This will be an interesting case. Not sure how it’ll go in the plaintiff’s favor. States regulate items beyond the federal government all the time. Just try to drive a 2004 Mack Granite into California if you want to find out.
She started it all.
Well…no shit. I see two solutions here: one is to prosecute everybody who has classified docs outside of a SCIF. And the second is to stop over classifying everything…and still prosecute everybody with classified docs outside of a SCIF. Anyway, this would have all been simplified if Comey would have applied the law properly in 2016.

Ain’t that the truth.

They’re wrong.

Looks like you figured out the race of the shooter. On a positive note, it’s good people still appreciate Mel Brooks movies. Even criminals.
“Or is this more like the “Bring It On” franchise?”
Was there a franchise? Bring It On (2000) has Eliza Dushku in a cheerleading outfit.
I’m unfamiliar with the series, but from the title I’m going with – a saga of back alley street fights with anime-esque over the top fighting moves and massive collateral damage between bizarre and/or quirky fighters battling over the fate of the world.
What was the movie where two football players go to cheerleading camp in order to get laid? That one was surprisingly not terrible.
Oh yeah. There were a bunch of them.

Look at these guys acting like they don’t know.
If you give a mouse more milk, he’ll develop a taste for human blood.
I see that the guy wrongfully sentenced to 130 years was done so almost entirely on the basis of jailhouse snitches and in the face of contrary physical evidence.
How do you get 12 idiots all in a row to vote “Yup, that’s the guy what done it” with that kind of case?
Free sandwiches?
Jailhouse snitches invariably get better conditions and/or lighter sentences and cannot EVER be trusted.

I figured out the reason for all the classified documents showing up. It’s to make Hillary look like the responsible one for keeping them on a server, instead of just on loose paper in her house!

Also, did not know she is currently chancellor of a university in Belfast.

Given that the main job of a chancellor is to talk up the institution and raise money, maybe that’s why they picked her. Wonder if she lives in Belfast at least part of the year?

She knew where her classified was. What is their excuse?
Didn’t she have an intern or maid print her emails and bring them to her to read?
No, she used a blackberry. In 2015.

this is almost definitely the same guy as the SWAT story in Gary, Indiana. looks like he’s been having a wild 6 months.
something unsaid about the times we live in is that people who were just barely holding on in the pandemic years are just getting crushed by the food and housing inflation. we’re seeing people becoming more and more unstable. and yet the worse it gets the more we’re just ignoring it. perhaps it’s just normal but man, I wouldn’t want to be in the cities, especially not the ones with large transient populations.

We interrupt your normally schedule SJWednesday article to bring you a very special edition of Is It Satire Or Not?
https://iqfy.com/unvaccinated-silence/
Has to be satire, I refuse to hear any evidence to the contrary (just like the vaxxtards)
No, I find it quite believable – because everything that happens to those morons is someone else’s fault. They refuse to accept their own agency.
‘The unvaccinated should by any moral measuring stick have done more to warn about the potential risks — to help us make informed decisions about our health. And they must now ask us for our forgiveness’
Definitely satire. 🙂
I suppose – I wasn’t going to read the whole thing.
Its clearly satire, but I am not sure of the point.
Mocking any hope of an amicable return to normalcy.
Even if the pro-vax people could admit they were saying, they would blame the anti vax.
It’s kind of a black pill.
I’m going to go with satire based on how they introduce the comments section.
Nope. That is a perfect example of actual though patterns of the left.
Not Satire.
Hard to say much when I wasn’t allowed in the office, then got laid-off (totally unrelated to the vax accordingly to HR).

Definitely not satire. These folks could be writing for The Bee.
I’ll try again.
Last night, I watched the Modern Marvels episode about the Pacific Coast Highway. It was built in the ’30s; much of it by hand. You couldn’t build it now. You’d be buried in an avalanche of restraining orders filed by enviro-tards.
Some truly amazing bridges on that road.
One of the best vacations of my life… Back in the 90s there was an airline fare war and one way tickets were crazy cheap. So my brother and I flew into San Francisco and spent a week exploring California and driving the PCH to LA before flying home from LAX.
We rented a convertible to take in the coast. What a great drive.
Everything about California was great… Until we got to LA. What an armpit of a city. My favorite moment there was driving to find the LA Coliseum and noticing what street we were on. “Westbound on Olympic.. approaching Overland.”. Venice beach was fun, but fake and kinda dirty. Other than that? Not too cool.
Well, we did accidentally walk around the intersection where Damion “football” Williams made his name before noticing the iconic burned out storefront. Since this was only like a year after those events, we quickly retreated.
I lived in LA in the late 90s. You could actually still live there, then.
Best part of living in LA was being a very white hockey fan and feeling like you were on a military convoy outside the wire to get to the Forum.
Huh. I once heard from an Angeleno amateur hockey player that in LA not even the Canadians liked hockey.
LA is a huge market for hockey thanks to Gretsky. I’ll even admit that Disney played a part too. Outside of expensive ice-time, the game thrives there. Roller and Ice, club wasn’t just in-house but 20+ different rinks and teams to play against.
I grew up on that road. The 101 ran through my town, and the 1 split off to go to Morro Bay and up the coast to Big Sur and Monterrey. We used to get on our motorcycles and ride up as fast as we dared. I took my wife on it, when we had the ’09 Beetle, and she was scared shitless! I tried to get her to go over Naciamento-Fergesun road, from the coast to Camp Hunter-Ligget, but she was white knuckling it the whole time and did not want an extra hour of dirt switchbacks.
Daily Ray of Sunshine
I love this type of story. We need more of this type of thing in the world.
We have an organization in town that supports people with learning disabilities. They have a few work opportunities. In one, they package popcorn and snacks, and have a small store attached to a Meijer grocery. They also have a document shredding business. Maybe I should give their number to our former presidents and VP’s.
You want to show the former presidents and vp’s what they might – possibly – aspire to if they work real hard? You might someday be as smart as this kid with Down’s syndrome working the cash register at the coffee shop! But you really need to hit the books.
In San Angelo, there was an outfit that employed people with serious disabilities. Among other things, they made pens and those little branded giveaways. You did not want to try to order from anyone else if you worked at my hospital there.
The Trek bicycle factory in Madison employed disabled people to make their bike helmets.
That was great! The cleaning crew at my old gym were disabled and they were truly a ray of sunshine for me.
Thanks, Jimbo!
Sigh. I made of them cry once.
There was a friendly gal who was on the special cleaning crew and I was always nice to her. I said hello any time we passed each other and she would always wave at me.
Then one day I went out for a run and when I got back, she started to wave and then burst into tears. I had been wearing my shirt that said “Your a Moron” and she read it and thought it was about her. Talk about being embarrassed.
She never acknowledged my presence again.
Lol. I remember that shirt.
#metoo
Ouch.
I know I’d feel awful if I did the same. It’s part of the reason I’m essentially “slogan free” on my T-Shirts.
I do, however, have a “let’s go Brandon” t- shirt that was a present.
I own a lot of truly horrible shirts. The worst is the one that has “Jesus is coming” on the front. On the back it says “Are you going to spit or swallow?”
Since I was in graphic design in high school I made all types of shirts. One was a shirt bright orange that said “Chicks Dig Me” and on the back “Too Bad Im Gay”
Interestingly enough, no school personnel cared that I wore that shirt in the 90s but threw a fit for a shirt I found for a tile company that had “We get laid all over the world”. Though my English teacher got a laugh out of it.
Tile company with bad customer service
I don’t know. I told my wife that I want a shirt that says “I’m with stupid” and an arrow pointing down.
She liked it!
Thankfully it’s cold in hockey rinks so I didn’t see what shirt you were wearing. 🙂
Ha! I had on my basketball team’s shirt for that game.

They knew: why didn’t the unvaccinated do more to warn us?
The unvaccinated knew what we didn’t. Some of them said too little. Most said nothing at all. A lot of blood is now on their hands.

Maybe I should send that to my brother. Yeah, probably not.

“Kansas man accidentally shot by dog remembered as ‘lovable goofball’
A man who was shot by his dog in a tragic hunting accident was identified as Kansas plumber Joseph Smith on Tuesday as friends remembered the hunter as a “loving goofball” who made them smile.
Smith, 30, was in the front passenger seat of a pickup truck when the pooch stepped on the hunting rifle in the backseat. Smith was struck in the back and killed instantly, according to KSN.com…
Police have also not disclosed what happened to the animal in the days since the shooting.”
https://nypost.com/2023/01/24/kansas-man-shot-by-dog-in-hunting-accident-ided/
Not a hunting accident if the loaded gun, dog and man were all inside a vehicle. Tragic stupidity, sure.
Maybe the dog had a motive.
“Where are my testicles, Summer?”
The doge worked for the Clintons?
That’s reminiscent of the idiot around here who was lowering his loaded deer rifle from a stand using a rope. The trigger snagged a limb and he shot himself.
Clear your chambers, people.
The dog should have known to check the weapon before stepping on it.
When I was in the National Guard we had the original M1s with the 105mm gun and the armor without uranium. During my last AT, they took away all our tanks to give to the Iraqi Army. We were supposed to get M1A2s – the battalion got reflagged as MPs instead.
Do we have any old original M1s sitting around that still run to send to the Ukes? The composition of the Chobham armor on the new versions is supposed to be secret. Same with new versions of the Challenger and Leopard. Or are just saying ‘screw it’ and sending the good stuff?
DC is in a bind now and it should scare the shit out of everyone. Putin seems to be taking the road of economically bleeding Europe dry with the Europeans’ assistance.
If DC gives up or loses, NATO is toast and possibly the dollar as well. Does anyone think the megalomaniacs in Washington can swallow that? Or do you think it’s more likely that they will escalate until it gets all nucleary and stuff?
The Russians ending this soon and letting the Poles and others partition western Ukraine seems the best hope for this not going nuclear. Sucks for the Ukrainians but they fucked up and trusted us.
Europe being bled dry? Don’t really care.
NATO ending? Don’t really care.
Dollar collapsing? Would care.
DC vaporized? Don’t care.
Local power plants and cities getting nuked? Really care.
The dollar is already a farce, but it isn’t going anywhere. It supports virtually all global trade – when that collapses, then the dollar will be of no use outside this country and then we will reap what we’ve sown.
From what I read they supposedly plan to send the old M1s that they keep around as replacements in case of war time attrition.
Solid plan if this all gets out of hand I guess.
Maybe we still have some we didn’t give to Iraq.
“Military officials have still not addressed questions about what happened or acknowledged that a weapon was fired.”
Shit, too bad the military doesn’t have the same halo as the police. I believe the headline would be ‘a bullet discharged’.
Okay, I’m no bigger a fan of cleverly named laws than anyone else here. But, this did give me a chuckle.
*snort*
Yeah, I approve of that one.

A quick Google suggests that the Icon Bronco restomods only go for $250k optioned out.
I’ve no idea where they pulled that number.
only… $250K…
Between parts and labor I can see it.
Icon essentially makes custom hand built vehicles.
Now I don’t get $250k worth of utility, but I understand it…
Aren’t they the ones who do “replica old cars” with all modern guts like an LS engine, ABS, suspension, etc… And then do a complete restoration of the body, then distress that to make it look old?
Basically a hand built performance art piece….. Definitely justifies the price tag. Can’t say it justifies my dollar.. but if you are a car dude who wants a modern version of an old car and you have boatloads of cash? Sure.
Yup. Customized however you like, but still retains spirit of the original.
Generally the “rat rods” are original bodies with minimal bodywork. They just look for those specifically. Everything underneath is usually fully modern.

Remember how Ukraine and several other factors were going to cause food shortages and starvation?
Well, the time for that is now in the past. What happened?
Was that another CIA disinformation piece, or are our people in the media just stupid?
There were experts and think pieces and stand up news reports and dire predictions. And not only has none of that happened, but nobody is going back to revisit it to explain themselves. They ran 6 months of stories about it, then just dropped the entire matter.
This one makes no sense to me… Not the predictions, but the coverage and then non-coverage.
My guess is we (as in wealthy nations) are sending less free food to starving African nations. I could be wrong though.
Yeah, but things will be so messed up, we’d barely notice thehttps://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/infographics/ukrainian-grain-exports-explained/#:~:text=On%2022%20July%202022%2C%20an,%2C%20Odesa%20and%20Yuzhny%2FPivdennyi.

Minnesoda DFLers hellbent on legalizing late term abortions forever
I’m so shocked that King Walz lied through his teeth during the campaign.
Minnesota isn’t alone
The difference is there is no chance of this passing in Virginia this year.
I sort of get what the DFL is doing. Abortion scare mongering won them all the elections around here. My proggie sister was one of the crazies who were convinced that despite being in our state constitution, abortion would be eliminated if the GOP won anything.
Didn’t care about the shitty lockdowns, or the rioting or rampant crime. She was terrified that abortions would become illegal.
So yeah, the DFL owes those rubes at least some theater about saving the abortion.
My greatest fear is the government won’t allow me to kill my children if I don’t want them.
It never ceases to amaze me that so many people see a vertical slippery slope on abortion laws leading to the complete abolition of equality for women, and otherwise say slippery slopes are a fallacy.
I may be biased, but different groups have different track records with regards to identifying slippery slopes.
Shambling toward Armageddon
On Tuesday, the clock was set at 90 seconds until midnight — the closest to the hour it has ever been, according to the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, which created the clock in 1947. Midnight represents the moment at which we will have made Earth uninhabitable for humanity. From 2020 to 2022, the clock was set at 100 seconds to midnight.
The clock isn’t designed to definitively measure existential threats, but rather to spark conversations about difficult scientific topics such as climate change, according to the Bulletin.
The decision to move the clock 10 seconds forward this year is largely due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the increased risk of nuclear escalation, the Bulletin said in a news release. The continuing threats posed by the climate crisis, as well as the breakdown of norms and institutions needed to reduce risks associated with biological threats like Covid-19, also played a role.
“We are living in a time of unprecedented danger, and the Doomsday Clock time reflects that reality,” Rachel Bronson, president and CEO of the Bulletin, said in the release. “It’s a decision our experts do not take lightly. The US government, its NATO allies and Ukraine have a multitude of channels for dialogue; we urge leaders to explore all of them to their fullest ability to turn back the Clock.”
Ukraine is just a temporary distraction. It’s global warming what’ll kill us all.
[yawn]
Those folk are criminally dishonest or criminally insane. Maybe both. Why anyone is paying attention to those nimrods is beyond me.
Yeah, if I remember correctly they moved the clock forward twice within a year of Trump winning the ’16 election because Orange Man Cray Cray!!!
It’s both, for most anyway except the rank and file sympathizers who are criminally stupid.
Their capacity for relative risk assessment is astounding.

Those gun laws – which are under threat thanks to a recent Supreme Court decision – only go so far in a country awash in guns, where there’s almost no action at the federal level, and where there is so much variation in gun laws from state to state and even within states.
But it would also be wrongheaded to look at a string of unrelated mass shootings that spanned from Southern California to Northern California in recent days and argue that all gun laws don’t work.
——-
California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who was already eyeing even more gun control measures before these shootings, had strong words about how his efforts are hampered by the federal government and the Supreme Court.
“The Second Amendment is becoming a suicide pact,” Newsom told CBS News, although he added he supports a sensible right to bear arms. “I have no ideological opposition with someone reasonably and responsibly owning firearms and getting background checks and being trained and making sure they’re locked so their kid doesn’t accidentally shoot themselves or a loved one.”
Nobody wants to take your guns away.
“I’m reasonable. I only want to dictate which guns you can have, where you can have them and when.”
I do. I mean Sean’s guns in particular, but yours as well.
Guns should only be in the hands of cops, the military, and his bodyguards. Sensible!
My coworkers and I can’t make the NPV math work on this…

I took my 8-year-old daughter to the office on ‘Take Your Kid To Work Day’ But when we walked in the office she started to cry.
As concerned staff gathered round I asked her what was wrong and she said: “Daddy where are all the clowns you said you work with.”

I long for the days when grooming kids meant giving them a haircut. They should all be fired (or imprisoned, maybe a bit harsh but I’m becoming open to it).
I’m beginning to think there are mass graves in our future one way or the other, for two reasons:
(1) It seems to happen in every country with a sufficient critical mass of leftists/collectivists.
(2) “It can’t happen here” is a fallacy.
If so, the only question is, who will fill those mass graves? I’m beginning to get some ideas. . . .
I have no doubts who will fill the mass graves – the ones without guns.
Antifa are arming themselves where they can though.
“critical mass of leftists/collectivists.”
We don’t have anywhere close the necessary amount for this to happen yet.
Time to tear down the public school system and replace it with nothing.
it’s “a huge testament to how much we’ve been talking about it in the classroom”
Well, that’s true…
Credit where due people.
Schiff vows to continue the fight for Democracy.
Did he expel them, or decline to appoint them? New Congress, new majority, new committee appointments, right?
Refused to allow them a committee seat. Not that they shouldn’t be expelled, but that would require the whole House to make that decision.
Jeffries sent a letter demanding they be seated on the committee.
Oh okay. What a fool.
Like Schiff needs to be on that committee in order to claim he has seen irrefutable evidence of Trump being a criminal.
And continually leak bullshit to stay relevant.
As strong as California’s gun laws are, it’s still easier to get guns there than it is in Europe, or Canada, or Australia, or New Zealand. The US began regulating gun access when we already had millions of guns in circulation. Other countries didn’t do that, so they don’t have this problem.
But here the gun lobby holds tremendous sway, and gun companies just want to keep selling guns. And they’ve been able to – our gun laws have been weakened considerably over the last 30 years, thanks to gun industry lobbying.
Half the states have permit-less carry. So where are the gun companies in all this? This is a corporate responsibility story too. They can set safety standards themselves if they wanted to, but they’re not.
The gun lobby’s zombie army will kill us all. Wake up, sheeple, before it’s too late!
As always, the answer is “We didn’t prog hard enough”, or “That wasn’t real socialism.”
Half the states have permit-less carry.
And how do the violent crime stats look in those states compared to places like Chicago, LA, Baltimore, DC, etc. with strict gun laws?
As strong as California’s gun laws are, it’s still easier to get guns there than it is in Europe, or Canada, or Australia, or New Zealand.
Then pick one of those countries, and move there.

I assume modern day young ppl who think communism is cool have some explanation for the soviet union where it’s “not really communism”, but I don’t know what they say is actually the concrete difference. What are the ways lethal communism is diff from trendy communism?
https://twitter.com/Aella_Girl/status/1617910193895141377
From the replies:
“Actually, most of us say the USSR was pretty rad. And it was! It massively increased life expectancy and life satisfaction, produced brilliant art and science, as well as better working conditions and social justice than the modern US. We are critical of many aspects, however”
I wonder if all the starving victims count to that life expectancy
“It’s amusing to me how easily ppl conclude “communism has failed” from the soviet union regime, but not “capitalism has failed” from every single capitalist country with high poverty and low quality of life. Capitalism can have many faces, but communism = soviet union = failure”
The promise of capitalism is not the same as the promise of communism.
every single capitalist country with high poverty and low quality of life.
Wut.
“social justice”
The Soviets treated racial and ethnic minorities like dogshit unless you consider equal destitution and desperation to be social justice.
Did they treat ethnic Russians better? (I don’t know).
yes
life satisfaction
– How is life in North Korea?
– I can’t complain.
“I can’t complain”
“Oh, so it’s pretty good?”
“No, I’m not allowed to complain.”
have you never heard about not dissecting a frog ?

– Yes, but your constitution guarantees freedom after speech.
Ah yes, the great working conditions of the gulag, plus the amazing cultural offerings, at least those that didn’t get you sent to work in the aforementioned gulag.

When we said you should give us some head that isn’t what we meant!
Revisionism?
The College Board said Tuesday it would release a new framework for the Advanced Placement course in African American Studies that the administration of Gov. Ron DeSantis blocked from being offered in Florida high schools.
The nonprofit organization, which oversees the nationwide Advanced Placement program, announced that on Feb. 1 it would “release the official framework” for an AP African American Studies course, which it said has been under development since March.
The DeSantis administration sent a letter to the College Board rejecting the course this month, saying, “As presented, the content of this course is inexplicably contrary to Florida law and significantly lacks educational value.”
A spokesperson for the College Board did not respond to questions about whether the change was a direct result of Florida’s rejection of the course.
Are they going to whitewash history again?
Because what this country needs are more studies degrees.
Maybe because they haven’t tried to turn AP European History into marxist agitprop. Yet.
And last I remember, AP History and even regular History do touch on the ills of slavery and all the other things.
True, but AP history doesn’t teach the true Patrick Henry quote of “Give me slavery over the black peoples or give me death!”
one is to prosecute everybody who has classified docs outside of a SCIF
Assuming the rules haven’t changed since I handled classified documents, this just says you have no idea what the rules are about handling classified documents. Secret and Confidential documents don’t have to be in SCIFs, though they have to be in closed areas.
Appliance makers sad that 50% of customers won’t connect smart appliances
TW Top. Men. at Ars Technica.
1. Crappy third party phone apps with bugs and privacy issues.
2, Little to no support and security updates for the installed 3rd party firmware within the appliance.
3. Privacy concerns.
4. Why does one need a connected appliance?
Yeah, I’ll get right on connecting my toaster to the cloud.
I replaced my washer recently. I avoided all the “smart” washers.
Me too. I can’t imagine any added convenience having a connected washer, dryer, or fridge. I’ve owned a few sous vides, and I avoid the bluetooth versions. The whole point is to just turn it on and leave it. Why do I need one more thing to constantly check on my phone?
The only thing I connect to my phone is my pellet smoker, though technically I can manually set it outside at the actual smoker the settings, just requires some navigation of the buttons in certain sequences.
#metoo + dryer (I felt it was time we deserved new appliances.)
I wish we could have been able to afford SpeedQueen, but alas.
I see no reason to do so. Do they give a good reason why I should?
Errr…
Wouldn’t you like to know when your oven has come to temperature?
I got it!
How about I let you know your teeny tiny refrigerator water filter is now past its 3 day or 3 gallon shelf life and I can automatically order you a new one at list price?
Ah, I may be depriving them of additional revenue. My bad.
Yep. And information about how you use the product, and when. Which can be shared with the authorities if necessary.
Wonder if I can program the oven to send dick pics?
Only thing that has some functionality I have seen is our dishwasher…you can customize a cycle. Other than that, there is no functionality that warrants connectivity.
I have seen some very nice brewing rigs that are programmable by bluetooth or wireless connection to run full mash cycles and the like. But those are the exception, not really a mass market item, and (to me) not worth it.
But they are really neat.
So they can sell access to your machine.
I can’t think of one. When oven reaches temperature – current one gives an audible notice. When the washer/dryer are done – same. Dishwasher – I run it and come back hours later to empty. Fridge – can it keep a complete inventory without my input?
No way I’m installing a smart toilet.
The only appliance i would connect is my AC so I can start it remote
It will then be promtply turned off my the ministry of environmental enhancement.
I’m surprised that so many make the mistake of connecting these thing.
The teen stabbed Kayla Green during a large brawl after a parade in Mount Vernon to mark the state championship won by the high school boys’ basketball team.
It’s their culture.
I remember that…what a God awful take that was.
DeSantis, who won re-election in November and is seen a potential 2024 presidential candidate, had criticized including material about queer theory as recently as Monday.
“Who would say that an important part of Black history is queer theory? That is somebody pushing an agenda on our kids,” DeSantis said. “And so, when you look and see they have stuff about intersectionality, abolishing prisons — that’s a political agenda. That’s the wrong side of the line for Florida’s standards.”
DeSantis has made education and other social issues key parts of his administration. Last year, he signed into law legislation dubbed the “Stop WOKE Act,” which restricts how race and gender are discussed in classrooms.
The White House last week criticized DeSantis’ opposition to the AP course, calling it “incomprehensible.”
“If you think about the study of Black Americans, that is what he wants to block,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said at a briefing. “They didn’t block AP European History.”
Bless her heart.
I didn’t know you were from the south.
It’s wonderful how well reasoned DeSantis is with his arguments. Others could really learn from that. He deconstructs his critics completely instead of going for shitty sound bites.
The most devastating way to combat the stupid is to embrace the putative goal and point out a better way to get to it. Kisin does that, with both comic and serious responses. Those not committed to the real goal (instead of the nominal one) are prone to be peeled off. Only those who know the lie will react most badly – and that’s a great tell for all of the others.
Like climate change and nuclear power. Bringing up nuclear power is a good way to separate the frauds from the truly concerned. And once I know somebody is truly concerned, I can make a lot of headway by simply asking “Did you know we are currently in an ice age?” (they never do), and pointing them at the Wikipedia page for it.
One of the reasons the left will soon forget about Trump and start going after DeSantis. That is, if he refuses to join the JUB CLub. If he joins the JUB Club, he’ll be fine and our next POTUS (Klaus readies new orders).

NTSB details incident where an airline worker was ‘ingested’ into an E175 engine
Wtf? Why wouldn’t you kill the engine as soon as you have an indicator (cargo bay door opening) that it was no longer safe?
the forward cargo door had been opened, even though the number one engine was still operative. The First Officer opened his cockpit window to inform the ramp agent, who opened the cargo door, that the left-hand power plant was still running.
“Never mind.”
“Last week, the NYT published a sympathetic profile of self-described liberal parents whose discomfort with their children’s gender transitions has led them into the arms of the right:

Of course they do
So I will only have to ignore a recommendation once a year.
That’s what mandates are for, Trumpet!
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis suggested Tuesday that the special grand jury investigating Donald Trump and his allies’ efforts to upend the 2020 election in Georgia has recommended multiple indictments and said that her decision on whether to bring charges is “imminent.”
At a hearing in Atlanta on whether to publicly release the special grand jury report. Willis, a Democrat, said she opposes making it public at the moment, citing her ongoing deliberations on charges.
“Decisions are imminent,” Willis told Judge Robert McBurney.
Do they really want to do this in open court? They refused to hear his challenges, at the time.
Bob McBurney? Sounds like an arsonist.
