I have been blogging online since before there were blogs. I continue blogging from time to time on various subjects here and as much of my past blogging as I've been able to recover is found here as well.
What if, by today’s enlightened standards, Caitlyn competed in the 1976 Women’s Pentathlon? Where East Germany’s Seigrun Seigl won gold with a 13.31 100m hurdles, 12.92m shot put, 1.74m high jump, 6.49m long jump, and a 23.09 200m dash?
Maybe Mr. Garcia should’ve told them he found a massive pot grow. Texas police react really quickly when there’s a big asset forfeiture possible. They’d even bring out the shiny new MRAP and have their full array of battlefield rifles and body armor ready to go.
“My understanding is that the victims, they came over to the fence and said ’Hey could [you not do your] shooting out in the yard? We have a young baby that’s trying to go to sleep,” and he had been drinking and he says ’I’ll do what I want to in my front yard,’” Capers told KTRK. The shooter was known to shoot his AR-15 style rifle in his front yard.
I’ve admitted to my transphobia, and I’m working to understand an issue I may never fully grok. But even if you think the whole idea of transgenderism is nutty, why do you care how other people raise their kids?
The whole reason we feminists fought for Title IX in the 1970s was so that females, who have bodies that are, at every level and every age, at every level of competition, slower and weaker than male bodies, could compete against each other and thereby have fair and equal access to sporting opportunities. We didn’t come up with Title IX because sporting opportunities were lacking for athletes who like to wear dresses and makeup.
Back when marijuana was strictly illegal, when the mere smell of it would draw police attention, when simply being caught in possession of it meant immediate arrest, there was a proliferation of illegal weed stores in New York City. But now, when the smell and possession of weed is legal, law enforcement’s going to really crack down.
There is a small list of things that, as Red State Refugee, I prefer about Idaho to Oregon. Better license plates (7 letters over 6). College football (go Big Blue!). Street addressing (seriously, Medford, what’s with the hidden houses in people’s backyards?). But high on the list is Boise’s approach to homelessness.
I’ve been posting about transphobia, that bigoted belief system that asserts that human beings (with rare exception for genetic anomalies) come in two sexes, one that’s designed for the production of numerous tiny motile sex cells and the other that’s designed for production of a single large mostly-immobile sex cell, the combination of which produces a fertilized embryo carried and borne by the latter sex.
Oregon experienced its first ever year-to-year drop in marijuana sales in 2022, while one rural border town was second only to the Portland in statewide sales.
In the two years and nine months since allowing for regulated sales, the small Eastern Oregon town of Ontario has sold over a quarter-billion dollars of marijuana products.
Despite Idaho police making twice the arrests, marijuana use among Idaho adults continues to rise, with college-aged Idahoans’ increased use rate outpacing the national average.
Data from the Oregon Liquor & Cannabis Commission reveal that 2021 marijuana sales growth was greatest in Malheur County and accounted for over a quarter of the $70.9 million annual marijuana sales increase for the state of Oregon.
I used to be a Twitter power user, but since Elongated Muskrat has turned it into a Nazi pub, I have migrated to Mastodon. And Facebook just makes me angry.
