You can find a list of her many -- very many -- proposed reforms here: https://www.gothamgazette.com/city/8641-25-things-tiffany-caban-has-promised-to-do-as-queens-district-attorney Many what she's calling decline-to-prosecute crimes, including resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and possession of gravity knives. Don't you especially love that resisting arrest one?

@loki FIFY: Dear dad, $o $ad no mon no fun. Dear $on, how $ad, too bad, your Dad.

@renauda said in The Pivot -- Afghanistan and the Three Global Powers: Read this: Thanks, Renauda. For me very informative. And very interesting! What a mare's nest for Russia. They'll have their hands full. You have to wonder if a more honest reaction to the US withdrawal is mixed rather than joyous; at least the Taliban were too busy to give the Russians much grief when we were there. But that may be naive on my part.

Heavy winds just started in NY. We’re supposed to get them here in Cape Cod tomorrow.

@george-k said in Burn in hell, Joe!: @doctor-phibes said in Burn in hell, Joe!: I'm thinking more of the families of the dead soldiers seeing people making up funny gotcha's two days later. I get your point. Have you read the comments by the families of the dead soldiers? How self-absorbed Biden's comments were, how he kept looking at his watch (not once, but several times)? He deserves all the scorn they expressed. I listened to the interview with the father this morning. He was somewhat less negative about Biden. It doesn't sound as though he knew what to do. This really shouldn't be happening at all, of course.

@aqua-letifer said in RV?: Xenon, you're a yuppie, you gotta go with a conversion van. 100%. No pushback from me. I've considered it... only thing holding me back is that it's hard to get a solid conversation and still keep 5 seatbelts... So damn cool though: https://www.treehugger.com/stacia-van-conversion-by-vanlife-conversions-uk-5115788

Ouch

Alright the TV is up and extended away from the wall... nothing seems to have fallen yet. Ultimately the snap toggle screws I used didn't work because of something behind the wall (insulation? I have no idea). I also had to cut out a little hole for some audio wires. Finally, the main screws didn't work so I had to use alternate screws that I (think?) went into studs or at least another sheet of plywood. Man, I just wish I had a normal drywall/stud wall to work with next time.....

Wow. Very interesting.

Where is the video?

@lufins-dad said in RIP Ed Asner: which was a mean and miserable old bastard… So maybe appropriate… "If my father had been a nicer man, he probably wouldn't have lived as long as he did," a friend told me about his father dying of prostate cancer.

@catseye3 said in Art Schlicter is out on parole: In his first photo he looks psychopathic. In his second, he looks unrepentant. Typical white male IMO.

If it was right for the officer to kill that woman, then it was right to kill them all. There was nothing special about her. He couldn't even see her hands and had no idea if she was armed. He says his did his duty. Then he should have continued to do his duty and kill all of them.

I never see much money. I spend quite a bit of it, but I don't actually see it. If those places that print $100 bills did guided tours, we could probably see more, however it seems unlikely that they'd do that.

Hospitals are ok. I mean we have cases but no overloads and plenty of ICU beds still. At least at my place.

Who the heck is Ian Fortey?
