Steven King's "It" hurting the clown business

There are good clowns on both sides of this. No clown has ever been treated so unfairly. Poor Pennywise. SAD!

Watch: Aggressive cop pulls gun on motorcyclist and bullies him for no good reason

I get the feeling you and I have gone camping together. If so, I’m sorry.

A pacifist minister reflects on the antifa who protected protesters from Charlottesville's armed Nazis

I love the idea of non-violence, of Ghandi’s ahimsa, as an ideal. I wish it were universally viable. I think the reason it was effective against the British, philosophically speaking, is that the Brits’ objective was control; their willingness to use force and violence was a tool to enforce that. When the Indians stood up against that, allowing themselves to be hit, it forced the soldiers to see their humanity, to confront what they themselves were doing and the terrible things they’d have to …

About 40% of "worker" ants just hang around, doing nothing

ANTifa?

I am going to be chuckling all day at this.

Denny's new mascot looks like a turd

“…and I’d like some sausage with those eggs, please.” “Of course, ma’am. Would you like the eggs sunny up, or over easy?” “Over easy, please.” “And for the sausage, would you prefer Type 3, or Type 4?” “Excuse me…what?” [waiter flips menu over] “We’ve included this chart for your convenience, ma’am; now, Type 3 or Type 4 for the sausage?” [bristol]

Cyber-arms dealer offers $1m for zero-day Tor hacks

Tor, Tails and the like are open source projects, they don’t have the funds to offer a bounty like this. Now what would be really interesting, if Tor would introduce a exploit on purpose, make it really short lived or only functional in specific testing situations. Create a hacker alias, claim the bounty and close the exploit. Suddenly this cash strapped, practically volunteer run organization, has a major cash injection, received from the same unethical people that are looking to screw them ov…

I like that post so much, it needs exponential big-ups.

Naomi Klein: How to Resist Trump’s Shock Doctrine

Trump repeats claim 'both sides' share Charlottesville violence blame: Left has 'pretty bad dudes' also

I don’t know how to convey the essence of my frustration with you directly on these points, I will just share a story: After Trump fired off the transgender military ban tweet, I was motivated to take to the streets and protest. My very first rally, a rally for trans veterans, we had a nazi from Virginia in our crowd taking notes on the speakers and Proud Boys watching from the bar across the street. The next day there was to be a protest against the ACA repeal / for universal healthcare. I wa…

The juggalos, class struggle, and the left

Not all of the alt-right are Nazis. Not all Nazis are alt-right. Not all of the white supremacists in the alt right are neo-Nazis and so forth. The alt right is a catchall term for a slate of inter-related far right movements largely constituting the new mysoginist movement (Men’s Rights, Red Pill, “Pick-up artists” etc), the reignited white supremecist and white nationalist movements and this thing called The Dark Enlightenment. That last bit being effectively a group of neo-monarchists, chr…

ubiquitousness of mobile phones which are also mobile video and audio recorders we now have more than enough evidence to prove what has been asserted for decades, to demonstrate clearly what has heretofore been treated as speculation, to show to any who have eyes held open to the light of truth, that our police forces are as much a danger to the public they supposedly serve as the putative criminals they are supposed to be protecting us from through their callous disregard for human life. and not only that, but the ways in which they disregard the public safety is so consistent as to be an inherent part of their training with only a minority of police forces receiving training which evinces a consistent high priority for the lives of both the public in general and any suspect in their crosshairs. to be offended by casual assertions excusing the actions of police who killed someone who was of little danger to them as long as they stayed more than 3 or 4 meters away from them is not the result of some kind of inquisition but is instead the natural reaction of anyone who is repulsed by the needless taking of life and collaterally repulsed by those excusing that kind of police conduct. it isn’t a failure to condemn every police action that is the problem here, it is the active attempt to excuse the inexcusable. at this point in our history there is no one putting the police in a less charitable light than the police themselves.

Police officer ignorantly and aggressively detained autistic boy who was just stimming

This is like the boiling frog analogy - don’t you people realise you’re living in a POLICE STATE!? so what if he had been intoxicated, so what if he was acting weird - the issue here is not how to deal with autistic people it’s your out of control authoritarian state.
