If this cat did in fact lose half of his business, he is a moron, and this is a nice reality check. His joint is in a tiny town of fewer than 400 people, in the middle of nowhere MN. Of course people going up to their cabins from the Cities are not going to stop there after seeing his billboard.
 

Gonna leave this Piers Morgan interview with Eric Weinstein here....it's fascinating stuff....
 
Aus PM chides musk :)
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese hit back at Elon Musk on Saturday after the tech mogul called his government "fascists" for proposing laws that would fine social media giants for spreading misinformation.

Australia introduced a "combating misinformation" bill earlier this week, which includes sweeping powers to fine tech giants up to five percent of their annual turnover for breaching online safety obligations.

"Fascists," Musk posted Thursday on his social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.

But Albanese fired back at Musk on Saturday, saying social media "has a social responsibility".

"If Mr Musk doesn't understand that, that says more about him than it does about my government,"
he told reporters Saturday.

Mussolini's grand-daughter quits party for being 'too right wing'

The granddaughter of the Italian dictator Benito Mussolini has left Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s ‘Brothers of Italy’ party as she believes it is too right wing on LGBTQ+ and other minority rights.

Rachele Mussolini, who is a city councillor in Rome said she was joining the centre-right Forza Italia.

Forza Italia is part of the Italian government’s ruling coalition, but is seen as more liberal than Meloni’s party.

‘It is time to turn the page and join a party that I feel is closer to my moderate and centrist sensibilities,’ the 50-year-old told the Ansa news agency.

good for her but what a weird headline :)

MAGA lied about the Haitians eating pets and have been working overtime to make up shit to save face. Incredible how this story evolved......absurd.

JD Vance and Trump literally knew they were lying and instead of admitting this shit ..now he's using this bullshit to recover

 
time to cook a politically-inspired dish of noodles (RFK jnr's brain) and chicken (trump when faced by Harris to another debate)

it will taste nicer than either of them. *nods*
 
NEW YORK — Federal authorities arrested and charged two chiefs in the New York City Fire Department in a corruption scheme, alleging they took at least $190,000 in bribes to expedite FDNY building inspections.

Brian Cordasco and Anthony Saccavino are accused of secretly partnering with a co-conspirator to start a fire safety company while the pair were both FDNY chiefs. Businesses would pay the company to speed up their building inspections with the fire department, according to an indictment unsealed Monday morning by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York.

Cordasco and Saccavino would refer customers to the company, use their government jobs to pull strings and then get a kickback from the company.

The scheme is alleged to have lasted from July 2021, during Mayor Bill de Blasio’s administration, through early 2023, under Mayor Eric Adams.

fucking corruption, corruption, corruption. nail the buggers.

this seems entirely the wrong way to deal with the situation:

An 11-year-old boy was punished this month for reporting a classmate for having a bullet at school because, according to administrators, he waited too long to do so.

School officials at St. John the Apostle Catholic School in Virginia Beach suspended a sixth grader for 1½ days for waiting about two hours to report a bullet his friend had shown him, according to Tim Anderson, a lawyer representing the boy and his mother Rachel Wigand.

the school counters that the child's actions could have had severe consequences. Instead of punishing a kid for waiting 2 hours, wouldn't it have been better to hold assemblies and class talks to stress the importance of speaking out if something like that happens? how it's not a matter of snitching on a friend but a matter of reducing any danger to all their classmates as well as to the child bringing in something potentially dangerous, like a knife, a gun, an unknown substance? The kids who bring in strange, possibly dangerous things might be in need of protection themselves... where did they lay hands on the item and how is it they were able to bring it to school?

suspension seems totally inappropriate to me; it might even be detrimental to encouraging kids to come forward and speak out.
