IIRC, when she was running for DA, the incumbent, Terence Haliihan was in the process of bringing a lawsuit against the SF archdiocese. Then he lost in the runoff election to her. And she refused to take meetings with abuse surviviors afterwards. Yet she is this great champion of the downloaded. /sarcasm
It is part if what I find so enraging anout her outright lying. Fuck her and self serving shape shifting bullshit.
I think in part he was "allowed" to buy Twitter because the money he was offering was so insane, it put the board in the target of violating their fiduciary duty to the stockholders which would have been its own scandal - remember, the Twitter files had not come out yet and the collusion of the government was not known. My guess is they were arrogant enough to believe they could control him. My, what an enjoyable FAFO scenario.
At the beginning of September, I quit my job because my paycheck was so bad, it didn't cover ONE bill let alone bills. (Commission job - I tried. Oh I tried.) I never walked off a job before without having something lined up but it got that bad that my time was better spent looking for something else. Anything else. Naturally, I was stressing big time, wondering what I was going to do. The day after I made the decision to leave, I was in my front yard and I looked down next to my porch and there was a $20 bill on the ground. That was my sign that I was going to be okay. I started a new job 2 days ago.
Praying for everyone on the cusp - because it sucks.
Why would you want the DNA of a six-month old? Bioweapon perhaps?
I hate to say it, but it still amazes me how blatantly above everything- not just the law - these people think they are. They can't go away soon enough. Bleah.
My husband was in Katrina with the NG fir a month. He said it sucked. Slept in a junior high locker room and later on in a church. I remember him calling me when he first got there and I could tell he was in shock. Said it looked like a bomb went off. The first wave had to shoot dogs because some had reverted to these wild pack animals. One night they watched a pack chase a donkey. Because it was so upsetting, when he was out on patrol, they started carrying big bags of kibble with them and would take a knife, tear the bag open and let them eat.
I has a problem with the p-trap in my bathroom sink several years back. I remember the guy at the hardware store telling me it was the treated water. I kind of dismissed it at rhe time, but now? I was chalking it up to cheap crap made overseas (which is still plausible), but if it eats holes in the p-trap, what the hell is it doing in us?
First, prayers for you and Lurker Mom. 💞
I was talking to someone last week about the alternative treatment space. Apparently, there is a school of thought that snake venom can help with pancreatic cancer.
Disclaimer: I have not dug into this at all. But your post reminded me of the conversation. The person I was talking to had gone to a conference hosted by Dr. Ardis and admitted there is a bit of woo-woo to it, but woo-woo has a better track record these days. Never hurts to look.
MWD said in the substack that addresses this very thing is that it is less than $5.
Note: good background on tue current lobbying to get Medicare to cover it and the reasons why it currently is not.

Ditto on not watching. I thought about it, but I have had a lot going on the last couple of days that already has me upset and I just couldn't afford to expend the energy. I knew I could count on my pedes though. Thanks for doing the heavy lifting!
I love the clip 'What....is goin' on?"
The victims don't speak out. She just dismisses them.
The Bologna family was big news at the time it happened and a lot of criticism was leveled at her at the time. Articles referencing criticism of her have been pretty well scrubbed (MS-13 involved, sanctuary city, death penalty was taken off the table) but I found this which gives a pretty good overview:
Oh, but how very interesting- I did not know this but about a year ago, the wife who was very critical of Harris - was killed in a car accident with her daughter.
The California Highway Patrol said the driver of a 2020 Honda was traveling in the eastbound direction at a high rate of speed when he veered into the westbound lane "for an unknown reason."
Hmm...how convenient for Kamala.
I salute you frens who have been there since the beginning. It didn't find you all until CV (the premiere of Out of Shadows on Good Friday 2020 was my jumping off point - I don't think that was an accident either.) Hard to believe that alone was over 4 1/2 years ago. I think we are at the summit of the mountain. It has been a privilege to join you all on this strange journey.
