  1. LAPD shoots and kills at least 1 dog at homeless encampment in South LA ABC7.COM Police have shot and killed a chained-up dog at a homeless encampment in South Los Angeles. Apparently you don't have to say "police-involved shooting" when it's a dog that gets shot. You can just say what happened in the headline in plain terms. Interesting.
  2. Lawsuit filed against Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen challenging debt limit law as congressional standoff threatens default WWW.CBSNEWS.COM A union representing federal employees is calling the law governing the debt limit unconstitutional in a new lawsuit. Worth a shot I guess
  3. Content warning: graphic description of gunshot trauma: Man who witnessed Allen outlet mall shooting describes carnage: 'It's just unfathomable' WWW.CBSNEWS.COM Steven Spainhouer said he found a child, who survived while covered by his protective mother who had been killed. I've noticed recently it seems like they're putting more of these descriptions in news stories about this stuff, and I've seen more than one commentary site publish articles titled something like "What an AR-15 round does inside the body." I think people in journalism are as sick of this shit as anyone else, but who knows if that can actually affect change when one entire political party plus most of the Supreme Court still can't be bothered to give a shit.
  4. Not sure why the news media has to keep up with the pretense that these statements are being written by Feinstein herself.
  5. I kinda think Ring doorbells have been a net negative for society too. Republicans in Illinois were running an ad last fall that was just a voiceover put over somebody's Ring doorbell footage of a guy getting beaten up in the street outside. And it's like... yeah, that sucks, but presumably this is a thing that has happened outside of people's houses from time to time throughout human history and it's only now that your doorbell starts automatically filming it.
  6. The guy made a follow up post later that was even more fucked up. It turned out to be a little girl looking for her cat, and he wrote two separate times in the same post something like, "I was so mad that I just wanted to yank her by the hair", which adds a whole other dimension of weird to the whole thing.
  7. Biden proposes 30% climate change tax on cryptocurrency mining NEWS.YAHOO.COM The White House is trying to persuade Congress to pass a 30% tax on the electricity used in cryptocurrency mining in the next federal budget in order to minimize the nascent industry’s impact on climate change.
  8. Is the Debt Limit Constitutional? Biden Aides Are Debating It. - The New York Times WWW.NYTIMES.COM As the government heads toward a possible default on its debt as soon as next month, officials are entertaining a legal theory that previous administrations ruled out. It took them long enough to realize that this was the route they were going to have to go. They're coming a little late to the game with this with a month to go until the limit is breached.
  9. Will be interesting to see what the price point is, but it's way past time for the entire regional cable sports station model to get blown up.
  10. Don't worry, Dick Durbin is currently drafting a letter asking John Roberts to investigate himself.
  11. Just looked up what the "Fischer Trucking Emissions CRA" is and it's exactly what you'd think. Just lets trucks dump out a bunch more smog emissions. Cool.
  12. Every so often they would have a good price for something online, but going into the brick and mortar store was always a weird experience. It always felt somehow like the overall footprint of the store was huge but that they didn't actually have a good selection of any one thing that I was looking for.
  13. Prosecutor's memo said Hispanics get tougher plea deals; state attorney calls it a mistake WWW.TALLAHASSEE.COM State Attorney Jack Campbell said the document misstated his office's policy for plea bargains. "We're not prosecuting people because of race," said Campbell. Uhhhh, yeah, we had an explicitly racist policy for plea bargains. On accident though.
  14. Stephen King has a check mark despite not having signed up for Blue and Elon's admitted now that he's paying for it personally out of spite, I guess, because King criticized him. Which is basically an admission that most people see a blue check as a badge of shame. This dude's brain is soup at this point.
  15. Activist at "Cop City" training center site had 57 gunshot wounds, autopsy report says WWW.AXIOS.COM The results differ from those of an independent autopsy performed at the request of the activist's family. Jesus
  16. No right-wing social media alternative is ever going to take off, because people on the right don't actually want to have a discussion amongst themselves, they want to have an audience of punk leftist kids that they can try and trigger by being as obnoxious as possible.
  17. The fact that it's Walgreens is significant because their CFO admitted a few months ago that in the last two years they've basically ginned up a panic about shoplifting serving no real purpose Walgreens executive says 'maybe we cried too much last year' about theft WWW.CNBC.COM Walgreens acknowledged it may have overblown concerns about thefts in their stores after shrinkage stabilized over the past year.
  18. Not even just a single ad, but specifically it's a one minute long Instagram video that I never would've seen in my life had there not been a two week long right-wing media blitz about it.
  19. Texas judge Matthew Kacsmaryk did not disclose law review article to Senate - The Washington Post WWW.WASHINGTONPOST.COM The judge who delivered a high-stakes abortion pills ruling last week removed his name from a law review article during his judicial nomination process, emails obtained by The Post show. Hey look, it's a conservative judge hiding something damaging again. Who could've predicted.
