As always, Randall nails it.

Hey, Randall, if you are reading this: an upgoer-five style explanation of the pandemic for decision makers could be helpful right now. But then, it would also need to be broadcasted by FOX and the likes of Alex Jones, sadly. Otherwise it would not reach the White House.

Germany should reconsider its position on walls. America isnā€™t sending our best.

You know how far righters love to talk a big game about defending peopleā€™s rights to defend their own property & families? Well take a gander of what went down hereā€¦

Un-fucking-real. Literally mafia management. ā€œNice state you got here. Be really sad if something happened to it, eh?ā€ Gotta steer money away from democratic statesā€¦ Even just saying that out loud is criminal!

Nobody has any intention of building a wall.

Tasmania just hit six consecutive days with no new Covid detections, BTW.

Total detected cases remain at 225, total deaths 13.

He is a not-White. He shoved a White. Obviously he doesnā€™t know his place. Not-Whites have no right to defend themselves as against Whites! :face_vomiting:
Honestly, the ā€œvictimā€ said it all when he said he did not believe the apartment was actually a home, but a front for election. Pizzagate shooter, anyone? Seems to me this guy had every rigjt to reasonably fear for his and his familyā€™s safety.

I donā€™t know. A nice tall one around Trump Tower and Mar-a-lago - topped with razor wire and manned by border protection sounds appealing.

Hey, @Wanderfound, I hear shrooms down under are confusing people?

Oh, no, the other way roundā€¦

Shit.

As a botanist (and yes, fungi are usually dealt with under botany - chairs for fungi are rather rare) and an avid forager of fungi until 1987 (April) I have to say: only experience helps. This is an art which tends to be forgotten in many societies. And even though I am trained (professionally and privately) I already nearly poisoned a colleague with Agaricus xanthodermus.

April 1987? I would have guessed April 1986.

It was the crazy Sovereign Citizen version of ā€œCitizenā€™s Arrestā€ too. Restraining someone is only allowed if they attempt to flee. Dude was in his own house, whereā€™s he going?

Yup.

The latest batch appears to be mostly foodie fuckups, but it also doesnā€™t help that the most common psychedelic shrooms down here look very similar to some lethally nasty ones.
