8% is still too high. No one should profit from people being imprisoned.

Ligma nuts.

Me? I’m a Ligma male.

And thinking leftists idolize him enough to build a statue of him. Right wingers not knowing the difference between liberals and leftists, again.

We never got rid of slavery. People like to ignore the full text of the 13th amendment: “…except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted”. States just started passing laws to invent new crimes to selectively enforce, and slavery lived on in the form of prison labor.

A third or so of the country believes the right wing propaganda machine that has been churning for decades.

For everyone else, we’re constantly offered a choice between a center-right neoliberal, or an outright fascist. We’re just voting for how fast the country falls.

Ah hell, missed it when I first read it. I blame sleep deprivation.

Ohm = measure of resistance in a circuit

Amp = total current flowing through a circuit

Designer probably got a dimension wrong on the drawing, and the pavers went “Alright, we’ll do it exactly as you say. Teach you to proofread next time…”

The green onions, too. We have some growing in a container on our porch. They’re super easy to grow, and are good to add some extra flavor to whatever poverty meal you’re cooking.

Angle of the spine. He had a whole bit about how if you lean at all, you’re not manly, or something. Then he was selling shirts with the green line down the middle, because there’s always a grift with these chuds.

If the fediverse starts gaining traction, you can bet the mega-corps will use every dirty trick they have to co-opt it or, if that fails, undermine it.

Being railed, I assume.

One of my favorite threads was an AMA from Nick Offerman in like 2012. Mostly I liked how if you looked at his comments in order, you could see him getting drunker as the thread went on, eventually posting answers to the wrong questions.
