On May 9, 2023, a Tunisian policeman opened fire on Jewish worshipers gathered for an annual pilgrimage on the Jewish holiday of Lag B’Omer, killing two and injuring four.
Yes, that is exactly how radical right fascists define the upside down flag. What does she think this proves?
This has been a symbol among right wing anarchists and whìte nationalists for years that liberalism and immigration have placed the nation in peril. The fact that a supreme court justice believes that the US government needs to be dismantled should be immediate cause for dismissal.

A generation ago, most funeral homes were mom-and-pop places, often in the business for generations; think “6 Feet Under” if you ever watched it.
Like most other industries, they have now mostly been eaten up by conglomerates that have no connection to the community and only care about the bottom line. Companies like the $10-billion Service Corp Int’l or Assurant, Inc. (which literally sound like 90s TV villains) have wrecked the industry.
It’s an expensive thing that most people will only use once or twice in their lifetime (the family makes the decisions more often that the deceased). It is an area in which most people are ignorant, so they just sort of trust that the people providing the service are doing what they say. If you’ve never paid for a coffin, you probably have no idea what one costs. You don’t know the difference between a good one and a bad one. So imagine an industry where the customer is usually in a mentally vulnerable state, has little to no information, little ability to make a price comparison, is ready to spend thousands of dollars, and will never inspect or verify the product.
Now add that it is a multibillion dollar industry and you can appreciate how easy and how enticing it is for big companies to drive out the family businesses. Those sort of practices also pressure small operations to operate dishonestly in order to compete, and create room for fraudsters to muscle in.
I don’t care if you are having your ashes spread in the ocean or shot into space, or if you are donating your body or being buried in a cardboard box. Find a local, family owned funeral home, set an appointment. They can help you with whatever your plans are.
Wow, thanks for that. So, what do you recommend about finding a good one?
I’ve seen a lot of people put off finding one or just using whoever shows up first on Google - and often they are worse off for it. I’ve always lived in cities and been involved in the kind of communities where I have a relationship with high quality directors.
I haven’t been able to find any explanation from Harvard about who the specific students were, or why they were singled out for punishment. Does anybody know? Were they the leaders of the protest? Were they accused of specific acts that were considered more serious than what other students did? I saw one article that said two of them are Rhodes Scholars, but I can’t find much more information.
Vertical tabs will be huge for me. On a big monitor, I don’t really mind one way or the other, but I use a tiny little screen on my linux laptop. there is not a lot of vertical real estate to go around, so vertical tabs will be a game-changer.
If the AI features are actually useful (like the automatic page translation they did recently), then I’m all for it.
Sorry, but If my employer asked me to defend a p3do and blame a 9-yo instead, I might just have to take that golden parachute. There are plenty of other high-paying corporate law positions out there.
