You certainly are your handle. You're replying to a near 30 day old post, that has zero traffic. You're either a bot or a troll, but either way, welcome to the block list

Official act. Immune.

There are two elements to the immunity decision that are particularly extreme in a way that many will miss: (1) motive is irrelevant and (2) immune acts are not just excluded from prosecution, they’re excluded from evidence. /1

So... What's the drinking game choices for the debate? And, can I replace drinks with hits from the bong?

"needs to be recognized as a right for all" The fact that this needs to be said this at all is ridiculous. We shouldn't have to codify the right to wear a mask because the law against them should have been laughed out of the legislature. But we're not sending our best these days, are we?
Mask bans are evil and dystopian and I am appalled that they’re even being proposed. Wearing masks to protect your health and the health of others needs to be recognized as a right for all and an absolutely essential protection for those who would otherwise be unable to participate in society

What is it with the continued glowing coverage in Minneapolis news of slain MPD officer Jamal Mitchell? Don't get me wrong - he sounds like a great officer... But was he the ONLY good thing to come out of MPD lately? Are the MPD that hard up for good stories that they have to focus on him for weeks?

Holy crap. I knew the losses were bad... But half a million troops? It's astonishing that the people still love Putin after killing all of their sons. I think that's about 6% of the typical military age (18-35) population in Russia...
These are the indicative estimates of Russia’s combat losses as of June 14, according to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Ugh. 6:15AM flights. 😭 I'll just hide in the corner with my headphones on so I don't bark at you.

Today, I added some more letters to my certifications - CCSP, or Certified Cloud Security Professional. One hundred and fifty questions on cloud security that suggest I actually know some stuff. Anyway, it's nice to have that off my plate! 😀

WTF is an untruth? If you're untruthful, then you are a liar. Do you mean lies, NYT? 😑
Google appears to have rolled back its new AI Overviews — a generative AI feature — after the technology produced a litany of untruths and errors, including recommending glue as part of a pizza recipe and suggesting that people ingest rocks for nutrients.

@alttext.bsky.social can I donate a place to run the bot? What do you need?

"If you're going to protect the little guy and we can't keep fucking them, then how do you expect us to make money? Sheesh."
The DOT regulated junk fees. Airlines are suing. The CFPB capped credit card fees. Banks are suing. Medicare is negotiating drug prices. Pharma is suing. The FTC banned noncompetes. Business groups are suing. Corporate America can't stand government working for the people.

hey, quick question for law-enforcement? If your snipers nests are able to be snuck up on by students with cameras while you’re aiming at the students below do you think you’re gonna be safe if this goes down?
