I would "let's roll" someone doing this on my flight.
Hemant MehtaEvangelist Whitney Lynn says she preaches on planes because she loves “a captive audience.” She's not alone. It's becoming a trend. If spreading your message requires listeners who can't escape, maybe it's not as compelling as you think. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/christian-...

I wonder if these articles mention that he's a convicted criminal who fled Japan ahead of an insider-trading scandal?
Oliver Willisthe reason democrats keep losing is because of people like rahm emanuel (who the media is obsessed with promoting but who has no actual constituency outside of the clintons and the media)

I worked at Disney a while ago. Do you know why theme parks are so safe? Because OOSHA reps can walk the track on any ride at any time and any safety violation they see is a $10,000 fine. Each. Theme parks are not safe because the company cares. They're safe because it's cheaper to comply.

HP/WB appears to have been aggressively pushing for partnerships in advance of screening the HP films in theaters for the 25th anniversary. Tim Hortons (big "Canadian" coffee chain) also announced one today. Will likely see more of this. No forgiveness for any of these businesses.

We also discuss the tremendous victory of fighting off the warehouse model for the regime’s concentration camps, and where the fight goes from here.

Don MoynihanWhen journalists asked me about where we would see the effects of DOGE, my answer was a) during crises and b) for the big services that interact with the public like SSA, VA and IRS. So lets check in on the IRS: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

“Palestine protests are treated differently in Britain to all other forms of activism. Direct action is regarded as terrorism and words on a placard are rendered illegal. The only time our equipment has been seized and destroyed was when it related to Palestine.” https://bit.ly/3S0QUqP

There's just a lot of very vague stuff in the Scottish media about a demo and a counter-demo and police arresting people and disorder and streets being shut down, without explicitly saying: a) the anti-migrant demo was very small b) it was anti-migrant protesters *specifically* who attacked people
