"what a loving week" said the thread, every week, for the next infinity weeks (i just tried to catch up on news since Thursday and SO MUCH happened in 3 days that I barely got it all). This is so exhausting, and my main takeaway is that all republicans are scum from top to bottom. Not surprised about Gianforte but still grossed out, horrified by the pdx stabbing and so much more. Is auto-donating to the ACLU and other orgs and then hibernating forever an effective #resist because it's all I want to do.

So it looks like the CA Senate passed the single payer bill. Does the CA house have to approve it now? When should I move there?

Yeah, it goes to the Assembly, they're supposed to create a funding plan, and then it goes back to the Senate, where it needs 2/3 majority, because it involves taxation and we did a dumb thing by requiring that 2/3 majority years ago. So we'll see if it survives. It may not. But it's a good symbolic move, in the meantime.

I'll start convincing my wife now. Too bad we literally just moved to Illinois. WEST COAST LIVIN HERE WE COME! Even if it doesn't pass, at least we'll be in CA.

Here's a neat little something people should read about the DoE, going into the stuff it does, the severity of what can go wrong, and how Trump's people in the DoE are doing their level best to maximize the outcome of something wrong happening in the worst of ways.

I'm confused, is the Tucker thing about bats being blind but spooky real? I can't tell anymore what is reality and what has broken from it.

Look at the loving oaf at around 0:35 basically high five his loving cop bro after blasting that dude with a beanbag or canister. This is why nothing with the police will change in any reasonable timeline.

Has there been literally any GOP response to PR in general or to Trump's disastrous handling? This is so beyond horrifying.

He had no reason to modify anything for full auto, nor has there been any report beyond speculation based on sound that anything was modified for full auto.

I've fought in chain mail (and partial harness too). You are basically invulnerable and you can literally wade through unarmoured scrubs like you were mowing the lawn. My experience is from historical re-enactment (with live steel, none of this SCA poo poo-tier raffia weapon nonsense). I've done dark ages, Roman, 15th century middle-European and 17th century ECW.

Proper 6-into1 mail with annealed links instead of costume standard twisted rings basically stops anything. It stops impacts by locking up and becoming locally very stiff under pressure, and your arming jack underneath stops the links from imprinting themselves on your ribs. I've been hit at full whack by a spear and I was knocked off my feet but basically didn't feel the impact itself and my mail was still intact.

yes this is fascinating but how difficult will this be for us normal folk to craft after america falls to ruin?
