Really digging Reign in Slumber. Thanks for the recommendation.
On the topic of Asian metal, Voice of Baceprot just played the Glastonbury festival, which is pretty awesome. All-female Indonesian band.
Also, the dude who works at the gas station down the street introduced me to Minerva, a Bangladeshi metal band.
There's a small craft brewery in small-town Wisconsin that partnered with a coffee roaster to make a canned coffee called "Woke". The coffee is pretty good, and the beer is damn good.
They piss off the local right-wing government, so they're constantly getting shut down, but it usually only lasts a couple weeks.
No. They just know that Republicans and their cable news sycophants will do the exact thing they did with the Hur report.
Ignore the overall findings, find one sentence in it that spins it negative, soundbite the fuck out of it, and repeat it ad nauseum.
And yes, this is the same thing Trump did. And Obama. And Bush. This has been a standard move for decades. It's just news now because of the regressive morons in congress and their orange dictator-in-waiting.
Anybody question why his social media company has a revenue stream roughly equal to that of a single McDonald's franchise, yet is valued at 9 billion dollars?
If you owe the bank $100 you have a problem. If you owe the bank $100k, the bank has a problem.
Seattle PD is pretty fucking bad.
Seattle Police Officer's Guild is even worse.
The leadership at SPOG is about as bad a it gets in big cities. Look at anything that Mike Solan has done in his career, but especially look into his words and actions around the BLM riots and CHOP. It's fucking embarrassing that a city of our caliber has a police force of their caliber.
I dunno. They've amassed 90% of their population along the US border.
He was in charge of American foreign policy during and immediately after the Vietnam War. TLDR he made policy decisions that led to the deaths of probably over 4 million people.
This is why I've really been trying to make the 'Orange Julius' nickname stick.
Punish him by making him watch Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves 300 times.
Seattle PD is and has always been terrible. For a city with as little violent crime as we are, you would think that we would have a semi-competant police force. We aren't Baltimore or Chicago or Memphis. We don't need a violent, antagonistic, adversarial police force. Yet decade after decade, Seattle PD shows themselves to be the worst of the worst of violent white nationalists.
SPD's training standards are embarrassingly low. SPD's staffing numbers are embarrassing low. Rookie cops make over $100k and the right-wing pundits say it's not enough, while first-year teachers make $55k and the right-wing pundits say it's too much. They blame the BLM riots and say that the city betrayed them, but the average person here had absolutely zero faith in them well before the riots. Most SPD officers don't actually live in Seattle.
Sorry if the second paragraph got a bit into unhinged-rant territory, but shit like this is infuriating. SPD is so clearly shit and needs to be purged.
He didn't say what it was. It might be a flashlight that goes into the exhaust pipe.
