The end result sounds awesome. I would totally listen to that on its own.

That is the most important tool in my kitchen.

I substituted a knife for the spoon and I feel like it still came out ok.

Not the deep dive I expected to go on today. Thank you, bottle scientist.

It’s a beautiful building but it’s frightening to see in real life. A monolithic lair for some unseen unknowable horror.

It’s called Hell Comes to Frogtown

It was backwards hair that did it for me.

And probably more relevant today than it was back then.

No, let’s forget yinz.

I love you 💋

Jesus Christ, everybody just block this fucking guy.

If you haven’t read the thread, don’t bother. Trust me.

I think it was to prevent family legacies making the office more like royalty.

Until now I wasn’t aware that giant armadillos were a thing I really wish existed.

I think he had built so many bridges with so many people in his community and in politics that no one wanted to be the one that turned against him.

Jim Jones is such a fascinating character because of how much good he did. He fought for social justice, championed racial equality and tried to help the poor. He was beloved by his community and civic leaders. But…behind the curtain he was an abusive megalomaniac that led hundreds of people to their death.

This exists in a few places in the US under the term “rent stabilization” but it is not tied to interest rates or inflation and exactly who qualifies gets a little murky. Considering that housing is a basic human necessity I think some form of rent stabilization should exist everywhere. Market forces have their place but they are often disadvantageous to lower incomes and should be curtailed when we’re talking something that people can’t do without.

Well, if anybody is an expert on poisoned kid’s drinks it’s Jim Jones.

Not all laws are just. Sometimes our society and government must make corrections to unjust laws (see your example of weed possession). If a felon is a victim of an unjust law then stripping off them of their right to vote silences a crucial voice in making these corrections.

It also opens the door to persecution, creating and enforcing laws that target undesirables, removing their voting rights to further a political agenda or garner political power.

Further, it’s another example of how the American penal system is punitive and not rehabilitative.

It’s best not to decide what citizens can and can not vote based on specialized criteria because who decides that criteria?

I’m with you until that last one. No one should lose their voting rights short of losing their citizenship.
