If that's some sort of roughage leaf, I think that's covered.

I'd call that comic pretty good satire, does a good job skewering many different sides of the argument.

Truth be told, a 30-hour day would enable us to come somewhat closer to the ridiculous level of production our respective employers expect from us in the usual 24-hour day, as well as allowing some idiot to read 15 books a day.

I couldn't find a dedicated flint leaded water thread so here will do.
Woman in Leading Lawsuit Over Flint, Mich., Water Crisis Found Shot to Death in Home - The Root

Because that's totally not suspicious at all! Especially with prosecutors bringing charges against people and basically the whole political body being responsible for poisoning children. Not suspicious at all!

In Flint? No, it's really not suspicious. We've been top three most dangerous city in the country for pretty much the last decade. And the first class action suit got thrown out this week, so that doesn't seem to be the best avenue for redress.

ETA: They've already arrested someone. It doesn't say in the article, but I heard he is the ex of one the women, and the father of her child. It's that age-old story.

Some of you people live close enough to some of these shows that you could go.

I am making a list of those people, and if those people don't go, I am going to write on their entries, "could have gone to a Pere Ubu show but chose not to."
