Well that depends on whether you think Jesus was in reality or not. Jesus is said to have cast demons out of a dude into a herd of swine, which then ran into a lake and drowned. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exorcism_of_the_Gerasene_demoniac

Not sure why the swine were involved though. Modern exorcists don't use animal props. :iiam:

Mods, please change my name to The Gadarene Swine, tia.

NASA and the Smithsonian did a very cool thing in D.C. last night on the mall.

As a San Diego native (unfortunately no longer living there), I can talk all day about how Tijuana dumps semi-treated sewage directly into the ocean, and how it likes to drift up to Imperial Beach.

The dude who posted this is getting blowback on his Twitter because O’Mara has disabilities and addiction issues. Which, couldn’t he also be a terrible MP and an even worse boss nonetheless?

Its an interesting slippery slope kind of thing. Assholes come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and kinds. Does that mean there are exceptions for some cases, or if they are holding an office like MP should be held to the same standards? Its a very touchy subject for many people. I don't even want to get too deep into it myself.

If you can get elected to government, you can get the same criticism as a neurotypical person.

It may surprise you that it's non-trivial to use a 'normal' DSLR/camera for FB Live/Twitter/whatever and the like unless you have one of those ones that's dedicated purely to livestreaming.

It's like 1/10th the cost to throw a phone or tablet on a tripod and easier, to boot.

The Jared O'Mara thing is kind of grim because the guy doing it is a notorious, sophisticated, and dangerously irresponsible hoaxer who may or may not have wormed his way into an autistic dude's confidences for shits and giggles - he became O'Mara's chief of staff a month before the blow-up.

Thank you for this context. I was wondering why he was getting so much blowback, but this makes more sense.

We should just shut down all this UK politics until we figure out what the hell's going on.

Meanwhile, in the US: Epstein was beat up in jail. Or maybe he tried to commit suicide. Or maybe he's faking it to try to get transferred. This is really great reporting, "four sources have three stories so we're just going to give you all of them, you figure it out."
