  • The state’s Republican governor, Jeff Landry, signed into law last month a bill that requires all classrooms, in K-12 public schools and colleges, to have Ten Commandments posters with “large, easily readable font”.

    Given that Louisiana is 47th in the country for education, it’d be laughable if it weren’t so sad that the governor’s only reading-based concerns are “can they read the Bible laws?”

  • JD Vance in a bathtub stream for the Gen Z vote?

  • Hopefully this means that we can get him via a prison swap now.

  • A disturbing amount of western products are made using (what is essentially) slave labor. The US government maintains a list, but it’s got everything from bananas to bricks and brassware (and that’s just the B’s).

  • Did they merge Belarus and Ukraine on this map? Also Poland’s out here trying to be American.

  • Mary Xjimenez, a spokesperson for the state corrections department, said in an email that the woman was transported to a medical facility on Thursday and died on Saturday and that the “death appears to be the result of an ongoing medical condition and not heat-related, but will be determined by the coroner’s office”. Tyson Pogue, the local sheriff-coroner, said it was too soon to say whether the death was due to heat and his office would conduct an autopsy.

  • Author Stephen King would write his own form of penitence for Howard’s death, as well. Two years after his murder, an eerie recreation appeared in King’s 1986 novel It, in which three homophobic teenagers throw a young gay man over a bridge and into the same stream, where he’s set upon and murdered by the novel’s antagonist, a shape-shifting embodiment of fear named Pennywise.

    TIL It had some basis in (a tragic bit of) reality

  • The Trump admin isn’t planning to deport the few dozen Swedes overstaying their visas. I actually don’t think they wouldn’t mind boats of white pilgrims landing here today.

  • The thing is, these people always claim that their discrimination is “for the children”. It was never about the children, and always about the hate.

  • Not that tough

  • Hayman has cared for Star ever since he was a chick, carrying him around in his pocket. Once the duckling grew up, he developed a taste for real ale and started following his owner to the pub.

    I don’t know how to feel about this barkeep raising a boozy duck.

  • Boy, these conservatives are really something, aren't they? They're all in favor of the unborn. They will do anything for the unborn. But once you're born, you're on your own. Pro-life conservatives are obsessed with the fetus from conception to nine months. After that, they don't want to know about you. They don't want to hear from you. No nothing. No neonatal care, no day care, no head start, no school lunch, no food stamps, no welfare, no nothing. If you're preborn, you're fine; if you're preschool, you're fucked.

  • Crossfade that tag with another HTML element calling the clients cheap, which gets darker every day.

  • In a worst-case scenario, if heavy rain affects the Seine’s flow and increases bacteria levels, the triathlon could be changed to a duathlon, without the swimming portion.

    The marathon swimming competition could be relocated to the Vaires-sur-Marne Nautical Stadium in the greater Paris region, which already hosts rowing and canoeing competitions and can accommodate up to 15,000 spectators, organizers said.

    It would be crazy if they suddenly made the triathlon a duathlon, but it does sound like there’s a real backup option.

  • He’ll either be caught leaving Europe (please don’t fuck that up EU), or any EU country will ship him back, if he doesn’t willingly go.

  • Seriously

    Last year, several men incarcerated at Angola along with the New Orleans-based advocacy group Voice of the Experienced (VOTE) filed a class-action lawsuit alleging cruel and unusual punishment and forced labor in the fields of the maximum security prison, once a former slave plantation that spans some 18,000 acres. The men, most of whom are Black, said they use hoes and shovels or stoop to pick crops by hand in dangerously hot temperatures as armed guards look on. If they refuse to work or fail to meet quotas, they can be sent to solitary confinement or face other punishment, according to disciplinary guidelines.

  • President Lyndon B. Johnson once said, "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."

  • Maybe 2x check that math

  • Maybe one day we’ll learn to stop waging wars on nouns, the nouns keep winning.
