The death penalty is a moral abomination. State-sanctioned barbarism pushed by incompetent morons and sanctioned by the Supreme Court. Absolute ghoul shit. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
The lone woman on Tennessee's death row was still alive after she was administered two lethal injections, her lawyer said in a motion seeking to halt her execution Wednesday night, a stunning development after the Supreme Court had stepped in to allow the state to put her to death.
At 8:26 p.m. local time, witnesses said
"executioners had injected both syringes of lethal injection chemicals and Pike is still alive and snoring," her lawyers said in a federal court filing.
They said Pike "has not lost consciousness and still has a heartbeat," and that curtains to the death chamber "have gone down twice."

The guy who proclaimed the Iowa Hawkeyes are the Atlanta Hawks also said a month ago that anyone who thinks Michigan fans say "beat Ohio" doesn't know ball. The absolute goat in the crowded "Republicans don't know ball" marketplace. Yes he voted for his govt to control college sports, why do you ask
The Hawks/Hawkeyes guy accusing libs a month ago of not knowing ball

“Beat Ohio?”

Tell me you don’t know ball with saying you don’t know ball.

Eric Schmitt is confused by news of a Liberty victory last night. The college football team doesn't play until the weekend.

The Benny Johnson tweet is actual malice defamation.

I think this is borderline defamation. Schmitt is protected by being in a Senate committee, but Hannity is not. It is reckless disregard for the truth that was established in the committee room.

Aaron is not underrating this. It's cinema. The sly smirk when Schmitt thinks he's gotten Smith to perjure himself. The hasty vanishing of the sign. Klobuchar getting Kennedy to hold it up. Schmitt getting LOUD and ANGRY when Klobuchar points out he mixed up the Hawks and Hawkeyes.

Honestly, the best part of this clip is near the end when Amy Klobuchar does "Oh you're a sports fan, name three teams" to Eric Schmitt.

I know people are going to say October is all that matters and that this sounds like pre-cope, but being hot for six months as a low-payroll club is so much harder than getting hot for one month. Shit, there's going to be a .500 team in the playoffs who will probably win the AL Pennant.

I'm thinking about Latour's account of scientific assemblages, which are held together by a lab's ability to enroll nonhumans like microbes and atoms into association with others. If OpenAI can't get the nonhumans it created to act predictably, it doesn't have much to offer anyone.
