This is really calming. I feel the balance.

Right? Genuinely unbelievable.

I always have this link ready to go, because you would be totally reasonable in assuming it’s their main job, but our lovely Supreme Court says otherwise.

Edit: here’s a non-paywalled link

Pretend she’s going to lose, VOTE, and remind everyone you know to vote. Drive friends to the polls, help them with their mail in ballots (legally, please), and get your absentee ballot ASAP if you need one. Democrats have a massive disadvantage in the electoral college, so every. single. person. has to vote. No excuses.

I know that physical releases are having a moment, but a VHS? Really? That’s one format I’m happy to leave in my childhood.

Thank you. Politico needs to dial it the fuck back with these headlines.

Yeah, it’s pretty wild.

records indicate that four men ultimately arrived at the state-run National Bank of Egypt and carried away bags containing nearly $10 million in bundles of $100 bills. The money represented “what was then a sizable share of Egypt’s reserve of U.S. currency.” Source

Talk about suspicious…

Yes please, I’ll have one of those.

That’s a fair point, I appreciate it. Knives are a dangerous weapon, no doubt about it. They just don’t represent the same level of danger as a loaded gun. But your point is well taken.

Wait, I never used snapchat, so I could be totally off base, but don’t Snapchat messages get automatically deleted? Isn’t that the whole point? Haven’t they already been caught deceiving users into thinking their deleted photos are actually gone? This just seems so gross.

Cops are too quick to use violence. That’s just a sad reality. Violence is not necessarily the correct response to a violent situation. There are ton of techniques to deescalate even the most violent and dangerous situations. Granted, the NYPD isn’t trained in those techniques, so that’s a big problem, but the cops put the public in more danger than the danger the cops faced by this one violent individual. Personally, I would rather the police put public safety above all else, including themselves. I know asking anyone to put themselves at risk to protect another person is a lot to ask, but if cops aren’t willing to do that, then it comes down to us. And in that case, what are the cops for?
