"Donald Trump’s admission that he intends to give Putin a greenlight for more war and violence, to continue his brutal assault against a free Ukraine, and to expand his aggression to the people of Poland and the Baltic States are appalling and dangerous. Sadly, they are also predictable coming from a man who is promising to rule as a dictator like the ones he praises on day one if he returns to the oval office." - Statement from President Biden via his re-election campaign

Happy Hour News
Meanwhile, in Idaho…
Gee, for some reason the White Nationalists, er, White Christian Nationalists, er, White Separatists, er, Idaho Republicans are afraid the cannibals are coming for the Other White Meat:
State Rep. Heather Scott, R-Blanchard, introduced a bill Thursday to expand the state’s cannibalism ban and told a legislative committee that she’s worried about the possibility that people are eating other people.
“This is going to be normalized at some point, the way our society’s going and the direction we’re going,” Scott said.
This is the weirdest projection ever… or IS IT!!1!?
Idaho is the only state to outlaw cannibalism, according to Encyclopaedia Britannica. Other states have laws targeting abuse or desecration of a corpse, according to Cornell Law School.
Totally scans that Idaho would already be discriminating against cannibals, but there you have it.
So what proof does Scott have to support this much-needed legislation?
Scott said she was on an airplane over the summer and watched a clip from a television show displaying a chef feeding human flesh in sausage to contestants, which inspired her to do something about it. The clip, which she sent to the Idaho Statesman, is from a TruTV prank show, in which they pretend to feed people flesh.
So Scott, of course, had more evidence…
Scott also sent a link to a video featuring a Chinese official denying that his country had sold canned human flesh to people in Zambia. The story was a hoax, spread with fake photos of butchery, according to news reports from 2016.
OK, so two fakes. What else ya got, Scott?
Scott additionally pointed to a North Idaho man who pleaded guilty to murder last year and was initially also charged with cannibalism after investigators found postmortem mutilation and a bloodied bowl at the crime scene. The cannibalism charge was later dropped, according to the Spokesman-Review.
Good Lord, A Cannibal in Idaho!
I need to know if the cannibal served his dinner companion with potatoes. Idaho, REPRESENT!

I needed to blank a hard disk and, while looking for the format command (it's slash p) I bumped into some drive wiping websites.
I am forgot how hilarious drive wiping can get.
Listen, if you feel the government might be after you such that you need to write 32 passes of random data to your hard disk drive, I'm going to suggest you're better served by using a hammer.
@earthlingusa@mas.to Yeah, I was able to see it. I actually went to Twitter & users confirmed my suspicions that Paramount is having issues. I will may cancel my subscription after this game is over.
