Local politician goes toe-to-toe with ‘Deuce Bigalow’ actor over proposed changes to vaccination law

“He just has faulty information,” said Gonzalez. “I told him I’d be more than happy to look at any study that’s a peer-review study, that’s scientific, to suggest the things that he was talking about. The problem is they don’t exist.”

The sssemblywoman then posted on her Facebook page, “That is 20 minutes of my life I’ll never get back arguing that vaccines don’t cause autism with Deuce Bigalow, male gigolo.”

Me: I think there’s a full moon tonight so we got that going for ourselves.

Maggie: You woke me up once in the middle of the night for a lunar eclipse and I wasn’t happy.

There are some things she’ll never let me forget.

Inside The Post-Minecraft Life Of Billionaire Gamer God Markus Persson

So three months ago Persson pushed it all away, completing the sale of Minecraft to Microsoft MSFT +0.17% for $2.5 billion in cash. His 71% stake in Mojang, the company behind Minecraft, made him a new, and particularly flush, member of the FORBES World’s Billionaires list.

So with well over half his life ahead of him, the man who created an entire universe, whose persona was synonymous with it and who received the wrath of his community for abandoning it, must now figure out exactly who he is.

Those were highly volatile bits of sarcasm that billions of people would find extremely offensive. The bottom line is, it is secretly how most of them actually think & i, on the other hand, dont think or feel like that at all. So where does it come from? The collective cesspool of the best thinking of western civilization & humanity n general. I pull it from the cloud of genocidal smog.

Ferguson Police Routinely Violate Rights of Blacks, Justice Dept. Finds

WASHINGTON — Ferguson, Mo., is a third white, but the crime statistics compiled in the city over the past two years seemed to suggest that only black people were breaking the law. They accounted for 85 percent of traffic stops, 90 percent of tickets and 93 percent of arrests. In cases like jaywalking, which often hinge on police discretion, blacks accounted for 95 percent of all arrests.

The racial disparity in those statistics was so stark that the Justice Department has concluded in a report scheduled for release on Wednesday that there was only one explanation: The Ferguson Police Department was routinely violating the constitutional rights of its black residents.

The report, based on a six-month investigation, provides a glimpse into the roots of the racial tensions that boiled over in Ferguson last summer after a black teenager, Michael Brown, was fatally shot by a white police officer, making it a worldwide flash point in the debate over race and policing in America. It describes a city where the police used force almost exclusively on blacks and regularly stopped people without probable cause. Racial bias is so ingrained, the report said, that Ferguson officials circulated racist jokes on their government email accounts.
