That’s a great question!

In the 90s (at least) I remember you could call in to different shows with your drama or weird problems, for a “chance” to be on the show. Sometimes they’d have specific subjects, like “are you stuck in an unconventional relationship? We’d like to hear from you.”

So it’s plausible she just called the show.

It seems to have aired in May 1989. Here’s an article that talks about the backlash, and the New York Times covered it at the time too.

I am fond of one that’s been running for about thirty years and has a very friendly user base, Alter Aeon.

I actually need to log in again, now that I mention it.

Crime has been declining for years. It just dropped more because we’re over the pandemic crime surge.

Part of the reason, researchers say, is that the nation is over the hump of the pandemic.

During 2020 and 2021, homicide rates surged across the U.S. Now the nation is simply on the other side of that surge.

Gosh, who was it that was so incompetent or evil, they caused that surge?

Don’t worry, the current administration will also take full credit for the crime drop, and use it as an excuse for more shitty crackdowns.

“Terry Taylor, ‘Red Rooster’, he and I butted heads quite a bit when he got down to Florida. Triple H didn’t appreciate it. My attitude wasn’t appreciated, and it was like, ‘If one more negative report comes back, we will fire you,’”

I would be annoyed if the Red Rooster was telling me what to do too.

Why would you use a euphemism like “running out” in the title?

It’s not running out, it’s being hoarded for stupid reasons.

What happens in your program when scanf stores -1 as the value, like if it hits EOL before finding matching input?

Maybe you covered this and I missed it.

“For this alleged student at Skyline … my heart goes to them, whether they’re trans or not,” Mr. Hesson says in the clip. “Just having that much negative eyeball on you and rhetoric is like incredible. The amount of pressure that you feel as a 16 or 17 or 18 year old, to have to deal with that. … I would not wish that on anybody.”

Jeez, what a monster…

They didn’t even bury the lede! Three words in. Amazing

One-sentence horror story!

Maybe I’m wrong but the whole thing seemed like bullshit. No other news organization I can find has picked this story up, after ten hours. Obviously no one can replicate the results.

About thirty minutes ago, USA Today published an article that Trump’s name is in plain text several times in documents released today. No redaction copy and paste necessary.

People are eating it up though.

The incompetence is… here! 😱

Rob Sheridan (kinda) has you covered! But it’s gifts and people and not the tree.

He was the art director of Nine Inch Nails and I remembered it from then (2007). He’s one of my favorite visual artists!

(Unrelated, but his glitch art is worth seeing too! Website)

Has anyone actually tried this?

I did. I checked both the “Masseuses” and the “Contact Book,” (mentioned in the X comments as being not redacted correctly), and they seem to be redacted properly. I’ve tried 3 PDF readers, but I’d be curious what actually works.

You have to scroll a while in the original comments to find someone who actually tried it, and it didn’t work for them either.

It’s hilarious that everyone is just believing it though.

Yay, someone else is actually covering it!

Reminder that “second amendment rights” meant something different before the National Rifle Association and other gun lobbies redefined the term in the 1980s. They sold a lot of guns.

There was such a huge push before Clinton was elected in 1992 that the Waco tragedy and the Oklahoma City bombing can be directly connected to the “they’ll take your guns” panic.

The laws ban most semiautomatic rifles and other firearms from being registered with the police department. This makes any possession of those guns illegal. AK-47s and AR-15s are among those that are illegal. Those owning those guns can face misdemeanor charges and fines.

The action “underscores our ironclad commitment to protecting the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding Americans,”

That exact world was owned by Donald Trump for twenty years. He bragged about being able to go backstage where the young women were undressed.

Of course it’s insane.

what could go wrong

Vaccines that prevent diseases are questionable, but brand new weight loss drugs are totally fine! I’m sure getting tons of people on it long-term won’t have any side effects. They can just take it for the rest of their lives, right?

Does anyone else remember the Fen/Phen debacle in the 1990s? It was a widely-available weight-loss drug that caused heart problems.

The findings indicated that approximately 30 percent of people who had taken the combination for up to 24 months had abnormal echocardiograms, even though they had no symptoms.

There were more than 50,000 liability lawsuits.

I really love all the lettering. That store sign is amazing!

A lot of old (or old style, also sometimes Jewish) delis still use the full word, especially in the eastern U.S.

As an example, Katz’s Delicatessen in New York is one of the most famous.

Here’s a sign for one in Philadelphia, and here’s one in Baltimore.

Outside of that, no. I’m not even sure I saw the full word anywhere else unless they were referring to old east coast delis!

The title of the NYT article is genuinely embarrassing.

Obama Supported It. The Left in Canada and Norway Does. Why Don’t Democrats?

Well gosh if Canada sold out, why shouldn’t everyone?
