"The federal government's current approach is a half-in, half-out regime that simultaneously tolerates and forbids local use of marijuana,” the conservative Supreme Court justice wrote.
A heartbreaking story is currently unfolding that’s sure to have devastating ramifications for years to come. Just moments ago, without any warning, the worst person…
Remember that Arizona Audit that was going on and the Arizona GOP has been silent on since it isn't exactly showing what they hoped?
The county is now saying that they will have to fully replace all the ballot machines due to worry that Cyber Ninjas may have tampered with the machines.
Hope tax payers in Arizona are paying attention. Well worth millions of dollars, right?

Oh, and it's not Arizona taxpayers. It's Maricopa County taxpayers. When they lose this county by a landslide - again - they'll blame the new machines.
Lather, rinse, repeat until bankrupt.
Meanwhile, our governor will be retired and eating his Coldstone Creamery ice cream.
Sharing a story but hiding it behind a spoiler wall. Mom finds out that a photo of her 8 year old has been used to make horrible things.
That's all I'm going to say. The story is VERY disturbing. Only reason I'm posting it is because the horrible thing is only illegal in 3 states and at the bottom of the article is a link to a Change.Org petition to make them illegal in ALL states. I didn't post the direct link to the change.org site because I didn't know how the board would parse the link and it's got a picture I didn't feel comfortable with.
After her daughter’s likeness was used for a sex doll that went up for sale on the internet, a mother paired up with a Boca Raton-based organization to fight for a federal mandate.

Ugh. Never mind. Here I thought the PERVERTS were bad, but the mom is certainly also trash scum. Jesus Christ.
Actually, the doll had been out for years before the daughter's picture had ever been taken making it extremely likely that the mother dressed her daughter up like the doll, copied the same poses, etc., and levied her complaint for internet fame.
Think critically for a sec. WHY would some Chinese love doll company be looking for pictures of real children and then copying THOSE pictures absolutely perfectly. Same pose, clothes, even the same toy in the picture? - Nope. Doesn't check out. Nobody wants the legal problems that would come from that. Any boss would immediately fire any worker that even tried that.
You all think (seriously) that love doll companies are trolling the internet and shit like Facebook to find out what a kid looks like? They'd just use professional models. Which brings me to my final point, the doll is Chinese. The kid is not.
The parent copied the company product, not the other way around.
The judge presiding over Britney Spears' case has denied a motion to remove her father Jamie as her co-conservator, saying he will remain "at least for now."

I just want to point out that this wasn't the trial. This was just a special hearing to allow Britney to speak on record, and it was very very unlikely that anything would change from this prior to going to actual investigation/trial
The decision, a test of what remains of the Voting Rights Act, suggests that challenges to many new measures making it harder to vote may not be successful.

Restrictions on voting that disenfranchise POC and the poor? Sure, say the conservative Supreme Court.
So I looked it up, and all the women mentioned have “irregularly high levels of natural testosterone.” Doctors certified that they were not cheating, just naturally producing more testosterone than what the Olympics consider “normal.” They had the option of taking medication to artificially lower their testosterone levels, but refused.
That’s a fucking disgusting rule, and it’s appalling that the Olympics classify people that way. And it’s horrid that they wanted them to medicate themselves and alter their own biology for an arbitrary rule.

Ian Thorpe won 5 Olympic gold medals in swimming. Would he have done so if he was not born with irregularly large feet? And if not why was he allowed to compete with his natural gifts while these women are not?
All top Olympic athletes are "irregular" in one fashion or another, whether it's testosterone levels, large feet, lung capacity, muscle power or something else.

I constantly find it funny that Libertarians love that story (to the point of giving him a posthumous literary prize for it), but don't seem to realize Vonnegut's own political views were deeply socialist and specifically anti-capitalist.
Pesticide manufacturers that have long dodged regulation by the EPA now face billions in damages for causing cancer, brain damage, and Parkinson’s disease.
