Mezzanine posted:Wow, looks like Boston is in for a cold snap this winter. Remember when Massachusetts filled Ted Kennedy's US Senate seat with Scott Brown (R)? That's because Scott Brown ran against Martha Coakley. Coakley decided to run as Governor this time and lost just as horribly to Charlie Baker (R). She is really awful at state-wide campaigns and I do not like her. That being said, Brown ended up losing to Elizabeth Warren, so maybe Baker will lose to some super awesome liberal and she will completely redeem herself. Not sure if anyone in this thread really cared, but dammit, I hate seeing my home state aligned with all these other assholes.

The craziest part of the whole "no refugees" thing is that apparently per the Refugee Act of 1980, it's outright illegal for the governors to be banning immigrants in their states, and the office of the President totally has the power to remove them from their power because of it.

Trent posted:How the gently caress do you get the basic shape of the map wrong You have all the states (except Hawaii and Alaska, lol) in your graphics design program as separate layers. Then you drag a selection box around what you think is the whole country, but accidentally fail to include New England. You move the rest of the states and fail to notice your mistake before publishing.

Oh man, I got to copy-edit an amazing police blotter from the west suburbs of Chicago this week. All of these were real reports from the same town: quote:-A man told a preschool teacher he wanted to eat the children at Grace Lutheran Church, 200 N. Catherine Ave., it was reported at 7:26 a.m. Nov. 10. Police weren’t able to locate the man.

GrandpaPants posted:Ben Carson's map of the US How does this even happen? The project is literally download a borders only map, load into paint, paint bucket the states the correct colors. How does that become select Connecticut and everything east of Vermont, cut, paste Connecticut onto side of Vermont? Intern accidentally set the canvas to the wrong size and those states didn't fit, so rather than fix it he just moved them and hoped nobody would notice?

drgnwr1 posted:I think mine rivals it in it's own way. This is kind of neat, really. Guys just wanted to steal a car, find a kid in it, ask him where he wants to go and drop him off there. Kid wasn't hurt or threatened and the car was found abandoned somewhere later. I mean, yeah, they stole a car, but they weren't violent about it and even went out of their way to drop the kid off somewhere public and (one would assume) safe for the kid to wait for authorities to find him.

I find it amusing that the kid just went right to class and didn't say anything about the whole incident. The kid was also left alone in the car for 20 minutes. Would have been great if the car thieves reported the owner for child neglect as they dropped the kid off.

I like how they say the kid was abducted, which is technically true, but the car thieves were more responsible than the mother.

It's still funny, but it makes sense why nobody noticed. It looks right at first glance if you're not looking for something wrong.

The article says the mom was running into a post office for whatever while on the way to work (depending on the time of morning and the post office, this can take a long time depending on what you're doing if you have to have something packaged up).

And I'd be willing to guess that the reason the keys were still in the car were so the kid had access to heat/AC as appropriate. Seems minimally irresponsible to me.
