@jalefkowit The problem is neatly redefined: instead of “people are getting sick” the problem becomes “people are saying bad things about us — so Something Must Be (Seen To Be) Done.

The state parks department has closed the trail for a "deep cleaning," which for some reason strikes me as hilarious. I'm imagining state employees scrubbing each rock with a little toothbrush -
Sometimes you hear people say they've never seen a vice presidential candidate as bad as JD Vance, which is shameful Sarah Palin erasure@jalefkowit Dan Quayle would also like a word.

There is a Dunkin Donuts in my neighborhood where every single time I walk in to get a donut and coffee, the experience is like trying to get a seat on the last chopper out of Saigon@jalefkowit To be fair, didn’t they literally take “Donuts” out of the company name?

https://thebeaverton.com/2024/09/jagmeet-singh-asserts-independence-by-doing-exactly-what-pierre-poilievre-told-him-to/ - alas, when we most need Air Farce, we're reduced to the Beaverton.@mick @WJBL @npilon The fact that today’s massive own-goal by Singh wasn’t stopped by anyone around him demonstrates a troubling amount of groupthink at the core of their leadership team. A good leader would insist on being surround by people with a diversity of opinion and experience — and listening to those voices.
Even worse would be if he *did* have those voices present but overrode them. @monicarooney

White supremacists are trying to police Kamala Harris’s Black identity and Black speech. STFU.@riley @StillIRise1963 I’ve heard earnestly believed stories about East Germany from an academic friend who spoke at conferences in East Berlin.

White supremacists are trying to police Kamala Harris’s Black identity and Black speech. STFU.@StillIRise1963 @riley I remember an after-church social event (when I was a pre-teen & still went to church) where a couple of older congregants (improbably named Quartermain) had recently returned from a trip to SA. They went on & on about how wonderful everything was and how well-treated the Black South Africans were. Even then, I knew how ludicrous this was, and how carefully stage-managed their tour undoubtedly was. This wasn’t long before I stopped attending church.
