I taught at a college in Kentucky for ten years.
At the end of that time period, our institution was (and many others across the state were) faced with layoffs because of both some fiscal concerns within the larger controlling body of those colleges, and because Governor Bevin decided to strip appropriations for higher… Read more
Well guys I am actually locked up in a federal prison in Yahoo city and this is def happening to these guys. I’m not eligabkw for release quite yet so it’s not affecting me. But it sure would suck to serve your whole time thinking your getting out at this date and then right at the end they change it without any… Read more
Isn’t he also kind of a nut, who says the ghosts of the people he works on go around breaking his dishwasher and other wacky shit?
I used to work in San Leandro and one of their bike cops was always flirting. Dude almost handed me his new taser, bragging on it.
My grandma died in a nursing home, in July 4th. Don’t ban them. DESTROY THEM! RIP THEM FROM THE EARTH AND CAST THEM ALL TO GOD’S FORSAKEN HELL! AND THE BASTARDS THAT OPERATE THEM, TOO!
Nursing homes are awful, abusive places. But maybe, instead of the horrific ableism of proposing that everyone who can’t live alone without supports die, we could expand the Personal Care Attendant programs that allow people with disabilities to live independently? Just a fucking thought.
Yes you may like the concept of assisted suicide/euthanasia but the administration of the non-transparent laws in OR, WA, CA & CO brightly provide immunity for predators (corporations, strangers, caregivers, heirs, guardians...) to complete the killing all before the family knows. A simple reading of the laws confirms… Read more
Ugh. One of my parents got to the point where they needed to be in one of these full time and couldn’t be left alone. They were in a care center for about 5 months and even with very good insurance (which no one has nowadays), it was very expensive. Plus, the people there, while most are ok, really don’t do that much.… Read more
My dad has always said this to me, but I never know how to respond. He hasn’t made any plans that would allow this to happen legally (he doesn’t live in a legal euthanasia state). So, I just stare numbly. Maybe next time I just need to ask him how/when/where he wants this to happen, ask if he has it in writing, and… Read more
This reminds me of the time my aunt got extremely upset at that guy who turned his dead cat into a drone copter.
You might be allergic to the tannins. I can drink an entire bottle of vodka and be fine the next day but one small glass of wine and I’m a flipping zombie.
Darrell! You sound like a dick, but I’m so glad you asked. I prefer to assume the people who read this site are smart. I think it’s absolutely clear some of these reports are unverified, though I did verify with families where I could. Prisoner complaints started in July, but no-one got hands on a definitive list of… Read more
So anyone who ever commits any crime should stay in jail for the rest of their lives? That seems like the implication of your comment. If not, please clarify.
Yet another way the current administration figured out how to be shit and make things worse. Read more
If you can’t do the time, don’t do the crime.
No article on private prisons is complete without a mention of lock up quotas. Or an agreement to for the state to make sure the prison is so full, or pay the prison money for not stocking it with slaves as agreed upon.

They’re also cheaper so it’s 100% about inflating prison population numbers. It’s weird though since it’s the feds not states which are the ones who have most private prisons. Maybe it’s in anticipation of a push to contract out private prisons (raise capacity and then show a need for new prisons and use that as the… Read more
worst church ever. i went for a year. it has all the same problems old school churches have and more. plus the pastors use church money to buy their inner circle tiffany gifts.
“Doesn’t surprise me that certain individuals from the tribe owned slaves to fit into white culture. There’s also a lot of Cherokee that remained more traditional, which is still current with the different communities in NC. But i refuse to call it a monument to the culture of Cherokee.”
