This is a wild story about a rafter named Justin who saved a coyote pup from drowning in the South Saskatchewan River and then spent the next 10 days exploring with YipYip until he finally had cell service and could connect with a rehab org. 🚣🏻♂️🐺
Remember, it's actually very good when kids are driven to your neighborhood to trick or treat because it means you live in a safe area where people can afford to decorate their homes and pass out candy, so you have a moral obligation to be welcoming and excited for them.
Attention whoring grifters are only chasing money and don't give a fuck about your values or whatever other bullshit you projected onto them. They quickly figured out which demographic was most likely to buy/invest into an identity politics brand then came up with a product.
A LEO (yes, 1) entering a school to find the shooter(s) & engaging them in nonstop gunfire until
1) they're dead
2) wounded severely enough to be apprehended
3) kill themself
4) you run out of ammo
5) you're killed
has been the tactical recommendation since COLUMBINE.

"The teacher came to her door Wednesday evening, eyes puffy from hours of crying and almost no sleep."
"What do you want me to say?" she asked a reporter. "That I can’t eat? That all I hear are their voices screaming? And I can’t help them?"
“The image shows how José Víctor Salazar Balza (28) on fire amid violent clashes with riot police during a protest against President Nicolás Maduro, in Caracas, Venezuela. He survived the incident with first- and second-degree burns.”

I hope this is a slippery slope straight into OTC birth control pills and everything else that significantly improves people's healthcare and quality of life.
Breaking: President Biden just announced that the FDA has cleared the way for hearing aids to be sold over the counter without a prescription to adults.
As soon as mid-October, Americans should be able to buy hearing aids online and in retail stores.
Sources said there has been talk of maybe leaving it to Jared Kushner or Ivanka Trump. WH officials don't believe it will come from someone like Mark Meadows, who in recent days has fed Trump's claim that the election is being stolen from him.
My dude at the passport office with a wife + 2 toddlers (getting their passports for the first time) and a 10am flight is living in a realm of chaos that I can't even fathom. At 7:40, having not even received his appt # yet, he was confident they'd be fine!
Mr. Stanley says it’s important during these times of quarantine to have your daytime jamjams and your nighttime jamjams and never mix the two. We live a society, people.
Good afternoon to everyone except Doug who counter surfed for my quesadilla, but left half behind at the crime scene. Doug is shocked and insists he's innocent.
lol stop it
"The officers believe Bannick, who was wearing gloves when handling the narcotics, may have been exposed due to the wind blowing the drugs into her system."
This is what security folks have been warning about for years with home appliances while people snark "The government already knows everything about me" or "I have nothing to hide." Enjoy being locked in your home while some automated process cranks the AC to 80F.
There are a lot of americans, elected officials at the front, who are going to burn in hell for the way they've treated public educators recently while these folks continue showing up and putting their bodies between bullets and students when no one else will.
"the Border Patrol agent who is credited with stopping Ramos was eating lunch in the town of Leakey when he heard the call go out over his radio...the agent was not in uniform, he didn’t hesitate to jump into his vehicle and drive 40mi to Robb elementary"
Never stop by anywhere after work unless you wish to be burdened with the rescue of a kitten meowing nonstop from the undercarriage of a truck when the heat index is 107°.
Look at this dumbass.
Amber Guyger was professionally trained on firearms + policing yet couldn’t figure out that she was at the wrong door of the wrong floor of the building where she lived. She was also distracted. Now consider people with less training and add more distractions.
Foster Doug just finished his first training session. His trainer is wonderful and she said he's a mess and huge ball of anxiety, but he's also sweet and good looking.
Doug is back at the county shelter. If anyone knows a rescue group in Houston that would be willing to tag him, I can foster him immediately. He is neutered and HW+, doing slow kill method.
JETBLUE TO THE RESCUE - When the couple's French bulldog started suffering from a lack of oxygen during a JetBlue flight, they said crew members rushed into action and brought ice, water and a small oxygen mask for the pup.
"Ben Gvir, is 45 years old & has 8 Israeli criminal convictions — including supporting a terrorist organization & incitement to racism. Once he was rejected by the IDF for his extremist views. Now, Israel's police must answer to him as Netanyahu's minister of national security."
I completely get the public perception because we can't afford for nuclear power to have accidents, but go talk to communities like Texas City where residents recall where they were for each major refinery explosion requiring an evacuation or shelter-in-place.
The members of Trinity Moravian Church in North Carolina purchased nearly $3.3 million of local residents’ medical debt for just $15,048.
Then, they held a debt jubilee ceremony and burned up the debt, canceling it all.
"Many smart thermostats can be enrolled in a program called Smart Savers Texas. The agreement states that in exchange for an entry into sweepstakes, electric customers allow them to control their thermostats during periods of high energy demand."
40 miles away with whatever equipment he had in his vehicle and he still managed to be the first into the building to end the slaughter.
There is nothing to defend.
Not everyone has one, but everyone deserves a parent who practices unconditional love. Reaching out when the relationship is strained to remind a child that though they can't fix the problems they will support you through them.
These are the same folks who get off to obsessively reminding everyone "Thank God today's generation isn't asked to storm the beaches of Normandy," without a hint of irony.
Harris County Animal Shelter is currently housing 400 dogs in a shelter designed for 250 dogs.
People have to foster and adopt or dogs will be euthanized. It's that simple.
HCAS is required by law to accept every dog brought to their shelter.
Uvalde PD and DPS owe the teachers at this school a public apology.
Again, multiple people in both agencies must be fired including the DPS Director. That falls squarely on Governor Abbott.
The Uvalde elementary school back door wasn’t propped open.
“A law enforcement source familiar with the investigation said surveillance video and audio verifies the teacher removed the rock holding the door open and closed it.
‘She slammed it shut.’”
This isn't a recent change. There are no goddamn excuses.
"Their goal is to stop him at all costs. They will walk past a dying child if they have to, just to prevent the shooter from killing more."

We're all just trying not to offend the imagined person in the imagined scenario that the angry replier has invented to counter our position.
BREAKING: We have obtained a video recording captured from inside Robb Elementary, along with body camera footage from a responding officer, that shows how dozens of officers responded to the active shooter.
Someone had to listen to the raw audio of this video and painstakingly remove all of the children's screams. Replaying over and over to make sure absolutely none remained. There are a lot of nameless people doing agonizing work to make this information public.
"so it was that three years after he was a 17-year-old asking for protection in the United States, two years after he was first granted asylum, and four weeks after he returned to Central America, Kevin Euceda died and was in danger no more"
Last winter, I wrote about an asylum-seeker named Kevin and how ICE used confidential therapy notes to keep him detained.
In July, his detention center was overrun by Covid, and he gave up his case. He didn't survive even a month back in Central America.
From 2009:
"...it calls for a 4 person team to advance in a diamond-shaped wedge. (If there isn’t time to gather four officers, a single officer should charge in alone.) They’re trained to move toward the sound of gunfire and neutralize the shooter."

Mr. Stanley pooped in the car last night (2nd car poop offense) and now he’s very concerned about how this impacts his chances of going to the dog park tonight.
We have fostered ~100 dogs in the past few years, which required George (dog aggressive) to rotate time in his home. George's needs and wellbeing were always first, but I do it because while George was special he wasn't unique. These dogs in need are all someone else's George. ❤️
She walks over to me and gives the biggest hug and I'm crying too now because it's such a corny Christmas miracle that we were able to time this perfectly. She doesn't speak English and I don't speak Spanish so we just hug and cry. Merry Christmas, y'all.
