Police and prosecutors use junk science to falsely accuse and convict 911 callers of crimes. The use of junk science and pseudo-science by police and prosecutors is widespread and has been used to send thousands of innocent people to prison. This is just one more example, and one of the most egregiously bad.

I don't usually post memes, but this is some high quality science.

Hello All.
Due to a sliiiiight miscalculation on car repairs we dropped more on making sure we could drive than I thought. Thanks to this I'm going to run a discount on my dice shop (either http://crypticcrits.com or https://ko-fi.com/hexedcoffee, whatever your flavor is) to try to recover costs.

Use NEWYEAR23 on either site to get 20% off your order! I appreciate any boost a hell of a lot. I do ship worldwide.

I wish I could find a copy of one game I made, but I never released it, and that was before the net was really A Thing, so it didn't have a chance to drift away onto distant shores.

Not that it was any masterpiece, but a world better than the Missile Command clone that paid for my floppy drive & controller. Regrettably, that one does survive. =:)

And trying to search for "Arachnida".. not so easy. ^_^;

You are not alone.
The dark druids are thinking of you, and wondering what type of antlers you would like when your transformation begins early next year.

This this is the annual plea to fake a QA or testing emergency that delays your release until January.

Bought some guitar strings on wish and they're covered in a dried dark red substance and there's a note in the box that just says "don't worry about it"

The old social media dies, the new one struggles to be born, now is the time of irritating overworked shitposts.

Fun fact: the MP3 file format is as old today as 8-track tapes were when MP3 was invented

*insert eyeroll emoticon here*

Looking for songs that are similar to Teardrop by Massive Attack. Minimal voice/singing or a minimum of intelligible words would be ideal, as this is for listening to while working on textual documents, and I need all 9 of my braincells vibin’ but not processing words/lyrics.

And entirely unexpectedly, the textbooks used by the JROTC programs are full of conservative half-truths, evasions, and flat out lies.

Interesting that these are almost exclusively in low-income districts. Gotta keep up the supply of expendable cannon-fodder to fuel the country's adventurism and enforcement of hegemonic power worldwide. Not to mention training the next generation of stochastic terrorists.

Only 13 days so far in 2022 where police have not killed someone.

Black people are 3 times more likely to be killed by police than white people.

Two-thirds of killings are the result of traffic stops, mental health checks, domestic disturbances, and non-violent offenses.

Killings by police on on the rise nationwide.
