Various ramblings and rants on my views of the world...no matter how dysfunctional they may seem.

Well. Yes. Very nice

   "Who's there?" a voice called out from the other side of the window where they sat. Startled by the voice, their laughter stopped abruptly and they looked to each other with wide, frightened eyes. Jenna couldn't tell whether it was a man or woman who had called out, but expected someone to burst out the front door at any moment. They waited. Jenna, mentally locating the Glock she had put in the side pocket of the backpack she carried, didn't know if she could grab it quickly enough to protect them if someone came out.

Two hours into her drive on SR-22 West, Jenna realized what a terrible mistake it had been to decide to leave at night. For the past hour, she had been driving through an almost comically impenetrable fog. She was close to Somerville and the speed limit was 45 miles per hour, but she couldn't come close to it. She was really hovering at about twenty, but had been moving much slower than that at times. Thankfully so, since she had also had to stop dead in the road because of a random car either sitting dead center of her lane or not pulled nearly off the road enough.  Still, Jenna was nearly two hours into her trip and wished she had just stayed at her house and started after daylight. What a dumb-ass, stubborn choice she had made! If nothing else, Jenna Owens was one to stick to her guns!

DC's Missing Teens: What's True and What's Not

An Instagram post claiming 14 girls had disappeared in D.C. over a 24-hour period went viral across social media Thursday. But that post is inaccurate.

A good resource.

The Noid infected pop culture so much in the ‘80s that he crossed into the realm of t-shirts, toys, and video games. But he mercifully disappeared from our TV screens by the '90s, not because the ads weren’t selling pizzas, but because of the kind of public relations nightmare that only a mentally ill gunman could create.

In January 1989, a man carrying a .357 Magnum revolver broke into an Atlanta Domino’s restaurant and held two employees hostage for five hours. 

Eventually, the hostages escaped and the man was apprehended. His name? Kenneth Lamar Noid.

That was no coincidence. Kenneth Noid had been suffering from a dark carnival of brain problems that led him to believe that the bombardment of TV commercials inviting pizza fans to “avoid the Noid” were making fun of him, personally. The advertising campaign drove his psychosis to the point that he believed the Domino’s Pizza Illuminati were breaking into his apartment while he was away to monitor him.

As of 1/30/2017: The lawyers at JFK are saying their biggest need right now is translators. Please share this with your contacts: If you are an Arabic or Farsi speaker in NYC and are able to provide real-time translations please get in contact with the NY ACLU or the international refugee assistance project. Folks are still needed at terminal 4 at JFK. Share with your networks!

Trump Acts To Sabotage Obamacare Enrollment, Days Before Deadline

He ordered the government to halt ads and emails, which could mean fewer signups and higher premiums.

He may stop the ads, but nothing beats old fashioned word of mouth. Make sure everyone you know (and those you don’t know) they can still sign up for obamacare/ACA until January 31st! 

the more people sign up, the less eager republicans will repeal it, especially those in swing states and districts, and we only need three GOP senators to vote no on repeal. 

[tetrahedrals]

Hey folks, PLEASE reblog info about this if you can today. They have cancelled all ads and emails alerting people to the fact that the deadline is at the end of this month in an attempt to sabotage enrollment. Jan 31st is the last chance people will have to get on this plan.

 Doesn’t have to be this post, just please spread the word however you can!

There are no US ambassadors because Donald Trump just fired them all

Shortly after Donald Trump was sworn into office as the 45th President of the United States, all foreign ambassadors were fired and with no concrete replacement ambassadors lined up. Mr Trump had demanded that every ambassador in countries all over the world, who had been appointed by former President Barack Obama, were told to leave their offices by midday on 20 January and with no grace period.

Here is probably the most interesting part of the article.

It is common policy, however, that politically appointed ambassadors resign at the start of a new administration. It is less common to have no replacements in line.

As many as 80 ambassadors for countries, agencies and issues - such as the ambassador for global women’s issues - have been discarded at once.

The move now threatens leaving many countries without Senate-confirmed envoys for months and cutting off a direct line to the President, and some in countries which have sensitive relations to the US.

[reverseracism]

Wait… seriously?

[reverseracism]

Seriously and it’ll take a while to fill those spots.

[cinematik-deactivated20180629]

apparently what happened (if i’m not mistaken) is that these ambassadors traditionally offer up their resignation at the start of a new presidency but almost always keep their position, like the resignation is just a symbolic gesture? but trump’s team didn’t realize that and they actually accepted people’s resignations but they can’t admit that the trump admin is actually that fucking stupid so they’re just….going with it

[bibliomancer7]

Also, while ambassadors are typically replaced, they usually don’t have to pack their bags and be gone by the inauguration. They stick around while replacements are found, their kids finish the school year, whatever. It’s almost like Trump is more into the power trip of firing people than in making sure the government is able to function.

[kneedeepinquags]

Think about this for a second. When a man or woman is an abuser in a relationship, what are the first things they do? Isolate the abused and convince them that they are the only trustworthy person they know. This piece of garbage is pulling the oldest trick in the book!

Trump and the former President of Mexico acting like bitchy high school girls on social media. 

It’s like The West Wing meets Mean Girls.
