The bar for ruling ‘barratry’ or SLAPP should be a LOT lower in the US legal system.

…of course first all of the King-like blanket immunity BS needs tp be repealed first…

As a Canadian I’d be fine if we broke the blockade to give a huge middle-finger to this insane regime. (Yes, internet-toughguy talk – I know the blowback to Canada here would be legendary and painful if we did so… so not realistic. But one can dream right?)

The Cuban govt has not exactly been a great beacon of human rights or anything, but the people who were unlucky enough to have been born there don’t deserve this. What a cruel thing to do to them. The US administration has no heart or soul.

I am beginning to think Epstein was entirely self-aware that someday even having met him at a dinner party or fundraiser, even unrelated to sex trafficking, would be poison for anyone beguiled into attending; and that this was the greater goal, to serve to poison the wells of social, scientific and political circles of the West, undermining trust in all aspects of power structures and institutions. Genius long-game by Mossad, FSB or whomever his masters were.

No electronic devices? OK, stock up on old 35mm cameras and film. And carbon paper / rubbings or whatever, copy as much as possible using non-electronic means.

Bring in a big box of silly putty, take transfers of as much as they can.

What does this mean? That other employees are going to be expected to give up their own vacation/sick leave to pregnant co-workers? The state is so cheap they aren’t willing to give them their own leave? WTAF.

Yeeks. Well, I hope it all works out for you. Can’t imagine having to deal with that. Sending good vibes!

Dang, I need a print of this.

Awwww. My wife says the same thing – our cats always know when she’s feeling off, and want to sit on her tummy :). She swears it helps her feel better too.

That might indeed be the result sometimes :). Doesn’t matter. Since the US seems OK with Amazon making their drivers pee in a bottle and docking them points for gazing away while driving, why not make police submit to full recording like this?

Definite Pickle Cat vibes! https://dn.ht/picklecat/

Bloody hell, why aren’t the Democrats doing everything they can to kick DeJoy out?? What a travesty.

Might be a good post for /c/LeopardsAteMyFace

How did religious people ever think he wasn’t just wrapping himself in the garb of piety to get elected? He was on tape talking about grabbing women by the pussy because ‘when you are famous they just let you do it’! Before the LAST time he was elected. Sheesh.

And… Scientology, on the issue of tax exempt status, really? Wow. Criminals. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Snow_White

The cameras worked by constantly recording even before the “record” button was pressed, periodically deleting any footage that hadn’t been intentionally recorded. Once the “record” button was pressed by the officer, it would capture the 30 seconds before the button had been pressed, thanks to this method of constantly being on standby.

But it was a hard concept for cops to understand. They weren’t being properly trained on the fact that their own cameras didn’t start recording once they pressed record. Hitting that button saved the 30 seconds prior as well, a neat feature that really bit them in the ass.

Maybe bodycams should randomly record even when the RECORD button isn’t pressed by an officer; and the pre-record time should be random from say 2 minutes to 30 seconds before. And the recording should stop a random 30-60 seconds AFTER they hit ‘STOP’. So they never know when they’re being recorded. If they’re not pulling illegal shit, they shouldn’t have any problem with that, right?

In fact, with storage capabilities nowadays, bodycams should ALWAYS be recording, period. Gotta go to the bathroom? Too damn bad. You’re a public servant. Trust the auditors to redact that if it comes to a court subpoena. You signed up for it. Extraordinary powers come with extraordinary sacrifices.

Jeebus Chripes. No wonder so many people say ACAB.

Aww would be a shame if a pole a few blocks up just ‘failed’ for some reason. :/ The cat could co-incidentally be free to climb down or be rescued during the totally unexpected outage!

I played Total Annihilation many years ago w/friends at a LAN party… good times (I always sucked at it, the name described my fate well :P)

Looks fun!

Good.

Let everyone you know that mail-in ballots are still an option… but educate them that they must bring the ballot to the post office IN PERSON, and ask the postal staff to post-mark it IN FRONT OF THEM. I have read (please correct me if I’m wrong!) that works around the recent regulation change that allows dropped-off post to be stamped when it’s delivered, instead of when it’s first dropped off, which is a rat-fucking tactic to increase the likelihood of ballots being marked late, knowing they’ll probably take many days from drop-off to delivery.

Good point. Sigh.

No argument there. :(

To those putting on their dancing shoes… there’s no point. He already did all the damage. Short of going back in time nothing will fix what he’s done. Unfortunately.
