The fact that in some instances the legal system does work according to the invocation of a magic phrase makes it so much harder to deal with the delusions of sovcits. The right to remain silent should be just that. You don’t have to say “I’m invoking my right to free speech” every time before opening your mouth for it to count.
I can imagine what the author might mean by those things, but the key word there is imagine.
Didn’t think I’d ever see an article that should have been a video instead of the other way around!
TIL two people can’t do the same thing.
Oh, did this start January 20th? That’s probably news to Gazans.
By the time you’re old enough to ask “why,” they’ve subjected you to enough propaganda to ensure it doesn’t even occur to you to do so.
This is what every news article about an assault or murder of a queer person used to be like in the 00s and earlier. Then after the local queer community spends ages protesting (if there was one, and who knows how many murders flew under the radar this way) maybe someone eventually gets a slap on the wrist charge.
Maybe they’ll update these stories soon, but it’s not a great sign when they’re not even discussing the husband’s account. (The other stories, not the one you linked)
According to his husband’s posts on social media, these neighbors had subjected them to homophobic harassment and threats to burn down their home before now. And when they returned to find the skull of their dog out in plain view and started to cry, the neighbor came and killed Jonathan. His husband said he blocked the shot and saved his life.
What do you fucking do about a community like that? These people don’t exist in isolation. It’s scary as fuck and a heartbreaking way to start pride month.
I’m sorry to report that a lot of American conservatives are like that IRL as well, and it’s not new. After public opinion turned on Nixon, conservative talk radio as a genre was formed to make sure that never happens again. Social media has only made it worse, if anything.
The online conservatives are just more likely to be obsessed with niche political stars and topics, but for the most part they’re drawing from the same well when it comes to talking points.
Key words in that sentence: give you those things. I doubt the lord tech bro could do any of that if the apocalypse happened tomorrow.
Even the janky version requires skill and knowledge, and if he doesn’t have the crude then both are useless anyway. Building a hole in the ground with motorcycles doesn’t help you when you depend on a highly connected world to fuel and maintain it.
Where are you getting the gas, Steve? Gas is only good for a few months in storage without treatment and a couple of years with it. Have you never read a fucking book?
Dude must smell like the inside of a vet’s office.
The Atlantic article indicates PBS executives were involved with the decision and removed it from PBS.org, which an affiliate station presumably couldn’t do.
Is POV (the PBS series) not a nationwide, PBS produced program rather than an individual station program? The Atlantic article mentioned at the end talks about POV having a trans gamer themed episode canceled because of potential backlash.
As the Trump administration intensifies its attacks, PBS has bent the knee in another way to dampen potential blowback by removing a scene in an Art Spiegelman documentary in which the graphic novelist Spiegelman discusses an anti-Trump cartoon. PBS also pulled a gaming documentary with trans themes, only to relist it after The Atlantic asked about its deletion.
Sounds like it’s not just the local station engaging in shenanigans.
Anyone who thinks the inclusion of trans people in public life is a battle worth laying down can kiss my trans ass. I’m not a bank, my donations are drawn from a limited well, and I’m perfectly fine with moving that money to a trans focused cause instead.
God dammit, PBS, right before pride month? They already took your fucking money. Why should my trans ass be donating to make up for it?
The finance class seems unhappy the US credit rating went down.
This crypto guy was definitely supposed to be dead after they were done with him.
My mom was bipolar, but since she grew up in the 60s and 70s her experience probably isn’t going to match your son’s much. Especially since she didn’t even get a diagnosis until her mid/late 20s, after having symptoms for years.
So, the not sugar coated version of what I experienced: she was a drug addict, alcoholic, and would alternate between abuse and neglect. I’m sure part of that was no/wrong meds for a while, plus it culturally just being more okay to smack your kids back then. I saw a lot of screaming and arguing and crying that I thought was normal. She and my dad lost custody of one of my siblings for a while.
So that’s what poorly treated bipolar disorder can look like. That’s the bad place it can go if he decides he doesn’t need his meds anymore and there’s nothing wrong with him, which is made worse by the fact the meds are supposed to make you feel ‘normal,’ and some people prefer the mania to ‘normal.’
It’s absolutely manageable for many people, especially if he stays on top of his meds. It may not mean that he never has symptoms or that they don’t change, or that they never temporarily get worse or better. If he isn’t already in therapy that’s something you should really encourage, because meds are just one tool in the box, not the whole set. You mention a psychiatrist, but they manage meds rather than the emotional aspect, and it’s important to see a psychologist or therapist at least for a while on top of that.
If I could hold down a button to clean my shower you bet your ass I would.
The lack of a sparkle and a ding when you finish cleaning something is a major mark against real life cleaning, as well.
