  • No, you’re right, I’m sleep deprived as shit right now lol

  • I only watch shorts from creators who I know generally make quality long form content (Red Nile NileRed, Miniminuteman, etc); then it’s usually something that actually is a short topic they wanted to present, not something they’re just trying to cram as much into it as possible in 60 seconds.

  • I’m talking about how Catholic priests can legally refuse to report child abuse revealed to them in confessional in most states, the subject of this post.

  • If what you need is a constant stream of ever-changing imagery that you don’t glance at for more than a second or two before moving on, I’m sure AI is great for that. So are jangling keys and those slime ASMR videos. But if that’s what you want from viewing or making art, you are an alien to me.

  • Do the Boy Scouts have a legally protected mechanism to talk with each other about their child fucking that I’m not aware of?

  • If you were born before 1989 in the US, this is your reminder to either find your childhood vaccination records or get your antibody titers checked. Before 1989 a single MMR vaccine was considered full protection, and something like 8% of people don’t achieve immunity from a single vaccine (falls to like 2% with 2 vaccines).

  • Congratulations. You fell for propaganda by stupid framing.

    No, you just don’t like their conclusion. The article explains what confessional is, which only alters your opinion of the case if you care more about the religious ‘right’ of a child fucker to talk about their child fucking in secret with someone who promised to not tell than you care about the wellbeing of the child victim.

    Your lawyer line of reasoning is also based on a misconception: that attorney-client privilege universally extends to knowledge of child abuse, outside representing a client specifically on child abuse. This isn’t the case, there are states where attorney-client privilege doesn’t apply in this scenario. Bar associations in general also allow breaking confidentiality if they have reasonable belief that someone is going to be seriously harmed or killed.

  • Employees quit after Florida bookstore reportedly removes LGBTQ+ titles

    Jump

  • While the headline says they all quit, in the story an employee says they were sent home with what is pretty obviously a threat to comply or get fired:

    A former employee who wished to remain anonymous told NBC News she cried when she was instructed by O’Connor to remove the LGBTQ+ titles. When she refused, the employee said she was sent home to reflect if she wanted to work at the store.

    This is arguably constructive dismissal, which does count as termination on the part of the employer. It would have to go to court to say for sure, but it’s not something I would fuck around with if I was employing people.

  • Luanne!

  • In context, she’s portrayed as dumb for it and specifically said she was going to vote communist because the guy was handsome. It’s not very flattering to her, and IIRC she changes (or is implied to consider changing?) her vote to Bush at the end.

    Now, what I actually WOULD consider a woke episode for the time was the episode about Dale’s dad being gay and working in the gay rodeo. This was 2 years before Bush’s re-election bait was to say he wanted to add an amendment to the US Constitution to outlaw gay marriage.

    Also the episode where Peggy winds up making friends with drag queens because of her enormous feet.

  • They got fired for refusing to pull the books and you think their boss (who is parroting right wing shit about protecting the children) is going to let them repeatedly bring up that they shouldn’t have been removed? You are writing fanfic.

  • Yeah, I was a kid when SNL was still airing those skits and they didn’t feel enlightened to me at all. Like, this is the same show that “joked” that Brandon Teena (who was already known to be murdered at that point) deserved to die for reporting his rape. Like, not as a shocking thing a heel would say, just a crass joke. It was hilarious to people then, that’s the environment It’s Pat is in.

    The 90s were fucked up, y’all.

  • I guess it can’t react to hitting a cyclist until an impact happens? Otherwise you’d have to worry about false deployments. It does seem like this could at least protect the head as a cyclist is thrown onto the car.
