I am so angry about the planned execution of Kenneth Smith by Nitrogen gas today. The man already survived a botched lethal injection. As NPR just informed me, Nitrogen gas is not an approved euthanasia method for mammals because it causes distress. The State of Alabama also can not ensure the safety of Smith's religious attendant, who will be in the chamber with him. Look how fucking pro life Alabama is. I can’t think about this too much because I literally start feeling so sick like I’m going to throw up. It’s so infuriating and so fucked up. And anything anyone has done to delay or cancel the execution has been for nothing. I just cannot. I have so little faith in humanity left.

Have you guys seen the UK reacting to a recent American study about adding a tiny pinch of salt to tea to make it taste better? I’m glad public officials can have a bit of fun sometimes. I drink a lot of tea and the thought of adding salt makes me shudder

This is so fantastic. Even Fox News is wondering if he will ever stop being a fucking idiot (paraphrased).

A feel good story for today. I came back to find this. I don’t want people fined for feeding the homeless. But there needs to be some way to get that population help or into the existing shelters or something. As a small business owner it is exhausting and expensive and dangerous to have members of this population doing drugs, shitting and vomiting all over, lighting fires, and assaulting employees.

For my Michigander "feel good" stories of 2024 (so kinda OT?) how about them Wolverines and Lions?? Hubby is beside himself. He went to the championship game because bucket list. I am a UMich alum and MH is a die hard fan, and he is a looooong suffering Lions fan, so it has been an entirely tolerable football season over here, for once 😅 We're big Bills fans in our house, so decidedly sad now. I'm all in on a Lions SB win now. They get my temporary fandom.

I'm all in on a Lions SB win now. They get my temporary fandom. My nephew’s FI is from a Buffalo family. I was really hoping for some good natured trash talking and side bets between the families. I was really hoping for a Lake Erie Super Bowl. I’m feeling pretty good about our chances against SF. But I hope the Ravens win because KC will just make us look stupid at the Super Bowl.
