Hey buddy. Sorry for what I said back there. Here's some zadr head canons to make you feel better, mk?

When an irkens heart rate increases by a drastic amount, or feels an intense amount of nervousness, the PAK will throw all logical thoughts out the window and goes into a flight or fight feral mode, called the PAK Emergency Protocol, or PEP. so whenever dib kisses him, he has to mumble "PAK disengage PEP, PAK disengage PEP, PAK disengage PEP" Like a billion times. Dibs gotten used to it though

Dib straightens Zims antennae for him, and Zim styles dibs cowlick in return. They look like this when they do it

Despite only being boyfriends, Zim calls dib his husband of 60 years who he has loved since the beginning of time. Neither of them are old enough for this to be true.

Zim is EXTREMELY poetic with his compliments towards dib. He would say shit like "your eyes are my ecosystem. The brown is the soil the most beautiful flowers emerge from, the eye whites is the shining moon that peeks beyond the clouds, the glimmer in them are my stars, your eyebags are my purple sunsets. Why would I ever need a sun when the joy in your eyes works just as well, if not infinitely better?" And dibs like "uh. Wem. Wkrn. Wkqnq . I . L.like. your. Antennae." And Zim treats it like the kindest, most meaningful and tears worthy compliment he's ever received

This one didn't feel like it should sit till Morning

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — The Nashville Jewish community is speaking out following a downtown demonstration on Saturday involving swastika flags and a group of people described by multiple lawmakers as “Nazis.”

News 2 spoke with the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) on Sunday, Feb. 18 to learn more about the group marching and possible affiliations.

Carla Hill, the senior director of investigative research for ADL’s Center on Extremism, believed the group was mostly composed of members of the extremist Blood Tribe group, but also had members of the Vinland Rebels, most likely to bolster numbers. She said the salutes, chants, and marching under swastikas were all signs indicative of the True Blood group. In addition, logos for both groups were reportedly visible.

The march on Saturday, Feb. 17 was just the latest form of hate speech the Nashville Jewish community has experienced in recent history. In 2023, the Sylvan Park community had several homes spray-painted with swastikas. That’s in addition to the antisemitic flyers the Jewish Federation of Greater Nashville has seen distributed around the community, as well as rising reports of problems for Jewish children in area schools.

PREVIOUS: Lawmakers react to group of ‘Nazis’ marching through downtown Nashville

“Not only Metro Nashville, but also Williamson County, Rutherford County, Sumner County, all of those areas where children are verbally attacked and sometimes even physically attacked,” said Deborah Oleshansky, the community relations director for the Jewish Federation of Greater Nashville. 

According to the ADL, Tennessee saw 290 hate speech-related incidents last year.  

Another concern is the rise of sub-divided extremist groups, such as the Blood Tribe and Goyium Defense League, which the Jewish Federation reported seeing advertised on flyers distributed locally. 

“It is new for some of us from a certain generation to suddenly feel threatened in a way that we know our parents and grandparents felt threatened, but which we often really hadn’t felt until fairly recently,” Oleshansky said.  

Antisemitism and safety fears surge among US Jews, survey finds

Local Jewish leaders said social media has largely united and given a voice to these extremist groups and has led to an increase in propaganda spreading. Oleshansky challenged extremists to take a critical look at the messages being shared within these groups.  

“We are a tiny minority that could not possibly be in control in the way that they want to think that we are in control, and even if we were, the things we would want to be doing are things that they would probably want also, because our tradition teaches to take care of each other, to build strong community, to be in community, to help each other, to take care of our neighbors,” Oleshansky said. 

Oleshansky said the Jewish Federation felt the community’s support following Saturday’s march, but she urged all leaders to be outspoken in opposing the demonstration. 

She also encouraged those looking for support to attend one of the Jewish Federation’s upcoming events, including Jewish matchmaker Aleeza Ben Shalom coming to Nashville on Feb. 27, or the JCRC Social Justice Seder event coming up on April 11.

John Russell at LGBTQ Nation:

A Republican-backed law has led to the removal of hundreds of books from school libraries in one Tennessee county — including a title by children’s author Dr. Seuss. Dr. Seuss’s 1974 children’s book Wacky Wednesday is among more than 400 titles that have been banned from school libraries in Wilson Country, Tennessee following changes made to the state’s 2022 “Age Appropriate Materials Act” earlier this year, local ABC affiliate WKRN reported. On July 1, ahead of the start of the 2024-2025 school year, the Republican-backed H.B. 843 went into effect. The bill, proposed by state Rep. Susan Lynn (R), amended the 2022 law to require schools to remove all material that “contains nudity, or descriptions or depictions of sexual excitement, sexual conduct, excess violence, or sadomasochistic abuse…is not appropriate for the age or maturity level of a student in any of the grades kindergarten through twelve…or is patently offensive…or appeals to the prurient interest.”

While Lynn told WKRN in August that “the goal of this law is to keep sexually explicit materials out of the hands of minors,” the outlet notes that critics have said H.B. 843 is so vague that the Bible could be banned from schools. The law has already led one Wilson County high school to shut down its library.

[...] The removal of Wacky Wednesday from Wilson Country school libraries under the Republican-backed law comes more than three years after right-wing pundits blamed the “woke left” for “canceling” Dr. Seuss. Republicans and conservative outlets painted the children’s book author, who died in 1991, as a victim of so-called “cancel culture” after Dr. Seuss Enterprises announced in March 2021 that it would stop publishing six of his books because they contained racist depictions of characters of color. The company described the books as portraying “people in ways that are hurtful and wrong,” and said in a statement at the time that “Ceasing sales of these books is only part of our commitment and our broader plan to ensure Dr. Seuss Enterprises’s catalog represents and supports all communities and families.” While the decision to stop publishing the six books was made by Dr. Seuss Enterprises, right-wing outlets like Fox News mischaracterized it as a book ban.

Remember when the right-wing media had a hissyfit about 6 Dr. Seuss books being taken out of circulation back in 2021 due to racist depictions of people of color?

Well, the shoe is on the other foot now, as Dr. Seuss book Wacky Wednesday has been taken off school library shelves in Wilson County, TN school libraries due to book ban law HB843.

‘A concern for everyone’: Tennessee poised to ban Pride flags in schools | Tennessee | The Guardian

Bulso said in a January interview with the local news station WKRN that the LGBTQ+ Pride flag represents values and ideas that he opposes, including the 2015 US supreme court ruling that legalized same-sex marriage.

“Fifty years ago, we had a consensus on what marriage is, we don’t have that anymore,” Bulso told reporters. “So the values that I think most parents want their children exposed to are the ones that were in existence at the time that our country was founded.”

When pressed by Democratic colleagues to explain the proposed ban, Bulso declined to say if the bill prohibits the display of the Confederate flag in Tennessee classrooms.

Bulso’s office did not respond to the Guardian’s multiple requests for comment.

Outside of his work as a state lawmaker, Bulso is a private attorney who helps parents pursue legal action against public school districts. He is currently representing a group of parents in their lawsuit against the Williamson county board of education for allegedly violating the Age-Appropriate Materials Act of 2022, colloquially referred to by critics as a “book ban”, which requires schools to remove books that are deemed inappropriate for students.

Notably, one of the four plaintiffs in the case, Aundrea Gomez, does not have children who are enrolled in Williamson county public schools. She has children who are “eligible” to be enrolled in the county school system, according to the lawsuit. Gomez also works as the Tennessee director of Citizens for Renewing America, a rightwing Christian non-profit that stands against “cancel culture”.

“There’s obviously the risk of a conflict of interest between what Bulso is doing in his private practice, and what he’s doing as a legislator,” said Bryan Davidson, policy director at the American Civil Liberties Union of Tennessee. “A huge part of his practice is representing plaintiffs who do not have children in the school system they want to sue.”

Kroger changes unpopular policy after customer pushback

Daniel Kline

The retailer has faced the same problems as Walmart, Dollar General, and Target but tried to solve them in a different way.

Retailers love selling something that's more work for customers as being about choice or control.

Panera Bread, for example, won't even pour your coffee. The chain hands customers a cup and forces them to assemble their drinks themselves. That does give them full control of their beverage, but Starbucks does the same thing by allowing complete customization in its app.

It's a very fine line between a restaurant offering something that's a benefit, like a salsa bar at a Mexican eatery or the old Roy Rogers' Fixins' bar that let customers truly customize their burgers to a business passing off work from employees to customers. In many cases, self-checkout has been sold to consumers as being about convenience, but in reality, it's about spending less money on labor.

Over the past few years, nearly all the major chains that sell groceries have installed self-checkout lanes. The results, however, have been very mixed as while labor costs come down, shoplifting — both intentional and accidental — goes up.

"39% of all thefts within grocery stores occur at self-checkout," according to data from loss prevention platform Auror which based its information on 2.5 million transactions across 10,000 stores. The average self-checkout theft costs a store $120, or one 8-hour shift of a cashier making $15 an hour.

Kroger has tried all self-checkout stores in very select locations including a store in Tennessee that was retrofitted to remove the traditional checkout lanes. That store was picked because a high number of that location's customers were already using self-checkout, a Kroger spokesperson told WKRN.

"These allow our customers to scan and bag their own items,” said Kroger Corporate Affairs Manager Lauren Bell, told the station, adding that it makes the experience faster.

The chain, however, made it clear that not every checkout clerk was replaced by self-checkout. Bell shared that there were still employees who could help with checkout for those who don't want to or can't use self-checkout.

“We still have staff at the front end ready and willing to step in to assist those customers,” said Bell.

Kroger had tested the self-checkout-only concept in a Dallas store beginning in early 2021. That store was also retrofitted to eliminate traditional cashier-based checkout lanes and some other changes were made.

The retailer added "wide-belted self-checkouts [that] can accommodate large-volume purchases” and “will still have cashiers and courtesy clerks to help customers” who need assistance," NFCW.com reported.

Kroger recently quietly ended the self-checkout-only experiment in Dallas. The company has brought back some tradtiional checkout lanes at the store.

"We listened closely to customer feedback and made the decision to convert back to hosting staffed checkout lanes at this store,” Kroger spokesman John Votava told The Dallas Morning News.

That move comes after key rivals including Target, Walmart, and Dollar General have made self-checkout locations in some stores. Target has imposed item limits at self-checkout in some stores while Walmart has removed self-checkout in select stores.

Walmart has also given employees at some stores the ability to shut off self-checkout so security personnel can check whether a company has not scanned certain items. That's a controversial move because it's being presented to customers as a technology breakdown rather than a stall tactic designed to allow for a bad check.

Dollar General has also decided to cut down its reliance on self-checkout. The company's CEO Todd Vasos talked about the change during his company's third-quarter earnings call.

"We plan to increase the employee presence at the front end of our stores and in particular, the checkout area. While self-checkout has contributed to the convenient proposition for our customers in certain stores, it does not reduce the importance of a friendly, helpful employee who is there to greet customers and assist while the checkout process is happening.," he said.

HUMBOLDT, Tenn. (WKRN) — A 12-year-old girl was charged with first-degree murder after prosecutors said that she suffocated her 8-year-old cousin in a bunk bed they shared in Humboldt, Tennessee.

The victim’s mother, Ramaya Smith, told News 2’s sister station WREG that the issue arose over an argument about an iPhone. Smith remembered her eight-year-old daughter as happy.

“When they told me about that, I should have just gone to get my kid,” Smith told WREG. “But they were having fun for the summer, and I didn’t think she would kill my baby.”

Demeria Hollingsworth, 8, and her cousin were staying with their grandmother in Humboldt for the summer.

“She liked to read books, go swimming, and play outside.” Smith said. “Ride her bike every day, play with the kids in the neighborhood, play with my friends’ kids. My baby was sweet.”

According to District Attorney Frederick Agee, home surveillance video showed a child, identified as Hollingsworth’s cousin, smother Hollingsworth with bedding. The video then showed the 12-year-old clean up and reposition the body. “I consider this to be one of the most disturbing violent acts committed by either an adult or juvenile that my office has prosecuted,” a statement from Agee reads, in part.

It went on to say that they are petitioning the juvenile judge to try the suspect as an adult.

“Last time I seen my baby, she was smiling, giving me kisses, telling me she will see me when it’s time for her to come back home,” Smith said. “She’s never coming back home. She’s never coming back home.”

The 12-year-old, set to turn 13 soon, has been charged with first-degree murder and tampering with evidence. Smith said that she hoped for the maximum sentence.
