If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey.

This isn’t controversial.

A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

It's a censorship engine designed to promote ideas that Elon Musk likes and suppress ideas that Elon Musk does not like. I really don't get why this evident fact - that Musk openly admits! - is so hard for so many people to understand

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.
“Prohibited words and concepts: Equity, diversity, & inclusion; anti-racism; Bias; Critical race theory; implicit bias; oppression; intersectionality; prohibited discriminatory practices; racial privilege; promoting stereotypes based on personal identity characteristics.”

Willingly scarring your body to own the libs. These people are straight up insane. This is Manson Family shit
The investigation revealed that Greene had not, in fact, been attacked by three men at gunpoint on July 23. Instead, Greene had paid a body modification/scarification artist to deliberately cut the lacerations on her face, neck, upper chest, and shoulder, based on a pattern that she had provided beforehand.

I am moving out of state and have an outdoor cat who is very skittish that I simply can’t take on a plane without risking life and limb. Would anyone in PDX like to adopt a moody gray lady? She could be fine inside a home with no other cats, she doesn’t tolerate them (hence outside). DM if so.

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

Speculative fiction: just escapism, or - at its best - a form of protest? What do you think?

Keep lifting up your voices and your stories!

#PreparingForThanksgiving Part 1.

Your crazy Uncle Harry claims that the Nazis were socialists. What do you do?

First, determine if he's basing that claim solely on the word 'socialist' in the phrase 'national socialist' (or from the longer name of the NSDAP). Then, determine how drunk he is.
