Hawaii is only sub-tropical and the best coffees all come from more tropical regions of the world (Columbia, Equador, Uganda).

I’ve been watching Peter Santanello for good independent reporting instead, but he doesn’t chase today’s hottest stories. He either explores the under represented parts of the country or follows up on major events (like the Hawaii and LA fires) months after everyone else has moved on.

teaearlgraycold Link ParentWas there any merit to the sexual assault allegations? I know he dropped out of YouTube for a time because multiple women claimed he’d assaulted them.Was there any merit to the sexual assault allegations?

- “Notices bulges OWO what’s this?”
- “Hey fascist! Catch!” Up arrow symbol, right arrow, three down arrow symbols
- “Oh bella ciao bella ciao bella ciao ciao ciao”
- “If you read this, you are gay lmao”
The new suspect is alive and in custody so we may eventually get some explanation.

When his supporters realize that they actually don't like guns being used for political violence the rational response is to restrict gun use and stop promoting violence.
Every person that believes in the second amendment will have their own opinion of what a tyrannical government is. Any segment of the population can be targeted by those in power and be driven to the point of violence. The interpretation of the second amendment that states it's a safeguard against misuse of power doesn't belong solely to conservative people who might want to fight a totalitarian communist dictator. When that idea is promoted you will inspire people outside of your group.
But this really feels too on-the-nose - it's the exact thing MAGA desperately wants to see. Someone worried about trans people would hopefully be smart enough not to tie an assassination back to trans people. But generally people that perform assassinations aren't mentally well, so we can't assume the perpetrator would act rationally in this way.

I said I’m a tall guy and don’t think as many people will try to fuck with me (even though I’m a pacifist). But had to admit I could always just get shot. He just said “Yeah, lol”.

If we had our way Charlie Kirk would likely be alive. We're not exactly jumping up and down with glee. I don't really give a shit about this guy and him dying doesn't kill the terrible ideas he spread.

I expect this was the hardest season to edit. I'm interested in hearing in the podcast if they pulled in more editors.

It's so much cheaper to just take the panel that Samsung is offering at a discount because they plan to make 300,000,000 of them than to ask for a custom smaller part with the same functionality. Repeat for all other parts in the phone.

I hope this doesn’t end up as another instance of “good idea, bad execution”.
