Nobody Cares: PRS

[Soen Eber]

That actually does make a lot of sense. In many smaller cities, a significant portion of the budget comes from fines. It makes people think of every interaction with the police in terms of what it is going to cost them, especially as fees compound when they can't pay, leading to bench warrants. And it doesn't help that those same cities often disproportionately pull over people of color.

Damn straight! If anyone's going to issue a fine, then leave it professionals like home owners associations.

Sorry, I'm just cringing at using a grill as an elbow prop.

At least he's not wearing something with sleeves, because that's never coming out

No wonder they have to live in a shed.

The ones up on the roof - do they leave them there? You know, in case they ever have a firefight up on the roof?

Why waste money on getting the roof fixed when you can spend that money on guns and use them to weight it down and stop it blowing off?

 

[Beebo Brink]

How to scream to the world that your guns have absolutely nothing to do with self-defense. Because a half-dozen guns would be more than enough for any practical purpose.

FT’s How To Spend It magazine rebrands as big spenders go out of style

Newspaper says possible definitions of renamed HTSI include ‘how to save it’ as cost of living crisis bites

www.theguardian.com

I think this is crazy, because the problem with FT isn't their title, it's their content. They've been over-commercialized with native advertising in recent years. I mean, I guess technically I don't know it's native advertising, because that's the nature of native advertising, but when the entire publication starts pushing Peloton stock down our throats when they're tanking, I think maybe it's time to reevaluate where you get your podcasts from. I used to listen to their podcasts daily, but I quit around 9 months ago, because of all the absurd medical 'breakthroughs' and stupid new technologies they kept hawking at investors. One less daily fluff piece on Meta's Horizons just increases my quality of life.

I mean, I still read FT's front page and browse the rest of their web site now and then, because they are still better than American media, but the FT is a shadow of their former self.

Poor Judy Larson is going to have a bad day when she signs back onto Twitter tomorrow. Her tweet was quote-tweeted more than 23 thousand times.

Judy looks like a satire account at a glance.

Mayyyybe. But I'm really not getting a satire account vibe from her tweets. More of a three-pancakes-shy-of-a-short-stack vibe. At any rate, #Judy is trending like crazy.

In retrospect, maybe you should have said you were auctioning an NFT of her tweet.

And some bad news. (Eh...)



Basically, the Libertarian Party has become angrier and even more of another arm of the Republicans. Better read on the topic:

Mises Caucus: Could It Sway the Libertarian Party to the Hard Right?

Members of the of the Libertarian Party (LP) are concerned about the Mises Caucus (MC) winning control of the party at the May 26 national convention, ushering in an era of collaboration between the U.S.’s largest third party and the hard-right movement inside the Republican Party.

"Libertarian Party" is kind of a contradiction in terms, but the LP has been "GOP, but pro-drug" since Ron Paul '88.

Split that vote, lolbertarians.
