On Google's monkeying around with search:

"Google controls the roads. If tomorrow they decide the roads won't go to an entire town, that town dies. It's too much power to just shrug and say, 'Oh well, it's just the free market.'"

I wonder if US Congress members do as much for EVERY OTHER AMERICAN WHO VIOLATES THE LAW IN ANOTHER COUNTRY

or if it is just for firearms, which the US seems to think are their God-given right and as vital as prescription meds to bring on holiday. Or something.

Scientists have warned of increased turbulence, particularly “clear air turbulence” which is harder to detect or forecast, as global heating warms air at higher altitudes and makes weather more unpredictable.

I’m not saying that everything done by the Mayor’s office and departments under their direct control is sleazy, essentially corrupt and self-interested. But I’m not not saying that. https://sfstandard.com/2024/05/16/operation-genesis-investigated-san-francisco-police/?utm_campaign=SF%20Standard%20Breaking%20News%20Alerts&utm_content=breaking-read-more&utm_medium=email&utm_source=SF%20Standard

If you get 5150ed, you may get 3 nights of meals and a bed, and possibly a refill on your meds and some medical care.

Or you might just be tranquilized to the eyeballs for 72 hours then pushed out the door groggy and back where you started.

If all it takes to get the government and others to declare protests not peaceful and unacceptable is for some right-wingers to show up and beat up, or even just try to beat up, some of the protestors...

Expect right-wingers to show up at A LOT of protests and beat up A LOT of people.

(Because they don't seem to get stopped by law enforcement, and even when they shoot and kill people they basically get away with it. See also attempts to basically make it okay to ram protestors with cars.)
