Yeah, I really like the fact that my son and I can play different games from the same library at the same time. Also, the bi-directional sharing is very nice, and the whole thing is much easier to set up than the original library sharing.

Yeah, well, that's why it's anecdote and not data, right? Everyone is going to be a little different, but the trend is there 😆

My anecdotal confirmation is that I started having a lot more health issues in my mid 40s. My eyesight got a lot worse. I started having issues with high blood pressure and cholesterol. I'm about to turn 50 and things have mostly stabilized. Medication and more regular exercise helps. My eyes are still bad but they aren't getting worse as fast as they were.

Is anyone surprised by this? Trump is the same guy that spent 4 years demanding to see Obama's birth certificate because he didn't think he was a US-born citizen. That was his first foray into "politics" and it established both his loyal base and the tone of his public discourse.

Ah, give 'em the old Erin Brockovich. Nice.

What it's made from is irrelevant. Plastic doesn't break down in the gut and can cause dangerous blockages.

The thing I found most interesting about the whole interaction is that the first thing the police say to her when they make contact is "we looked around outside and didn't find anyone". Like they're challenging her to contradict them.

That is technically true, but it omits some very relevant information, i.e. that they found a vehicle parked nearby which had very clearly been broken into. That might not have happened that evening, but they don't know that. And they don't mention it when they talk to her. They instead start by saying that the reason she called (she heard a prowler) could not be confirmed. This statement sets up the entire tone of their interaction. There's nobody for them to arrest, so now they're clearly annoyed that she's wasting their time. They start treating her like a suspect instead of a victim. They want her name, her ID. They invite themselves in without cause and start looking through her house. It escalates from there, and ends in murder. The shooting officer then outright lies about the circumstances of the shooting, saying Massey was coming at him with a pot of boiling water and threatening him. She had put the pot down in the sink and was just standing in the kitchen. See, he'd turned his body camera off and didn't realize his partner was still recording.

This was a fucking extra-judicial execution.

Hemme had a two-year sentence imposed July 16, 1984, and a 10-year sentence imposed October 24, 1996, that were both supposed to run consecutive to the murder sentence, which the court overturned in June. Both sentences were related to violence while in prison.

Are you fucking kidding me? She already served 43 years for a crime she didn't commit. Now the AG's office wants to keep her in prison for charges that occurred as a direct result of her incarceration, when she has already served more time than the sentences combined?!?

I can only assume that they're looking for any possible excuse to keep her in because they're afraid of the looming civil suit when they finally let her out.

Note that the writer did not apologize for what she said. She only apologized for using Dolly Parton as an example of someone who is "unaligned with God’s vision for humanity". You know, because she doesn't tell queer people that they are going to hell just for existing.

I think it's hilarious that the Texas officials are trying to spin this as "We drove those evil child mutilators out of our state!" while SCH is just like "We never actually did any business in Texas. This doesn't impact us."

“It is appalling that someone would show up to an emergency room and not receive care – this is inconceivable.”

You keep using that word... I do not think it means what you think it means. This was all predicted as potential outcomes from overturning Roe. It's not even the first time, because this is what things were like before Roe. You know that quote? "Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it." I used to think it was kind of cliché, but it seems to be more and more relevant all the time these days.

Ohio law requires people running for political office who have changed their name within the last five years to include their former names on candidacy petitions.

That's not entirely unreasonable, but It seems like that's the sort of thing they should make clear in the paperwork when you file a candidacy petition. "Have you legally changed your name in the last 5 years for any reason other than marriage?"
