Apparently Comcast now using customer data to leave anti-net neutrality comments on FCC web site.

And suing any site that exposes them.

So I can't watch the video (though I think it exists), but apparently one of the candidates for the special election in Montana today beat up a reporter fairly badly yesterday. Montana also allows you to register the day of the election. I don't know the details of the race, but I feel like that's not a great move.
It's been all over twitter tonight. The Fox reporters who were witnesses gave a more graphic account than the victim himself. A spokesman tried to make it seem okay to do it because he was a "liberal." At least two papers have rescinded their endorsement in light of the incident.
The guy has been charged with misdemeanor assault, but it is also noted that the local sheriff is one of his campaign donors.
He's the same guy who says retirement is not biblically correct because Adam and Noah lived into their 900s.
Adam and Noah had a just and knowing god at their backs. All we get are assholes like Greg Gianforte.
Eh, they were probably real. The reports of their adventures may have been exaggerated, though.

Yeah, a mystical man who built a boat that fit two (or more) of every animal then repopulated the world through incest, and a guy that was created out of dust and then populated the world through incest. Probably real? No, I sincerely doubt that.
Yeah, and they made their kids do all the work after they fucked up living in paradise / saved all the animals, respectively.
The Bible is all about old people chillin' and ordering around the young'uns.

Or the young'uns getting the old guys liquored up and having babies by them. Which was again incest. The bible does love it some incest.

If you tool around the seamier side of the internet, you'll see it ain't exactly gone out of style, thousands of years later.
Remember that we are all related to one woman 150 thousand years ago.

That's not incest and you know it. Lucy is the first true genetic human and through her the genes were spread, but it's not like she exclusively boned members of her own family to procreate. (And I know you know this and was just being funny.)
An explanation that I heard a long time ago was there was an evolutionary bottle neck where Eve did have to breed with relatives after a serious disaster.
Lucy was australopithecus. 150,000 years ago was relatively recent in hominin evolution.
Mitochondrial Eve was probably homo sapien, though. Not necessarily, I guess!
The water was cold.

Damn, that's what I get for trying to remember stuff instead of looking it up first.
Especially since what you were remembering was fake news:

I remember when she had a baby on the Statue of Liberty.
Pretty sure that's one of the reason the whole nephilim thing came about...
And the piece of shit won the special election.
If I were a Democrat in Congress (alright, stop laughing), the first thing I'd do the moment after he was sworn in would be to introduce a bill abolishing Social Security, and include him by name in the bill as justification. If you can't live to your 900s like Adam or Noah, that's on you for not living biblically correct enough.

He couldn't even get a 10% lead though. Trump took that state by 20+% and the Republicans took the seat last time by 15+%. That's actually a... rather big jump in numbers over just a few months.

About 66% of the votes were from early voting, which the event would have had no effect on.
