT test I've ever heard of www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

More than a third have failed so far, four officials told me, impeding the agency’s plan to hire, train, and deploy 10,000 deportation officers by January. To pass, recruits must do 15 push-ups and 32 sit-ups, and run 1.5 miles in 14 minutes.
“It’s pathetic,” one career ICE official told me, adding that before now, a typical class of 40 recruits had only a couple of candidates fail, because the screening process was more rigorous.

Unconscionable. The state just told clergy it’s fine to protect abusers if they confess in the right room.

Children deserve safety, not religious loopholes.

Hemant Mehta @friendlyatheist.com · 10d

Washington officials caved.

Priests who hear confessions of child abuse no longer have to report them to law enforcement.

Religious leaders fought to protect predators over children—and they got what they wanted.

After settlement, Catholic priests in Washington can keep sex predators' confessions secret

Years of effort to safeguard children were undone by religious leaders who worship secrecy more than justice
