He didn't say what it was. It might be a flashlight that goes into the exhaust pipe.
Really digging Reign in Slumber. Thanks for the recommendation.
On the topic of Asian metal, Voice of Baceprot just played the Glastonbury festival, which is pretty awesome. All-female Indonesian band.
Also, the dude who works at the gas station down the street introduced me to Minerva, a Bangladeshi metal band.
There's a small craft brewery in small-town Wisconsin that partnered with a coffee roaster to make a canned coffee called "Woke". The coffee is pretty good, and the beer is damn good.
They piss off the local right-wing government, so they're constantly getting shut down, but it usually only lasts a couple weeks.
The only ability you have in French is to judge. It's what the language is for.

Bikes are popular in Seattle, but I'm not sure I'd call it a bike-friendly city. Tons of rain, tons of hills, tons of bridges, tons of crappy roads. We put bike lanes in a bunch of places, but a lot of them still have to go through confusing intersections or only cover part of your commute. Add on the new trend of no-hands driving, it's still pretty dangerous.

Or when a cop punched a 16-year-old girl in the face for yelling at him.
Or when they beat up an old man for getting on a bus with a golf club he was using as a walking stick.
Or when they beat up a guy while yelling "I'm gonna beat the Mexican piss out of you"
Or when they shoot a native dude in the back from 20 feet away because he had a small knife.
I'm not going to give Seattle PD the benefit of the doubt. They have a long history of violent abuse, especially towards minorities.
My coworkers say that I've got resting murder face. When I'm just zoning out not paying attention to anything, I apparently look like I'm actively searching for something rusty to stab you with.
If nothing else, a huge chunk of Trump's voting base would not be ok with a black guy being one heart attack away from the presidency.
That might be more than wishful thinking. Gantz has personally overseen the invasion of Gaza twice, and he joined the war cabinet right after 10/7. He is definitely no friend to Gaza.
Calling him a centrist is only true in that he's slightly left of Bibi, which is saying nothing.
I have a vague memory of listening to him on the radio in NY way back in the day and he was a legit sports analyst. Then a couple years later he showed up on national broadcasts and was completely different. Maybe my memory is failing me, but I don't remember him starting as an obnoxious talking head.
We had a tiny chance when Obama and Rouhani were talking. Hell, at one point we had a treaty. There was a road map and some hope.
Then Trump fucked it all up for no reason, along with all the other shit he pulled.
It's the classic problem. Democrats can't get anything done, Republicans get the wrong thing done. Been that way as long as I can remember.
I'd at it's more 'there are two regional powers here, Israel and Iran. The more aid we give Israel the easier it makes Iran"
Edit: weaker* it makes Iran
Fucking autocorrect.
No. They just know that Republicans and their cable news sycophants will do the exact thing they did with the Hur report.
Ignore the overall findings, find one sentence in it that spins it negative, soundbite the fuck out of it, and repeat it ad nauseum.
And yes, this is the same thing Trump did. And Obama. And Bush. This has been a standard move for decades. It's just news now because of the regressive morons in congress and their orange dictator-in-waiting.
Roller derby in the 70s was likely scripted. Modern roller derby is almost definitely not. Tons of legit athleticism and power out there.
It's a little dated by now, but watch Blood on the Flat Track. It's about the Roller Derby resurgence from 15ish years ago.
Then the Seahawks had to sign him under the official NFL 'you break it, you bought it' clause.
