Once again the “AAA” industry thinks it has a golden goose, and once again it’s primed to bang that goose until the eggs come out filled with nothing but decaying spunk.

Linux Deepin Review – For The Record

Posted in Andy Recommends by goodolandy
Feb 26 2018

Linux Deepin Review. Today I take a close look at Deepin Linux. It’s a Linux distro from a company in China called Wuhan Deepin Technology Co., Ltd. Despite being a little unsure what to expect at first, I came to appreciate a lot of the thoughtful features that went into into the desktop.

There are some rough edges, but overall it’s a fascinating distro taking a very different approach to blending FoSS and proprietary software.

STUDY: Emotional Support Pets Aren’t Real

Posted in Andy Recommends by goodolandy
Feb 25 2018

Scientists aren’t convinced emotional support animals do anything. Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian, and Aida Rodriguez, the hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below. http://www.tytnetwork.com/join

“A college student wanted to bring a hamster on a plane and then flushed it down an airport toilet after Spirit Airlines told her she wasn’t allowed to board with it. A United Airlines passenger attempted to get on a flight with a peacock. Another air traveler took a turkey on a plane. Yet another brought on a duck wearing red booties. Just Wednesday, a dog’s teeth scraped a little girl’s head on a Southwest Airlines flight.

These were real events that happened in America: travelers toting “emotional support animals,” claiming they need the ESAs (which are distinct from service animals trained to help those with physical disabilities) to stay calm while flying. And there are more of them out there: in January, Delta reported that it carries around 700 service or support animals daily and has had to create a special support desk for them.

How is it legal to bring your duck on the plane? Under the federal Air Carrier Access Act, passengers are allowed to bring animals aboard by showing a letter from a mental health clinician or doctor asserting that the pet is part of their therapy. But the law is surprisingly vague about which species can come on board and gives airlines significant discretion. “You are never required to accommodate certain unusual service animals (e.g., snakes, other reptiles, ferrets, rodents, and spiders) as service animals in the cabin,” it reads.”

Trump Throws Fit, Threatens To Take His ICE Agents And Go Home

Posted in Andy Recommends by goodolandy
Feb 25 2018

Trump thinks California is being a bunch of meanies. Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian, and Aida Rodriguez, the hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below. http://www.tytnetwork.com/join

“President Donald Trump said Thursday that he may pull the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency out of California, an idea so unlikely that some of his staunchest critics dismissed it as an empty taunt against the state over immigration policies.

Withdrawing ICE, partially or completely, runs counter to Trump’s record of dramatically increasing deportation arrests and pledging to beef up the agency with an additional 10,000 employees. The administration has been threatening more — not less — immigration enforcement in California in response to a new state law that sharply limits cooperation with federal authorities.

The president’s suggestion, however impractical, was his latest attention-grabbing statement to pressure so-called “sanctuary” jurisdictions, which the administration claims are a magnet for immigrants who commit crimes.

“Frankly, if I wanted to pull our people from California you would have a crime nest like you’ve never seen in California,” he said at the White House during a meeting with state and local officials on school safety and gun violence. “All I’d have to do is say is, ‘ICE and Border Patrol, let California alone,’ you’d be inundated. You would see crime like nobody has ever seen crime in this country.”

“I’m running for Congress because billionaires and giant corporations have too much control over our government.
We need to get money out of politics, and end the corruption in Washington. That’s why I’m not accepting any corporate PAC money for my campaign.

As a worker’s rights advocate and labor lawyer, I’ve spent my career fighting the giant corporations that rig the economy against workers and our community. I’m fighting for workers. I’m fighting for hardworking Kansas families and small businesses. I’m fighting for a better tomorrow for my kids and yours. I’m fighting for your voice.
I’m fighting for US.”*
