@GottaLaff if the Secret Service is protecting you in jail, the agents would need to be pretty good actors to keep the illusion of secrecy.

I wish I knew more about this project in San Luis Potosí, Mexico.
I suspect this is part of bus driver training.

I'm imagining the DMV making it a part of every driving test for your license. Some people learn best by experiencing the consequences of their actions from the victim's perspective.

Successive scenes of a person on a stationary exercise pedaling away as a bus zooms by very close to them in a controlled parking lot with cones environment. All of the 'bikers' shown shirk and lean away from the force and fear of a bus passing too closely.

We have this kind of training for the bus drivers and bikers in Santiago, usually on June third, “Global Bicycle Day”. It has great activities and prizes!

@stroughtonsmith there’s something to be said when you stab reality with a red pin and begin to join those with red twine.
You should be able to go and plant said pins on the forehead of the alleged culprits, follow the crimson thread wherever it leads you.

Six workers fell off of the Key bridge and drowned. I gotta think that's grounds for a manslaughter charge for the ship's captain and owner.

@mralancooper I thought the same until learning that they had lost command of the ship, the electric power went off.
The whole thing is a tragedy: poor people. It must have been horrible.

I've been rewatching some of my old videos for something I'm working on and wow ... they are boring as hell. I can't believe that my channel ever took off with these early snoozefest videos.

Even I need to watch them at 2x speed, and I made them!!

This one in particular, I remember being "emotional" and "edgy". Uh ... no. It's slow and monotone.

They're all like this. In fact, this one is better than most.

@GottaLaff it is important to understand that the bond is actually great news for Carrol, who will get her money automatically once the appeal process ends, instead of a years long process asking the courts for the money and cajoling with Trump.

The Kansas Republican Party hosted a fundraiser last Friday

During which, attendees could pay to assault an effigy of President Biden

Remember when simply criticizing Trump or Bush policies would trigger the right—causing them to scream “it’s unamerican to disrespect the president!”

These are deplorables

Large republicans kicking a punching dummy dressed up like the sitting president of the United States. One of the most bland “come together” moderates and they’re this triggered.

The decision would be in keeping with a tradition that dates back to 1952, but it would mark the first time an admin has volunteered to share classified information with a candidate who is facing criminal charges on charges that he mishandled classified documents." https://www.politico.com/news/2024/03/07/biden-intel-briefings-trump-00145651
