ARMY OF DARKNESS is 81 minutes long. It retells EVIL DEAD II in about 3 minutes. Still has time for a whole slapstick Gulliver's Travels thing. Baby, this is efficiency

Our union contract has a clause that states employers "must provide all tools and equipment required for work" so forced 2FA to login to company systems may have just launched a grievance that gets all of our members phone bills paid for lol

This is frustrating, because they keep having variations on this conversation: Q: okay, can you pretend to think about these things the way I do? A: no. Q: okay but you have to. A: okay but I can’t. Q: look just pretend that I’m right for one — A: but you aren’t. You’re wrong AND stupid.

A. I don't subscribe to the concept of a lapsed reservation, so I can't answer that question. All right. Now, if there were a lapsed reservation, however, would you believe that treaty rights, nevertheless, are reserved in such lapsed reservation? A. I continuously decline to answer questions based on faulty assumptions. l All right, you're an expert, are you not, in this area? A. I understand the historical background, but just as a matter of intellectual reasonableness, I do not believe in following an analysis that starts with a faulty assumption. This is a matter of what I consider as an intellectually sound discussion; you don't build upon faulty assumptions. All right, now, Doctor, let me just say a couple of things in response. First of all, if you are an expert, you're entitled, in fact you may be required to answer hypothetical questions, okay? The second point, I think, is that although it may be based upon a faulty intellectual exercise, the opinion in People vs. LeBlanc does find at least one of the reservations contained in Article Third of the Treaty of 1836 has happened by virtue of the Treaty of 1855. Now, without asking you to give an opinion again on that question, I wonder, in light of what I've just said, whether you could tell me,as a hypothetical matter, what treaty provision in the Treaty of 1836, if any, would give Indians the right to fish under the treaty, free from State regulation or A. State control in a lapsed reservation, assuming that the lapsed reservation is merely a hypothetical? I will leave it to you lawyers to deal in hypothetical, legal speculation. Q. So you refuse to answer the question? A. I don't think that, I don't think that I -- yes, I think it's not proper for me to engage in legal speculation. I deal in historical documents. MR. GREENE: And I would add for the record the same objection that we made yesterday, that calls for a legal conclusion from this witness, and that's beyond her competence.

20 years ago in my college Environmental Science classes, we were taught that if we didn't effectively curb emissions, this annual temperature graph was going to look like a hockey stick And, well...

I'm not sure folks have realized just how crazy the second half of 2026 and 2027 will be for global temperatures – on the back of a record-smashing El Niño event. Here is my latest estimate of where both years will end up compared to global temperatures since 1850.

This thread - documenting the rapid growth of a new fire into Spokane, WA today - is terrifying. We’re used to wildfires in the Northwest but what’s happening right now in eastern Washington is not normal.

Spokane Rising@spokanerising.com · 4d ago

Holy crap. Level 3 (GO NOW!) zone now includes urban Spokane, south of Francis to Wellesley. Level 2 (GET SET!) zone now extends east of Division. Not to be alarmist, but at this rate, it’s not inconceivable that the Old Trails Fire merges with the Fairview Fire.

The diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.

The Diarrhea Lettuce Company Has Been Linked to Forced Labor

The lettuce-producing Taylor Farms was linked to the widespread use of prison labor before its involvement in a cyclospora outbreak.
