Veteran marijuana activist and podcaster "Radical" Russ Belville records this cannabis news, interview, and comedy podcast live from the Treasure Valley on the border of America's Last Absolute Prohibition State—Idaho. Russ brings you a unique look at the thriving cannabis industry in Ontario, Oregon—Idaho's cannabis capital—and the fight to end Idaho's antiquated marijuana prohibition laws for medical marijuana patients and adult cannabis consumers alike. Hear from growers, researchers, businesspeople, doctors, patients, politicians, activists and more.
I specifically stood in the cold to avoid the standing in a huge indoor snake queue full of COVID-carrying humans, goddammit. What the hell is VIP for plasma donation?
Gender is a made up social thing. But where does that impact one’s medical care? Men need urologists, women need OB/GYNs, which doctor does Eliot Page, Demi Lovato, and Eddie Izzard need? Are there special diseases, conditions, organs, and systems the non-binary have or lack compared to the binary?
This week’s show is packed with disco, rap, Celtic, Ukrainian, country, and metal musical artistry from ages 22 to 97, featuring our Headliner, the late great civil rights activist Harry Belafonte.
I read the whole article and was left with more questions than answers. If this omnisexual person is attracted to both male bodies and female bodies, and recognizes and appreciates them as men and women, and finds attraction in either masculinity or femininity, how have I not just described a bisexual person?
Unlike time to be imprisoned, we do not all share the same income to be fined. A $500 fine to me means bills don’t get paid. A $500 fine to Warren Buffet is a rounding error. So, you end up with the double-parking scenario in New York, where it’s easier for the rich to pay parking tickets than to try to find parking.
I always try to be clear. Sex is an unchangeable biological reality, observed not assigned at birth, that makes us male and female. Gender is a fluid personality trait, expressed subjectively, that makes us men and women. Most men are male, most women are female, the few who aren’t we call trans.
I know all y’all don’t see how the pendulum could ever swing back now on marijuana legalization. But I have very good friends in marijuana legalization who were certain it would be legal by 1980. I also remember well how ubiquitous cigarette smoking used to be, and not a single cigarette smoker was arrested to make it the huge taboo it is today.
This year, Warren Zevon, Iron Maiden, and Soundgarden (all rockers) were nominated, all with years of eligibility (25 years after first release, which was 1969, 1980, & 1988, respectively), but first-time nominee Missy Elliott (not a rocker) is inducted, her debut being in 1997.
Not only is the public prohibition of showing female breasts antiquated and downright Puritan by European standards, (especially at a swimming pool), it’s sexist. That trans man lifeguard with the exposed boobies would probably rescue someday a fat-ass male with bigger boobies than he.
“Sadly, I have to say, that no one really has covered it well, the insurrection. Because they only say that they were wrong, they have to go to jail, we have to punish them and all that stuff. But no one really has gotten into why was it that way? What powers do people have that have really upset and angry at government?”
The self-driving future has arrived in San Francisco. And, increasingly and all too often, it looks like a confounded cop, road flare in hand, commanding a wayward autonomous vehicle as if it were a misbehaving, two-ton puppy.
