The end of an era. https://www.yahoo.com/news/4-000-episodes-halt-jerry-springers-show-203235591.html

 

Not saying it's a good era but still...

 

I always figured the Jerry Springer show was like pro wrestling. I'm sure some of it was real but for the most part it was "what will kids from Kentucky do for a free trip to Connecticut?"

Man stuck in traffic hacks nearest electronic billboard to stream Japanese porn

 

 


When you’re stuck in gridlock traffic, you might do any of the following things: scroll through your Instagram feed, fire up a new podcast, check yourself out in the rearview mirror, bang your head on the steering wheel, or flip off the guy in front of you.

 

But one 24-year-old IT worker in Jakarta, Indonesia, recently decided he had a better idea for how to pass the time. He hacked into the nearest electronic billboard and streamed hardcore Japanese porn for frustrated commuters to communally watch in horror

This is a huge win: http://reason.com/blog/2018/06/21/scotus-rules-8-1-for-undocumented-immigr

 

Not just for Mr. Pereira but for all of us. In the '80s the court essentially decided ambiguity in the law means that law can be stretched into whatever the Federal Government wants it to be. Not any more. This is a win for us all.

 

What's more Ginsburg has sided AGAINST the government on something other than Free Speech twice in one day. Someone write that one down. Gotta be a record.

“Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.”
 
-Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>>

"The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete."

Seems like the Japanese Office Space would be darker.

 

 

@AyAri_cat tweets: “When the earthquake hit I got an email from my boss. It said: 'Is everyone safe? All staff, please respond to this email to ascertain your safety.' So far so good, right? The next line: 'Are you able to attend work today? Can you do business? If so, please let us know.' Japan is a country of wage slaves.”

I wonder why the cop pulled over the boyfriend.  The news never explains why.

 

I had been reading about the news for a couple days, but none of the news reports mentioned anything about the boyfriend being black. When I  finally saw the video, I totally did not expect the boy was black - but I was not surprised: "Aha, so that's all what this was about..."

It is a character, he used to make appearances at various cons. I haven't seen him around in a while. I'm also pretty sure for that video that he's edited himself in.

By "horror" they mean frustration that the genitalia is censored.

Back in January the Wichita police were called out to a domestic disturbance. When they arrived nothing was happening but three armed officer entered the residence anyway. They found four young children, a dog, and two adults talking in the kitchen. The dog barked at one of the cops. The 240 lb adult cop in body armor was so terrified of a 35 lb bull terrier he tried to shoot the family pet right there in the living room in front of four terrified children. And missed. Instead he shot a nine year old little girl in the face. 

 

They took the girl outside to wait for EMS. The parents were not even allowed to go to her. They were busy getting arrested. For what no one knows. No charges were filed. The girl survived. It hit her just above the eye. Although her face will be scarred for life. Afterwards the Wichita police did what all police do. Closed ranks and defended the officer's actions as "justified". Until the body cam video was obtained. Then once it became public the cop was fired then charged with assault. So far the prosecution of this case appears to be, and I'll be kind, lackadaisical. 

 

But, of you love government you should stand up and cheer. Here is what it looks like:

Just a week before another cop from the same department shot an killed an unarmed and completely innocent man on his front porch following a fake 911 call. https://www.kansas.com/news/local/crime/article196129279.html

 

Three cheers for government! Give up your guns they say. We will protect you they say.
