  1. https://www.axios.com/local/salt-lake-city/2024/02/08/utah-school-board-natalie-cline-gender-basketball-threats

    Utah state school board member Natalie Cline is under fire after posting photos of a high school basketball player, questioning her gender and prompting threats against the girl. Cline, an elected member of the Utah State School Board, posted the photos Tuesday on Facebook, inciting a dogpile of comments identifying the girl, criticizing her appearance.

    The girl is now under police protection, the Salt Lake Tribune reports, as Granite School District ramps up security at her school.

    I don't think Lawrence Wright mentioned the name of the restaurant, but it's been about six years since I read it.  I've got it but it's at my studio about 50 miles from where I am currently.

     Ouisie's or Confederate House, imo

    I'm sorry.  Someone healthy, under 40, with 6 or 7X vax antibodies plus 3 or 4X natural antibodies (in a 3.5 year period) getting a prescription drug that is not recommended for them (i.e., no "high risk") is not "cautious". It's a complete inability to understand or evaluate risk.

    No need to be sorry. I would agree with your assessment. I just don't really see the issue, I guess.

    So what's it say because I deleted Xitter

    Mitchell is credited with devising the novel enforcement mechanism in the Texas Heartbeat Act, also known as Senate Bill 8 (or SB 8), which outlaws abortion after cardiac activity is detected and avoids judicial review by prohibiting government officials from enforcing the statute and empowering private citizens to bring lawsuits against those who violate it.[4][5] On September 1, 2021, the Supreme Court of the United States refused to enjoin the enforcement of SB 8, marking the first time that a state had successfully imposed a pre-viability abortion ban since Roe v. Wade.[6]

    Mitchell has argued five times before the Supreme Court of the United States and authored the principal merits brief in eight Supreme Court cases.[1] Mitchell has also written amicus curiae briefs in the Supreme Court. In Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, Mitchell and a colleague urged the Supreme Court to overrule Roe v. Wade, arguing that overturning Roe should eventually lead to the reversal of other "lawless" court decisions such as those establishing a right to same-sex marriage (Obergefell v. Hodges), while distinguishing and defending the right to interracial marriage recognized in Loving v. Virginia.[13] [14]

    What are you doing in this thread now, btw? Or what do you think you're doing?

    Explaining that the account has a political agenda and pushes propaganda. Given that you were unaware, I hope it helped.

    Unregistered twitter users aren't allowed that sort of access so you'll have to find someone who enjoys posting and/or browsing a white supremacist website to engage in that sort of fuckery. I'm wholly reliant upon my belief and understanding that @viper is a credible and reliable poster on this here website. If he's not, or if it's not news and/or not accurate then obviously the tale turns and y'all should turn your fire, so to speak, in another direction. As for "policing," you've got it entirely assbackwards.

    Well, I was able to access it without an account. Appreciate the implication, though. 

    You're right, maybe policing isn't the best term. Perhaps "hissy fit" better describes your reactions to the criticism and RomaVicta making an appearance.

    But discussing tit-for-tat was you, wasn't it? You could've left it alone. Or perhaps I misunderstand and you're arguing that the release of a video capturing a kid trying to lure a soldier into being unprepared and then stab the soldier, only to wind up getting gunned down, isn't news?

    The point of that post was not to spread "news." It was to show that Palestinian descriptions of Israeli violence are propaganda. Take a look at that woman's last 10 "tweets" and come back and continue to argue with a straight face that she is a purveyor of "news."

    While we're on the subject, who commissioned you to police this thread?

  8. Like most societal issues that are dropped onto the lap of the criminal justice system to "solve," the drug issue is a housing, economic, mental health, and medical crisis that needs to be addressed at all levels. By the time they reach the CJ system, its kinda too late.

    We don't have the stomach to actually address the issue, so we make half-hearted efforts  - a local proposition here, a tax increase there, a ribbon cutting ceremony at a treatment facility - but the underlying and systemic issues remain.

    Texas is, like most states, multi layered social strata where those low statistics mean nothing for us softy suburban guys. The poors and strugglers will always be there and always have but they are invisibile. Not sure why this thread exists, what's the point. 

    keep in mind that the whole damn world and other Americans are moving TO TEXAS in droves.  ++ biggest corporations in the world.

    yeah, failed state, no.  Bad thread. 

    Did I miss a memo that went out? That's the second poster in a week who, when faced with statistics showing hardships endured by the poor, says "meh, people have always been poor, not our concern."
