She's licensed. She's a COURT interpreter. She's lived there for 35 years.

This is destroying her life, obviously, but this is also fucking over EVERY SINGLE PERSON who needs a court interpreter for those three languages, nationwide.

The ripple effect is community-destroying.

And that's why.

Police Officer Helplessly Waves Arms at Waymo That Careened Wrong Way Through Whataburger Drive-Thru The San Antonio Police Department was forced to intervene after a Waymo vehicle drove into the drive-thru lane of a Whataburger.

Personally, I think the CEOs of these automated, driverless vehicles should be directly charged with manslaughter for any fatalities that result from their cars malfunctioning.

Every tie you see a verdict like this it’s because 1) LAPD is not being held accountable for their actions by the city and 2) the City Attorney is an imbecile and is refusing to settle loser cases

Having peoples existence depend on earning money in the age of bosses firing people of all fields for a llm is not a tenable situation. Humans dont do well with that kinda existential dread constantly around. We prob need to get rid of money or do ubi. Power structures will be reshaped either way

Texas Medical Board Sanctions Three Doctors for Delayed Care That Led to the Deaths of Two Pregnant Women The two women died during miscarriages. The state’s medical board has ruled that substandard care led to their deaths.

At least there was a sanction, but a year is too short, 8 hours of CED is hardly more than the requirement, and a $5 grand fine is often less than a single day’s billings.

These men killed women. This is a pathetically weak punishment.

Thanks for helping us send out 1.5 million whistles.

If not, I’d love to see a photo!

What? Are these still available anywhere???

I think a lot of people who are running the rape supporter's handbook are deeply unaware that it is the rape supporter's handbook.

The rape supporter's handbook is such a normal part of the average lexicon that you have to interrogate it to understand how it works.

The thing about high profile men prone to sexual misconduct is that very few of them just did it the one time. All the people who are "just asking questions" could save themselves a lot of looking like a total ding dong by giving it 24 hours to see how many more people show up with complaints.

Blaming women for not speaking up sooner while they get a tsunami of people picking apart their lives and motivations and the man in question is releasing thinly veiled legal threats is a neat trick. It’s their fault either way, huh? Y’all are exhausting.

Every single one of the astronauts who went to the moon and back on Artemis II was educated at a public school.

Thinking of the teachers who poured into Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen tonight. You helped send a kid to the moon!

🌕 💛

Thanks that's perfect!

Ooh, do you have a link? I've been looking for something similar

Okay, that finally makes sense. I kept approaching it from the “we having a caring relationship and naturally consider one another’s opinions” and couldn’t make it mesh from any direction.

Mine bought a Costco pack of office scissors so there’s some for every room in the house. Just so there’s never even any temptation!

Don’t use my sewing scissors for anything but fabric…

I don’t think I’ve had to say that for 15 years or more, though.

By the way, I have stepped back somewhat from whistle coordination because I was preparing for/recovering from surgery! But many of the whistle goblins are still working quietly behind the scenes, and our total is close to 1.5 million whistles shipped to every state in the country. 💓

The Moon: oh wow you guys decided to come back

Artemis II crew: earth’s haunted

Aw fuck. TIL.

Y'all there is a woman and a black man circling the moon and NASA's mission control+ science teams are so diverse and people are nerding out about science and exploration this is all a gigantic middle finger to the stupid and hate and grotesque ghouls running our country

Authors, please talk about your stuff. People who like to read need to find out about your stuff. You're doing us a favor!

We need to find a newspaper link to Bree winning the defenders of democracy award, and post it in response on her behalf.

Discworld QOTD, from Feet of Clay

Right? I’m one of the few people whose kid would benefit from this (he has dysgraphia, and cursive is easier for him, but none of his classmates can read it) but good god, talk about the bottom of the priority pile!

Literally this: 1 billion dollars, conservatively invested to produce 4% interest a year, generates $100,000 per DAY in interest alone. 100Grand every day towards harassment and abuse, without touching the capital. She has 1.2 billion, so the other 20K/day in interest pays for life expenses.

Hey if you need a fantasy story that I wrote specifically as a middle finger to JKR and other utter human disappointments check out my comic, The Unfamiliars.

For no reason at all I looked up the actual constitutional definition of a traitor and I do think “knowingly and repeatedly profiting off of wartime decisions, especially when that war is unauthorized by congress” counts as “levying war against” the American people

btw, here we are in another war. i wonder if schools remember how difficult it was for the bush administration to find arabic-language translators post-9/11. what intellectual infrastructure are we gutting now that we might need in the coming years? as a humanist, i have many thoughts.

And Frito Pie is definitely not that weird, even if I don’t care for it personally. It’s just chili-cheese fries, but with Fritos replacing the fries.
