The sun will likely set today.

That’s excellent news.

Reminder that Pennsylvania was one of the states where Russian terrorists called in bomb threats to shut down polling sites in heavily democrat areas to help Republicans win.

Ok, but that doesn’t really narrow it down. Who should we be focused on?

Yes, that part was surprising and funny.

I don’t think Denzel can do an African accent. He didn’t do one for the Gladiator sequel because he thought it would be disrespectfully bad. So whoever he plays will probably be an American.

That’s an interesting idea about Killmonger, though. Maybe in an alternate universe where he managed to keep the throne, Killmonger conquered the world and realized the problem of violent revolution. So now he’s a mentor to Touissant, but leading him down a questionably violent path.

I don’t think anyone sincerely believed that protest voters were ever going to have a significant impact. I think all of the noise you heard was astroturf designed to knock Harris from both sides of the Israel political position.

It would be cool to see him as Blue Marvel, but they’d have to explain why he wasn’t helping the Avengers before.

News is a product, and hype is marketing. Getting you to consume their content is a sale, and they are comfortable lying to you to get you to read it. But notice that in both cases, the message is that government is ineffective. Either it is an overreaction or an utter failure at protecting consumers. Both are lies.

There shouldn’t be a recall at all, just an announcement that the butter wasn’t labeled properly for people allergic to milk products.

That’s a recall. Even if it’s just an announcement with no further action, it’s called a recall. In this case, it is a Class 2 recall, which means low risk and minimal effort. Retailers and distributors cannot continue to sell an improperly labelled product, so they are returning it to the manufacturer so it can be relabelled and sold, or discarded. Consumers are told they can discard it if they have a milk allergy, or they can use it because there’s nothing else wrong with it. If there is waste, it is the manufacturer’s fault. The system is working as intended with good effect.

There should be a recall, because the butter wasn’t properly labelled and they need to let people know, even if there is minimal risk.

The couch cushions can be placed on the floor to sleep 3 small infants, and then three more infants can sleep on the exposed couch springs if you cover them with a blanket. Linens not provided, sleeps 7.

I’m really confused about what you think should be done differently. A product recall is an announcement that there’s something wrong with the product, and an offer of a refund. The “something wrong” is that the allergen info was not properly labelled. It’s your choice whether you want to get a refund or not.

The news media is trying to make it sound like stupid government and stupid consumer protections and stupid regulations, when in fact it was stupid manufacturing.

The completely reasonable thing you said you wanted is exactly what is happening, and you’re mad about it and blaming the thing that’s working exactly to your benefit and exactly the way you want it to, because that’s the intent of the article.

You, right now, are being manipulated to manufacture outrage. It’s being done by people who want to profit from exploiting you. They want deregulation, so they will spin every story into something that makes you angry at regulations, especially when it is entirely reasonable and good government.

Right. That’s what a recall is. Kirkland can’t put stickers on something they have already sold.

You’re not alone. The news media is a shit-stirring business run by oligarchs who want you to question science and government regulations. This is a relatively benign example, but it’s a transparent one. The way the headline grabs you, the way it’s written, and the social media commentary, it’s all created to benefit the wealthy and make you think you’re on their side.

Costco forced to recall food that was not labeled to the requirements. In this case, the butter is supposed to be labelled as containing milk. Now, you and me, we know that butter is made from milk or cream, but only a great fool would assume everyone knows what they know.

And, these labels aren’t just for the lactose intolerant consumer. The allergen information is fed to computers that handle the automated distribution of products to various uses. That butter might end up as one of a hundred ingredients in a prepackaged donut. If the allergen isn’t on the label, the person doing data entry may not realize it. Disney World killed a doctor just last year because of allergen exposure, and that shit happens all the time. It only made the news because Disney tried to enforce an arbitration clause the husband digitally accepted when he tried out Disney+.

The point is, this is not a story about overregulation or snowflakes being too sensitive. Costco fucked up, and their fuckup puts lives at risk. If you happened to buy the improperly labelled butter, congrats on your good fortune, because Costco is going to pay you for their fuckup. You don’t have to discard perfectly good butter unless you cannot have dairy, and you didn’t yet know that butter contains milk.

More to the point, if progressive women stop having children, we’re going to have a generation of little conservative dipshits.

Ross Perot never had a real shot. The ruling parties would not have permitted it.

Honestly call or email the Democratic party

Do it because it will be cathartic, but don’t do it expecting them to listen. Progressives need a new tack if we’re actually going to save humanity from ourselves. (Spoiler, we probably won’t)

People always say they’re going to leave if something happens. But emigration is really hard, and living in a foreign country is not all bicycles and universal healthcare. Nowhere is perfect, and leaving your job and family and favorite pizza place is a lot more work than most people imagine.

There’s a lot of fake everything.

I recently saw a pair of AITA posts with nearly identical stories, just with the genders reversed. It was a transparent attempt to gather data on gender differences when it comes to relationship advice.

Nothing is real. These are just words on a screen.

Democrats under Biden implemented one of the most pro-working class agendas in decades,

there was no real, tangible results for most working class adults.

Both things can be true.
