Rubber band imports should be band so that good American rubber bands survive. And let’s not even get into contraband rubber bands!

Patreon is banding alt right Nazis from its platform

It’s unfortunate that it’s newsworthy but it’s 2G18 after all

And Teresa May survived a vote of no confidence. Which, given the alternatives to May as PM, is probably the best available outcome.

Not having the Tories running things would be the best outcome. They're not just fumbling and incompetent, they're literally killing millions of people.

But that's still over 3 years away unless there's another surprise general election in the meantime.

Probably a lot of stuff Mattis thinks is good and necessary is actually neither, but still it's scary to have maybe the last person keeping Trump from his insane excesses leave.

He tried to push back against much of Trump's small-minded idiocy. He was opposed the reversal of transgender inclusivity in the military, he opposed sending US military to the southern border, abandoning the Iran nuclear agreement, etc. but it seems like being a voice of reason in this administration is about as useful as a screen door on a submarine.

Tra sparent partisanship that clearly violates precedent they don't care about. I don't really care what the military bans though because the military itself should be band.

That’s the fun part about pot being legal though, is that now it can be a clause in a lease. It’s not just “don’t do illegal shit, obviously”. I mean we already weren’t allowed to smoke cigarettes on the property.

EDIT: Worth noting that it just says “It is strictly forbidden to consume cannabis or its derivatives by any mode of consumption that causes smoke or odors.” And also we can’t grow it.

Well, probably, but I was thinking baking them in brownies and such probably emits odors and also that it might affect BO through sweat and such, similarly to garlic.

Probably you’ll be able to buy edibles that are pre-made later this year.

This is all hypothetical since I have not used pot in over a decade anyway. :nub3
