My grandfather used to drizzle his used motor oil along his fence to help control weeds.
I found that sentence as difficult to type as you might hope.

Thanks it will be stuck in my head for a day or two now. 😁
Do we as a society really need reminding don’t point weapons at police? Don’t do it folks.
Do we need a reminder that kids aren’t mini-adults, and they do stupid things sometimes? In any case, I’ll believe he pointed it at them when I see a video of it.
Hey I’ll give them some credit with that headline.
Not “13-year-old killed in police shooting” or “a 13-year old died during a police interaction” etc. Nope, they fully went with “Police in New York shoot and kill 13-year-old.” Thank you, PBS.
Also -
The shooting happened Friday night after officers in Utica stopped two youths at around 10:18 p.m.
One of them fled and pointed what appeared to be a handgun at the officers, according to a statement by the Utica Police Department.
I’ll be interested to see when that footage is released and what it contains.
Fuck if it doesn’t seem true.
Our Democrats would never let him win, and that’s before you even get to the Republicans. Republican heads might actually explode if we elected a progressive who dared to call themselves a Democratic Socialist.
Meanwhile, Democrats are also crushed under the thumb of all the money big business pours into bribery lobbying, and they have already made it clear twice that they won’t let him get on the ballot.
We’ll never get progressive policies or a progressive president unless the progressives infiltrate D to the extent maga has infiltrated R.
We’d just be disappointed again. The right would hate him more than Hillary and corporatist Dems still control the DNC. They wouldn’t let him win.
OTOH a common opinion I hear is that he probably has more capability for direct lasting change being where he is, and I can see that being true, so there is that bit of small comfort.
I’d give my life savings to see this from Sanders. Of course, then we’d lose him, so it would have to be part of his retirement announcement.
Microsoft has gone too far:
Just now, with this?
No idea why they’d think that…
How is it possible to be a member of the pre-civil-rights generation of white people and be so oblivious as to

She pretty much created her own bad reputation. Not just from this show, but it definitely cemented it. There was also a sex tape scandal, but I think it was wrong to slutshame someone for something like that even back then.
Her main reputation was always vapid, filthy rich, snotty socialite - she was hardly the first, but she might have been the first we got to watch in a seasons-long reality show.
Edited to add - if that stuff was all an intentional move to bring shame on her family for how they mistreated her growing up, I’m now her biggest cheerleader.
Yep. When I got out of bed this morning I would not have predicted this would be the day I’d have respect or sympathy for Paris Hilton.
It’s still an example of the American Christian mentality, even if this example is in Australia. Like Trump supporters are examples of the Nazi mentality even though they aren’t actually–ok bad example there.
It’s this absurd country of “Christian” values, except not the part of caring for others, “fuck that socialism hippie shit, except for Russia, which is cool now because they meddle in our elections…
Yeah, they don’t like that be nice to others, love thy neighbor, turn the other cheek stuff anymore.
And that’s not just a quip: An evangelical leader is warning that conservative Christians are now rejecting the teachings of Jesus as “liberal talking points.”
Unless your fiancee is also a homophobic bigot as a central component to her personality, then she’s probably OK with it.
I don’t support banning memes or the news either, but they aren’t under attack currently.
But those 8 men deserve it! /s
Just a reminder to folks emphasizing that retailers used that as cover for corporate greed, and a lot of it was lies. Various links:

Great quote from that Harvard one:

And don’t get me started on shrinkflation.
