When I was 16, a deputy told my friend and me that he was going to have us raped in jail for the crime of sitting in a park after sundown. The desk sergeant refused to even take a complaint the next day. Don't tell me cops being unaccountable sadists is an invention of the Trump administration.

Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

12YO girl signed up to do “stand up comedy” at the talent show. 13YO boy decided to heckle her. Teacher started to tell the boy to leave her alone, but the 12YO comedian said “no, no, let him go, this is the closest he’s ever going to get to having a conversation with a girl.”
What's an insult you'll never forget?

So much fun playing with The RecRoom Ramblers at 503 Social Club last weekend. "Slip Away" is a David Bowie song from HEATHEN. Heard but unseen here are my fellow Ramblers: Ed Seifert (gtr, bvox), Glenn Mercer (perc, bvox), and Dave Weckerman (perc). #musicsky #musiciansky

The real lesson of Christmas is that if God had wanted to win over working-class Judeans, he should have sent down a less divisive Messiah.

The Turkey Pardon is stupid.
I don't think they'd get any more votes for this, but I'd vote for a candidate who promises to get rid of the stupid "turkey pardon."

This is completely disgusting. Today, the CDC updated their vaccine safety page. It now says:
“The claim "vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism”.

So much of "cancel culture" discourse is a re-description of the normal functioning of a democracy and public discourse by people who didn't like the results of one, or both, or how it made them feel.
Saying that someone doesn’t deserve to be a senator isn’t canceling them, that is the public opinion candidates are subject to in a democracy.

This explains how they hacked the shuffler. Definitely worth a watch if you are interested!
Today, the Justice Department charged NBA player Terry Rozier, Portland Trailblazers coach Chauncey Billups, and dozens of alleged Cosa Nostra mobsters using a version of the exact card shuffler hacking technique @agreenberg.bsky.social demonstrated in this video to rig poker games.
For the latest episode of Hacklab, we carried out one of the more fun and stressful hacking experiments of my career: We hacked a casino card shuffler to help me cheat in a game of poker against unsuspecting players in Vegas. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQ20...
