Apparently the Clermont County library system won't stock R rated movies which starts reasonable then a board person used brokeback mountain as his key example which is telling lol

(they were also convinced that we wouldn't be there which, guys, you really think we won't show up to a library closure threat in the area)

@Ash doesn't help when the west splits yuri between shoujo ai = "all ages" and yuri = hentai/porn. so to some everything here is porn despite the fact Seven Seas doesn't release h manga (though some of those series does have more adult stuff like one of those titles has one chapter were 2 girls have sex with one another for the first time but the actual "sex" like one page)

@Unionhawk i thought brokeback mountain was PG-13

@GodEmperorDune I'm just going by what I've heard, they also complied with complaints about lgbt book displays in the past

But no it is R

lmao

Just incredible work not even photoshopping out the Target tags

Those radical socialists and their pricing things right daily

Oh wow they might not totally screw this up

"Hahah yes the other side does actually want you to die"

I'm surprised "Mike DeWine wants to take away Medicaid" hasn't come up in the governor race

Because uh

He does

That was a major feature in their primary

We'll kill the expansion

ARRESTED FOR POSTING

@Unionhawk for a moment there i thought this was about that pedo guy rant he's getting sued for

Imagine facing civil, criminal, SEC, and NLRB actions for your posts

@Unionhawk elon_smoking_weed.jpg

@Memor-X nope he is doing all the things

Democrats lose a state seat because the candidate was, as I understand, bad as hell, so gg everyone

@Ash yeh all i got out of it was the onebox on twitter

> Tesla is under investigation by the US Department of Justice following chief executive Elon Musk’s claim last month that he had secured funding to ta...

i assume it was about to say Tanks

Here's an alternate article

@Ash outline.com/JtPuan

🤷

dam, wanted to link to a news article or tweet on this but in light of Coles removing punnets of Strawberries (some places for $3.90) from shelves because of the whole thing with people finding needles in them, they have started to stock punnets of already cut strawberries for twice the price at $7.50

Trump: Hurricane Florence is "one of the wettest we’ve ever seen, from the standpoint of water"

@Ash yep

keep in mind, these are like sewing needles not the injection kind.....which isn't too much better

(with regard to the agreements just signed by North & South Korea)

It's not what the US was demanding though, of course, because that was never on the table 🤷🏼‍♂️

Not Judge, one of the other guys who says he was named as being there even though we haven't been told publicly who else reportedly was? 🤔

@Unionhawk lol come on

@TimStone goddamn

Further reporting states that the deputies attempted to get the women out but since they were chained they were unable

(as an aside they have refered the case to the State Law Enforcement Division, officially titled as such and thus obnoxiously referred to as SLED)

@TimStone this seems like a common thing that would happen when transporting prisoners in a hurricane

@TimStone yep all the venezuelan targets have signage and products in english

must be a byproduct of the socialism

They can't afford translations on account of the socialism, clearly

lol, that accidentally reminds me of the public/private company nonsense, whew

We really need better education

lol Trump is tweeting about the tentative Korean deal and basically giving it the thumbs up and Bolton is going to have a heart attack

@TimStone lolololol i forgot about that

@TimStone only the best deals

Right? There's just so much mind-numbing stuff it kind of all blends together after a while

@TimStone oh shit this gets way worse

Ah yeah, I didn't realise that wasn't in the original tweet

strawberry crisis = finding needles in strawberries for those who don't know

@Wipqozn This should be illegal if it isn't already

@Nzall At a minimum I'm sure it's considered artificially inflating prices

There's probably no law against selling the same product twice though because that's what airlines do

Seriously fuck airlines

Good morning this is America

@TimStone queue dramatic music and various close up pause shots of everyone being in shock

and now we cut to the commercial break

Heh, did he accidentally tweet a DM?

Including $3 million in payback

Ugh :(

@TimStone another “imma ignore laws I want but mainly for pedophilia”

Hm, yeah, if that turns out to be credible it raises the question of how they found out? Ford reportedly told no one, right? So either one of the men responsible ratted on themselves or someone else at the party heard it happen and didn't intervene?

@Memor-X facepalm

The infographic is a little misleading in that "largest group represented" is kind of a weird data point but the article actually gets into the proportional disparity

> But he added that enrolling minorities is challenging, often for reasons beyond the manufacturer’s control

While I don't accept this as a carte blanche excuse, it's probably true due to discrimination elsewhere that makes participation more costly for PoC

@Ash @Memor-X Thankfully since it's regular news and not opinion/investigative/deep dive it can be found lots of other places

@Ash And apples.

has a stroke

@TimStone What do you think, troll account?

@TimStone wat

@puzzlepiece87 Uhh in the sense that they're not Democrats for Hogan, at least

@GodEmperorDune I DON'T EVEN KNOW

@TimStone it's like a segue i would use in writing a middle school paper

"you know what else is gorgeous, my vision of the wall"

Now that I've finally gotten past the absurdity of the connection, the "And I was there, I made the speech" like we all didn't know and talk about that "Hoorah 9/11" fist-pump photo is something

bbc.com/news/world-asia-45572275

So this is a thing that happened

How did the pilot that flew the plane to Hong Kong not notice this?

lmfao

Get in the sea

That's not breaking CNN, we covered that last night

@Unionhawk they were mental health patients

> Mirai botnet creators praised for helping FBI, won’t serve prison time

@TimStone Oh wait this asshole founded Hatreon too?

Into the void with ye

@TimStone Thanks for posting this.

throws hands up and walks out

Ah, you would think that

But I'm now legitimately not sure he doesn't think maybe the boat is actually theirs

I mean I thought so too but either he thought the "What's the law?" follow up was also a joke, which is possible, or he's like "Ah maybe it should be 'it ends up on your property you get to keep it'", which seems...also possible

/cc @Yuuki on that horrible pun

@TimStone So if immigrants end up in the US we get to keep them?

Holy shit now we know why he was locking up kids

tfw you're Papadopoduped

Isn't IBM in Madison?

Yeah

The company in question was WTS Paradigm though

Texas: Not giving af is also bigger here

@TimStone Oh yeah voter turnout is horrible.

If everyone who registered to vote in Texas actually voted, Democrats would sweep the state.

But Texas has been solidly red after Nixon and the Southern Strategy.

rubs temples

!@#$ing Shalala

Love to be a winning candidate when you can't even run University of Miami competently

They're just so bad at everything I don't understand

@TimStone Ugh, Oklahoma's not much better

Ugh, today is just a very unpleasant day

@TimStone "Well, we carried this district by 20 points last time around, about the only way we could mess up is if we choose a candidate that doesn't represent the electorate at all." - Democrats, probably

probably not surprising, but mark judge (the guy that allegedly helped kavanaugh assault prof ford) is into MRA things

@TimStone yeah this is overall fuct

@TimStone i'm surprised that california's turnout is so bad given how easy it is to vote in the state

maybe just a scaling thing

also terrible UX on that wapo page for not allowing typing into the state picker

i'm not scrolling down all the way to texas

@GodEmperorDune I would guess that there is a correlation between the population political bias and turnout.

If your state/district leans hard in one direction, your vote matters a lot less because the outcome is almost guaranteed

I mean, voting in the presidential general election in CA is pretty much a complete waste of time because we're so far away from being a swing state

It's pretty impressive how long of a wait time Texans have on account of none of them voting

@murgatroid99 Very good point.

@TimStone I personally have never had wait times, but I live in a relatively upper-class, majority-white neighborhood.

And one that predominantly votes Republican.

One of the few in Houston. Most of the other districts go Democratic.

Yeah, I live in a reasonably affluent area too, and also Delaware, so I have to wait about 0 minutes

Helps that I can go in the middle of the day as well

Same for me.

relatively upper class, majority white neighborhood

can vote right away at local city hall

city is very small area

Due to St. Louis suburbs being extremely fragmented due to white supremacist history (and present)

I don't think I've had significant wait times the few times I've voted here. I don't actually know what the demographics are where I live, but my rent implies that it's pretty affluent.

> 1 dead, 4 hurt — including police officer — in shooting at Fayette County magistrate's office

Alibaba is no longer bringing its promised 1 million jobs to the US, saying the promise was based on assumption the US and China would have "rational trade relations"

It was kind of hand-wavy about what they were going to do anyway but uh now they don't have to

@TimStone That was blatantly obvious given that pretty much every big corp in China is basically required to have relations with the central gov't or else they're going to have problems.

Everyone should've seen the writing on the wall when Trump announced tariffs on Chinese goods.

Oh, definitely

(Arlett has like 0% chance of winning over Carper)

BUTTERY

MALES

I am curious what will tank his candidacy though!

k? 🤷

SACRILEGE

Not sure we did that yesterday?

@TimStone lolwat

It was omitted from the transcript provided to the Senate, fwiw

Obviously doesn't mean anything in particular but god he just seems so unlikable
