Straight out of CopLand 😶

“It was time to fight back,” he said.
Energy Transfer’s lawyer Mr Cox told the court that Greenpeace had exploited the Dakota Access Pipeline to “promote its own selfish agenda”.
Are you fucking kidding me with this bullshit? And a jury actually agreed with this insane garbage?
Today I just straight up asked my boss if we could skip our monthly 1 on 1 because I was already just so done. Thankfully he’s a total mensch, gave me a thumbs up, reminded me of a report I have due Friday, and we went about our day. Sometimes, sometimes things work out.

After a decade there, in 2014 she became the administrator of a program addressing prison rape. Five years later, she applied for a promotion.
Her supervisors turned her down, saying she lacked vision and leadership skills, eventually giving the position to a gay woman who had been at the department for a shorter time and, unlike Ames, lacked a college degree.
Not long after denying her the new position, her supervisors removed her from her existing job, telling her that they had concerns about her leadership and offering her a demotion that came with a substantial pay cut. She was replaced by a gay man with less seniority.
Sounds like she was a do-nothing karen that nobody liked, which makes the actions of her employer entirely reasonable. Everybody who has ever worked has had the displeasure of meeting one of these people that fails upward, and has an ego the size of Rhode Island.
Remember kids, all you have to do is not be a dick.
Box is looking real comfortable, AND I don’t have to get back up once I find a good position??

Because way back then, without a civilized society, you needed a bit of fire and brimstone to help keep would-be evil-doers at bay.
The only stuff I ever enjoyed, and still carry to this day, were the New Testament teachings of Christ. Love thy neighbor, feed the hungry, shelter the poor, care for the sick, welcome the immigrant.
Oddly enough, along with the current pope, those seem to be the only lessons that most modern day “christians” have done away with. They’ll use electron microscopy to read between the lines to demonize gay people, but when their Lord and Savior explicitly says “it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven,” all of a sudden they’re stricken blind deaf and dumb.
I follow the teachings of the brown socialist who spent his time caring for and conversing with the lowest on the social ladder. The man who overturned the money lenders carts in the street. I dunno who the fuck everyone else is following, but it ain’t him.

I have a disabled neighbor that I help out around the house every now and then, she’s been a smoker for decades. Long enough that she had to get tracheotomy so she breathes through a hole in her neck. Hasn’t stopped her from smoking like a pack a day. Because of her disability and advancing age, a very kind neighbor built her a house and gave it to her for free. Her smoking has ruined that cute little two bedroom, to the point that everything in there is stained nicotine yellow, and reeks. That house will just have to be torn down when she leaves, because they’d have to gut the entire thing just to get rid of the smell. It’s disgusting, and the fact that she got that house for nothing makes me all the more pissed about it.

Honestly, if it was any other kind of car, I would have been impressed at their ingenuity and railed against the wildlife expert who outed them. But people who waste money on expensive luxury cars don’t get sympathy from me. A fuckin Rolls Royce? You thought you could get an insurance company to write off a fuckin rolls royce? If you already have the money to obtain that kind of car, you get no sympathy from me.

jpreston2005@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Beleaguered Chicago police accountability chief says she’d like peace with cops, but truth is more important9·6 months agoIn August, the Fraternal Order of Police lodge that represents Chicago cops filed a lawsuit accusing Kersten and her top aides of leading dubious investigations and imposing unfairly harsh discipline on officers.
Later that month, Kersten fired two high-ranking COPA officials: Deputy Chief Administrator Matthew Haynam, a former CPD staff attorney, and Garrett Schaaf, one of several supervising investigators at COPA, who worked for years as a deputy sheriff in Osceola County, Florida.
Last month, Haynam filed a lawsuit claiming his firing was retaliation for raising alarms about COPA bias. A letter reportedly signed by 16 former or current COPA staffers said Kersten had “manipulated investigations to align with her own policy agenda” and retaliated against staffers who have complained about “bias and mismanagement.”
This sounds like an Onion article. Cops complaining to their oversight committee that their investigations are biased and unfair.
Like, Ok, Coppers 🤡
“Transparency isn’t always comfortable,” Kersten added.
I like this Andrea Kersten.

Officers on Tuesday night stopped a man and a woman driving a stolen car in Southeast Portland, and they found much more than a stolen car
They broke the most important rule. When breaking the law, only break one at a time. If you’re gonna carry around your fun joke drug bag, don’t do it while driving a stolen car.

Oh no! Not your feelings!
“This is an opera about the breaking forth of the repressed female libido, so we decided to have a lot of fun," the 38-year-old dancer told The Guardian earlier this year.
Fucking RAPE. It’s called RAPE. Why is it whenever a fucking woman rapes a child they dance around it with terms like molestation? It’s fucking called RAPE. She RAPED them. Bury her under the fucking prison.
