Much has changed since then. She sponsored a comprehensive federal legalization bill in the Senate, and she’s called for ending prohibition altogether as recently as this March, at a roundtable event with pardon recipients where she also called on the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to quickly reschedule cannabis, as the Justice Department has since formally proposed.

If elected, Harris would become the first president who openly supports marijuana legalization. And the list of potential running mates that she’s reportedly considering also includes a majority who share that position, as well as some who have signed legalization into law in their state.

While Harris has a complicated history with cannabis policy, she has come out in full support of legalization in recent years, sharing that “the War on Drugs was an abject failure. It’s time to legalize marijuana and bring justice to people of color harmed by failed drug policies.”

Like how KFC is associated with American Christmas in Japan?

Anyone else delete Duolingo yesterday when the owl suddenly looked sick and haggard with snot coming out of his nose? It was odd the first time when they just made him haggard, this was gross and annoying. I need a new language app.

Journaling and mindfulness meditation help with this and are free (except the cost of a journal if you get a physical one).

Deer will MONCH on some bird nests full of eggs and babies. Also on adult birds if they are injured or caught on something.

Fucking deer. Get out of my roses.

Why all the downvotes? I guess “twilight zones” is a little click baity, but it’s just an article about the little understood geology of Earth’s lower mantle. It’s neat, I think.

There are a few in my town and it’s really hard not to stare as they go by, even after seeing them around a bit. I imagine a few accidents have happened by now because people can’t stop rubbernecking and going “Holy shit, it looks even stupider in real life!!” >> crash.

They’re melting!

This thing is way more expensive than it seems like it should be for what it is, but if you’ve got a yard full of burrs it’s worth the $270 to clear it up and reduce general misery at home.

John Scalzi’s got you covered:

I have not calculated the volume of an EZ Up, the pointy top makes it a bit trickier than I’m up for before coffee. And I can only find the diameter (33 megaparsecs) which would be 3.41430562e+23 EZ Ups across.

Yeast for healthy skin, to (possibly but probably not) help with fleas and it’s tasty and makes the collagen mush enticing. Collagen for her old lady joints. I started giving it to her when I noticed her losing flexibility in her knees. Can’t give one a treat and not the other, so they both get it. I don’t know if it’s helping, but they like it.

The fat one gets only wet (vet’s orders, she’s semi feral and she hunts rodents and may have a second family who feeds her) and the elderly underweight one gets all the wet food she’ll eat, then is offered dry food as a treat. She prefers dry, so she’ll have some even though she’s not hungry.

They both get a slurry of nutritional yeast and hydrolized collagen powder in water for dessert.

I’ve spent a lot of time working at farmers markets and so have spent a lot of time both under a 10x10 foot canopy (EZ Up) tent and looking at long rows of the same. So I imagine both square footage and distance in feet in terms of how many EZ Ups.

A 5000 sq ft house is 50 EZ Ups. A 700 sq ft apartment is 7 EZ Ups. A 100 ft yacht of 10 EZ Ups long.

Oh that. I’m fortunately sheltered enough (by choice and hard work) from the evil talking heads that this didn’t come to mind.

Hopefully the NGR will elbow that horrible woman out of first place for recognition of this name.

Is there a controversy about Nancy Grace Roman that I haven’t heard about? I’m very excited about this telescope and very excited that it’s named after her.

Well, this technique doesn’t harm the cane toads, except the few that are used as bait. It lets them live alongside the crocks without killing them, that’s kinda nice.

This is really neat.

This is a good ruling. Weird title. The first judge this case was brought before said that they couldn’t claim sexual assault, only medical malpractice because they were seeking medical care when it happened.

This ruling says sexual assault is sexual assault, even in the context of a doctor’s appointment. You wouldn’t think we need to clarify that, but here we are.

Medical malpractice suits are almost never successful, so being free to get out from under that umbrella is progress. Sad that this is still only a civil case, I would want a criminal case as well. He deserves prison and not just a fine.
