“an airplane hasn’t crashed YET as a result of a laser pointer blinding the pilot, just NEARLY crashed, so it’s actually not dangerous to shine lasers at airplanes and all global aviation authorities are overreacting cowards” is real logic I’ve seen from alleged adults on here

Pilot blindly lands plane after eyes are damaged by laser aimed into cockpit, feds say

“You almost killed this man,” a Washington judge told the man accused of pointing the laser.

Bret Deveraux has a (largely correct) recurring point about how the only thing humans fear more than death is shame and this motivates a lot of pro-social behavior and the increasing shamelessness across human society is kind of a massive problem for that

The difference bet the way the press handled Biden’s vs Trump’s health issues, as well as the standard to which they hold his conduct is one of the greatest scandals in the history of journalism.

Their conduct, and the knowledge they’ve done tremendous damage to their profession, should shame them.

Rapid Reaction: Byron Murphy II, Seahawks Eek Out 20-12 Road Win in Jacksonville — Emerald City Spectrum

In an otherwise sleep-inducing punt fest, the Seahawks received just enough explosives from Sam Darnold and the offense coupled with a feisty pass rush to fend off the Jaguars for a satisfying eight-point road victory.

A reminder that the Constitution was written on the foundational premise that it would be implemented by a political class that was, to a fault, violently protective of their own individual standing and power. The idea that congressmen would surrender their power to the president was unthinkable.

debnicktom.bsky.social @debnicktom.bsky.social · 3d

A reminder that the beloved American Constitution is absolute shite or this wouldn't be possible. Ditto the revered 'Founding Fathers' who wrote such a flawed and dangerous document, just hopeless twats.

Peggy Stuart @peggystuart.bsky.social · 3d

Reminder that this baseless indictment of New York Attorney General Letitia James is part of Donald Trump’s corrupt weaponization of the criminal justice system against anyone who has sought to hold him accountable.

Newsweek's Joe Klein in 1996: "There are an awful lot of journalists who find what Buchanan says to be utterly abhorrent, but they've been giggling along with him. Part of every one of us is a theatre critic, and he is appealing to that part."

It's hard to help Americans left behind because so much of US identity is rooted in individualism. The average American conservative holds all three positions at once:

— Virtue signals about supporting US manufacturing
— Against raising the minimum wage
— Buys foreign imports because they're cheap

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "I'm willing to pay more for quality products if they are made in America, by Americans, who are paid a decent income." The tweet shows Norman Rockwell's "Freedom of Speech" painting, which is often used to show the tweeter is expressing a brave opinion.

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "MINIMUM WAGE JOBS WERE NOT MEANT TO BE A CAREER. Why does no one understand this? Entry level jobs are STEPPING STONES to better jobs. No one wants to work towards that though."

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "Buy $5 gloves instead of $50 ones. Trust me." The tweet shows a box of "Gorilla Grip" gloves.

The label on Gorilla Grip gloves show they're made in China.

For their appearance.

They didn’t send the Guard to serve.
They sent them to be seen.

The best sermons I have heard observe that the Book of Revelation isn't meant to be a historical prediction, but an allegory about the perpetual need to avoid being deceived by evil masquerading as good. In that respect, every day is Judgment Day, and these folks are failing the test.
