Just like everything else he slaps his name on for a few bucks.
This man is a legend and should be treated as such.

Hitler would approve of this viewpoint.
Holy fuck I did not need to know this was a thing :(
I like how Stacy is prepared for this emergency in the inflatable raft in the lake up in the snow-capped mountains. She brought her bathing suit and had time to put it on!
Damn, I’m a ME who does volunteer disaster response for hurricanes/floods in areas along the Gulf Coast, and I’d love to pick your brain.
FTA:
The Tennessee Immigrant & Refugee Rights Coalition (TIRRC) said in a statement that it had seen people affected struggling to get help from authorities.
“TIRRC staff members who deployed to the area witnessed community members struggling to access interpretation services from local and state government agencies, as well as requests by agencies for identification and documentation from immigrant community families that hindered their ability to identify missing loved ones,” the group said in a statement.
“Houses shouldn’t do that. That house is like a boat now.”
Obligatory Colbert shoutout:
During his visit, Trump made a number of comments about a boat that had been shipwrecked on the property of a survivor and homeowner in New Bern, North Carolina. These included statements such as “at least you got a nice boat out of the deal”; “Is this your boat? Or did it become your boat?”; and “To see what we’re seeing – this boat, I don’t know what happened, but this boat just came here.”
Oh well that fucking sucks. Way to use your talents for evil.
The literal hero we need right now.
McBurney’s ruling would allow abortions through at least 20 weeks of pregnancy.
Fuck. Yes. Sometimes it takes awhile to discover major problems.
Thank you - this was genuinely helpful.
Oh wow, that’s interesting insight, thanks for the details. I’m in Texas and it’s like a pissing contest between Abbott & Desantis to be the most shitty state.
Oh, right! I get that, but it’s just so on the nose that it could be in either. Sadly, it’s not satire.
PSA for those in the US; the Urgent Care type places that advertise “ER” in their title will be absurdly more expensive than “regular” Urgent Care places that do not advertise as such.
The reason is that the “ER” places have actual ER type equipment, but regardless if you use them or not, you will be charged as such.
Maybe this is common knowledge, but we learned the hard way when my partner went in for something very benign and we received a $1,000 bill, even though we had insurance.
These “ER” places are popping up everywhere, and there’s nothing to tell you that if you go down the road a block or so, it could make the difference between a cheaper co-pay and owing the full amount. In our case, almost $1,000.
I saw a Vice (I think) piece about this. Basically Desantis really took an interest in this one random college and has steamrolled all over it. They interviewed students who thought they were going to one school, but everything changed not long after they got there.
But it’s so fucking weird that he’s focusing all this energy on this small school. I don’t want to go full tinfoil hat, but this is so random.
Wow, this is impressive research! Thank you for taking the time to be so thorough.
I was also referencing the Nazis being big on animal welfare overall and passing laws against animal cruelty.
It’s always been ironic to me that they passed laws banning cruelty to animals, but went out of their way to find more efficient ways of murdering large groups of people. I guess it shouldn’t.
Apologies for the Wikipedia link, but the fact that some of the laws in place today in Germany came from the Nazis is so weird imo.
