He argued they include private exchanges with lawyers, details about policy-making decisions and information that would reveal how the state entices companies to invest here. Releasing them to the public, he wrote, “would have a chilling effect on the frank and open discussion necessary for the decision-making process.”

Holy shit, that’s definitely an argument in favor of making it public.

I don’t even work for the government, and my personal rule is “never put anything in writing that I wouldn’t be able to explain to a judge.”

Meep meep?

Touch screens in cars are evidence that the auto industry is actively trying to increase auto accidents.

Why would you ever not need air support? Better question, was Marshall the “This looks like a job for Aquaman” character?

So some airlines gave Trump enough money to get special treatment.

This has always been the far right endgame. They don’t want people to rely on government, so they make government unreliable. Citizens become more exploitable, and thus more profitable.

Someday, that old planter will become a fountain.

This is a good idea even if you don’t think they will do it. When they don’t do it, you can negotiate money back from the purchase to cover the cost of hiring a junk removal team. Then you can pocket the cash and do it yourself or you can pay someone else to do it.

I mean, Trump went to UPenn.

Are you thinking of Penn State, or was there a pedo at UPenn, too?

I use ostensibly a lot lately. Seems like an appropriate word for our times.

You know how you have to pay extra to have insurance to pay to take care of your mouth bones and your face balls? Well, what if we did that but with all the bones and stuff? Like, why are your foot bones included in the same insurance that pays for you to have knee bones or neck giblets? Why not do all the bones and stuff a la cart? And then maybe skin can be a premium add-on. We could charge separate for the red goo that’s all on the inside everywhere, and then it’s like a subscription model for having parts. We can sell it like “don’t pay for the parts you don’t have,” and people will think that they are saving money because each part costs less than the whole, but paying for everything costs more.

-some Health Insurance board member somewhere, probably.

… I should start an AI company.

Isn’t that like negative zero?

Sure are a contentious bunch.

Yeah, enjoy it now before the atheists destroy it with their atheism.

Not exactly. Like every good urban legend, there’s an element of truth to give it legs.

Tryptophan does metabolize into serotonin, some of which further metabolizes into melatonin, which can make you sleepy. But there isn’t more tryptophan in turkey than there is in other meats and some vegetables. It is an essential amino acid that you get from pretty much every meal that contains protein. Also, an overabundance of tryptophan doesn’t necessarily mean more seratonin or melatonin.

People get sleepy after eating a lot of turkey because their bellies are full of turkey (and probably stuffing and corn bread and mashed potatoes and gravy and pie and a few glasses of wine)

That’s actually a myth.

This will result in more unplanned pregnancies, more dangerous abortions, more suffering for women, more poverty, and fewer intelligent people in South Carolina as people with the means to leave do so.
