While we're on the subject of the anti-woke encouraging poor design, these tall front grill designs, especially on trucks, are increasing fatalities and you can't tell the drivers about it because safe design isn't manly enough for their grocery runner.
OTOH, banning asbestos is excellent news.
Yes. Used. Past tense. Does this raving fuckwit understand just how dangerous this shit is? I had to do a course about it when one of my previous jobs took me onto a construction site; scared the ever loving shit out of me.

Not to mention, long term. People decades from now will have to go through a lot of hassle if they want to be safe from potential asbestos.
(I'm sure you know that, but it bears pointing out).
This is the best tweet his week, and it's only monday
Not wanting to sound overdramatic, but the entire edifice of global science, if not wider academia, has a really massive fucking problem.
A lot of this is, bluntly, China - although it's rapidly a growing problem elsewhere, particularly India. I once had a job interview ~10 years ago with a scientific journal where they wanted someone to help sift through a lot of the stuff, because they were getting more junk than the regular editorial team could cope with. Places want academic papers for jobs and progression, and as research is hard to do, people will just make stuff up instead if they want the money and advancement. Then there are the predatory publishers, raking in $$$ for what they know is trash with no checks at all.
I heard of a naif who offered a manuscript to a predatory publisher, and when they realised how much they had to pay, tried to back out. The publisher told them if they didn't pay then the publisher would publish it under someone else's name. Unethical on a million levels, and potentially even illegal. But that's the sort of thing going on.
The wider academic community probably needs to get their fucking act together to sort this out, but I don't see that happening currently.
To be fair, there are like 20 people in the world liquid enough to front that money, and most of them hate Republicans.
No they don't. They love Republicans. When it benefits them. Just like they love Democrats when it suits them.

No. Most of them know Donny won't pay them back, so won't bother offering.
For those that will offer Donny won't accept. Because he knows he can't pay them back and when he fails 'accidents' will happen.
Kinda funny how this post and the EPA one about asbestos are back to back, it's because of the EPA we have such big trucks.
Indeed. Trump has a very long history of not paying back his debts - instead dragging creditors through endless court cases to recover their loans in the hope that they will instead accept a haircut rather than spend a ton of lawyer fees and have a large chunk of money locked up for months-years by proceedings.
And to be fair, sometimes it worked. That's why he kept doing it, and why most reputable Western financial organisations stopped lending to him. Thus why he started grubbing around in the Arabian peninsula and Russia for investors so much.
"Won't hurt me; who cares?!"
Multi-billionaires tend not to become multi-billionaires by throwing tens of millions of dollars at someone they know will never, ever pay them back.
You know that isn't necessarily true. That being said they usually get entertainment out of burning a pile of cash, and Trump isn't that entertaining.
Trump ally Brenden Dilley appears to call for "asymmetrical warfare" against Georgia judge and his family after ruling in Trump case
Content warning: This article contains profanity. Brenden Dilley — a podcast host who peddles conspiracy theories and leads a “meme team” that creates online content supporting former President Donald Trump's 2024 presidential campaign — seemed to urge his audience to use “asymmetrical warfare”...
still appreciate The Boys series acknowledging this tactic within their contemporary parody/satire narrative, though after the increasingly obvious parallels to qanon n maga politics woven into last season, am wondering how the upcoming season's writers are gonna manage curating the current state of bubbling political insanities into something understandable and entertaining.

Nope, Nex's death was ruled suicide and Nex was seen in police body camera footage at the hospital later conscious and very much alive.
It has created a very hyperbolic narrative about existential threats that it would appear some in said groups have been writing manifestos and calling for Trans days of hate / violence against those they believe are a threat.
Point, welcome to the new game everyone loses because one side decided long ago they were allowed to be as underhanded and nasty as possible.
Funny how people didn't decide to call this shit out and those that did were labelled undesirable Nazis for suggesting trying to play some kind of fair.
What comeuppance?
Massive numbers of rape threats?
Baloney. Members of one side might have decided that to a greater degree than members on the other side; that does not mean that the other members of the respective sides support that underhandedness.
Cancel culture has been around for decades, by the way.
