“I’m just doing what I’m told. If I am ordered to remove gold fillings from refugees theeth then that’s what I’ll do”, says police officer Michael Hansen.

Just thought I’d add this since not a lot of people outside of the nordic countries seem to have seen it. This is a danish police officer discussing a new danish law that says the police should seize the possesions and money of refugees to finance the integration.

He uh, skipped awful quickly to “stealing gold fillings” didn’t he?

catboyfurby asked:

"birds aren't dinosaurs" ❌ wrong, misinformed, way too common

"all vertebrates evolved from fish, and are therefore technically fish" ✅ mischievous, technically true if you look at it from the right angle, demonstrates how cladistics work

"whales are fish but not for the reason you might think" 😈 this is funny to me specifically

Whales technically being fish is the funniest about face evolution has given us

there's no such thing as a fish, but all mammals are fish, and whales are fish because they're mammals

Another case where a Christian picks a job they know in advance they were going to refuse to do and then they don't have to do the job and somehow the people expecting them to do a job they took of their own free will are found to be in the wrong.

Okay, I'm gonna disagree with this take here. Per the article, he initially was able to have Sundays off, and that changed

Initially, Groff was not asked to work on Sundays, but the situation changed starting in 2015 because of a requirement that Amazon packages be delivered on that day. Based on his request for an accommodation, his managers arranged for other postal workers to deliver packages on Sundays until July 2018. After that, Groff faced disciplinary actions if he did not report to work.

Also, this could be a precedent strengthening religious rights for everyone

Groff had argued that it was too difficult for employees to bring religious claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, which prohibits workplace discrimination on various fronts, including religion.

The justices in a unanimous ruling written by conservative Justice Samuel Alito clarified a 1977 Supreme Court ruling called Trans World Airlines v. Hardison. The court said then that employers are not required to make accommodations if they would impose even a minimal or, using the Latin term preferred by the court, “de minimis,” burden.
...

Groups representing Christian denominations and other religious faiths filed briefs backing Groff, including the American Hindu Coalition, the American Sikh Coalition and the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

Muslim women, who often wear headscarves known as hijabs, have often suffered because of the Supreme Court precedent favoring employers, CAIR’s brief said. That is in part because uniform policies do not take account of the hijab. Muslim women lose job opportunities as a result, the group said.

So, while the specific case involved here does involve Christianity, a ruling in his favor could help non-Christians as well. And honestly, "you're not required to make accommodations if there's even the slightest burden to you" is a pretty bad principle that basically negates any protection, which is presumably why those other faith groups supported him

Imagine paying $12 per month and only getting to see 6000 tweets a day.

Tumblr, the Titan of social media, stands firm against this nonsense.

ayeforscotland

And it’s so broken that it’s disabled the ability to see who has liked your tweets.

And it’s been walked back to 800 tweets for unverified users which is basically no difference hahaha

What an absolute bawheid.
