You’ve been waiting for this moment…

Gotta rtfa to get the full context.

Even so, at least three county jails in Florida that sit within mandatory evacuation areas have decided that detainees will ride out the storm. These jails — Pinellas, Manatee, and St. Johns counties — have a combined incarcerated population of more than 4,000 people. Recent analysis from The Appeal found that more than 21,000 people are locked up at facilities in areas with evacuation orders ahead of Milton. An earlier investigation by The Intercept found that across Florida, 52 jails, prisons and detention centers face major to extreme flood risks over the next 30 years as such climate-driven storms intensify, the most among any state.

Florida has among the largest populations of incarcerated people in the country, more than 84,000, according to federal data — exceeding the jailed populations of entire countries, such as France, Germany, Malaysia, or Venezuela.

“With that number of inmates it’s not really possible, feasible to evacuate people out of there, and it’s unnecessary because we can go up,” said Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri on Wednesday during a press conference. He said the Pinellas County Jail, which has a population of about 3,100 people, is prepared to move people from the first floor cells to the second floor in the event of flooding.

“We have plenty of staff there, everything’s safe, it’s under control and I’m not concerned about it,” he said, adding that around 800 deputies and jail staff would be on hand. The jail sits within an area deemed Zone A, the most severe tier among evacuation areas, and is located next to a waterway that spills into Tampa Bay.

There are still systemic problems here, but it’s not like they just locked everyone on the ground floor and peaced-out, as the headline made me think.

Edit: I just want to add that the rest of the article goes even deeper in, in my opinion, undoing my outrage induced from the headline. It talks about facilities being weather-ready and built on higher ground, it mentions procedures for ones that aren’t, it consults a former FEMA official…

It blows my mind that centuries-old concepts “let’s not jump to hasty conclusions” and “people should be free to protest the government but not break the law” just got called “flaming progressive”.

edit: Sorry, now I see what you’re saying, that those were some points that pull people from across the aisle.

warships

Ooh, what we got?

The naval group, consisting of a training ship, patrol frigate and refueling tanker,

Oh, *cough* ha, ok.

The arrival of the vessels comes mere weeks after another squadron of Russian warships, including a powerful nuclear-powered submarine, visited Havana as part of planned military exercises last month.

Oh, well, ok, I guess.

Going off on a tangent, but are vacancies keeping rent high or are they a result of overpriced rent not responding to market pressure? It seems like vacancies should mean low demand at the current price, which, in my little econ 101 view of the world, should push the price down.

One down, one to go. Who Will it be?

Could have little tiny proto shrew cheese curds.

Was it the cops saying that, or mostly just the Commander In Thief? It certainly wasn’t all cops.

I interpreted it as teasing someone for duplicity when they are trying to hurt people (suggesting their outward behavior comes from inward self-loathing), and not talking about his body being weird but his behavior (as a dick).

I feel so lucky to have been here for this discussion today.

If not, then the article misrepresented. The title is completely clear on claiming it hasn’t happened in a billion years.

For the first time in one billion years, two lifeforms truly merged into one organism

“it’s a car, not a church.”

Does the Brazilian government have tight enough control over agents not to abuse this? I’m imagining how much easier it would be to identify ransom targets coming from abroad if a rogue agent was affiliated with a criminal organization.

But is it a dead name? Last I looked, the URL was still “twitter.com”.

By 2023, the picture was completely different: only 11 percent described themselves as very or somewhat conservative, 21 percent as middle of the road, and 67 percent of listeners said they were very or somewhat liberal.

The facts, coming from all around, have continually led more people to realize the GOP is full of shit, making people sympathize more with the “liberal” party, and that’s somehow NPR’s fault?

Pretty interesting getting to see these rare but predictable things coinciding and thinking about how it might have seemed like a series of omens to people in the past.

If it was 2 days in Nashville, I want to believe it was for BTBAM’s 2-day/2-part concert “Colors II Experience” on March 26 and 27 at Basement East.

Documents … say that Washburn “falsified sick leave” on Feb. 8 and 9…

Many people dislike their own names, but I think SomeGuy69 is an awesome name, too. Cheer up!
