The pearl clutching about this kinda bothers me because they're missing the real issues. As a motorsport fan, I'm not worried about landmarks, etc. Street circuits are normal and catch fences are good. As long as stuff is done well, it's fine.

Monica Crowley: "We're gonna have 25 indy cars flying around the nation's iconic streets, going upward of 180 to 190 miles per hour" What could possibly go wrong!

I want to be clear here, I'm pretty against the weird sexist shit Ossoff is saying. Not because Harp deserves anything other than a quick and painful death, but because seeing women near a man in power and going "WHORE" is morally repugnant I don't care who women fuck, I care that they're nazi scum

The idea that you could say something that was "out of line" about anyone involved in this administration is absurd, they should all be overwhelmingly grateful that's the worst thing they've faced. So far

I know a lot of people who have cut off their parents. It's over shit like "I'm trans and you're personally friends with Ted Cruz" and "You said you don't love me my entire childhood and still say that, fuck off, I don't need you talking to my kids". Boomers are just entitled brats.

This has been a slowly metastasizing moral panic for years: Liberals, drunk on therapy-speak, are cutting off their parents over minor slights and miscommunications. There is little evidence of the underlying phenomenon and even less of the cause. Look at this egregiously thin nut graf.

Although exact figures are scarce, the number of people cutting off close kin — particularly children cutting off parents — appears to be rising. Some speculate that therapists offering a speciously easy solution to a seemingly untenable problem are to blame

It's important to remember that Kettle was a Naval Intelligence Officer. He's spent a big portion of his life using surveillance to kill people, often innocent people. He doesn't like oversight because he thinks abuse of surveillance is good. Judge people by what they chose to do with their lives

Seattle City Councilmember Bob Kettle had an emotional meltdown at a meeting this morning, calling Mayor Katie Wilson's decision to study police camera surveillance "unconscionable."
