Plz don’t shid on floor

And I can only imagine how they feel when empty.

We just watched “The Trap” last night. There was a major pop concert that ended in time for family dinner time during daylight. In the concert, they were depicted having time to make multiple trips to the merch tables and concessions, and in one of those trips, they talked like it was an intermission to change the stage set between songs.

It’ll be just like 2020: react after the damage is done and pretend they weren’t complicit.

You’ve been waiting for this moment…

One of the best feelings I ever felt was laying in bed the night after a car accident earlier in the day. It was enough of an accident that I was glad to reflect on it not being any worse, but it also wasn’t bad enough to injure anyone.

When I climbed into bed that night, I was seriously doing that thing dogs do when you take them outside and they flop and wallow around on the grass with their feet flailing carelessly in the air. That bed felt so damn good that night, and I try often to remind myself that it’s the same comfy and safe bed now that it was that day.

Just to be really clear, too, they’re looking at local effects (they say “urban microclimate”), not overall climate.

Whether we voted is not anonymous, but how we voted is anonymous. It’s just that our political leanings are pretty transparent in our personal data.

“AI” is the new “blockchain”.

Gotta rtfa to get the full context.

Even so, at least three county jails in Florida that sit within mandatory evacuation areas have decided that detainees will ride out the storm. These jails — Pinellas, Manatee, and St. Johns counties — have a combined incarcerated population of more than 4,000 people. Recent analysis from The Appeal found that more than 21,000 people are locked up at facilities in areas with evacuation orders ahead of Milton. An earlier investigation by The Intercept found that across Florida, 52 jails, prisons and detention centers face major to extreme flood risks over the next 30 years as such climate-driven storms intensify, the most among any state.

Florida has among the largest populations of incarcerated people in the country, more than 84,000, according to federal data — exceeding the jailed populations of entire countries, such as France, Germany, Malaysia, or Venezuela.

“With that number of inmates it’s not really possible, feasible to evacuate people out of there, and it’s unnecessary because we can go up,” said Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri on Wednesday during a press conference. He said the Pinellas County Jail, which has a population of about 3,100 people, is prepared to move people from the first floor cells to the second floor in the event of flooding.

“We have plenty of staff there, everything’s safe, it’s under control and I’m not concerned about it,” he said, adding that around 800 deputies and jail staff would be on hand. The jail sits within an area deemed Zone A, the most severe tier among evacuation areas, and is located next to a waterway that spills into Tampa Bay.

There are still systemic problems here, but it’s not like they just locked everyone on the ground floor and peaced-out, as the headline made me think.

Edit: I just want to add that the rest of the article goes even deeper in, in my opinion, undoing my outrage induced from the headline. It talks about facilities being weather-ready and built on higher ground, it mentions procedures for ones that aren’t, it consults a former FEMA official…

I want someone to project that map onto a globe to illustrate how ridiculous it was. The elegantly circular arcs of the north sides of those storms would look bizarrely teardrop-pinched, if I’m not mistaken.

One of them (Zoom I think) at least used to be able to pop up a request for attendees to turn on their mics. I was glad to see it required permission, and I was not glad to see the host must have clicked that request.

Are there still places that legally mandate car refueling operators? That seemed like a job that literally only existed to give some people a job.

Might have just found out about another?

If you’re on a “.gov” site, it’s safe to expect that it is a legit site of the US government.

And primaries are the “real” elections to get us there. General elections will continue to be major party A vs. major party B, with a “this is the most important election ever” backdrop, while primaries are where we have to try to get our important issues (like election reform) carried by generally electable candidates to get those issues injected into the parties.

And the amount of money spent on primaries confirms how influential they are capable of being.

Nice

It’s absolutely not enough time. Those are serial killers in the making.
