Then, if that is the message intended, what do we do next?

Fuck off.

When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time. - Maya Angelou

If a woman tells you you threaten her more than a wild bear does, fucking listen, then fuck off. She is actively telling you you frighten her more than a fucking polar or grizzly. Why would you stick around? Do you enjoy terrifying people? Show some fucking respect and leave her alone forever, like she literally just asked you to. As a free bonus, you'll never have to hear her say it to you again.

Maybe what depends on the type of bear? Because the context is what a man should do when a woman tells him she'd rather be near a bear than him.

It's woman specific, because she can't speak for any woman but her, and her rights matter no more than yours do, if you're concerned about situations where you both want or need to be in the same space.

I skimmed the article, but I missed the actual meat of the proposal. Did anyone catch how landlords are supposed to be abolished? Would they just… ban charging rent and leave it up to judges to define “rent”?

    Maybe corporate fraud isn’t the shining counterexample you think it is.

    The 1A won’t abide that, any more than the 2A will abide banning firearms.

    'There are no victims, except me': Trump flips out on Letitia James in midnight rant ( www.rawstory.com )

    Despite warnings from New York Judge Arthur Engoron to not attack court officials, Donald Trump went on an extended rant near midnight on Sunday, lashing out at the judge who has already fined him $5000, in addition to once again attacking New York Attorney General Letitia James.In a post that compl...

    His gag order in that case applies to court staff - so neither the judge nor the prosecutor. There won’t be any punishment, as he violated no law.

    That’s a weird way to spell “I didn’t read the article and don’t know what it says”.

    I appreciated them correcting Randall’s bad alt-text math - he was off by a power of ten!

    Presumably invented by someone who hates food that tastes good.

    I’ve never been to Amsterdam, but I am always skeptical whenever someone claims to me that any city isn’t a shithole.

    Salt Lake City, Las Vegas, New York City, New Haven, Paris, Toronto… hard pass. Being that close to that many other people is fucking gross.

    Trump’s Ploy to Evade Punishment for Jan. 6 Is Coming Into Focus ( slate.com )

    Donald Trump’s lawyers finally filed their long-promised request for recusal on Monday afternoon, asking U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan to disqualify herself from the former president’s Jan. 6 case. Trump faces criminal charges in the District of Columbia for his alleged role in the insurrection, and Chutkan, a Barack...

    I doubt that very much. I think he’s going to die in state custody.

    Civil courts have a lower standard of proof than criminal. That’s why when a civil court found that Trump had raped Carroll, he didn’t automatically go to prison. Same deal here: the relevant tax fraud would still need to be proved in criminal court.

    State Republicans Try to Remove NC Supreme Court Justice for Mentioning the Existence of Racial Bias ( slate.com )

    On Tuesday, it was reported that North Carolina Supreme Court Justice Anita Earls could be ousted from her seat for judicial ethics violations. Did she fail to disclose gifts from a billionaire benefactor on whose cases she was ruling? No. Maybe she’d gone on luxury vacations across the globe paid for by some of the richest...

    This is horrible and I don’t want to detract from that, but did the author of this piece forget we were being given a picture?

    Earls, the only Black woman on North Carolina’s high court, spoke out about racial bias in her courtroom.

    Image in the same article.

    Photo from her Facebook.

    From Ballotpedia.

    Now, of course, white people are 100% fully capable of calling out racial bias. Anita is wholly in the right here and the commission is in the wrong. It’s just brutally stupid showing us she’s white and then claiming she’s black.

    OP, you should always include the title alt-text with an xkcd comic. Like so:

    Getting the utility people to run transmission lines to Earth is expensive, but it will pay for itself in no time.

    Ugh. This has to be the least Star Trek Star Trek I’ve ever encountered, why is it so popular? It directly contradicts everything we know about the Star Trek universe at every opportunity.
