Perfect spot to survive the zombie apocalypse long-term. Any get in, just throw'em in the hole! every once in a while, when the noises from the terrible depths become a bit too loud, just throw down some accelerant and a molotov cocktail and you're good for at least a year!

Enough land for farming, using solar and wave/wind-capture turbines for power, baby, you got yourself a stew going!

I know that this movie will portray drumpf in a (rightfully) negative light, but even that isn't enough. I can barely stand this individual now, why on earth would I want to see him being portrayed by a handsome actor for an hour and a half or however long this movie is? I am sick of hearing him talk, I'm sick of people talking about him, I'm sick of hearing about him, I just want him to get locked away in a prison cell to rot away the rest of his intolerable existence.

I would need a movie to completely abandon portraying him in any light that could be construed as sympathetic or favorable. I would love to see a movie show drumpf in the same light that Inglorious Bastards portrayed hitler. Anything short of that is just giving this pathetic racist rapist more attention than he's worth.

Didn't learn about this until I moved into the area. Absolutely disgusting. I started writing a screenplay about it, but found it difficult to embody the racism needed to fully appreciate the destructive hatred that so fevered the perpetrators.

It began in earnest in the early 1960s, when a group of scientists embarked on a mission to drill down from a floating barge, called Cuss I, to the border between the crust, the Earth’s outermost layer, and the mantle, the next and thickest layer. Project Mohole, as it was known, was recorded by the novelist and amateur oceanographer John Steinbeck in an article for Life magazine. “This is the opening move in a long-term plan of exploration of the unknown two-thirds of our planet that lies under the sea,” he wrote. “We know less about this area than we do about the moon.”

A scientific endeavor started over 60 years ago, that has been producing real invaluable scientific data to model our changing climate, is being axed.

The NSF attributed its decision to end its funding to rising costs and a lack of financial support from the International Ocean Discovery Program’s partners. But many see the expenditure for the ship as paltry compared with its benefits. To put it in perspective, the total NSF budget for 2023 was close to $10bn (£7.5bn); the $71m spent on the Joides is 0.7% of that.

For the amount of discovery we're getting from the Joides, the cost of running it seems paltry in comparison.

A bill proposed to the House in July asked the NSF to use $60m to continue operating the vessel for at least three missions next year.

Hopefully this passes!

When I was a kid I did gymnastics, and skateboarded/rollerbladed. This combination of activities meant I was falling on my ass all the god damn time.

It also means that I am so accustomed to falling, that even as I age, those instincts survive, and in turn, help me survive. When I fall, I tuck, I roll, I break my fall with any number of instinctual responses. This has lead to me surviving some scary falls I've taken whilst home alone (off a ladder, in the shower, fainting once when I got up from a long squat), and I think will help me survive more in my elder years.

In August, the Fraternal Order of Police lodge that represents Chicago cops filed a lawsuit accusing Kersten and her top aides of leading dubious investigations and imposing unfairly harsh discipline on officers.

Later that month, Kersten fired two high-ranking COPA officials: Deputy Chief Administrator Matthew Haynam, a former CPD staff attorney, and Garrett Schaaf, one of several supervising investigators at COPA, who worked for years as a deputy sheriff in Osceola County, Florida.

Last month, Haynam filed a lawsuit claiming his firing was retaliation for raising alarms about COPA bias. A letter reportedly signed by 16 former or current COPA staffers said Kersten had “manipulated investigations to align with her own policy agenda” and retaliated against staffers who have complained about “bias and mismanagement.”

This sounds like an Onion article. Cops complaining to their oversight committee that their investigations are biased and unfair.

Like, Ok, Coppers 🤡

“Transparency isn’t always comfortable,” Kersten added.

I like this Andrea Kersten.

They definitely thought it was hilarious to keep drugs in that bag. However;

Officers on Tuesday night stopped a man and a woman driving a stolen car in Southeast Portland, and they found much more than a stolen car

They broke the most important rule. When breaking the law, only break one at a time. If you're gonna carry around your fun joke drug bag, don't do it while driving a stolen car.

Archbishop of Salzburg Franz Lackner described the show as “seriously offensive to believers’ religious feelings and convictions”.

Oh no! Not your feelings!

“This is an opera about the breaking forth of the repressed female libido, so we decided to have a lot of fun," the 38-year-old dancer told The Guardian earlier this year.

Here's a youtube trailer

that thumbnail pic makes it look like musk is wearing a nazi-esque (Hugo Boss?) uniform, and it's apt

Mr Martin, the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Defence, told the Dáil that “Israel is not listening to its allies in terms of progressing its agenda” and “seems to be [at] all out war”. He said the IDF’s actions were “unacceptable” with “destructive warfare” leading to community, health and education services being “destroyed”. He said Israel’s actions were “a clear breach of international humanitarian law”.

isreal fucking around a WHOLE LOT these days, pretty soon they're gonna find out.
