The municipal police have another problem too. A study from a few years ago found that police were the sixth leading cause of death for Black men in the United States. That means Black men have a greater risk of being murdered by police than being killed in an actual crime.

1. Note that the girl in this pastoral fantasy is sort of a landscape feature, like Stinky’s, not autonomous.

2. Also I am 75% sure she’s not a nice girl, she’s awful, and also she’s dead and this is her Hell

What a horrific state of affairs when someone is purged from their job for standing behind the proposition that the world is better when we act like decent fucking people.

"The jury verdict from 10 years ago contains a scrivener's error insofar as it states that the defendant was not guilty. We are changing that, nunc pro tunc, to guilty."

Yeah, no.
It is not! A “scrivener’s error” is for things like fixing typos or very minor non-material errors, not retroactively adding a deportation order that doesn’t current exist!
Is "correcting" a previous order like this a real thing?

Oh hey, the thing the framers were absolutely terrified of.
This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

I don’t know how else to say it…

This is Charles Clyde Ebbets, the photographer who took the iconic “Lunch atop a Skyscraper” picture. Look at this fearless, dapper fuck wearing spats, suspenders, and a tie 850 feet above the ground. Absolute legend.
Here he is taking the photo.

Epic pays for licensing fees for the games they give away for free as promotions. Which means even if YOU aren't paying for it, you're giving money to JK Rowling to harm transgender people AND elevating her stature by giving her franchise higher numbers.

NO TERF WIZARD GAME. NO TERF WIZARD SHOW.

Just throwing this out there, but for any queer folks in Texas that want to get married and face obstacles from a JP or a county judge, I can legally marry you and your partner. I've been an ordained minister in Texas since 2019.
I love this, and fuck any judge that takes advantage of that Texas Supreme Court ruling to deny anyone. I'm an ordained minister and I will conduct any Small or Big Gay Wedding in Texas.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Something that has stuck with me for years now is that Ed Brubaker has made more in residuals for the 5 second cameo he had in Captain America: The Winter Soldier than he ever did at Marvel literally creating the comics it’s based on.

Why is everyone so obsessed w/ the school au enemies-to-lovers queerbait Oz musical and not the actual later Oz books where the rightful queen of Oz returns and she's a trans girl who becomes Dorothy's "totally platonic" life partner.

They should be making movies about that.
