Oh, he definitely wasn’t neutral, no father could be, that’s why I say he was trying to avoid the APPEARANCE of not being neutral. ;)
Now that Trump has won and is talking crazy shit, there’s no need to maintain appearances.

No, my version is retributive.
“Oh, Trump won? Fuck it, Hunter gets a pardon.”
Portland in general needs a large dose of common sense if we want to have a livable city.
Biden allowed the prosecution of Hunter to avoid the appearance of not being neutral.
Now that Trump has won and a) is openly talking about pardoning anyone and everyone and b) wanting to prosecute his enemies list, it 100% makes sense to beat him to the punch and pardon Hunter.
If Kamala had won, he would have let it all stand.
If Kamala had won, Hunter would not have been pardoned.
Biden pardoned him because of all the bullshit pardons Trump is talking about.
“You know what, fine, fuck it, Hunter gets a pardon.”
The gun indictment was revealed as part of his tax investigation.
Kinda like when they investigated Clinton for Whitewater and found out he lied about a blowjob.
In both cases, the crimes are rarely prosecuted. The only reason they were prosecuted was because Clinton is Clinton and Hunter is Hunter.

“It insults the intelligence of the American people to compare misdemeanor tax charges to a scheme to steal Top Secret documents and obstruct justice when the government asked for them back,” he tweeted, comparing the charges against Hunter Biden to the recent federal indictment against former President Donald Trump. “If anything, Hunter Biden was treated harshly — those crimes are rarely charged.”
TIL - Japan has bears…
“The bear measures about 1 meter in length”
Pretty small for a bear too!
I thought the gag about Los Angeles being the home of all things not found previously in nature is as cheap as it gets. ;)
Myanmar does have a good quantity of mineral and gemological resources, it wouldn’t surprise me if there were even more unique properties there.
Making a text only post with no article.
Guy found an interesting rock in a gemstone market in Myanmar, thought it was one thing, made it pretty, found out not only was it something else, it was something never before seen in nature.
Naturally, now it lives in Los Angeles.
FTA:
“mineralogists were able to relate the stone to synthetic BiSbO4 – bismuth antimonate – though with the formula Bi3+Sb5+O4, an arrangement never before found in nature.”
So we’ve already KINDA done it, just with less Bi+Sb.
It is kinda pretty, in a super 1974 kind of way I guess…
He didn’t know until after it was faceted…
“thought the raw gem was a mineral called scheelite. After he faceted the stone, though, he realized that he was looking at something unusual.”
Thread pruned for Internet Slapfighting. See rule 4.
Temp bans for both of you. Ensign_Crab has been warned on this before so their temp ban is slightly longer.
Generally, I’d just pick the most unusual word from the headline, search for that, and sort by “New”. In this case “Extinction”.

Allowing this for now as the discussion following a Trump win has a different context than hypotheticals from before a Trump win.
For example:
Before the election Trump was still claiming he knew nothing of Project 2025.
AFTER the election, his nominee to run the FCC is the guy who WROTE the FCC chapter of Project 2025.
“Oh, so he’s going to abuse pardon power? Fine, fuck it, Hunter gets a pardon.”
