They've got one of the most successful organ harvesting operations on the planet, courtesy of a never-ending supply of low level drug offenders and the like that find their next state assignments serving as the low run of an organ supply chain for the highest bidders.

the les moonves report is a doozy:quote:Although the reporters did conclude that Moonves’ sexual misconduct came to an end in 2004 when he married Julie Chen, knowledge of Moonves’ behavior was still widespread enough in 2018 that multiple employees told the investigators about another CBS employee who was believed to be “on call” to provide Moonves with oral sex, and thus unfireable. The woman in question did not respond to investigators’ requests for an interview, but Moonves admitted to receiving what he described as consensual oral sex from her in his office, despite the fact that she was his subordinate. (The fact that Moonves’ behavior was apparently an open secret casts a terrible light on the board’s initial decision to stand by Moonves until his conduct had been investigated; Moonves didn’t resign until September, after a second round of sexual misconduct allegations.) Through his lawyer, Moonves reiterated his denial of all allegations of nonconsensual sex. A spokesperson for CBS’s board told the New York Times that the investigation was still in progress, and no conclusions had yet been reached. https://slate.com/culture/2018/12/les-moonves-sexual-misconduct-report-cbs.html

Can't the incoming governor or state government just say "gently caress you, we are doing it anyway" when these fucks are out of power? It's not like they actually care about rules.

haveblue posted:I'd be OK with a generation of rich people who cannot step outside of carefully controlled environments without horrendous breathing complications. You don't, like, lose your tolerance for CO2 by being exposed to less of it. All it would mean is that people who get to go to school or work in environments with lower CO2 concentrations would think more clearly and in general perform better at cognitive tasks while in those environments. So, for example, you'd probably see ever so slightly higher aggregate standardized test scores from those schools. Edit- To be clear, this isn't a thing where CO2 makes you stupid over time. Being exposed to high concentrations of CO2 literally just affects your cognitive abilities while you're being exposed. So the fact that there are indoor schools in the US right now where CO2 concentrations are in the 2000-3000ppm range is actually a huge issue.

also there's a lot of poo poo in these emails that's making it increasingly clear that Cambridge Analytica being allowed to steal the data of everyone's friends was a feature, not a bug if anything, the only thing that went wrong is that they were some nobody who did it without paying facebook for it, rather than the big developers that were directly authorized https://twitter.com/carolecadwalla/status/1070341826870214661

It's not like they actually care about rules. If Dems won control of the legislature then it wouldn't be an issue, but Republicans held control. The reason Republicans are doing this in the lame duck is they need the republican governor's signature before he's replaced with a democrat, who would veto.

If you're really part of the "#notall____" brigade than you get to kindly sit back and feel smug while the ________'s squirm. You don't have to squirm: you're #notall_____ right?

friendbot2000 posted:Well, to be fair, Americans have washed the KKK and their breed of homegrown fascists of any animus towards other Caucasian groups like Catholics, the Irish, Polish, Italians, everyone in existence and reframed their historical context as only hating brown people. I suspect a significant portion of the electorate has no idea that the KKK targeted white people(they reeeeeally hated the Catholics) as much as they targeted black people. In short, if you are "other" in these cretins eyes, then you have always been a target. American Textbooks are written in a way that really undercuts this and that does an injustice to fighting fascists because it leaves people with an out because "they aren't being targeted." Yes, this. I had great uncles and great grandfathers that killed Nazis and imperialist Japanese, but at the same time, even tho I'm white, I'm ethnically mostly Irish and Ukrainian, which are both groups that were out down and oppressed not too long ago. An attack against one person's humanity is an attack against us all.

Depends, it would probably go to the state courts and Federal courts really really don't like to stick their noses into state court decisions involving state laws and constitutions. If the the GOP is/was sloppy and the passage violated any open meetings requirements or the like the poo poo might maybe could get struck down.

What if we were to, and I'm just spit balling here, actually do something and protest or just ignore the loving draconian rules like the GOP does every drat minute of every single day? Like this insane voter fraud thing in NC where there are incredulously trying to turn it back on democrats, where they were caught red handed. Like what is the GOP going to do? "How dare you show up at my house and protest me completely ignoring the will of the people!" I'm so sick of these fucks just ignoring rules with no consequences, and we have to actually get things passed by being meticulous rules lawyers, and even then they just ignore it because they don't actually loving care. The GOP is that whiney kid at recess when you are playing who insists his character "can never be beaten because he has a shield that counteracts anything you do." gently caress them.
