Disney World has announced it is closing due to Hurricane Ian. While many think it is for obvious safety reasons, the actual reason is if the power goes out and they lose containment the animatronics from Small World will be free to feed.

If you aren’t aware, a Twitter employee responded to Musk calling out some of his bullshit and got fired. Elonistas are responding with “Haha, way to get fired!” and I don’t think they understand that when an experienced adult does this they don’t expect to keep their job.
I see a Uncle Fester is trending and while I’m not sure why this is a good time to point out that the actor who originally played Uncle Fester is the reason California enacted laws specifically to protect child actors.

If someone who is armed throws away the gun, they are unarmed. If they then turn and comply with your order to “show me your hands,” and you shoot them, you are knowingly shooting an unarmed person.

Hey.
Hey you.
Sometimes, just sometimes, remember that behind the screen names you see on the internet there’s a real person with real emotions and feelings, and they may be trying desperately to feel okay.
In times like these, we could all do with a bit more humanity.
I’ve tried a few times today to say something, and it’s not coming out right in my head. So here:
In college some guys followed me from a gay bar, waited until I was on a dark street on my way back to my dorm, and jumped me. They beat the shit out of me while calling me a fag.
What if I told you that shooting a child who is unarmed at the time of the shooting, and is showing you they are unarmed when you shoot them, still means you shot an unarmed child...even if they had a gun earlier?

The publicity surrounding this led to the enactment of the California Child Actor's Bill which, among other things, limited the hours child actors could work and required 15% of their income be placed in trust for them - commonly known as the Coogan Act.
Another thing, just in general, regarding the kink at Pride discourse:
One of the reasons you get pushback from older queers has nothing to do with exhibitionism. It harkens back to a long-running argument in the LGBTQIA+ communities surrounding militant respectability.

Did they confiscate these from someone handing them out? An amount of due diligence is required, as edibles are illegal in Pennsylvania. It's much more likely Bensalem Police arrested someone who had these for personal use and are making a scene about the "MARY JA WANNA"

A first DUI generally costs, once you take into account insurance increases, lost wages for court time, fines, towing, license loss cost, etc., between $2,000-$4,000.
An Uber is like $20-$40.
