re: #23 Backwoods_Sleuth
Institutionalized racism takes many forms and is layered on centuries of mistreatment and criminal justice policies.
Cops are a tribe unto themselves, and they’re more likely to stop and mistreat persons of color than other groups.
Criminal justice disproportionately comes down harshly against persons of color. That includes cops who are accused of killing people while in the line of duty. Prosecutors will often make the claim that they’re following the evidence, but we’ve repeatedly seen that evidence lead to undercharging white cops accused of killing black victims and charging black cops to a greater degree - in an attempt to show that they’re “color-blind”.
Cops should be fired and prosecuted for murdering Nichols. That this is the exception rather than the rule shows how prosecutors and cops have institutionalized racism and still engage in racism even when the cops are also persons of color.
re: #37 Orange Impostor
Case in point: If these five police officers were white, do you believe for even a microsecond that they would be charged with a crime, much less murder?
Well Chauvin was. It may depend on just how bad the behavior of the cops appears on the video. For white cops, you have to be obviously murdering a defenseless individual.

Trump Has Completely Lost His Grip on Reality
Charles C.W. Cooke: “Let’s check in on the shadow primary for the 2024 Republican nomination. Nikki Haley is putting together a finance committee, and suggested last week that she’s ‘leaning in’ to a run. Mike Pompeo has just published a book called Never Give an Inch, and told CBS yesterday that he’ll decide whether to enter the fray over the ‘next handful of months.’ Governor Ron DeSantis has continued to pick winning fights in Florida since being reelected in a November landslide, and has stayed assiduously quiet about his future.”
“And then there’s Donald Trump, who, despite being the only candidate who has officially announced his bid, is … well, ranting like a deranged hobo in a dilapidated public park. No, don’t look at him — he might come over here with his sign.”
“There was a point in time at which Trump’s unusual verbal affect and singular nose for underutilized wedge issues gave him a competitive edge. Now? Now, he’s morphing into one of the three witches from Macbeth. To peruse Trump’s account on Truth Social is to meet a cast of characters about whom nobody who lives beyond the Trump Extended Universe could possibly care one whit.”

The National Archives is formally asking former presidents and vice presidents to re-check their personal records for any classified documents or other presidential records in the wake of classified documents discovered in the homes of former President Donald Trump, former Vice President Mike Pence and President Joe Biden over the last year,” CNN reports.
Remember trump made it a felony to mishandle classified dox
he signed Public Law 115-118
A felony to ‘knowingly removing classified documents.’

Some context - BWCA is the Boundary Waters Canoe Area in Northern MN and is adjacent to the Quetico in Canada. It’s a large wilderness area of over a million acres of lakes, forests, rivers, wildlife, and fish that is primarily explored by canoe (and occasionally kayak). No motors allowed and is adjacent/part of the Superior National Forest. There are plenty opportunities for day trips into the area but most people overnight camp and you can also hike in if you’re a bit odd like me.

How about GNU? GNU’s Not Unix.
I was working on a project where a tool was called “NINDY” for “No, It’s Not Done Yet”.
Has anyone seen this packaging yet? Is it easy-ish to take out a single can or bottle? I honestly never buy six-packs so I’m not even aware if soda pop companies are still selling six-packs with plastic rings.
This is the new replacement from @CocaCola for harmful plastic ring packaging long due for obsolescence. The primary environmental and social benefits in this change are accompanied by the incredible real estate created for storytelling, brand engagement, & communication. pic.twitter.com/mvU1l2qSII

Almost the entirety of this dinosaur—the skin, the armor that coats its skin, most of its body and feet, even its face—survived fossilization, amounting to what’s been called a one-in-a-billion find: https://t.co/2plvVTcCqa

Glenn Beck is perilously close to arguing that slavery was a bad thing, therefore all those confederate generals conservatives insisted stuff be named for were fighting for a bad thing.

I haven’t seen that yet in any of the grocery stores in the Los Angeles area. Still see the plastic rings on six packs of all sodas and beer.

Let’s be clear: Republicans have corrupted the Intelligence Committee, have been lying about everything for years now, and made a criminal President for four disastrous years.

Seriously?
If I was playing War Thunder, chose a T34/76, and had Leopard 2s or even M48s show up on the opposing team I’d quit in a second. Everything in my arsenal would probably bounce and they’s one shot me.
re: #159 Romantic Heretic
The Russians have a number of T-34s they use on display parades such as the Red Square events in May each year. A lot of them have been purchased from countries which were equipped with them during and after WW2 and they’re always looking for more of them, for parts if nothing else.

That’s “highly concerned”? Maybe about the flag, but certainly not his pregnant wife. Geez!
I like Amazon because I can shop for things I cannot get here.
Had very little problems and when I did it was a seamless fix.
So I had a memory jog of a certain candy.
Turkish Delight.
Long ago and far away I had some.
Like the fabled Argentinian strawberry fruit filled candy.
Uhhhhhhh.
So I ordered a box.
Got it.
Four flavors, very nice sugar bombs the first time.
Nice nice nice.
Ordered another, not from the same seller, but Amazon fulfilled. And only orange.
Because.
Even had a pop up ask if I wanted “ Amazon packaging” hiding what it was.
Yes. Good. Do that.
Came today a day early.
No packaging.
Just a box of candy sliding on the floor of a few trucks.
The flour coating was blowing out as you squeezed it.
I can return it.
No you can’t.
Yes I will.
So crawling through I talk to Shivanna from Mumbai and she is such a sweetheart (I hope) and we are smiley face and all good and warm and fuzzy and I must wait another week and such is small disappointments.
They were not going to accept reimbursement.
Thank you Shivanna.
Now I wait again for a small treat…..
bastards….
I imagine the call desks in India.
“What is a good American name?”
Steve?
Shivanna was a good one.
Now I wait…..grrr

Some context - BWCA is the Boundary Waters Canoe Area in Northern MN and is adjacent to the Quetico in Canada. It’s a large wilderness area of over a million acres of lakes, forests, rivers, wildlife, and fish that is primarily explored by canoe (and occasionally kayak). No motors allowed and is adjacent/part of the Superior National Forest. There are plenty opportunities for day trips into the area but most people overnight camp and you can also hike in if you’re a bit odd like me.
This puts Twin Metals (a copper mining outfit) by Ely on hold for 20 years but does not directly impact PolyMet mine (a copper-nickel mine) south of the area but still in the watershed. News article: mprnews.org
Copper mines are nasty. I lived between 2 of them in NM.
