If I understand correctly, a Christian woman invented a hypothetical scenario in which she felt threatened by imaginary gay people, and the Supreme Court not only agreed to hear the case but ruled that her bigotry is acceptable

(deep sigh) All six wildfires in the Pacific Cascade Region this weekend were caused by fireworks.

I hope everyone survived the fireworks last night. The video I posted last night was an aerial shot over residential neighborhoods in Pierce County. My opinion is fireworks, especially mortar shells, have no business in crammed neighborhoods. What’s your opinion?

Same. With glee.

Car culture is so strong in the US that people post videos of themselves breaking the law in a 3500-pound vehicle and other drivers will empathize with their misfortune of being held accountable.

I had to really hold my tongue when the old folks where I live starting bitching about having to pay to hookup to town sewer. Years of lectures about my generation being lazy, needing handouts from the gov't, etc were forgotten very quickly.

This reminds me of the time a teacher told me that "brobdingnagian" was not a word and then gave me a detention when I showed her the word in the dictionary she kept in her classroom.

As if people who are this upset about alleged migrants would ever be ok with the government giving money to poor people.

I wonder what this looks like if you layer on some actual objective financial analysis. My theory is that one "public opinion" line much more closely matches reality.

I just love this idea that inner cities are full of criminals itching to do crime in the suburbs and the only thing stopping them is lack of public transit. This was a huge reason behind opposition to a train to KOP when I lived in Philly and it was moronic then too.

My right to not have to dodge someone going 100mph on a public road is more important than your right to go 100mph. If you don’t understand this you are literally a child and don’t deserve driving privileges.

I'm sure these drivers were escaping a tornado or terrorism or an abduction or something that necessitated this behavior.

I'd like to flag this for all the morons telling me that bicycles need to have the same level of traffic enforcement as cars (they actually do. it's none) but also in a world of scarce resources spending any time on bicycle enforcement is asinine.
