More than three months after a U.S. Air Force airman was gunned down by a Florida sheriff’s deputy, his family and their lawyer are demanding that prosecutors decide whether to bring charges against the former lawman.

If it had been anyone other than law enforcement and if caught the perp would be behind bars.

i don’t know why people are so allergic to firefox…

To which I offered a possible answer. Does everyone have misconfigured operating systems?

The Best Web Browsers of 2024 | HighSpeedInternet.com

Mozilla’s Firefox browser isn’t known for speed. It falls into last place in most of our tests for Windows and Mac, and that’s okay. Firefox is more about security features than speed, which is ideal if you’re more concerned about blocking malware than loading pages in a flash.

Yep, I’d probably be wasting my time going down the uninstall-reinstall rabbit hole and would probably not find speed increases.

I love Firefox, used to use it all the time. Now it’s slower on Ubuntu than Brave. I mean slow as in irritating to use, click and wait.

…The sanctity of human life, the notion that it cannot be terminated without the highest justification, is what separates us from barbarism. …

Truer words have not been written, yet we see in the news everyday that crimes are constantly being committed. When we are judged (fit for death) not based on what we do, but rather with whom we associate, we are all in danger.

Cold war redux.

City Councilmember David Glasheen said that he “led an effort to decline the grant” because of a drag show that took place, saying he believes “it is wrong to target children and families with sexual content.”

Conflating gender, sex, and sexual content once again.

Makes sense to me. While it’s probably implied in Buttigieg’s point, I’d like to add there’s a level of contempt for the poor, and by poor I mean folks who are not wealthy.

Project 2025’s approach has been less fanciful and much more focused on policy detail. It rails, for example, against what it calls “abortion tourism” in California and other states and proposes a number of administrative remedies to track women who travel there because of abortion bans in their states, and to withhold Medicaid and other federal funding if California continues to insist that insurance companies make abortion part of their health coverage.

Air tags on every womb? Every pregnancy?

Maybe he’s looking at that AP-NORC poll?

Wasn’t what I had in mind. Why did the Crooks choose the AR15?

What other kinds of guns were found? I mean specifics. Handguns? Shotguns? Rifles?

I doubt very much whether republican and wannabe-assassin Crooks was influenced by Biden.

Carlson is just making a big deal about this because of the seeming emergence of Christian nationalism. Just trying to create a controversy, get his name in the news. What consenting adults do in the privacy of their bedrooms is their own damn business and no one elses.

Putting political appointees in place of today’s career civil service would be terrible. We live in a technological world and neither lawyers or judges can understand the finer points of things like environmental degradation, rocket science or brain surgery.

When I buy food, I’m one of the label readers. A minority perhaps, but with food allergies it’s important for me to know what I’m eating. One of the proposals is to change federal labeling requirements to a voluntary system.

I found myself wondering if he is a Christian. Per Wikipedia, he and his spouse are “members of The Chapel on the Campus, a nondenominational Christian church that meets on LSU’s campus in Baton Rouge.”

In Christianity, much ado is made about caring for the poor. Just saying.

…Believing he was being unjustly detained, he yelled and cursed at officers who put him in a restraint chair at the county jail.

When I was a kid my parents sent me to an upscale private boarding school. When we were speaking to superiors, we had to yell loud enough to shake walls. When we didn’t yell loud enough, we were punished. This yelling mandate/training went on for an entire year called the plebe year. Yet, when we yell in real-life adult situations, we are somehow considered insane and dangerous? Perhaps states should not allow schools to intentionally teach yelling as a compulsory-school training technique?

I could have sworn I read that Musk was a free speech absolutist. Freedom for me but not for thee?

I’m getting inject bleach vibes. Antibiotic resistance is a real phenom and routinely injecting farm animals with antibiotics is a fast way to evolve antibiotic resistant organisms.

I’d really like to see them pass some restrictions on religious proselytizing. I know they won’t 'cause 1st Amendment, but that’s what’s driving the anti-trans and anti-LGBT policies.
