Is Pickleball just the old Smashball... a big paddle and a squishy ball that doesn't travel far?

DeSantis is scheduled to be at this gun store on Thursday to push his book. :patriot:

EDIT: Snipped the link because it's from a right-wing shithead organization. ATF raided a big gun store called Adventure Outdoors in Smyrna, GA.

Has McConnell made any appearances since he was released from the hospital? It's been like two weeks.

Fetterman appears to be in fine fettle.

This seems newsworthy to me since there's so much talk right now about elected officials being unable to fulfill their responsibilities, and alot of that has been directed at Fetterman due to his medical problems.

Another Republican official has both been found guilty of being a horrible shitbag while also avoiding any accountability for his acts.

quote:

A member of GOP leadership in the Tennessee House of Representatives was recently found guilty of sexually harassing at least one legislative intern, likely two, by an ethics subcommittee acting in secret, NewsChannel 5 Investigates has learned.

Rep. Scotty Campbell, who serves as vice chair of the House Republican Caucus and who recently voted to expel three Democrats who engaged in a gun violence protest on the House floor, suffered no consequences as a result of his actions.

quote:

Despite accusations of sometimes extremely vulgar comments and other inappropriate advances, Republicans did not remove the 39-year-old East Tennessee lawmaker from his leadership position nor from his committee assignments.

But taxpayers have paid for his actions.

NewsChannel 5 has learned that potentially thousands of dollars have been spent to protect one victim, relocating her from the downtown apartment building where she and Campbell both had apartments, shipping her furniture back home in another part of the state and placing her in a downtown hotel for the remainder of her internship.

Legislative officials refused to say how much they've paid out, saying that information is confidential.

quote:

But a four-member ethics subcommittee, composed of two Republicans and two Democrats, came to a different conclusion, according to a memorandum dated March 29 that was sent to House Speaker Cameron Sexton.

"Based on the completed staff investigation, the Ethics Subcommittee finds that Representative Campbell violated the Policy" against workplace discrimination and harassment, the memo says.

It goes on to say that "discrimination and harassment in any form will not be tolerated," concluding that "no further information concerning this complaint will be released."

Under the Tennessee General Assembly's own rules, however, quietly placing that vaguely worded memo in a representative's personnel file is the only action that the ethics subcommittee can take upon a finding that he has engaged in improper conduct.

Ethics subcommittee members are also barred from publicly discussing their proceedings.

quote:

On March 15, the victim recalls, she went to his apartment to return a wrench that she had borrowed.

"He proceeded to ask how many men I've slept with," says the email to university officials.

"I told him zero, and he insisted that I was lying and told me not to lie. He then proceeded to ask how many women I've slept with and said he bets girls go crazy over me."

Then, the victim says, Campbell offered to give her cannabis gummies to see her tattoos and piercings.

"I told him absolutely not, and he begged me for several hugs," her email says.

"I was getting progressively more afraid and uncomfortable. He then reached out his hand towards me and grabbed me around my neck.

"I recoiled and said I felt sick and immediately left. That was the last night I ever spoke with or saw him. I blocked his number after that."

It appears that Tucker Carlson got canned. I can't understand why Fox would give the boot to their money-printing machine.

My apologies. I checked multiple sources and it seemed legit so I figured that it would stick around. I'll try to keep screenshotting in mind next time.

I guess we'll see if the time slot is the most important factor in creating an iconic Fox hatemonger. If it could do it for Carlson it can probably work for anyone they stuck in front of the camera at that time.

Who shoulders the cost of responding to the suit? Because of the nature of the claim is it against "Governor DeSantis"? Wondering if the state in general has to pay, or the office of the Governor, or...?

Not sure if anyone else has seen this but it's raw footage from Jan 6 released yesterday that shows that the person who was operating the camera feed that day did a good job trying to capture the face of everyone who was in the room. The vibe is so goddamn weird, like a big city bus terminal late at night after a sporting event.

Cops flood in at the 35 minute mark and bring the torpid event to an end.

How many years would it be before nuclear power plants could provide a meaningful percentage of what we get from coal and natural gas? I was under the impression that even if a program was approved today it would be decades before enough plants would be online to make a dent. Not that we should avoid doing it because of the length of time for implementation, but that someone like me would probably be dead before nuclear power generation can take over from the dirtier methods.

Here's how quickly France ramped nuclear power.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_power_in_France

That's roughly 150-350 TWh from 1980-1990, so 150TWh/decade.

In 2022 the US generated 2554 Billion kWh using fossil fuels.
https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=427&t=3

1 billion kWh=1 TWh

So at the same rate France ramped nuclear power, or would take us 2554/150*10=170 years to replace the entire fossil fuel capacity with nuclear power. We would need to do significantly better than they did, but we're bigger and it's 2023.

I don't have ramp numbers for solar to compare. I'd love to see them.

Thank you! Would love to live long enough to see things like neighborhood nuke pods or some such futuristic power generators that put an end to the dirty stuff.

This seems incriminating but I am not a lawyer.

Trump: Now I can't, you know, but this is still a secret.

Staffer: Yeah. [Laughter.] Now we have a problem.

It's strange to see a Fox toadie say to Trump's face "You lost the 2020 election."

I've always rented and I've been tracking my rent for a long time. From Fall 2000 to the most recent increase this month it's gone up 101%. Is that in line with the cost of living changes over that length of time?

License plate readers are being used by Sheriffs in states where abortion is legal to aid in the prosecution of residents of states where it's illegal. They're doing this even in states where it's illegal to share the information.

https://twitter.com/brat2381/status/1676986194012540930?s=20

https://news.yahoo.com/sacramento-sheriff-sharing-license-plate-133000119.html?soc_src=social-sh&soc_trk=tw&tsrc=twtr

quote:

According to documents that the Sheriff�s Office provided EFF through a public records request, it has shared license plate reader data with law enforcement agencies in states that have passed laws banning abortion, including Alabama, Oklahoma and Texas.

quote:

The Sacramento County Sheriff�s Office isn�t the only one sharing that data; in May, EFF released a report showing that 71 law enforcement agencies in 22 California counties � including Sacramento County � were sharing such data. The practice is in violation of a 2015 law that states �a (California law enforcement) agency shall not sell, share, or transfer ALPR information, except to another (California law enforcement) agency, and only as otherwise permitted by law.�

If people read the article they'd see it wasn't as nefarious as it sounded.

It sounds bad to me, particularly this attack against the EFF that's right out of the current right-wing extremist playbook.

quote:

The Sacramento County Sheriff�s Office did not respond to The Bee�s request for comment by deadline. On Wednesday, after this story published, Cooper took to Twitter to accuse the EFF of �protecting child molesters, fentanyl traffickers, rapists and murderers.�

In the tweet, Cooper said that the law allows his office to share license plate data with other law enforcement agencies and that �criminals are not aware of jurisdictional boundaries, much less state lines.�
