Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:- A college degree If he struck down the drat college degree, he could get any bodega cat on the the rest. I even think they could run across a keyboard and do more good than most of the Microsoft Office poo poo I see. I'd assume the cat would require a cardboard box full of peanut butter cups as a bed. Seriously, I'd wish they would come up with some better mechanism for accepting cats. I know some places treat them like poo poo and I would hope they could just do something to improve that instead of being either fined for the cat or fined for the rats.

NYC actually has "community cat" laws that consider a wild cat that is part of the community a companion animal instead of wildlife. NYC Mayors have a weird history of being obsessed with attacking certain animals. The rats are pretty understandable, but Rudy Giuliani's infamous obsession with banning ferrets and Curtis Sliwa's policy on letting kittens die rather than stopping the subway to clear them out are pretty hilarious. The sheer anger and rage Rudy has at this guy who loves ferrets and calls in to yell at him for being anti-ferret is still a classic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5l7d_3rkaX4

Youth Decay posted:I don't think there's any good in that tbh, his fans hang on every word he's saying and will just repeat it even further. We really don't need anti-semitism crowding the airwaves any more than it already is. I think it won't be unambiguously positive or negative, but he is definitely losing fans (and money) over this. People who have put up with a lot from him are finally cutting the cord. I also doubt he'll be able to find a whole lot of mainstream collaborators anymore, and his production deals are probably gonna dry up too, which is uncharted territory for him. However talented he is, he's long been the least interesting part of his own productions, so I don't see that working out very well for him. Now, that does still beg the question "To what end?" and I'm not really sure. Again, not necessarily a positive or negative overall. I have no idea if he was personally doing anything to make the lives of Jewish people worse before now, so in that sense it may have been better for him to just keep his mouth shut, even if it meant an anti-Semite got to keep making lots of money.

People who liked his music but thought he was an rear end in a top hat abandoned him a long time ago. Music industry doesn't give a gently caress though. People memory-holed Eric Clapton being a racist.

Jaxyon posted:So Kanye west is currently doin an interview on Info Wars and he's boosting Hitler and being so openly antisemitic that Alex Jones is pushing back on it. Some conspiratorial part of my brain thinks that Kanye has either of his own accord or in conjunction with all these folks decided to become a sacrificial monster in order to launder these folks reputations so that they don't look as gross and abhorrent in comparison to Kanye West, the horrifyingly godawful anti-semite who hangs around with other gross un-persons removed from society like Nick Fuentes and Milo Yiannopolis. Because so far both Tim Pool and Alex Jones have managed to just barely pass the "don't be as awful as Kanye West" test. Donald Trump failed it, but that's kind of irrelevant. I know it's not true by any measure, but it sometimes feels like it is, the way it keeps playing out.

haveblue posted:That was Joe “Kitten Killer” Lhota. Sliwa loves cats so much he owns 17 of them and brought one along to vote You are correct. I got the two Republican NYC Mayoral candidates who are obsessed with cats mixed up. One of them is extremely pro-cat and the other extremely pro-cat murder. World Famous W posted:drowning buckets aren't that uncommon of a warehouse/barn rat traps and people need to be less squeamish about killing vermin Yeah, but people flipped out when Adams introduced it. It is also a little weird for the Borough President to design their own deadlier version of a rat trap and be so proud of it.

DNC just announced that they will vote on the new primary schedule this weekend. Unclear what the first 5 states will be (plus, it probably won't matter this year anyway and will likely be different states in 2028), but the first vote is on whether to kick Iowa out and make Michigan the new first primary for 2024 and it is expected to pass. https://twitter.com/jmart/status/1598409086088912908

So it seems like they’re going to drag this student loan thing out for awhile https://twitter.com/scotusblog/status/1598405471278288897?s=46&t=qKthRu8WI2djJh2aBBT98Q If they’re hearing the case in February, no decision will probably be released until May/June

FlamingLiberal posted:So it seems like they’re going to drag this student loan thing out for awhile They actually agreed to expedite it. The non-expedited schedule would have been Fall of 2023 or Summer of 2024. Two months is very fast for the courts because they operate on a different timescale than the rest of the world. Just be thankful that you can't file continuances in the middle of a Supreme Court case.

Maybe Rudy was in league with big rat the entire time he was mayor and pursuing his anti-ferret agenda?

I've seen that joke elsewhere as well, but I believe if you tried to replace one pest with another a step up the food chain, it would only take one or two steps until they didn't have enough food to sustain a population.

Congrats to the Dem Trifecta for granting Railway workers a grand total of zero (0) sick days! Truly an incredible accomplishment. Progressives accomplished nothing as usual but were perfectly happy to allow the Dems to gently caress over labor, again.

Youth Decay posted:Can Bernie gently caress their poo poo up now? Sanders specifically evaded questions from the press about whether he'd block a vote on the baseline version of the agreement. He and everyone else knew this was a show vote because they couldn't get Manchin. Everything else about the totals is a set of hall passes and messaging.

Yes. That’s the point. A rail strike would be so disruptive that the rail companies probably would have given up the sick days to prevent it – and if they didn’t, the White House could have weighed in on the side of the workers to make them. Instead, it did the opposite, and rescuing hope for those workers fell to Bernie Sanders and to progressives in the House, who forced congressional leaders to move a separate bill to guarantee the sick leave they were asking for. As usual, it was the left that went to the trouble of fighting for labor after the party’s mainstream sold it out for the sake of convenience. cat botherer fucked around with this message at 22:30 on Dec 1, 2022 |

I really don't think I can fully express how despicable it is that they separated these bills. Jaxyon posted:LOL no they absolutely don't, and if it was close to passing they'd have been a No. You and I know it's not true, but there are plenty of other people out there who will be swayed by it. Besides, the reality isn't much better: Ted Cruz cares about workers exactly as much as Joe Biden, which is to say not at all.
