Every day we learn something is a happy day for us

I think you and I think of different meanings for “your man”. Never said that Trump wasn’t a gombeen piece of shit.

I looked through a different article and it said this: “Trump will be the first president since Herbert Hoover in 1932 not to speak at the conference at all, skipping it entirely in 2016 as the presidential nominee and again in 2017 and 2018.”

So your man was invited but didn’t come.

Did they invite him during his first term?

Also the anniversary of an important attempt to liberate the Dominican Republic from Trujillo, a fascist dictator who was propped up by the USA.

A very big portion of How to Blow Up a Pipeline by Andreas Malm criticizes this study and how it ignores the more violent and property-destroying aspects of the movements it studied.

As Malm describes, the radical flank effect is a well-documented phenomenon in which the presence of a more militant faction in a social movement makes the authorities much more likely to compromise with the moderate elements.

I suggest you read the book if you haven’t already.

The crosses are iron at least

According to the article, the context for the flashy headline is that all Catholics are children of God and that all must be treated with compassion, while still acknowledging that pedophiles are monsters.

I will not pretend that Francis’s hands are totally clean. He has mistreated abuse cases in the past. Around 2019 he actually started implementing some reforms that have to some extent helped. While I don’t think he did enough, he did much more than his predecessors. I highly suspect the next pope will be another Benedict and not another Francis. Consequently, I suspect that the mishandling will get worse.

He was an alright Pope in the end. Not a soulless bastard like Benedict.

One of my friends is a type I diabetic. He had some sort of smart thingamajig in his teenage years for measuring blood sugar, so you could monitor it over time or warn your family if you’re in some critical situation.

The jester may mean simply to prank, but they may well have blood on their hands if they fuck up medical devices such as that one.

A boycott or strike with an end date is seldom effective.

See for instance Reddit

Not American, but at least a few do. And they’re exporting it. My old English teacher back when I lived in the Dominican Republic was an American missionary who taught to fund her religious activities. Guess what beliefs about science and politics she was spreading along with her beliefs about baptism of the spirit?

Another day of thanking my past self for leaving

Would, say, an actor playing a Nazi officer in a movie be protected from this?

When you have an unflushable turd, you need a plumber ;)

I dunno man, they seem to hyperfixate on the death penalty and “law and order” a little too much.

They probably see it as a good thing. Another dirty crook off the face of the Earth.
