Apparently a bunch of stuff happened while I was in meetings.

Biden thinks there will be a debt ceiling deal, he seems to be hinting that there might be some means testing (employment in this case) for some programs. I guess that is preferable to no deal/economic apocalypse.

In case that isn't enough, SCOTUS is letting the Illinois assault weapons legislation to stand. The article is offering some pretty wild ideas, like comparing today's gun laws to the gun laws when the nation was founded as a reason to overturn the legislation.

Edit: Forgot that Laura Ingraham is allegedly fired from her show on FOX news also...

With regard to the Illinois AWB, I think SCOTUS may have declined hearing it because there's several other AWB challenges grinding their way through district courts that may end up before the Supreme Court. I do anticipate that they'll have to rule on this one way or the other at some point, and if the Bruen decision is any indication, they'll likely rule that AWBs are unconstitutional.

Same.

I read once that he changed some of the words in live performances after he found out his version was less accurate.

Dude was super talented- if y'all like his stuff, pick up "Gord's Gold" on vinyl. It's a hits album, so it fucks hard.

"Sundown" is one of my all time favorite songs, and one of the ones my daughter 'stole' from driving with me. Other's include "Mohammed's Radio" and the emotional banger of "The Weight".

Article says they were Indigenous people's, so they might have had an understanding of the environment. Still utterly amazing, but it was an example of perfect accident, like that Air attendant who survived crashing in the Amazon. She grew up in the jungle, her mom was a scientist who lived in the Amazon with her daughter for years

I have much funnier airplane crash news.

https://twitter.com/KatieJ_Bernard/status/1658891807252512773?t=ngKqW1ga2AJyLCPoCKbJhA&s=19

But here's why it's funny. The chudfuck spent $120k of his own money on election truther bullshit, and gave this interview:

quote:

Gietzen, in an August interview with The Eagle, said the nearly $120,000 he spent on the statewide recount would likely complicate his plans to renovate the old Cessna [172], which he said he flew for the first time in the summer of 2022 after he put 15 years of work into it.

“My only drawback on this Value Them Both recount is that that airplane is going to sit and collect dust for a little while,” he said in August. “Well, not collect dust. I’ll just go fly it in uncontrolled airspace, and we have to put 50 hours on it before you can fly with passengers anyway, which is a necessary and good rule. I’ve already got so much invested in that plane, I want to get finished. I’m so proud of this thing.”

And so...

quote:

“The [crashed] aircraft was identified as a 1963 Cessna 172. The aircraft had flown from Newton, Kansas and was enroute to North Dakota at the time of the crash,” the Holt County Sheriff’s Office said.

What a dumbshit.
