You too can tell #DonaldTrump he's only being raked over the coals because he deserves to be raked over the coals. https://action.donaldjtrump.com/msm-media-accountability-survey/ Seriously though, what a whiny little bitch.

I'm still not sold on this #Venom movie. I mean, how can you have the symbiote without #Spider-Man first? The Venom-symbiote goes through so many changes because of it's time with Peter Parker that makes it what it is before it finds its way to Eddie Brock via their shared hatred of Spider-Man. I fear this is just another failure by Sony Pictures Entertainment . They should have gone with #SinisterSix film as the villains don't need Spider-Man first. All of them came independent of anything Peter Parker or SpiderMan did and so no narrative flaws. https://youtu.be/xLCn88bfW1o

So ... in #TrumpNation Sasquatch-porn is a thing and might make it to Congress. Because #DonaldTrump has all the crazies coming out of the woodwork.

And his name is Denver Wriggleman. That's his name. Denver Wriggleman, Bigfoot Erotica Author. Will someone please let Dr. Chuck Tingle know that his stories are coming to life in really odd ways? EDIT: not kink-shaming him or equating bigfoot erotica to white supremacy. Bigfoot kinks probably never hurt anyone.

Everyone should read this post and the comments. #BlackLung Originally shared by Amanda Rachelle Warren Black Lung Disease (aka Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis which I learned to spell in third grade) is on the rise in coal miners, which means a rise in benefits paid (workman's comp, insurance costs, and disability income). SO, what does the state of KY do to combat the costs of this rising health concern? Do they start making coal companies adhere to tighter regulations that reduce exposure to high-levels of coal dust? Do they make coal companies pay more taxes and more into their own benefits system to offset the rise in disabling illness? OR, OR, do they make it harder to get diagnosed therefore keeping miners from their benefits and care? It's the last one. FUCK COAL COMPANIES! FUCK THE POLITICIANS IN THEIR POCKETS! And thank you advocacy groups fighting for the health and well being of Appalachians. https://news.vice.com/en_us/article/xwkzv4/coal-miners-ar...

Great article, if you have a few minutes. Of note, this quote: _“We have a Constitution founded on the principles of God, and a lot of them, the illegals, they don’t have that where they’re from and so they can bring in their beliefs. That’s what waters down what this country was founded on,” said Weaver, a tiler at an RV plant. “A lot of people say Jesus, he loved illegals and he didn’t have borders when he was on this earth. But, hey, it’s a different world.”_ The stupidity in this one statement is astounding. [1] No, the USA was not founded on Biblical, or Christian, principles. [2] The "illegals" have the same beliefs. A vast majority of them are Catholic or some form of christian denomination. Aside from excellent food, music and bright colors, the "illegals" aren't bringing in anything that's not already here. [3] Jesus (the character in the book, anyway) did have a lot to say about immigrants. All of them contradict Republican/Right talking points. [4...

I totally want to try this. Originally shared by Eric Albin Dammit.

Just walked into a room where four people, three women and a man, are sitting at a table discussing how all doctors are quacks, how they're not interested in curing illnesses and how homeopathy is better for you than a medical doctor. Some key statements: [1] no one ever died from cancer, they only die from chemo. [2] medical doctors need to look into alternative medicines as opposed to (scientifically proven) what they're doing now. [3] chemo was designed with mustard gas after WWI. Not my discussion and while I agree we need to broaden our horizons in regards to treatments (ie: marijuana as pain relief) to trust a homeopathic caregiver over an educated practicing doctor? I was just dumbfounded. One woman has a Master's Degree. One woman is a retired Marine officer. One has a great career (associates degree) and the man has ... a high school diploma. I really wish I'd had my phone up there so I could record a snippet of their discussion.

Wow. Roseanne Barr really is a horrible person. “I was afraid to go out, and also because when you’re called a racist and you live on an island full of brown people, it’s kind of terrifying,” she told the rabbi. “They lost a good friend; I clearly didn’t. I understand why [the cast] wanted to distance themselves because that’s how the blacklist works, and it’s always Jewish people, excuse me.

There are a lot of scary implications in this sort of AI social modeling, the least of which is how to stop the spread of atheism (the USA is well on it's way) and how to destroy an ethno-religious group that you disagree with.

Russian hackers targeted 50 states' voting systems and were able to get into a handful, view files, copy voter registration lists and ... while no one is admitting to it, possibly change votes. Of course, no state is admitting votes were changed (we have to protect the democratic process' integrity, after all) but the question is: would Russian agents have gone through all that trouble without meddling further? And what's your state doing about it? _But we know, without a shadow of a doubt, that these systems were targeted and breached. We know that Russian actors got inside. We know the DHS withheld information about this for nearly a year—not only from the public but from the individual states. Illinois admits that hackers unsuccessfully attempted to alter and delete voters rolls but the intruders were unsuccessful, partly because the state has a decentralized system.

Walking home from the fair. This is the road I live on, up beyond where you can see.

I've never been in an official motorcycle club. The group I ride with here is loosely affiliated and while we're referred to as a "club" it's more a social club with a riding problem than a motorcycle club . No need to pledge, no need to go through a probie stage and no dues. In fact, that's our motto: no dues, no fees, just riding . No president, no treasurer, no nothing, just people with a similar interest. A few years ago I was in Florida with my bike and a local club tried to recruit me. I told them I wasn't interested and the entire club stopped speaking to me altogether. I don't need that sort of tribalism in my life. https://www.hotcars.com/20-things-most-people-dont-know-about-motorcycle-clubs/

Who wants to help a brother out? I'm looking for a much easier way to turn an image from color to black and white, where the white is white, no grey scale, and the blacks are preserved. SO, for example, the lower image, I want all that brownish tone gone and just the black lines left. No greys, just a solid black and white. I've found an incredibly long and tedious way to get it done in GIMP, but I was hoping for a simpler more expedient way. Gracias, in advance.

#DonaldTrump's former campaign manager is having a bad day. None of Manafort's charges relate to accusations of contacts with Russia during the 2016 election, but Manafort remains in jail awaiting his Virginia trial later this month.

Do you know how magic works? It's very simple: the magician distracts you with one part of the show while the "trick" is being performed on another part of the show. You don't see it happening because you weren't watching the trick, but the show. This just happened to the American people. We were all focused on #DonaldTrump saying something stupid (again) that no one was watching when the Trump administration rolled back dark money protections. The good new is, this isn't codified in law, so it can be overturned with the next administration, but the bad new is, now any foreign interest in the world can plug as much pitch-black money into our elections as they want. It means, Trump's sugardaddy, Vlad Putin, doesn't have to be so discreet anymore. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/17/us/politics/irs-will-no-longer-force-kochs-and-other-groups-to-disclose-donors.html

Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesn't mean politics won't take an interest in you. ~ Pericles When people ask me why I studied Political Science in College I always give some long-winded answer regarding politics touching each and every aspect of our lives, but I'll have to remember this thousands year old quote going forward. It's much more succinct and to the point than any answer I've ever give. Oddly enough, it also parallels that other saying about the Devil (if you believe in such things): you may not believe in the Devil, but he believes in you . Of course, this also applies to your particular god or prophet, as well: You may not believe in/love Jesus, but he loves you . Or, you may not believe in Buddha, but he believes in you.

This about sums up #TrumpNation: And Trump’s shifting story seems to have been enough for his supporters outside the Beltway, too. Polls out on Thursday, including one from CBS News, showed that Republican voters are mostly in favor of how Trump handled Putin—likely one of the key dynamics keeping Republicans on board. That means that despite days of damaging stories, there’s no real incentive for Trump to change his ways—or the way he, and his White House, drives a message.

I remember reading this piece when it was on Forbes and am passing it along now so we can all read it again. What did Jesus say about abortion, the favorite subject of Jeffress and the rest of the evangelical movement? Nothing. What does the Bible say about abortion, a practice as old as civilization? Nothing. Not one word. The Bible’s exhortations to compassion for immigrants and the poor stretch long enough to comprise a sizeable book of their own, but no matter.

Did Russia's Vlad 'the Mad' Putin, or as #DonaldTrump likes to call him, "Daddy", admit to messing in the 2016 presidential election? Maybe ... ... maybe not. Technical difficulties aside, there’s further ambiguity. It’s unclear whether Putin said “Yes, I did” in reference to the question of whether he wanted Trump to win the 2016 presidential race, or in response to the question about whether he directed Russian officials to help Trump win. “You could interpret that to mean he’s answering ‘yes’ to both,” Mason told me, but “looking at it critically, he spent a good chunk of that press conference, just like President Trump did, denying any collusion. So I think it’s likely that when he said ‘Yes, I did,’ that he was just responding to the first part of my question and perhaps didn’t hear the second part.” In #TrumpNation it's best to have a cool head. https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2018/07/trump-putin-press-conference-transcript/565385/

The current #Republican party is #DonaldTrump's party, of that there is no doubt. They have stood by him, supported him and defended him whenever he has gone off the rails, embarrassed the US and condemned our ties and alliances that have kept the world relatively peaceful (ie: no more World Wars) for 80ish years. It seems publicly supporting Putin over the USA is a line many, but not all, in the #GOP couldn't condone, but will it last or will they return to Trump-love soon enough? In other words, Republicans looked the other way when it came to Trump's Russia views, as they did when it came to so many other things, from his obvious policy ignorance to his racist rhetoric to his "grab 'em by the pussy" tape. With few exceptions, including, to be fair, Jeff Flake, Ben Sasse, and Mitt Romney, prominent voices in the GOP declined to denounce Trump—and in Romney's case, he turned around and gladly accepted Trump's endorsement after being publicly humiliate...

There are many reasons to leave a church. One of them being you grew up and realized your religion was a child's fable. But this one struck me as hilarious: 5.  It’s OK to leave if heresy is being preached. Today, people give the title of heretic to anyone with whom they disagree, theologically. There is room at the table for numerous disagreements. However, heresy undermines the essence of Jesus’ teachings. There are hundreds of issues in which Christians disagree and that’s OK. Not every disagreement is heresy. When the argument changes who Jesus is, move away and bow out – quickly. Do modern Christians even understand the teaching so Jesus to begin with?

Because (most) Republicans suck, that's why. Originally shared by Lerato Majikfaerie US government voting to allow adoption agencies to discriminate against LGBTQ families #LGBTQ #adoption #HumanRights #US On Wednesday the US House Appropriations Committee passed an amendment allowing taxpayer-funded adoption agencies to deny LGBTQ families the ability to adopt a child based on religious objection.  “House Republicans are pandering to their far-right base at the expense of LGBTQ people and children in need of a home,” said Democratic National Committee (DNC) LGBTQ Media Director Lucas Acosta. “Rather than focusing on empowering families or uniting children with their parents, Republicans on the House Appropriations Committee voted to give child welfare agencies a license to discriminate against qualified potential parents.” The ruling would also allow adoption agencies to reject applications from and discriminate against interfaith marriages, single parents, or basically anyone the...

There is a moment in Return of the Jedi , just after Luke Skywalker's anger-filled rampage that culminated in Darth Vader's sword hand being sliced off where Luke, heaving from the physical exertion, has an epiphany. He sees the wires poking out of Vader's wrist area and then looks down at this own cybernetic hand. He had become his father. This is a pivotal moment in Luke's journey to the dark side and back. And, make no mistake, he did go over to the dark side as he gave in to fear, and then anger, and attacked the Emperor. Seeing his father's mechanical hand forced him to realize he was on the same path that swallowed Anakin #Skywalker whole.

Brake Fluid I was looking to top off my brake fluid and the little research I did (yesterday, on my phone) indicated you can't just "top off" your brake fluid, but rather you have to drain and replace the fluid every time. Is that right? I've never drained, or even bled, brakes in my life. I'd rather just top it off if I can and wait for a service or something to have these things checked and filled.

Two separate courts are limiting what #DonaldTrump can and cannot do via executive fiat when it comes to the immigration problem at the border. All this shows the folly of the Trump administration’s attempts to upend immigration policy. Mr Sessions may continue to use his prosecutorial discretion to file criminal charges against illegal immigrants. But he can no longer separate families or hold them in detention together for longer than 20 days. Executive fiat has been slapped down by the courts.

This is what happens when a judge looks at the letter of the law and not the intent and why we need to avoid those who strictly interpret what is written and who disregard what the law was trying address. Which is exactly how racists, bigots and other dregs of society have used the Religious Freedom Restoration Act to justify their bigotry. That particular piece of legislation was originally passed to ensure minority religions couldn't be denied their religious preferences (Native Americans smoking peyote, for example) by state or federal governments, not to allow assholes to deny baking a cake or giving the morning after pill. #education Originally shared by Chris Kim A Judge says there's no fundamental right to learn to read and write Few could dispute the importance of literacy. But children have no fundamental right to learn to read and write, according to a federal judge whose ruling in a closely watched lawsuit Friday left some disheartened and others raising questions.

This is one of the dumbest things I've heard of today. CBP are issuing lifetime bans to Canadians who are in any way affiliated with the cannabis industry.

Parking this here to remind me to watch it later. #FurthestRosefromAvalon As described on Vimeo: _Amy and Gordon got married on October 3, 2016. It was a whirlwind romance from the start, an adventure filled with tenacious uncertainty and hope. The relationship was violent and beautiful like a boxing match, but Gordon was dragged into the ring not realizing he was walking into a storm. He thought he had found forever so, pathetically optimistic, he ran head-first into the tempest. A nostalgic, hopeless romantic, Gordon chose to love Amy ignoring the pain she would cause along the way. What Gordon did not know then, and what would only become evident all too late, was that Amy and Lon Garner, a previous boyfriend, had never actually parted ways. Blind to the adulterous relationship, he struggled to understand why his marriage seemed so volatile. Then one day, for reasons no one may ever know, Amy conspired to destroy her husbands life. Amy and Lon - a former paralegal and a once-key wit...
