He hasn’t had anything to do with the company for years. His departure coincided with the company updating the menu as well, as he blocked all efforts to expand it.

Once he was ousted, they started offering different crust options (stuffed, ‘NY’ style, etc.).

Hopefully soon. The defense appealed the Colorado Supreme Court’s ruling, so the next step is the US Supreme Court.

It’s worth noting that special council Jack Smith has requested an expedited appeal for his case against trump to skip straight to the US Supreme Court. The Supreme Court has agreed to see their arguments in consideration, and there is precedence for this from the Bush vs Gore election.

Be interesting to see how the US Supreme Court rules in both cases. There is clear corruption/bias in some of the Republican members, but with that so brazenly in the open right now, I wonder if they’ll feel compelled to rule reasonably to try to reestablish their legitimacy?

Guess we’ll see soon enough…

I so hope the Supreme Court upholds Colorado’s ruling… It would be so amazing if this became a trend across the states.

Hillary vs trump was the first election in which I could vote, but I refrained on account of not wanting to vote for a giant douche or a shit sandwich. I will never make that mistake again…

I’m not a Biden fan, but I voted for him last election and will eagerly do so again this next cycle.

I also want to point out that the gap between the “lesser of two evils” has turned into the Grand fucking Canyon following trump’s attempts to overthrow our government to remain in power, and platforming on literal fascism…

It’s a vote for democracy or neonazi fascism. Period.

What kind of battle over cognitive dissonance must people like this face?..

Dude must have an Olympic gold metal for mental gymnastics…

Oh yeah, I was doing just that. I wasn’t saying the lore interfered with the gameplay at all. I was just relating to feeling like I can’t be bothered by extended universes.

He’s also married to an immigrant.

A buddy of mine got me to play Dark Tides and I had fun, but he kept telling me I needed to look into the lore of the Warhammer universe.

Looked into it and realized I don’t have the time or interest to get into such a fictional universe that feels like it has more depth than most religions. I feel like there could be a degree track for Warhammer historians…

Not hating on people who are into it. But it’s too overwhelming for someone like me who just wants to play games to clear my mind and distract myself. Also socialize.

Thanks!

There is a clear and pervasive difference in the way extremism manifests in the Right vs Left, and both sides are not the same…

You ought to read this section from a blog post I published today that pertains to this very subject.

Highlights:

In a study evaluating Left-Wing and Right-Wing domestic extremism between 1994 and 2020, there was one fatality as the result of Left-Wing extremism, versus 329 fatalities resulting from Far Right extremism in that 25 year period. [5]

The Far-Right movement is the oldest and most deadly form of domestic terrorism in the United States, and … the Far-Right is responsible for 98% of extremist murders in the U.S. [24] Furthermore, for nearly every year since 2011, Far-Right terrorist attacks/plots have accounted for over half of all terror attacks/plots in the United States. [21]

In the U.S., Right-Wing extremism was responsible for two-thirds of all failed, foiled, or successful terror attacks in 2019, and was responsible for 90% of attacks in the first half of 2020 alone. [21] Since 2013, Far-Right extremism has been responsible for more terror attacks/plots than the Left-Wing, ethnonationalism, or religiously motivated attacks/plots. [21]

Again, this is from this article I have written and you can follow the citations. I have ads turned off and don’t benefit in any way from this blog.

The Meidas Touch network has been saying this for a long time. I think this graphic of theirs is a great illustration:

It’s so blatant it is totally wild…

This makes me think of the Real Water hydrazine poisoning as another example. Or all of the PFAS pollution…

I’m pasting part of a comment I made a few days ago on a different post:

This is called implicit racism, and it permeates our society to a systemic level. Healthcare can be a good example, and the U.S. criminal justice system is the best example imo.

One thing that really drives home the systemic implicit racism in this country are studies that have people rate black and white men on how strong/large/muscular and threatening they perceive them to be. The black men were perceived to be more threatening and that use of force was more likely to be viewed as justified. Black and white Americans both perceived the black men to be stronger, taller, and more muscular than their equal-sized white counterparts. Source

Another study found that people view black boys as older than they are, and that they are more responsible for their actions than white boys, whose actions were more likely to be excused by the belief of childhood innocence. So our society essentially strips black boys of their perceived childhood innocence. Same Source

Also should definitely be pointed out that Black Americans are incarcerated at a nearly 5 times greater rate than are White Americans. Source

The absolute worst artificial flavoring to me is banana Runts. Literally gag-inducing. Someone showed me banana vodka they said tasted like it and I wanted to puke just imagining it…

Damn, that is so similar…

Thanks for the TIL.

Kendall Almerico, an attorney for the brewery, disagreed.

“Our company is made up of 9,500 people that are white, Black, Hispanic,” Almerico said, referring to the number of shareholders. “We have gay couples, lesbian couples. We have every single — anything you can imagine — in this company. Just like the United States military does.”

That language use not only sounds like bogus justification for thinly veiled bigotry, but it sounds like a disjointed sentence trump would mutter…

This is what happens when you’re an incompetent dictator/military whose only strategies are war crimes/genocide and throwing numbers into the meat grinder.

They try to take entrenched Ukrainain positions by throwing 100s at them to be slaughtered, hoping they will overrun them. If that fails, they try again! They literally have been sending their prison population to the front line to be meat shields for their infantry.

The fact that they have to supplement their infantry with prisoners tells you all you need to know about their incompetency and how dire their situation is.

This is why we need continued/more support for Ukraine. I want this to be over for them as soon as possible, but the US/NATO should see the strategic advantage of russia continuing to exhaust their resources and military/prison population being thrown into the meat grinder in Ukraine. The longer russia wages war with Ukraine, the more definitively impossible it becomes for them to invade any NATO nations.

I mean, let’s be real… it’s already an impossibility for russia to wage war with the US or European NATO countries alone… But it doesn’t make any strategic sense to stop supporting Ukraine in a fight against our greatest enemy, who continues to threaten their neighbors with invasion. Let them further erode their military, munitions, and resources. Then maybe they won’t be able to commit/assist in genocides like they have in Syria.

The Republicans fighting aid bills for Ukraine are just traitors. It’s in the world’s best interest to support Ukraine.

Don’t forget the brain drain once they officially declared war (special military operation) against Ukraine. There was a mass exodus of scholars and intellectuals not wanting to be trapped in russia.
