Our subs, short and soft, are okay...
Though the tuna is funny that way...
But at Subway the meat
Substitutes can't be beat...
Though they say, "May contain DNA."
My local, which couldn't be more conveniently located, has done the impossible: keep me out of a dirt cheap (by local standards) sandwich shoppe for a solid decade. How? By making me simultaneously sorry for and suspicious of their lonely, morose drudges. I'd feel less guilty, and less nervous, going to the massage place.

Considering how much that 'luxury' tourist drive cost the passengers -- Making fun, even if cruel fun, of 'your betters' is a right of the lower classes.

Seriously? Does DM understand Titan is a Minecraft meme? Its hilarious especially considering how they explode out of me.
Its the best Subway ad I've heard since the 90s. This is like making Ryan Renolds not able to ad-lib lines in the next Deadpool because Writer's Strike.

/\ ...Still, I appreciate Skidmark's posting of articles like this. Sometimes seeing an alternative perspective, even if it is yourself in carnival warped mirror, can spur a thoughtful study.

It is difficult to underestimate how much the youngsters and shit memers have been laughing about the spam in a can. Only the kill joys and paid mercs would make an active case against this take.

...When Dad went to work at NASA just after the Challenger accident, he - a former Marine - was literally stunned by some of the jokes going around there at the time. In the end, that's how they dealt with it.

:heh: IIRC, quite a few years ago the Olympics suddenly declared that all women athletes would have to take DNA tests to see if they were, well, female. A large percentage of the North Korean team abruptly had health and 'family crises' and had to go home. That was a few years after the East German doping scandal...
[War History on Line] Finland was in a strange place during the Second World War. At first, the nation hoped to stay out of the conflict. That became impossible when the Russians launched the Winter War. Lauri Törni, a Finn in his early 20s, fought bravely. Thus began a multi-year odyssey that saw him fight for the militaries of three different countries.

Yes, I'm afraid the answer is Biblical. Any officer who interferes with an individual's right to record in public needs their eyes gouged out.
Word will get around really quick.

This has become standard procedure by the BLM types during arrest. They have to the they were 'oppressed'.

Context might matter. In careful reading of the entire article it seems possible that the woman doing the filming of the couple being arrested was a part of the criminal act, or an accessory after the fact. If that is so, it is reasonable for the LASD Deputy telling her she is being detained for questioning, and her resisting and keeping the phone in his face, is the escalation that prompted use of force. 48 hr rule here might be warranted, everybody wants another George Floyd moment in the news and payout, so motives for provocation are much more sinister and racial these days. Just sayin' not a rush to judgement moment.

ANTIFA medics are always part of the operation. I am surprised to see a shop lifting arrest in California at all.

Indeed. While the right to record is established, permit me to venture out onto a stout oak limb and suggest that, based on historical incidents, this beating didn't just fall out of the sky but was the result of previous, off-camera "interactions".

I recall the 1st time I saw Antifa medics - horribly fat chicks dressed in pink sweats that were several sizes too small. I've still no idea what they thought they were going to accomplish.

^ They seem mostly to argue will people as they claim medical authority on no apparent grounds or credentials. Probably too out of shape to participate in any physical training. What they lack in physical fitness, they seem to make up for with belligerence. I don’t get a “care-giver” vibe from them.

[LettersFromAustralia] People who can't use a spell check or safety test gene-vaccines want to control everything you can see, hear or say online.
The biggest threat to your safety is Permanent Canberra's internet power grab. They want to own "truth" then silence what they don't like as "misinformation". You can say no - but not for long.
Censorship is power. The one who censors takes power from the one who can’t see.
Permanent Canberra is right now building a digital cage “for your safety”.
They want to change the law so tech corporations censor you on behalf of the government’s broadcast regulator Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA), which will set the rules. Ever had a strike on YouTube or a FaceBook suspension?
You’ll be safe from ever having a “misinformed” thought again.
CORPORATIONS TO CENSOR YOU FOR CANBERRA
The proposed legal changes will give ACMA sweeping powers to bring digital platform providers under their censorship framework.
They will outsource censorship to the digital platforms so the government can dishonestly pretend that it is not the one ordering the censoring. It’s decentralised censorship.
The Communications Legislation Amendment (Combatting Misinformation and Disinformation) Bill 2023 will do this by enforcing “digital platform standards” and “industry codes” on “misinformation and disinformation” with fines.
ACMA will get to define “truth” and “misinformation” and register industry codes to force Big Tech companies to make sure nothing you write on their platforms contradicts government-approved “truth”.
ACMA will give the digital platforms a chance to come up with their own codes. But whenever ACMA feels it’s necessary or convenient, they can determine whatever standard they like, “in order to provide adequate protection for the community from misinformation or disinformation”, for example at (46) c) here.
It allows ACMA to register a code that restricts (“burdens”) political communication as long as it’s “reasonable and not excessive, having regard to any circumstances the ACMA considers relevant” (Division 4 - Misinformation Codes (37) d) i), ii).
Think political censorship won’t happen? It already did last week when Liberal Democrat John Ruddick gave his maiden speech on being elected to the NSW Upper House. His excellent speech called into question the dangerously rushed gene-vaccines, and it was censored off YouTube. It has since been reinstated (watch below).
If this law is passed, you will never again see anything Permanent Canberra doesn’t like on Twitter, FaceBook, Instagram, YouTube, Bitchute, Substack or Rumble because ACMA will fine them if they don’t censor you. Some of the fines are 1000, 5000 or 10,000 penalty units.
A Commonwealth penalty unit is now $275. That means a 5000 penalty unit fine is $1.375 million.
The digital firms will have to collect information on your “misinformation” and turn over extensive reporting of their “misinformation and disinformation” policing to ACMA.

Sorry for the double post, it paused and i thought it didn't register
Also sorry for repeated post but this is happening right now in Australia - what the US Federal Court in Louisiana just prohibited they did here, and worse they want a new law to make the government able to censor everything !!!
please do have a look if only to see the horror that might have happened to you if you didn't have the First Amendment
So long as Israel controls the on/off switch, and not countries that have historically been her enemies.
[IsraelTimes] The proposed 150km subsea electricity cable will run along Israel’s Mediterranean coast from Ashkelon in the south to Haifa in the north
Israel is advancing plans for the construction of an underwater electricity cable project to meet growing energy needs in the center and north of the country and to link the country’s electricity network to power grids in Europa ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... and countries in the Gulf region.
The national planning and building council on Tuesday decided to commence with the planning and construction of the proposed 150-kilometer (93-mile) subsea electricity cable that will run along Israel’s Mediterranean coast from Ashkelon in the south to Haifa in the north, the Energy Ministry said in a statement. The underwater power cable will transmit electricity mainly generated from renewable solar energy fields in Israel’s south to areas of demand in cities in the center and the north.
According to the subsea cable project plan, the possibility of connecting Israel’s electricity network to power grids in Europe via Cyprus and Greece will be advanced, as well as the option of connecting to Gulf countries through Jordan and Egypt, the ministry said.
Connecting the underwater cable to regional countries such as Egypt would open the possibility to have a backup for the local grid in case of power shortages and allow for exports of green electricity produced in Israel, the ministry said.
The project is part of a broader vision by Energy and Infrastructure Minister Israel Katz to turn Israel into an energy power and an energy bridge connecting East and West while strengthening its international status.
"I welcome the first step on the way to establishing an undersea electricity cable along Israel’s coast — a groundbreaking cross-border project that will move the Israeli electricity grid forward and help Israel become an energy power," Katz said. "The cable is a significant part of the national plan for energy and infrastructure that I will present in the coming weeks, to improve the reliability of the electricity system, accelerate the deployment of renewable energies, and link Israel’s electricity grid to Europe, Egypt, Jordan, and the Gulf states — a step that will contribute to regional stability."
Recent heatwaves leading to power outages in the country as the country’s electricity grid struggles to meet sweltering demand have made energy security and independence even more pressing. At the beginning of June, heatwave-related power cuts affected some 260,000 Israelis as temperatures rose above 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit), while high winds whipped up hundreds of fires across the country, closing roads and forcing some evacuations.
Earlier in June, the planning and building council approved a proposal to allocate 40,000 more dunams (10,000 acres) of land in open areas for solar power facilities. The decision fell short of the 69,000 dunams the Energy Ministry, which submitted the request, had sought. That’s as Israel has set itself a target to generate 30 percent of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030. Most of that will be solar energy. But by the end of last year, the state was barely scraping 10%, a goal it should have reached by 2020.
The plan for the underwater electricity cable comes after Katz in June paid a visit to La Belle France where he toured the IFA-2 subsea electrical interconnector running beneath the English Channel between La Belle France and the United Kingdom.
Separately, state-owned energy group EAPC (Europe Asia Pipeline Co.) announced last month that it has reached an agreement with the Israeli government to build a 254-kilometer (158-mile) fiber optic cable between the Mediterranean and the Red Sea as part of a national project to turn Israel into a communications hub and corridor for data transmission in the Middle East, connecting Europe to the Gulf states and Asia. The fiber optic infrastructure will be built along EAPC’s oil pipeline between the Mediterranean port of Ashkelon and the Red Sea port of Eilat.
As part of the project, EAPC will build at its facilities in Ashkelon and Eilat, two landing stations to connect to incoming subsea cables from Europe, Asia and the Middle East. EAPC will also install a connection for communication providers in Jordan, at the Wadi Araba border crossing, known as the Yitzhak Rabin terminal on the Israeli side.
