Dude, that’s my bong.

Fucking Methford - figures. Literally the toilet of Oregon. I’m not surprised whatsoever that the crackdown started there.

The homeless problem in Jackson county was out of control long before drug legalization. When I was doing homeless outreach there in 2020, there were over 7k people on the street who had lost their homes to the wildfires of the previous years - still unhoused, and the fires had been over for more than a year. There were almost no support services due to the rural nature of the county and a lack of public funding. My hat goes off to the folks who volunteer to support the homeless there - they do a huge amount and almost all of it is privately funded through volunteer outreach.

The drugs weren’t the problem - the lack of housing, jobs and the constant police harassment were. What drug legalization meant was that they no longer had an excuse to just pick up the homeless and warehouse them in jail to keep them out of the public eye - and as a result, the public got to see up close and personal what it’s like to live on the street.

Drug criminalization is almost never about the drugs or the harm they do. It’s about having an excuse to put people you don’t want to see in public in jail.

As an aside, it’s a pretty well known fact that the Methford police are corrupt as fuck, love to bully the locals, and the ACLU started a lawsuit in August against them for illegal spying. If Oregon ever becomes a police state, it will start in Methford.

Ashland cops, on the other hand (15 miles south on the freeway), are actually a great bunch and were actively working to support their homeless citizens while I was up there.

I’m only on reddit to bring people here. Because we do have cookies.

The Empire was fought to a standstill, and Lady Crawford Organa took her seat on the high judicial council.

Or maybe it’s just the judicial council. I dunno. I’m high.

But well done Wisconsin - the force was fucking with you today!

Further examination of the leak showed that at 3% of those accounts were run by real people. 50% of those accounts had mail.ru email addresses.

/s but I’m guessing my numbers aren’t far off.

Pritzker is rapidly becoming my top choice for President in 2028, if we’re still allowed elections by then. The man has the character and intelligence needed to dig the country out of Trump’s mess.

As I suspected, language has evolved to the point where Ohio is considered a synonym for toilet.

Fear not the mass of noodles, nor thine anxiety over the mountains of starch thy must consume, my son.

Tomorrow it will all be pasta tense.

Musk right now…

Elon right now…

Guns. The answer is guns, Lrrr.

That being said, if you don’t want jury duty for a criminal case, mentioning jury nullification is a sure way to get the prosecution to kick you out of the jury pool. It’s one of the reasons why I haven’t had to sit on a jury for over 30 years.
