@GodEmperorDune I'm sure that went over well

Netflix gamifying watch time for kid shows, rewards viewing with badges

Even with no ads I guess they can still find a way to be exploitative towards children.

Though I guess shows like Trolls are still ads

> Russia’s floating nuclear power plant is not the first of its kind

lol hear-here /cc @Yuuki

> 7 states sue to end DACA, potentially jumbling its legal future

> The states challenging DACA are Texas, Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Nebraska, South Carolina and West Virginia.

nods, nods Wait Nebraska?

wtf lol

so threatened by the immigrants flying in on liberal deep state private jets from California

(Ronny Jackson is now being investigated for misconduct by the Pentagon)

Somewhere a media executive is having an existential crisis about refusing to admit fault but also craving ratings

Heh, turns out it being okay for him to be there was not the end of the story

some justice out of Charlottesville

me: abolish prisons

also me: it's extremely good that jacob goodwin is going to prison

@Unionhawk lol damnit Virginia @ "malicious wounding" instead of just assault & battery

Devastating to the career of foghorn leghorn esq

He's got a lot of cases coming up

That DeAndre Harris was found not guilty has really thrown a wrench into these guys defense I think

good thread about Amazon stuff

@Unionhawk Who's Jacob Goodwin?

Jacob Goodwin is one of the people who beat DeAndre Harris with metal poles in a parking garage on August 12

Okay, that's not something I'd heard of, and now have to look up.

Jury has recommended ten years and theraputic services, including "empathy training" but ultimately the court will decide for real at the sentencing hearing in August

@Unionhawk i can't even begin to imagine how many Australian work place rules would be violated by that

Incredible

@TimStone Nice! He's really libertarian isn't he

That's some funny shit too

@TimStone proposal. GOP and Dem should be renamed to Face and Heel. crossing the line would be way more dramatic

BREAKING NEWS! Trump became Heel after fall out with son, signified by steel chair in the face

Hmm, interesting

@TimStone love to streisand effect

i mean not exactly but close enough

I'm actually not sure it's possible to be more corrupt than Pruitt at this point. He's kind of checked every box possible of things you aren't allowed to do

@TimStone still not done sexual harassment yet iirc

but financial corruption wise he is definitely one for the ages

@GodEmperorDune or commit murder and cover it up with an abuse of power

@Memor-X I mean we can't be certain

there was that bond movie where they dumped a body that drowned in oil and i could see a similar thing happening

@TimStone i dunno how these guys rack up such huge debts

@GodEmperorDune for a moment there i was about to say it was Goldmember but then i remembered that the woman was covered in gold and there is a another bond movie with a similar scene but with oil

@Memor-X yeah I think it was a reference to that scene in goldmember

@GodEmperorDune i wonder which it would be, spilled crude oil from a refinery or gold obtained from various corrupt financial ventures

@GodEmperorDune Having just given the IRS a five figure sum I guess I can see how just…not opting not to do that…might add up, but you'd think getting that money would be more pressing for them

They made me file over $79 once upon a time you'd think $280k would take priority idk

@TimStone ripe for a pls help me budget meme

local gentrifiers to force nonprofit org Maslow's Army, which has provided free meals to those experiencing homelessness every Sunday for over a year, to pick a new spot in favor of their own entertainment programming

>:(

3CDC is the absolute bane of our existence

whenever there's something messed up happening in the city, you can usually trace it to 3CDC somehow

and that they were charging a permit fee to Maslow's Army before to begin with is absurd

and that they're just up and offering "well we have this other space that you might be able to use sometimes for 2.5 times more money"

Meanwhile, in Canada...

@GnomeSlice A keen interest or a key-n interest?

@Unionhawk i like how it's also an anti-fascism sign and they guy is trying to suppress by destroying it

@GodEmperorDune Indeed that jontron dunk was great.

@TimStone Not necessarily Nebraska, but:

> The mayor of another small town in a Plains state wrote about his mixed reactions in reading the piece. I know who this mayor is; he is from a state and county that went very strongly for Trump; and he asks to have his identity protected precisely so he can keep destructive national politics from undermining constructive efforts in his home town.

> immigration is helping us resolve many labor shortage issues

So basically if you have a place where lots of people are moving away due to lack of opportunities/big cities, sometimes there are growing immigrant communities there

The other common exemplar Fallows brings up is Erie, PA

But I'm probably totally overthinking it - it probably comes down to a Trumpian governor or AG.

@Memor-X Do it for the boys! Don't you want them to be proud of you?

This is also apparently another instance of the rare "not mad, laughing actually"

@Unionhawk doesn't really seem like news

Although to be fair

Neither is the goose thing really

@GnomeSlice thank you for your input

I did actually laugh at it on Twitter before coming in here

O_o

Apparently it’s being done to boost membership rather drive gender equality but progress in any case

@GodEmperorDune I don't know, I'm worried about unfortunate consequences as a result of pursuing more membership while ignoring gender equality.

You know, that "boys will be boys" nonsense.

@Ash Fine.

@Yuuki I mean the program already has a coed sub-org in venturing, so all this realistically does is expand that beyond 14-21 only

But it's definitely something that needs to be seriously considered

They have updated YP which reminds me I need to take both update my registration and take it, but idk what they changed

@Yuuki scouts gotta adapt with the times or go under

Boys will be boys kinda stuff will kill membership boosting initiatives like this just as much as restricting gender in the first place

@GodEmperorDune The problem is when adaptation involves real people. This is like "well, the marketplace of ideas will solve education". The thing is, these are children you're dealing and you can't just write it off as "well, we have to adapt".

@GodEmperorDune The LDS being less affiliated than they have been is I imagine quite an impact

@GodEmperorDune I'd rather some precautions being taken rather than solve things post facto.

I'm fairly confident at least in council and national level staff and volunteers

I'm slightly concerned about unit level volunteers

But that's something that councils have an obligation to help correct

So hopefully... This is a thing that occurs

@GodEmperorDune wtf is the deal with these people in the replies

Back in my day,

That's just all it is

Nobody cares about your day it's 2018

they're going all in

If you think the organization and the programs they offer is so good like I do then why are you against letting more people experience it

welcome to the 1930s

actually no, welcome to the 1890s

because women could vote in the 1930s, can't have that

It's just TPUSA stuff too because regretfully both me and Charlie Kirk are 24 year old eagle scouts

how does it feel being only 2 degrees of separation away from milo

I hate it

rekt

He took the wrong fuckin lesson from the eagle scout charge lmao

I keep forgetting it's a very real possibility for people to be younger than me now so he can get the hell off my lawn

@TimStone hey i can do this too

gives old man five to @TimStone

😎

RIP his moustache

@TimStone that’s more than generous of them, considering what happened

Indeed

😂

Rubio is Mad Online at an intern for using literal quotes he said

When the real issue is that he is incapable of being consistent in his point

Oh my goodness only Dowd had security clearance

This is incredible

Imagine being in the midst of the most consequential legal battle of your life and just going "Let's wing it"

@TimStone wooooooooooooooooow

only the best lawyers... that are incapable of security clearance

It didn't say the clearance was denied, just not granted currently

Yeah, it's entirely possible that nothing is wrong per se, it just takes a while to process, but uhh

lmao Paul LePage just getting owned left and right by the rest of Maine

@TimStone like maybe get the clearance process started before bringing people on board or announcing it to the media

You'd think!

Or pick people who were already on the shortlist for reauthorization or something idk

McGahn has a band?

lol there was a wapo piece a few days ago about how trump announces personnel changes before they are reasonably close to successful and that's why he keeps getting burned when they fall through

and of course they called it "fake news", and here they go again

I know that this borders on what we discussed earlier as "not news" but Matt Gaetz is the absolute worst US Representative and should get in the sea, so

it's posted on the hill I think legally you're good

although

one could argue that the entire outlet could be thrown into that box

It's true, they are Very Reputable News that can't associate itself with Such Drivel

@TimStone welcome to the resistance, middle schooler

Blankenship does what he knows best, digging holes

lmfao

Pathetic. Obama shouldn't have even won the prize, and you're out here trying to give it to the guy who backed out of even reporting civilian casualties of drone strikes

maybe... commanders of any army shouldn't be allowed to get nobel peace prizes...?

hmm

@TimStone obama won it for not being bush, presumably the next president will win it for not being trump

@TimStone I guess people are deciding on their own Maine thing.

@Unionhawk What if the army is equipped with @Ash's hug guns tho?

but yeah obama should not have won it then

@GodEmperorDune It would be hilarious if both presidents on either side of Trump won the Peace Prize.

I mean but didn't like

maybe him and kerry and the negotiating teams should've won it for the iran deal

kissinger get a peace prize

so honestly nothing has mattered for a while

whoa

the next peace prize goes to john bolton's moustache, because it made no one take him seriously with his warmongering ideas

I forgot he got a Nobel lol

Kissinger got the Peace Prize for enabling so many other people to potentially get Peace Prizes for cleaning up after him.

@Ash lol Jim is running for senate in Ohio

@Ash a child signed it instead of him

and or they figured flowers were a peace sign and whatnot

that's how you make a name for yourself in washington

you have a dumb looking or enormous signature

so it stands out on these kinds of pages

that's probably not too far from an actual thing

also anything proposed by steve king should just be bounced for the racist undertones

@Unionhawk john hancock's tradition

everyone's favorite "supplement that turns you red" salesman is having candace o and kanye on the show

is the supplement that turns you red literally a "red pill"?

yes

Ross Douthat was allowed to write an article again for some reason, but instead of linking to that please see:

@TimStone nice i RTed that like 6 seconds ago lol

Hah, someone else retweeted it too, go figure

@TimStone Amazing

oh dear the headline on the first take burnt my eyes

@TimStone That "I pointed out his American flag to my son, who said it should've been a Russian flag" tho

I didn't get that far tbh >_>

I'm not sure why anyone takes meetings like that in public though, let alone in this case

It's because the business lounge is filled with, ugh, common folk.

@GodEmperorDune Apparently not (<- but this is a silly take in its own right)

"Don't disrespect InfoWars because a lot of people fall for Alex Jones' scam!"

@TimStone lol is alex jones planning to talk about them and that's what he's hyping?

I mean I guess Kanye might have agreed to it and just thought she'd come with but idk

It's all silly

Shit :/

Someone screenshotted an Eric Garland take about Kanye and now my head hurts, time to close Twitter

> Biohacker Aaron Traywick found dead in a spa

(This is the guy that injected himself with the experimental cure on stage)

@TimStone iirc, more specifically, in a sensory deprivation chamber

Yep

Would not be my kind of thing, I'd nope out of getting into that

@TimStone Hopefully it was saline because otherwise this might be the Three Mile Island for biohacking.

Although conspiracy theories are probably abound with “well, someone swapped the syringe because he knew stuff about the Deep State” or something.

@Ash When I think of floating, I think of an inner tube, a river, and a cooler of beer...

@TimStone oh, because assault and battery is a different, lesser charge

Oh, really? I thought it was just VA's swap-in

But like why... With the different name instead of degrees like every other state

Well, I guess I knew it was different, but not really how materially so

Right

Virginia: It's Crazy

Probably good for Ramos that he didn't hire Elmer lol

Who has another trial coming up soon

I think another of these attackers

sentencing them to jail is good but has the judge considered ordering them to go in the sea?

That's never stopped us before.

That's fair, I wouldn't wish Paul LePage on the whales

I guess our only option is to launch him into the void

@TimStone let zod deal with him

@Ash and you have the tattoos to prove it :p

(in case you didn't notice i am still mad jealous of said tattoos)

🤷

@TimStone Urgh, plane was just obliterated :/

WHO LET ME BACK ON TWITTER? I don't even remember opening TweetDeck

@TimStone tweetdeck still exists?

Indeed

It's how I consume so much BREAKING NEWS at once

digitaltrends.com/cool-tech/harvard-woolly-mammoth-2018-update

Wot

what

Yea lol

It might actually happen??

I fOr ONe wElCoME OuR MamMoTh oveRlORdS

Reminds me of that persistent rumour that the Explorer's Group ate mammoth (they did not)

@TimStone let it go, let it go, don't eat mammoth anymorrrrrrrreeeeeee

Canadaland discussion on the Manoshpere, its societal and historical roots, and where it could go from here.

Huh 🤔
