@georgetakei she's right. That's so gross. Such a ridiculous broadcasting decision to put them in that position.
This is probably one of the worst case scenarios but they're all kinds of innocent sports fans falling victim to the cameras anymore for a variety of reasons and being turned into memes and whatnot.
TLDR - show fans more respect ESPECIALLY women fans when you damn well know what's going to happen on interpretation.
@georgetakei As many have been saying; enjoy tomorrow, it may be our last Fourth of July. No, I don’t believe that, not for one minute. We will work our tails off to save our constitutional republic. We are not going to fail Benjamin Franklin. We will keep it.
The Supreme Court's recent decision on presidential immunity is complex and, frankly, alarming. Understanding its impact on our democracy can be challenging. Thankfully, The Big Picture has broken it down in their latest article. This essential read explores how the ruling could enable presidential abuses of power and what it means for Trump’s ongoing legal issues. If you care about the future of our Republic, take the time to read and understand what’s at stake. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/imperial-presidency-scotus-trump-immunity
@georgetakei Biden should officially make it into law that felons cannot be president and if any former president becomes a felon, they lose all benefits thereof (pension, protection, etc)
@georgetakei it’s just one more step in their complete consolidation of total power. They shred the Constitution one bit at a time, the courts are owned, little bit more every day. And America’s greatest modern achievement is apathy.
@georgetakei yup, time to start erecting the guillotines in public squares, it's time to remind potential kings what happens when you act in defiance to your citizens.
In "How Men Like Donald Trump, Brett Kavanaugh, And Brock Turner Are Made," writer Amelia Mavis Christnot explores the roots of toxic masculinity and privilege. From Ivy League halls to positions of power, see how entitlement shapes behavior and fuels impunity. A powerful read—dive in now by visiting The Big Picture. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/culture-made-trump-kavanaugh-turner
@georgetakei Very well written article. What always amazes me isn't so much the toxic people who grew up surrounded by privilege and yes-people becoming so terrible as the way society, as a whole, bends over backwards to enable them to do so even outside of applicable context. For example, when they were "investigating" Kavanaugh and intentionally chose not to interview witnesses and to ask almost no questions, that was no ivy league school -- he was being appointed as a Supreme Court justice.
@georgetakei I’m looking for combat veterans who want to address the loss of the democracy we fought for. To have a few privileged misfits ending this 250 yr democracy is not sitting well with me. We need to take it to them up close.
In his presidential immunity opinion, Chief Justice Roberts accused Justice Sotomayor and the two other Democratic-appointed justices who joined her in dissent, of “fearmongering on the basis of extreme hypotheticals.”
It isn't extreme to think that someone might abuse the power to break the law with impunity in a nation where, just a few short years ago, one of the candidates for the highest office in the land incited, willfully, an armed assault on democracy and other officers of their government in direct violation of the oath they took when they assumed the mantle of the presidency.
In fact, it would be incredibly naive to believe anything else. Chief Justice Roberts doesn't even believe what he is saying; he's only mouthing nonsense to try to distract the people of America from what a card-carrying Batman villain he is.
It's funny how manufacturers were quiet about phasing it out in the US. Apparently the EU banned it long before we did.
Yes, it WAS in Mountain Dew.
Also, it's interesting that there's articles on the internet that resurface every few months saying it's still in drinks, even after it was removed-- probably because, it was never mentioned as being removed.
@arstechnica It's not really a "supply chain" - it's a dependency. "supply chain" implies some kind of financial arrangement that simply doesn't exist when using a random person's git repo.
