Following his divorce, Bill Gates becomes a nuclear power. Just wait until Musk and Bezos hear about this!

Orange County had the good idea to have a training program on the dangers of police infiltration/recruitment by extremist-right groups, and then, outta nowhere, someone added a fuckton of Both-Sides material – because everyone knows that Antifa and the Black Panthers are trying to recruit police…
So glad we have a judicial system that remains objective, to ensure true justice is served.
You know, if only they had an investigative arm of the department that could separate the truth from the lies…
This is awful, especially if the offshore centres are anything like Australia’s.
Honestly, I think that nuclear reactor project is a good idea. But opinions definitely do vary. 
CBS is the most conservative of the former big-three networks. I still expected better reporting, which was a mistake. Today’s episode of CBS Sunday Morning was focused on the issue of police reform. Instead of a view into job performance, spending, and how could it be improved, it was full of copaganda and false equivalences like this:
They had multiple segments or commentary about cops killed in the line of duty, as though that’s equivalent to cops* harming and/or killing unarmed members of the public. The piece by Ted Koppel about restoring trust in the police included interviews with Black officers, so they could give the usual lines about how they’re perceived by some in the Black community (nothing about their blue brethren) and that DWB means you can’t act the same as white people. 
Worse, that last bit of duh, no shit, was the response about the incident when an Army officer in uniform was pepper sprayed and assaulted by police while complying like the interviewee advised we should.
TIL the revolving door between the cops and “private security consultant” jobs might be more of a concern than former private military contractors. Also, there’s a new line cops are being asked to parrot. Multiple officers basically said police are a part of government, and their problems/incidents of excessive force are a result of are being failed by the government. They’re pointing out being asked to do too much outside their traditional role. This is the excuse/blame game they’re using for cases when officers acted in ways beyond the bounds of basic human decency, as well as against the laws they’re supposed to enforce. 
*The comments and way it was framed made it seem as if the two murderers of Eric Garner and George Floyd were the reason all cops are in trouble now, and just one video away from a scandal. Nothing systemic to see here, folks, just a few bad apples making the rest look so evil some poor police officers are retiring early to get away from all the stress they’re under now. 
I disagree. I don’t believe it can be made safe enough over the long term, nor is it all that “green” over all.
Also, given the utter fiasco of the plant down on the GA coast, I don’t see why anyone would want to go that way.
and yet, here in texas, when local governments try to move those functions to agencies and people more qualified to deal with them as well as redirecting funding to do so our governor and attorney general declare they’re trying to “defund the police” and destroy civilization as we know it. have i mentioned how much i despise the g.o.p death cult?
that’s not just texas. that’s every police union and fraternal organization ( are their no sororal police groups? )
but it goes hand in hand with fascism probably. so at least they’re consistent for once.
where the right wing believes the only function of government is the military and the police. and you’ve got to give them all the dollars to force everyone into line. all that social service stuff is only necessary because people are criminals, or they’re lazy, or druggies.
if you stomp out all the crime and make an arrest for every broken window, all the “good” people can live their lives problem free
Son of a bitch.
What the actual fuck?
The senator asserted that “the fundamental right to vote has itself become overtly politicized,”
Seriously, fuck that guy.
