RIVERTON, Utah (AP) — When a dozen Republican activists gathered on a back deck in the Salt Lake City suburbs to talk about this year’s elections, the conversation cycled through all the staples of conservative chatter in Utah such as dwindling water supplies, illegal immigrant fraud and chemtrail conspiracy theories.

The article is about something else (ai regulations) which is actually a perfect illustration of how republicans' obsession with total crazypants bullshit like chemtrails is just treated as dog bites man. Fully normalized that the current ruling political party is completely insane

“Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe.”

From Roberts' memo, 2/6/16 "I recognize that the posture of this stay request is not typical"

Memo from Breyer: "It is unusual for this Court to issue a stay of an agency order during the time that the Court of Appeals is considering its lawfulness"

Feb 7 memo from Kagan "It would be unprecedented for us to second-guess the DC Circuits decision thst a stay is not warranted "

Doug Ford backs off government plane purchase, seeks to sell aircraft Just days after announcing plans to buy a private jet, Ontario Premier Doug Ford says the province will now move to sell its newly acquired plane, acknowledging concerns about the timing and cost of t...

If he doesn't sell it for the exact same amount as he bought it, I think Ontarians should have the right to take the difference off of our taxes, idgaf if that's "not how money works"

It’s easy to forget how unprecedented the Hiberno-British* boyband The Beatles were [Harry Benson’s great pic]. In 1964 they did 30 concerts in 24 US cities & travelled 22,441 miles. In the NL 100,000 gathered just to see them drive by. In Adelaide 300,000 lined their route from airport to hotel.

Amazon will pay $20.5 million to settle allegations that two of its Oregon data centers helped contaminate groundwater.

This is exactly why communities across the country are organizing to stop data centers — and winning.

Never doubt your power to change the system.

No, it’s not a painting—these surreal skies are real! This is a rare ‘fire rainbow’ spotted over the Rocky Mountains, created when sunlight hits ice-crystal clouds at just the right angle. Seeing a fire rainbow requires extreme luck.

How cool.

Yeah, olive oil and cheese and pastries can make you a little fat. Yeah, sunshine gives you wrinkles and wine ruins your liver and spending money on pretty things eats up your savings. But unfortunately, I've decided to enjoy life anyways
