  1. Nah- he would have never used fossil fuels
  2. Here's another option...
  3. I'm particularly irked by those who hold the phone like it's some sort of lip plate or something... I understand the purpose, but when they don't have earbuds or anything, it means they are both shouting into it and cranking the volume so they can hear what's being said.
  4. One of my students lost their life in a similar situation: 2019 Seattle Crane Collapse
  5. Who should I tip for ensuring that we have two threads about this topic?
  6. Huh. I give her the tip, and only for two minutes work.
  7. Not surprising in the least... The "Praying Coach" case (church and state issue from earlier this year) didn't seem to think that facts mattered either.
  8. Yup. He wanted PayPal to rebrand as "X.Com", and held onto the site/name for over 20 years for just this moment.
  9. It's a certainty: CNN- Emmett Till’s memorial sign was riddled with bullet holes. 35 days after being replaced, it was shot up again
  10. It's possible that's not the first time she's been on a black 'leather' couch covered in white goo
  11. The bad news- These are terrible. The good news- There are a lot of them
  12. Even better are the pastors that experience a sense of calling and decide to start their own congregations without any oversight, supervision, or support from external or established organizations.
  13. Not his dignity, that's for certain
  14. Not always: USDA Food Product Dating CNN- The truth, and strategy, of food expiration dates
  15. Woah... uttering AND publishing! They're screwed.
  16. That's not a bad trade, though... Funny with a big set of hooters? You could do worse
  17. Gotta be Liberty, what with the "Falkirk" bullshit and all.
  18. This. Summer traffic at the national parks can be especially hellish
  19. Yup. Stay away. It's terrible- rains all the time, and just crawling with homeless/antifa/addicts/hippies. 😏
  20. Possibly off topic (at least this new course of dialogue), but I have some friends and former students who work as legal advocates for persons who've escaped human trafficking (Seattle has quite a bit, being a major port city to Asia). That persons are exploited sexually is tragically factual, the majority of persons trafficked are enslaved in roles that are more "labor" based- Domestic labor, agricultural work, sweatshop production. One of my colleagues often says that the focus on sexual exploitation is important, but it also provides a convenient distraction to the fact that all of us benefit from (in her language "are complicit in") the larger amount of human suffering due to our participation in an economy that emphasizes low consumer costs and high corporate profits over human dignity and thriving. It's a perfect connection to the modern GOP- Focus on sex, use "save the children" as a rallying cry (without meaningful actions), and ignore the things that might implicate and undercut their corporate donors.
