Why else would there be an episode about the Pig War? And in the episode Road Trip Helga and her mom drive past a Welcome To Washington State sign as they're driving home.

#9. If the Clone Wars taught us anything it's that the inverse is more likely. Anakin killed those younglings with his quirky homemade contraptions that he set up around the temple and because those kids were taught that the only way out of a building is a clearly marked exit they just lined up for the door handle lightsaber trap.

A friend of mine working in a state capitol told me one showed up one day and when the security guard for the building passed the receptionist a note the guy shouted "I'm making a public records request for that note" which pretty much just said call my work cell if he starts to be a problem. Dude was going around to all the nearby buildings and trying to request their indexes of public records and getting mad that everyone said they'd need his contact info to send it to the records person.

They also like to show up at government offices and make insane on the spot public records requests or just film all of the employees going in and out to try to get any sort of response from people that they can use either for content or a lawsuit they can file against the state/local gov. They're just wasting people's time making legally dubious arguments about the first amendment and open government laws.

#3. Deal extra psychic damage to people crumbling to dust by mentioning Slam Bamboo as if that's the only one.

I know but for some reason people seem to think they're like a single packet that's kept in a safe that only Trump has access too or something.

More likely there were just enough dissenters that Trump realized it would pass regardless and was trying to get ahead of the issue since it's a bad look to continually block something you ran on and your own team constantly pushed and made a central part of what they were doing at first. And considering the number of copies people working with the records at the doj (career people not just stooges) and in court would have and seen there's not really a way to scrub them without raising flags.

Most likely if she hadn't and just outright refused to hear the case the conservative justices would have overode her, placed a longer stay, and then slow walked the whole thing. As much as this sucks it very likely was the smart thing for her to do to get the situation resolved without fuckery from the more corrupt bench members.

If you listen to her it's pretty clear she's being sarcastic and that's lost in the reporting. It's still a dumb thing to say but she wasn't remotely being serious.

Bungou Stray Dogs. But honestly (and I say this in the middle of rewatching the series for the third or so time) the 5ish episode focused on that character in the start of season 2 are the high point of the series and the rest doesn't really hold up as well aside from one or two each season.

He ran his shop there from 1810 to 1819. The Audubon park there is a really lovely small state park.

As an archivist, we only have people wear gloves for photographic material (like actual photographs and negatives). For paper material the gloves don't really help protect from much that's harmful and could actually cause more problems due to preventing you from accurately catching the edges of pages to turn.

#5 Hey now the dragon in Merlin was normally very upfront with his advice, it normally was that Merlin should just let bad shit happen to the Pendragons because they deserve it. Or that he should let the dragon kill Uther.

That's a fine sentiment and all but the people who own this site have been using it to sanitize the history of slavery, often presenting it as "not all bad" and the people who visit or rent the place as a venue are often the type to glorify the lost cause and downplay the horrors that was inflicted on black people in this country. There are other sites that can teach the lesson you want, little of value is being lost here.

Note that Dems have already been stonewalling this process as much as possible and Chuck is really just adding this to the list of why. He needs to go but don't act like they haven't at least been doing the bare minimum here for the last few weeks before the plane story.

They've actually already been doing this for a while. Chuck needs to go but the framing of it purely being a new thing because of the jets isn't accurate.

I mean it is as of last week but that only makes WA state the 29th I think to include clergy as mandatory reporters.

While the law is new in Washington, 20 something other states have similar ones on the books already, though most have some restrictions for the privacy of confessions, so any real challenge is unlikely to succeed I think but ianal.

Did you mean NV for Nevada which is 83 percent instead of ND for North Dakota with 3?

It was typically this if I remember my survey level anthropology class that taught basic flint knapping and "stone age" tool making skills right.

The news and government tend to low ball the numbers at mass protests like these. Between 400 and 600k is most likely based on the whole day.

They didn't have ID because the sheriff originally claimed he wasn't there for work (funny how he still thought it was ok to pepper spray her) and the guards were violating city laws requiring their uniforms say security on them.

They work for a private security company out of Hayden Idaho.

Sorry correction, she shouted a comment about a representative stealing from public land while he was speaking. The CdA police are claiming that it was an event open to the public though and are refusing a request from the sheriff to cite her for trespassing on those grounds

All she did was shout "is this a town hall or a lecture" since even if it was a republican commission event they weren't allowing public comment and everything that was presented as such was prewritten and staged.

This really highlights an issue with government employees, it's true at every level but feds are particularly bad about it in my experience. That they view themselves and their work as essential and important but people at other agencies or even the same one but doing different work as wasteful and unnecessary. They buy the whole republican talking point about inefficient government bureaucracy and think that cutting things means resources get allocated back to their work.

If she changed jobs to a different agency or to a different position/level then it's essentially being treated as a new hire and that comes with a probation period regardless of time working with the government in general.
