[Bolivia] has seen about 190 coups, as well as military dictatorships and revolutions, since it gained independence in 1825.
Jesus Christ. That country fucking loves coups.
I’m from space!

Also, that boat was full of rich folks and their belongings. There’s always going to be people who want to recover items from a boat littered with gold, jewelry, etc.
Maybe, but where they repeatedly covered in the press for being insanely shinny and expensive, and were they full of the world’s upper crust when they failed?
The titanic was the titan submersible on steroids.
What if it’s just a 20oz cup of deli mustard from the condiment bar?
Problem is, the lower information voters don’t know that Trump is lying, and Biden couldn’t point that out in a clear and concise way. He was soft and rambling and wasn’t campaigning competently on that stage.
He needed to make the case against Trump. Which isn’t hard.
That show has a proud tradition of talking shit about politicians. Been this way for 20 years.
What will happen is that no regulations will get passed, or they’ll continue ask their special interest to write laws for themselves because Congress is too busy to do law making. Ugh.
Am I crazy for thinking that this is actually worse than the court banning abortion?
At least with abortion bans, people could see the direct impact and that could motivate voter turnout. This will be a decision that many voters won’t easily recognize as the cause of the corruption and injustice they will be feeling. A lot of people are going to get hurt, and they’re not going to know the real reason behind it.
The GOP finally got what they’ve been trying to get since the 80s. Get ready for The Jungle 2.0.
In the case of CA, these people are going to be given in shelter beds. (I know, it sounds counterintuitive to the ruling.)
The main reason CA brought the case is because they aren’t allowed force portions of their unhoused populations indoors. They can’t move a segment of the population unless there is enough space for the entire population.
So, if a county had beds for half of the unhoused population, and it wanted to bring half of them indoors, it couldn’t. It could only make moves once it had beds for all.
I’m sure some place will be shitty and will just throw people in jail, but the big west cost cities have a lot of unfilled shelter beds that they would like to fill.
And all that being said, a lot of these unhoused people are avoiding shelters for a reason. Being on the street is actually preferable to what people experience in some shelters. So, as much as Newsom will tell you that he wants to be compassionate and give people a bed, he’s not telling you that bed is next to a psycho that’s going to scream all night then assault someone.
As I recall, Gavin Newsom has basically been pushing to look at available shelter space, and clear portions of encampments based on that available space. Problem has been, legally, CA couldn’t clear encampments unless it could demonstrate that it had beds for everyone. As a result, CA has a lot of unclaimed shelter beds. Some counties don’t have enough for everyone, but they do have enough to start moving large portions of people inside.
That said, the conversations around this seem to miss one of the fundamental reasons why people are not excited take a shelter bed. Many shelters have been dirty, hostile, or down right unsafe. People have felt safer in tent communities where they could know and chose their neighbors.
I’m of two minds on this. The all or nothing rule on shelter beds was weird, but shelters need to be safe, help people get care, let people keep belongings, and not kick people out every morning at the crack of dawn.
The republicans finally got what they wanted. They’ve basically killed the government’s ability to regulate.
Get ready to be fucked by corporations and billionaires in lots of new ways.
What if, crazy idea, he agreed to the debate because he was perfectly fine and able to debate?
Probably too simple to be true. The secret camp David stimulant testing lab is probably what actually happened.
“Biden will have been at Camp David for a full week before the debate, and … they’re probably experimenting with getting doses right, getting him medicine before the debate,” said Jackson, who is currently running for Congress in Texas with Trump’s endorsement.
Yeah, I’m sure an 80 year old guy on a week-long, medical grade, stimulant bender would be FULL of energy come the debate.
No holes in that logic at all.
Scientists look at the historical peaks from the last years, then the work back from that targeted date by adding in the many months needed to do trials, manufacturing, etc. Good thing is that, with mRNA technology, that time window is actually much better that is used to be for the older tech we’ve used for flu viruses in the past.
It’s never going to be perfect, but as long as you had last year’s booster, as the article mentioned, you’re much less likely to get seriously ill.
Predicting when next year’s peaks will drop is like predicting next years rainfall. You can get close, but it’s never going to be perfect. (Not the greatest analogy, since rain doesn’t mutate, and umbrellas don’t require months of human trials. Ohh well)
These are smart people working on this stuff. If they could have an updated vaccine ready to go for any unexpected peak, they would.
Yup. Updates every year, just like flu vaccines. The virus mutates and immune wanes over time.
As the article says in the beginning, they come in fall.
The Obama era debates were the last decent debates. He was able to give thoughtful nuanced answers, while still holding people’s attention and remaining concise. Not many people have that skill.
That said, those Biden - Palin debates have some similarities to the Trump - Biden debates. Once again, Biden is debating a loud, confident, fascist, moron. And once again, we’re hoping he doesn’t produce a gaffe that makes him the center of attention.
One old man will be yelling.
The other one will be saying “ugh, come on Jack.”
