I saw some reporting saying that he somehow jumped out of the plane just before it crashed, but that makes no sense, and he’s quoted as saying that he has no idea how he survived.

Not to diminish the other grave consequences of this strike, but because of Trump’s tariffs and other erratic behavior, the U.S. economy is teetering on the edge of recession. This strike has already caused oil prices to jump significantly, which will almost certainly speed the onset and deepen the depth of the coming recession.

Collect $5 million, deport, rinse, repeat.

The saying “one bad apple spoils the whole barrel” rings true. Even if bad cops were only the minority, the overwhelming majority of cops tolerate the bad ones, rather than working to get rid of them, spoiling the whole “barrel”. Look at the Chris Dorner situation. His downward spiral resulted from retribution resulting from his filing of a report alleging excessive force by another cop. He was then targeted for retaliation, which ultimately broke him. The system is rotten to the core.

Protected bike lanes are key. I live in San Diego and can bike most anywhere, though protected bike lanes are only about 20% of the areas I ride. I put more miles on my bike than my car.

Yay, he raised taxes on the stuff we buy by 55%. Surely that will make prices go down.

I wish more people would be open about it. Alan Ritchson is one of the few Hollywood celebrities that has candidly spoken about his use of exogenous testosterone to prepare for his role as Reacher, but clearly so many others are getting help. I’m in my late 50s trying to add muscle mass, and it’s a huge challenge. I’d say that I’m better off than all of the men in this 1919 photo, but not by that much.

I’m “happy I only have to get out of bed to pee once per night” old.

“We thought he’d only hurt the people we don’t like.”

I remember my mother once getting an unfavorable decision in court (civil trial) and faked crying in court to attempt to reverse the decision.

That’s called a “pity ploy” or “pity play” and is commonly used by narcissists and sociopaths to manipulate people to get their own way.
