5 years after saving San Francisco, ‘Batkid’ is cancer-free

Five years ago, San Francisco was saved from unspeakable evil.

A 5-year-old boy dressed in a cape rescued a damsel in distress, defused a bomb and chased an archvillain around AT&T Park. The police chief dispatched his cops to help, and the mayor gave the little hero a key to the city.

Awesome! Do you think you might have trouble keeping it up? If so, pop by addiction/recovery for goons. We're a friendly bunch and have like 100 years of sobriety between us.

Thanks for the link. So far I feel like I'm doing ok. I'm starting a therapy program tomorrow and I haven't really felt the desire to drink since I knocked off. Hopefully that will keep up.

I can't find it anymore but there was a story in the Minnesota press about Omar getting beaten up in a fight that broke out at (iirc) a campaign event for a Dem they were trying to primary. Much like "AOC the bartender", chuds just assume she showed up to Congress one day all starry-eyed and with zero credentials, and they do it at their own peril.

The rowdy campaign event where she was attacked was back when Omar herself first entered politics in Minnesota. This article is a pretty good profile of her, up thru her election to the MN Legislature:

ebola has never been considered completely incurable. the problem is just that, for years and years, there was not money to develop treatments. now there are treatments :)

Yep. Tumblr made no changes whatsoever except banning porn and having a lovely bot try to do the work, and that was enough to kill the site.

*edit eh this is the happy thread im gonna spoiler this.

Cops do "okay" poo poo all the time because it's propaganda. It's easier for them to act like the pacifying army they think of themselves as if the people they are pacifying don't think of them that way. If you follow Imgur, for example, the regressive element there loves to post videos of cops playing basketball in between beating POC and planting evidence on suspects.

One of those Dodo clickbiat videos, but this is a good one: a guy rescued a squirrel caught in a hunters trap, had to have its front legs amputated, but he's taking care of it now and made it prosthetic front wheels.

Seriously watch how fast it starts zipping around once it gets the wheels. You can do this with healthy turtles too, if you put them on a lil toy skateboard they immediately start motoring around

One local supporter [Traitor/Conservative/Racist], Steve Marley, took to Facebook to express his anger against Shepard's offer, according to WNCN.
When I’m minding my own business and I get attacked by this guy and he puts out advertisements on his business chalkboard to promote violence on burning my property, then it’s not going to end well," Marley's post said.

Trying to parse this makes my loving head hurt. Conservatives are so loving stupid. Giving someone something for burning their own property is "encouraging violence" now? It's like he knows encouraging violence is bad, the other guy isn't a racist piece of poo poo, therefore the other guy is bad, therefore he must be encouraging violence.
