stephen king on allen tx & a first responder

Allen, Texas: First responder took a little girl’s pulse before realizing she had no face.
Time for responsible gun laws.

@2hip2bL7@toot.community Nah. There are too many of us non-magats here in red states trying to turn them blue.

@jadevol I see my humor escapes you. Perhaps it’s the earplugs. I need to be LOUDER!!

@tristansnell
How's this idea.
Replace the SC with a Supreme Panel, composed of random picks from the numerous federal judges. Pick 3 every 2 years. Thus each serves 6 years on the Panel.

So Federal Judges still get lifetime appointments, but not lifetime on the Panel.

Such an arrangement would be very hard to stack or corrupt.

@barney@mas.to @gwfoto@newsie.social Pence is running to stay relevant. Which is silly, cause he’s never been relevant.

“Abbott can go to hell.” Dude, he’s in Texas. He’s already in hell.

@statmonkey if God’s control is absolute pack your desk because we clearly have no need for congressmen

#Allusions are one of the trickiest #LiteraryDevices to teach young people, largely because allusions by their very nature expect the reader to already understand people and events generally considered to be “common knowledge.”

Okay, look, America.

It's *Canada* Geese, not Canadian Geese.

It's just a name, they don't belong to us, they're not our fault.

Sorry, though. 😉

"No publicly traded company would consider naming Trump to an executive position... None of his billionaire friends would trust him with their money." He couldn't work in a school or a lawfirm. And yet we might elect him president, @sykescharlie writes: theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/

(Even God has to be saying by now: ‘Sheezus, just make it harder to get semi-automatic weapons. Just like you do renewing your license at the DMV or beating a red-light camera ticket.’)”

Vietnam has reported a record-high temperature of 44.1C (111.38F), as weather experts and authorities told the population to remain indoors during the hottest parts of the day.

@deannapizzuti Fact: I cannot hear (or read) Maple Leafs without humming Joni Mitchell’s “Raised on Robbery.”

Elect people who know right from wrong. It’s a simple test you can apply to any political zealot on the right or the left, to any judge, school committee member, sheriff, or pastor. If we can no longer do that simple thing, if the money and the power and the media have forever changed our ability to tell what is right and to desire what is right, crawling our way back to decency will take generations.
