For anyone interested in the shared blood-lust of political regimes and Christianity, this is a good read.

I have little doubt that modern American Xians of the MAGA variety (i.e. most of them) would relish the chance of imposing their will on fellow citizens by similar (and probably more awful) means.

Election denier and 'MyPillow Guy' Mike Lindell confirms he's out of money, can't pay legal bills (news.yahoo.com)

Attorneys who’ve been defending MyPillow chief executive and election denier Mike Lindell against defamation lawsuits by voting machine companies are seeking court permission to quit, saying he owes them unspecified millions of dollars and can’t pay the millions more that he’ll owe in legal expenses going forward....

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think you get a public defender in a civil suit. From TFA it sounds like Pillow Crybaby isn’t facing any criminal charges (yet).

Me either, unless he’s just trying to get into the news so fellow MAGA morons will see how completely fucked he is and will financially support him.

Ever the pitchman, Lindell, known as the MyPillow Guy, asked viewers of his webcast who wanted to help to call in and buy his pillows, towels and other products.

Home and a pickup and an Audi something-or-other apparently. Also from the photo he likes to wear Xian bling … that gold ring ought to be worth a couple thou-, maybe more if it was melted down and the curse was off. He’s probably got drawers full of gaudy crap like the ring and the lapel pin, maybe Smartmatic and Dominion will settle for the jewelry and a few pillows?

Rape, beatings and racial slurs: None of it was enough to shut down this Idaho youth facility - InvestigateWest (www.invw.org)

Just another day in Idaho. Feel free to send your kids (preferably girls of course) to ID and into the hands of companies like this, for a heapin’ helpin’ of abuse. Society and state gov’t there will be happy to look the other way, as long as there’s profit to be made....

[Spokane,WA] Conservative Christians protest proposed censure of Woodward (rangemedia.co)

The “Shea” mentioned here is the most foul Christofascist the PNW has to offer. The Spokane mayor, Woodward, is in tight with him (and Republican C. McMorris-Rodgers, and of course Trump) though being a little more discreet these days after catching general hell for attending one of his wingnut moneymaking events....

Yep, just another “cost of doing business” for the builder. The big worry is of course the cost to the Company of finding another skilled worker willing to risk their neck for low pay and abuse, and the cost of project delays.

Want to know more about what happened and what’s being done to remedy the safety problems at the job site? Well just piss off, because

Laveron Vetter has not seen the entirety of L&I’s investigation, just the citation, because inspections involving a death are confidential per Washington State Law.

You, peon, do not have a Need To Know. Of course you can always ask the Company.

SAK Builders did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

inexplicably, in early October of last year, the city quietly approved an entirely different LUCS for Zenith Energy without even informing the public that a second application was in the works.

“It all happened without any public input,” Audrey Leonard, a staff attorney with Columbia Riverkeeper, told DeSmog. Columbia Riverkeeper was formally involved in litigation defending the city’s initial rejection of Zenith’s LUCS. “It seemed like this was kept behind closed doors on purpose to just sort of have it be a done deal by the time it was public.”

new documents and email communications obtained by DeSmog show that there is more to the story. Both city commissioners Dan Ryan and Carmen Rubio, and their top staff, were not only involved in the process, but appear to have played an influential role in coordinating the effort to push Zenith’s new LUCS application over the finish line. That contradicts the public narrative that the LUCS was the result of a routine administrative process at the bureaucratic level, with elected officials above the fray.

Emails from Zenith’s lobbyists at Pac/West Communications show that Zenith’s outreach to city council began as soon as the company’s legal challenges began to run into trouble. On February 2, a state land use board ruled that Portland had the authority to reject the permit, as long as the city provided some more evidence to justify its decision. That same day, Zenith reached out to Commissioner Ryan to invite him to visit its site. That appears to be the beginning of an effort that would last several months to court Ryan and Rubio, with the goal of getting the city commissioners to visit the site. The overtures continued through the spring, including to Rubio’s office.

Rubio’s chief of staff, Jillian Schoene, appears to have played a significant role in the city’s relationship with Zenith over the summer, having met with lobbyists hired by Zenith, Pac/West Communications, on at least two occasions, in June and July.

Government gets the upper hand over giant fossil-fuel company’s environmentally risky plans, company’s future profit growth is partly imperiled, company finds government officials in key positions willing to meet with its leadership and with its lobbyists, government backs down, company profit growth plans back on track. Nothing to see here, no corruption whatsoever, move along everyone.

I’m interested in learning about what hands were greased and how. Will it be the usual campaign contributions, or will it be private jet trips to remote private resorts? The latter seems to be in vogue at the moment.

I’m into field watches and Fliegers and I love the look of this. Reminds me of my Seiko 5 SNK auto. I have freakishly small wrists so 40mm is a bit too big whereas the mid-30s Seiko is just right. I’m not familiar with this brand, would be interested in hearing what kind of rep it’s got given the price-point.

He became the first Black mayor of a rural Alabama town. Then a white minority locked him out (www.theguardian.com)

A significant percentage of Newbern residents, Black and white, live below the poverty level. When Lewis, who was born in Newbern, moved her family back to the area, she decided to open a non-profit that would provide needed services, like food distributions, to people across Hale county....

The fact that we have a world that is still so controlled by religions is disgusting.

Especially religions that provide absolutely zero Slack for your money. “Bob” is my savior, and he can be yours too, for a price. Terms and Conditions apply. Not available in stores.

Google's AI Bots Tout 'Benefits' of Genocide, Slavery, Fascism, Other Evils (www.tomshardware.com)

If you asked a spokesperson from any Fortune 500 Company to list the benefits of genocide or give you the corporation’s take on whether slavery was beneficial, they would most likely either refuse to comment or say “those things are evil; there are no benefits.” However, Google has AI employees, SGE and Bard, who are more...

Rouge: noun, A red or pink cosmetic for coloring the cheeks or lips.

You want that stuff all over the net? And just who is going to clean it all up when you’re done? The bot surely won’t - it’ll just claim that it hasn’t been trained on cleaning.

You’re in the running for a BoneAppleTea Prize, so that’s something. There’s also the Nobel Prize but that’s overrated IMO. The real glory is with the Ig Nobel, you should consider submitting your work there.
