They have an AG who is cosplaying a law enforcement figure. That fucker has been under indictment for massive fraud for years.

Does that apply to PPE as well?

I much preferred Betty Burke, myself. (Flora MacDonald was one of my distant ancestors.)

There’s no such thing. All anyone ever gets to see is a certified copy, and that copy can differ greatly from whatever the actual original was, and there would be no way to tell.
You see this all the time with adoptees: their ‘original’ (again, really just a certified copy from the Vital Records Office) birth certificate will list their adoptive parents’ names and residence even if they were adopted a year later and are from a different state (and/or a different race).

It’s kind of amazing what companies got away with not that long ago.
20 years ago my wife worked for a firm that was based in Boston and pretty conservative and had an office here in San Diego. They had a ridiculous dress code given their competitors that were based here which were/are all pretty casual. Women were the target of most of the rules. They HAD to wear pantyhose (which hasn’t been a thing since what… the 80s?) and inside a “guidebook” that my wife showed me, there were all kinds of rules and “recommendations” about hair and the like.
It even went so far as to state that older women shouldn’t wear their hair too long so as not to look “haggish”. Yes, that was actually in the book.

Sounds like a place I worked in the early to mid 1990s. Pantyhose required, only skirts or dresses (even if not customer-facing), makeup, heeled pumps, etc. I think the single line for men was something like “business shirt, tie, and trousers, preferably with suit or sport jacket”.

Yup! The dress code for men was about 6 lines and exactly what you’d expect: dress shirt, dress pants, dress shoes, no jeans, no gym shoes. The one for women was a page long and had words I didn’t even know at the time.

That one doesn’t phase me. I’ve had horse meat. Bashimi in Japan, and Kazy in Kazakhstan. Both were delicious, and I wouldn’t mind eating them again. The moral issues with horse meat are similar to more traditional US meat sources — animal welfare, use of hormones and antibiotics, and eating an intelligent being.
I’m not going to expend political capital on it, but wouldn’t be scandalized if it became available.

I mean, the guy is obviously a huge a-hole, but I don’t see the problem with allowing horsemeat. Lots of countries do.
ETA: yeah. What @kmoser said.

I take exception to the phrase “vagina owner,” Ownership implies you can make decisions about it and you have control over it. See “gun ownership.”

Tangentially, the history of the color pink is kind of interesting, too. Its feminization in western society is relatively recent.

That’s true for a lot of things. Tights, high heels, wigs, fedoras, and I am sure dozens of other examples that were initially common for one gender and is now only for another.
