Drink chat: I've been loving Dark and Stormy recently, dark rum (though I've been using Sailor Jerry's), ginger beer and a slice of lime. Smooth and perfect for summer political protection.

Welp, a federal judge just closed down the John Doe investigation into Scott Walkerquote:In his ruling, Randa sided with Wisconsin Club for Growth and its director, Eric O'Keefe, who argued that the "John Doe" investigation had "devastated" the group's ability to fundraise and engage in issue advocacy, and had limited it and other conservative group's participation in the 2014 election cycle. In his ruling for the conservative group, Randa cited several Supreme Court cases, including the recent McCutcheon v. Federal Election Commission, to say that issue advocacy speech can only be viewed one way -- as "protected First Amendment speech" -- and to cast doubts on the government's right to regulate it.

So remember when Reagan took solar panels off the white house because he was a spite golem? Well, the White House is finally just now getting a new solar panel installation. Basically a symbolic gesture, but I wonder how much conservative rage this will cause.

Whenever I am feeling down I just go check out all the cool stuff science is doing, because science is doing lots of cool stuff! Things that help: there is improvement in understanding and creating better solar power technology like every 3 days. Also lots of breakthroughs in quantum computing technology and understanding the science behind superconducting materials. Go make yourself a bit smarter and take a break from depressing political stuff now and then! Edit: alternatively, if you are more the schadenfreud type, check out the freeper thread and watch as insane racist/homophobic conservatives have their insular christian theocratic world fall apart around them. I suggest the past few pages starting around here to watch them lose their poo poo over Michael Sam getting drafted. Fuck You And Diebold fucked around with this message at 19:49 on May 11, 2014 |

Seriously people suicide is a terrible thing, besides if everyone who can recognize that everything is poo poo kills themselves it is never not going to be poo poo. Stop focusing on depressing political stuff if you feel like that, and talk to someone who knows how to help better than I do (loving do it).

SnakePlissken posted:Hey, whoever made the suggestion about reading Science Daily as an antidote for politics-induced melancholy had a pretty good little suggestion. I regret having not been there much lately. Thanks for that one!  I mainly check out the technology news section because I'm a loving nerd, but all of it is really cool. Highly recommended for anyone who is feeling down. Science is awesome and it usually is broken down in a way that even my political science major can still mostly understand.

Fried Chicken posted:New OP is almost done but I need to get to bed. If someone can find the post I made (I thought it was here but I'm not seeing it) detailing what is going on with reproductive rights where I talked contraception and South Dakota's abortion desert I want to crib that. Also we need a drink The closest I could find is a portion of a post of yours about abortion in North Dakota from the last thread here. That it?
