Pretending that climate friendly beef is possible and then branding it 'Brazen' is some top quality trolling.

This is the same company who tried to maximize employee deaths during covid and is bringing back child labour.

Poor Russia, their morons are too stupid to get out of each other's way.

According to that NYP article someone was a few holes ahead of trump with an ak47, secret service shot at them and they fled, dropping the gun. The suspect was then arrested in a traffic stop a 50 minute drive away from the golf course. I'll believe it when I hear it from a credible source.

They were suicidal

I've not heard any reporting say this. I've seen internet commenters presume this, but just because someone engaged in an action that could result in their death, doesn't mean they're suicidal.

I don't think it's realistic to assume you understand the mental state of someone who's already proved they are capable of setting themselves on fire to make a point.

This article is bullshit from a disinfo website:

Alaska has been part of a push by Outside dark money coming from groups like UniteUs.org and FairVote.org to get ranked-choice voting in place in every state.

Republican voters, many of whom are not inclined to rank candidates. Ranked-choice voting favors the more malleable Democrat voters

This makes absolutely no sense. Not inclined to rank candidates? What the fuck does that mean? Humans rank things. We have preferences. Malleable voters is also absolute nonsense.

Ranked choice favors the candidate that the majority of voters support. Republicans oppose it because they want to win seats where the majority of voters don't want their candidates or policies.

Why would you think that people who have the courage to act on their principles would regret it?

The amount of self determination it must take to smell the gasoline and still strike the match makes me think that the people who do this are capable of living with the consequences of their actions.

The reason drug ads all say "may cause [list of terrible things]" ultimately traces back to thalidomide.

The system which requires the monitoring and reporting of potentially adverse events, even after a drug has got through trials is called pharmacovigilance. That's what generates the data those risks are based on and it was developed in the wake of the thalidomide disaster to help prevent it from happening again.

Is this singer legit nuts, or did they wheel out a dump truck of money?

In order to be able to appeal directly to the jury, the actionists then represented themselves in court and reminded the jury members of their right to acquit as a matter of conscience, regardless of legal argument.

This led to a hung jury. The state is expected to continue to pursue a conviction, with a retrial likely in February 2026. Palestine Action said this would create “another opportunity to expose who the real criminals are”.

The state didn't get the result they wanted so they're just doing it again. That's cool. Much legitimate, very justice.

Having thoughts of suicide is not the same thing as committing to an act of protest that may take your life.

Chinuk Wawa, also called Chinook Trade Jargon, is an incredibly simple language with like ~1000 words and basically no grammar. It's a pidgin of several native languages with some english and french influence.

The language was spoken by settler and native alike, until the railroad arrived and English overwhelmed it.

The Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde built a very nice app to help learn this very important part of our region's heritage.
