• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Tip for reading articles behind a paywall:

Go to https://12ft.io , paste in the article link, poof, paywall bypassed. Works like a charm.
I never knew about this. This is pretty awesome. Thanks for sharing

Their explanation on how they do it is very ingenious, but simple:

How does it work?​

The idea is pretty simple, news sites want Google to index their content so it shows up in search results. So they don't show a paywall to the Google crawler. We benefit from this because the Google crawler will cache a copy of the site every time it crawls it.

All we do is show you that cached, unpaywalled version of the page.
 
99% of the post in this thread are doom and gloom...unfortunately that's the time we live in. I think inserting alittle joy every now and then wont hurt.
At this point it is comical. They own all branches of the Tree of a Representative Republic.

Edit to add
I loved her hard
 
Preciate everyone’s feedback, it has been very helpful. My number one goal is not to shit up this place - as in we have worked so hard to make it pretty I don’t want to ruin it - and also not make anything inaccessible to anyone.

I’ve been refraining from responding to everyone as not to disrupt the flow of the thread, but I have been reading everyone’s feedback

A federal judge has denied the Southwest Airlines pilots union’s bid to temporarily block the company from imposing a COVID-19 vaccine mandate for employees, saying the mandate is within the airline’s authority.

The Southwest Airlines Pilots Association, which represents the company’s nearly 10,000 pilots, sought a temporary restraining order against the mandate, arguing that it needed to be negotiated with the union.

But US District Judge Barbara Lynn denied the request Tuesday evening, saying the mandate ā€œwill likewise improve the safety of air transportation, efficiency of Southwest’s operations, and further the [collective bargaining agreement’s] goal of safe and reasonable working conditions for pilots.ā€


Nothing says, "we care about safe and reasonable working conditions for pilots" like ignoring pilots telling you the vax is unsafe and unreasonable. How can this judge say this will make Southwest's operations more efficient? These people are corrupt as fuck!
 
I’m usually an optimist.

But today I made the mistake of watching about 30 minutes of Moderate Merrick testify to the Senate. While it was somewhat emotionally satisfying to watch Tom Cotton tell that slug of a human being to his face that he was glad he wasn’t on the Supreme Court- it was short-lived. Because well, it doesn’t change anything.

The crash from the sugar high of watching Moderate Merrick confronted for the empty suit he is (with his stupid effeminate ridiculous CRT son in law) just gave me the most sickening pessimistic feeling that there’s no fixing this. Because it’s more than just Mkderate Merrick. It’s that some significant portion of the American population thinks our civil liberties are superfluous. The President of the United States * mocked the idea that someone would think freedom
Is important. As if we are in fact frivolous if we insist upon having them. And that’s scary AF.

Our elections are not reliable, and they are not honest. Plus, even if we elect new people by accident, they aren’t the ones actually running anything. If they were - Tom Cotton wouldn’t be telling Moderate Merrick he should resign, he’d be firing his ass.

Our ā€œelectedā€ officials are all figureheads. I’m convinced they don’t make any actual decisions about anything. They just hire Moderate Merricks to make all the decisions, and the Moderate Merricks have no consequences for being wrong.

How do we get our civil liberties back? Because I cannot think of one civil liberty we had - that the Moderate Merricks of the world hasn’t taken by attrition.

Is there a way to get them back? There has to be away?
