Are You a Canadian Prison Guard?

Let me give you some career advice.

Find a new job, while you still can.

Aside from the novel theory that giving inmates broader access to very useful weapons is a good thing, does anyone else figure that the sort of prisoner who most wants tattoos will want a gang/racist/unapproved tattoo?

That's okay, though, because the bleeding-hearts mean well, so whether their ideas are actually, you know, GOOD ONES, is beside the point.

Hmm... so heroin is readily available in the prisons? Well, I guess the silver lining is that it can't be all that hard to get cigarettes.

So, in their concern for public health, they are handing out needles to the inmates?

I can see it...I mean, afterall, if those needles are then used as weapons, there will be far fewer public menaces with which to concern themselves.

Next step?

Hypo-allergenic, 100% Egyptian cotton bedsheets (300 t.c.), used as tourniquets, to prevent infection to their wounds and new, soft, toilet seats to make face-flushing a less traumatic experience.

jmflynny,

300 thread count? You evil SOB - anything under 500 tc is unspeakably inhumane and you know it! What is it with you people and torturing prisoners?

I've heard that we're handing over prisoners to Jordan. They make them sleep on... oh, I can't bear to even type this... it's horrible, just terrible... POLYESTER BLEND!

HOW CAN WE LIVE WITH OURSELVES?!

My tentative retirement plan is to rob a bank in Canada and get sent to prison.

I have a lot of friends who are cops in Vancouver - and needles are their number one concern. Druggies even use them to rob gas stations. At any given time there are a few cops on medical leave taking an anti-AIDS drug cocktail "just in case" after getting stuck with a needle during a search or an arrest. The local needle "exchange" is run by a bunch of sloppy, enabling mofo's and they rarely insist on an actual exchange. I'm told that in the old days a junkie would die to protect his rig - but now they don't care and will casually use them as weapons. Ahh, progress.

Come now, Enas.

You wouldn't really want to be accused of 'coddling', now would you?

I say "Screw 'em!" 300 t.c. is all they deserve!

Megyn Kelly finally calls out Candace Owens
Whoops, I meant she bravely attacks Sydney Sweeney for "bending the knee." (Sweeney put out a very empty PR statement saying "I'm against hate." Whoop-de-doo.)
Megyn Kelly claims she doesn't want to call people out on the right when asked about Candace Owens but then has no compunctions at all about calling people out on the right.
As long as they're not Candace Owens. Strangely, she seems blind and deaf to anything Candace Owens says. That's why this woman calls her "Megyn Keller."
She's now asking her pay-pigs in Pakistan how they think she should address the Candace Owens situation, and if they think this is really all about Israel and the Jews.

More revelations about the least-sexy broken relationship in media history
I'd wanted to review Parts 2, 3, and 4 of Ryan Lizza's revenge posts about Olivia Nuzzi, but they're all paywalled. I thought about briefly subscribing to get at them, but then I read this in Part 2:
Remember the bamboo from Part 1?

Do I ever! It's all I remember!
Well, bamboo is actually a type of grass, and underground, it's all connected in a sprawling network, just like the parts of this story I never wanted to tell. I wish I hadn't been put in this position, that I didn't have to write about any of this, that I didn't have to subject myself or my loved ones to embarrassment and further loss of privacy.

We're back to the fucking bamboo. Guys, I don't think I can pay for bamboo ruminations.
I think he added that because he was embarrassed about all the bamboo imagery from Part 1. He's justifying his twin obsessions: His ex, and bamboo. Which is not a tree but a kind of grass, he'll have you know.
Olivia Nuzzi's crappy Sex and the City fanfic book isn't selling, says CNN (and CNN seems pretty pleased about that)
On Tuesday, the book arrived in stores. At lunchtime, in the Midtown Manhattan nexus of media and publishing, interest in Nuzzi's story seemed more muted. The Barnes and Noble on Fifth Avenue had seven copies tucked into a "New & Notable" rack next to the escalator, below Malala Yousafzai's "Finding My Way." Not many had sold so far, a store employee said.

A few blocks uptown, at a branch of the local independent chain McNally Jackson Books, a few volumes lay on a table of new and noteworthy nonfiction near the front of the store. No one was lining up to get them, or even browsing. Bookseller Alex Howe told CNN around 3 p.m. that though the store had procured "several dozen" copies, not a single one had yet sold -- a figure he said was surprising, considering how many people in media and publishing work in the area.

"We ordered a lot and so far, people have not been beating down the door," Howe said. "I'm not sure where we're gonna put them because right now, supply is outpacing demand." (A manager at McNally Jackson noted that Howe was speaking only in a personal capacity, not as a representative of the store.)

She trashes Ryan Lizza for his "Revenge Porn" here. Emily Jashinsky says that when the Bulwark's gay grifter Tim Miller asked why she didn't report on the (alleged) use of ketamine by RFKJr., she broke down in tears and asked to end the interview.
