23 From a Washington Post article yesterday:

“Though trans people make up just 1 percent of the population in Washington state, the nonprofits that help them say their budgets are drained and their staffs are stretched so thin that last month the Seattle LGBTQ Commission asked Mayor Katie Wilson (D) to declare a civil state of emergency. Such a declaration would free up general fund dollars to bolster the nonprofits’ finances as they help transplants find housing and jobs.

If the city chooses not to declare a state of emergency, commission leaders said, they worry what will happen not only to Seattle’s LGBTQ+ organizations but also to ones that help all city residents. Many of the newcomers need shelter, food aid, and subsidized health care. And the city’s homeless population has already reached a record high this year."

Maybe ask the trannies to stop moving to Seattle?

Yes, that was there main one and what started the company. But they had a large number of other designs later. Boomerangs, triangle boomerangs, other types of disks, and that circular thing I think.

42 Though cute and furry and apparently harmless, a large percentage of the koalas in Australia are infected by a particularly contagious strain of Chlamydia.

Koalas can transmit Chlamydia to any humans that come into contact with their urine, and it's not unheard of that koalas will urinate directly onto people.

I won't say who it is, because I like the guy, but he did the Gloryhole Face variant on a thumbnail. And I don't know if the other commenters used that specific term, but I wouldn't be surprised.

MingeWax dries in just 1 hour to an incredibly smooth, durable finish. It protects and adds beauty to your hardwood floors. Maximum durability in one coat with no intercoat sanding needed. Clear finish provides long-lasting protection and warm beauty to both finished and unfinished hardwood projects.

I asked the internet why no pics of Booth’s body, and got a word salad non-sensical answer. Totally.

“The War Department intentionally kept the single autopsy photograph of John Wilkes Booth a secret to prevent his burial site from from becoming a shrine and to stop conspiracy theories”

Bwah? What does a picture have to do with his burial site? And the lack of photographic evidence only fuels conspiracy theories - Booth got away, etc

So I'm at SciTech a big aerospace nerd gathering held by AIAA every year. Every major aerospace company university and research institute attends it. Big big deal. Thousands of nerds in a high nerd density. And every morning there's a keynote speaker.

One morning was this gal in charge of managing and "transforming" the NA&SM. She laid it all out. She was taking all the outdated useless exhibits of airplanes, the men who built, designed and flew them and mothball all that worthless crap. She was replacing it with the important stuff like disabled lesbian midget poetry and the like. She was very open about this.

Booth was a celebrity - like if Tom Cruise shot the president one day. Everyone knew what he looked like.

Once the cavalry got after him and trapped him and shot him in the body he died quickly. There was never a question of getting him. A few years later he was dug up and delivered to his family who were loyal for burial in a family plot.

False allegations used by the political structure to put pressure on us.

They're going to take everything away from us. Things that any campaign needs to function.

They'd rather see Susan Collins win than see me winnin Maine.

Next what comes needs to come from the people. (The people that showed up on June 9th, in the open and by the people of this state.)

We need to be assured it'll be open and democratic.

Again, they're only dropping out because they've lost the structure - funding, support, etc. - to continue.

He repeats again he'll put in his paperwork to withdraw but...

What they wanted: Healthcare, end the genocide, a fair system, the end of corruption, the end of money in politics... Reflections of the will and values of the people of the state.

There are several theories, WAGs really about them. Several of these are they really aren't that large of a diameter, they just look that way.

A spectacular ring system putting Saturn to shame could do it. Another possibility is they're really normal sized, with normal density, but the stellar wind couple with the atmospheric dynamics are just puffing up some of the gases, making a very thin, tenuous upper atmosphere. All of the mass would be in a much smaller volume, it's just a small bit of it gets really puffed up.

It works because Trump is not trying to do regime change on the cheap nor planning a large footprint on the ground that requires both logistics and an army we don't have. Without oil money, Iran's government has to fall back on its hold on the people and eventually even zealots get tired and weary when society turns against them. Many of them have families too.

Modern siege tactics is what Trump is doing.
