Holy shit. That’s a clear escalation in drumpf’s war on democracy. What happened to “state’s rights?” (I know, it’s only “state’s rights” when it’s to their advantage.)

I’m not saying that Rep Shea is a Templar, but he’s so evil even the Templars would have assassinated him for being an evil asshole.

I’m not seeing that, but I’m using Firefox with uBlock Origin, PrivacyBadger, and NoScript as privacy tools.

I’m not seeing it, but I’ve got AdGuard Content Blocker and Disconnect on my phone.

But I was on TVTropes the other night, and they’ve started using nag screens. Sorry, but no, an infected ad on their site was what got my laptop hit with a rootkit years ago, so I won’t unblock. It doesn’t prevent reading content, it’s just annoying.

And…I had forgotten to log out and back in again to finish updating my Firefox. All solved…thanks!

This is the first time I’ve seen proper (insufficient, but proper) media attention in these forums – looks like more journos have finally done their homework.

It really frustrates me that you can’t post a picture of a “female-presenting nipple” in a Renaissance painting to Tumblr, but these bozos can egg each other on to grab Armalites and attack the nearest place of worship, swapping child porn in between exchanges.

Yes and to me it shows how online communities can reinforce the worst in each other without any outside influences.

I posted this over at TOP, but I think it bears repeating. This is the thread by the NICU nurse that tells the real story:

As all you over here know1, I lost my dad recently. The Surgical ICU staff were amazing. They treated my father like gold, but they also were incredibly kind and generous to me too. They took the time to explain anything I wanted to know, they gave me hugs, they kept after me to take care of myself, too. So after experiencing that, the idea that the Orange Bastard is slamming the same kind of incredibly caring nursing staff with his outrageous bullshit is infuriating to me.

 
 
1 I haven’t discussed it openly at TOP. There have been way too many drive-by trolls and fidiots lately for me to feel comfortable doing that. It’s not like it’s a secret, but I feel safer talking about it here more than there.

I feel the same way. My dad wasn’t in the hospital long, but the overnight ICU nurse, Dawn (may every blessing come to her) made it easier, even thought it was the worst time for our family. She was straightforward and kind. I know it was a surgeon that made it possible for him to live long enough to wake up for a little while to say goodbye, but the nurses were literally everything to us as a family. She gently told our mother that his time was super close, and that allowed her to be at his side when he left his body.

That orange bastard should keep the word Nurse out of his mouth, because it sullies all the wonderful professionals who do such important work.
