Georgia senator can't handle student question about voter suppression, steals phone

An attempted conversation between a Georgia Tech student and Sen. David Perdue (R-Ga.) ended abruptly with the lawmaker snatching the student’s cellphone away while he was being asked about possible voter suppression in the state.

On Saturday, a student member of the Young Democratic Socialists of America at Georgia Tech approached Perdue, who was visiting the Atlanta campus to campaign for Brian Kemp.

Kemp, a Republican and Georgia’s secretary of state, is locked in a tight gubernatorial race with Democrat Stacey Abrams, a former state lawmaker. The race attracted additional scrutiny this week after the Associated Press reported that more than 53,000 voter registration applications were in limbo with Kemp’s office; the overwhelming majority of those applications were for African American and other minority voters, according to an AP analysis.

This feels like they are getting scared of losing.

I like the cut of this guy's jib. I don't know about "98%", but it's up there; it definitely normalized false-equivalence in my generation's discourse.

From a 2005 review:

It sheds light on an emerging new political viewpoint that rejects both the family values of the Christian right but/and especially the hypocritical, super-sensitive, self-righteous liberal-left.

And suddenly, Nazis. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thread on newish alt reich terminology.

So, the alt-reich has been playing way too many video games that they've lost touch with reality? To be expected given that gamergate shit.

I thought it more nuanced than that so I hope people read the thread for more depth. But at the very bottom of the issue, that's not wrong.

I thought Piers Morgan had posted a pic of himself which I got mixed up in my head with Pierce Brosnan because... Bond... and they sound alike. And I was all confused.

Pierce Brosnan? That doesn't look like Pierce. Wow he changed... He looks like Gary Oldman. What is he doing with a baby? Isn't he a bit old?

I like you Brits too much to say 'send him back' but does anyone think maybe Russia'd like Piers Morgan?

Possibly even more WTF than the usual 'big game' hunter story. US official resigns over dead baboon photo

"A photo of him smiling while holding a family of dead baboons, including a bloodied baby, sparked the most outrage among colleagues and online."

Belgian Air Force F-16 destroyed by fire during maintenance - Collateral damage on second F-16 - Aviation24.be



Whoops.

Whoops indeed!

Once upon a time *

When I was not much more than a kitten , I useta work on the weapons system of the F4e Phantom fighter Inna Hair Farce. There was one time when upon landing, for some reason, the 20 mm cannon fired itself and somehow several rounds ended up inside inside the nose.

I was sent out to examine it along with my stuperviser, and when we opened up the cowling? (I fergit, the name, gimmie a break, it’s been like 42 years n’ I’m stoned right now.... Well I was stoned then too, but that’s beside the point).

Nose cone?

Anyhow, we found half a dozen bullets and the same number of shells. I picked up two of each and got kinda chastised by a Captain who was apparently in charge.

Then he said the weirdest thing... “You can keep them, I just have to have an accurate count”

Best souvenir I got outa mai time in service. I gave one set to mai lil brudder who was about 14 at the time n’ he nearly had a nerdgasm. Tried to give the other to a friend n’ he was all like “wtf do I want that for?”

Assange Ordered by Ecuador to Shape Up

Ecuador has ordered Julian Assange to stick to a new set of house rules, including avoiding contentious political issues, cleaning his bathroom and looking after his cat if he wants the internet reconnected.

So on top of everything else I find detestable about Julian Assange, it turns out he is also a derelict pet owner.

This is Myf's lack of surprise.
