I thought oil was the problem?

Their point is absolutely valid. Their method is absurd. This doesn’t generate a dialogue, it undermines the point by enabling opponents to rightfully condemn the vandalism and changes no minds.

Attacking art or culture is counterproductive.

I’ve never seen one outside of a hotel before. Is it behind the fire?

A Norm reference made this much less depressing, thank you.

“Sorry our nation elected a bunch of morons”.

Being used to riding on flat land be aware of sight-lines being obstructed by the hill. “Hug” the fog line (not the centerline) in case oncoming traffic blows the turn an runs wide - this also enables a later apex so optimize your sightline in left handers (for right side traffic, not sure where you live)….also you may not be familiar with turning/elevation changes so take it nice and chill. Enjoy! Having gone from flat FL to mountains in CA it’s how to truly enjoy what your bike can do.

The employer is within their rights to terminate so long as it’s not on the basis of a protected class (gender, religion, age etc.).

I don’t agree that stating an opinion should be grounds but I do not believe they violated anything.

Even worse, she’s recognized for excellent work performance so you’d think that matters more….but nope.

Legally I’m not sure - symbolically he could do a lot. Call out the ethical judgement of Thomas and Alito for one. Recommend recusal. Hell, suggest resignations - if he were a principled Chief Justice that is, but alas….

The Chief Justice calling on him to recuse would be one. Even better - advocating for a binding code of ethics.

At the very least, meeting with Congress.

He refuses to even do symbolic gestures.

If Roberts had any principles or just a spine he’d set an example, instead the SCOTUS legacy is beclowned daily and he does not care. What a failure of a once vaunted institution.

Yes of course, but I expect the death was nigh instantaneous for thr victim so hopefully not so much as an “oh shit” moment.

They know perfectly well but prefer the revenue to fulfilling their journalistic responsibility and acting ethically.

When news is a product to market and not a social responsibility this is the result. They’re selling a narrative and horse race delivers profits - also their delusion that kissing the ass of the guy that calls them the enemy might save them could be a factor.

Shameful how their response has been to cower and equivocate and not report objectively and clearly.

Yeah….also curious. It’s been a couple of years but when I previously bought stuff from Monoprice it was a smoking deal and I’m pretty certain none of the cables I bought ever failed me.

The anarchy symbol rebelliously displayed on a rear projection screen, the pride of the A/V department, in a ballroom of a Hamilton Suites lobby somewhere. My youth recoils in horror.

Well geez things are tight but I’m sure I can spare some EABOD for these poor, unfortunate souls.

Cannon has no ethics to grapple with, she’ll quite happily do whatever it is she believes protects Trump. As with Alito and Thomas she’s blatantly biased and doesn’t appear to care at all about her oath or duty.

They’re flaunting their disdain for the very system they purport to protect.

Hesitant, forlorn and very much hopefully misplaced resigned upvote.

I want to dismiss your assertions out of hand as too pessimistic and cynical but…yeah, we let them win at least the battle if not the whole shebang.

My hope stems from kids today generally being kinder, open minded and not “tolerant” but actually coexisting with nary a thought. Better people will make a better world if we give them the chance to before fucking up beyond repair.

The problem is people on juries can (try) to disregard instructions. I served on one and was NOT the foreperson and yet was the only one to speak up when some insisted on raising hypothetical motives when the judge had specifically instructed us only to consider presented evidence.

“No, you cannot guess as to what occurred” I had to repeatedly say.

I worry that one or more jurors will rationalize instead of fulfill their sworn duty. I hope not but….

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Right?!?

….also, left?

Stay safe firefighters….take it nice and slow.

What an amazing gesture and selfless decision by a family living my worst nightmare. That is achingly beautiful.
