Folks, pay attention. This is how long the gears of justice take to turn. This couple was wronged almost 10 years ago and only now are they getting some compensation.
Do not let these people into power, their atrocities will be dust in the wind by the time they face a jury.
Researchers used statistical methods to adjust for confounding variables. “We found that about half of the excess risk with red meat consumption was explained by excess body weight,”
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
It makes me upset when people forget what it means to be an American.
In case anyone didn't know, Staten Island is where the fascists like to live in New York; Trump won it almost 2-1 in 2020.
[Staten Island Borough President Vito Fossella said] "I know there are folks out there who think, 'Well, New York City voted for a right to shelter.' Staten Island is different. Staten Island doesn't support these concepts."
At a panini shop a few blocks from the shelter, Peter Monte agrees. He says the new shelter worries him because it's "right behind the school and it shouldn't be behind the all-girls school."
Actually, according to police statistics, the rate of sex crimes in the area is unchanged in the month since the shelter opened. But Monte says he feels uncomfortable.
"You've got girls walking around, you know, in school. It's not right."
[We can't have these brown immigrants around our girls!]
Just a collection of horrible, racist people (well, about two thirds of them).
One thing I love about the GOP is to see them constantly abandon their pawns. Kim Davis, Joe the Plumber, Kyle Rittenhouse, etc.... All of these people were mainstage for their 15 minutes of fame and the moment the GOP had wrung them out for all the outrage bait they can generate, they get left in the deep end to fend for themselves.
Honestly, it's probably best to remember these people if you're politically engaged. They're the ones representative of the future of the Republican party. They're the ones who are pushing for all this fact-free Biden impeachment stuff. They're the ones who want to make sure teens are pregnant and trans people are dead. They're a window into a future of the country -- what little we have given their idea of governance -- that will happen if we let them.
Huh, really goes to show how insulary our social circles can be. I struggle think of a time anyone I know has ever bought a Twinkies, let alone its ownership would sell for a hotly-contended 5.6 billion.
Ah yes, just in time to fuck up the recipes even more through cost cutting!
Not to say that the original Twinkie recipe wasn’t just some kind of industrial waste, but you get my drift. These kind of buyouts literally never result in a higher quality product. It’s just one more thing for J.M. Smucker to drive into the ground for profit.
