I want people to be mad but I'm so fuckin happy we don't have normalized political violence in our society. In so many other systems, Manchin would've been assassinated a while ago. But our system treats violence as an aberration and that's amazing. It's loving amazing. Once you open the violence jar, you can't close it.

Imagine if the Jan 6ers actually found a democrat in the capital…

Never underestimate the ability for GOP consultants to be able to twist and frame literally anything as bad. If they can do it for Fred Rodgers, I’m pretty sure they can do it for “decision”.

Sorry man pop punk is dead and it’s just tiktok people who couldn’t make it any other genre dumping their pop poo poo into the scene now. It’s way more pop and way less punk.

Edit: I’m typing this between sets at a concert right now. Home Team just finished, Real Friends is next. The opener was Taylor Acorn who is some tiktok person who went viral with a cover of a pop punk song so she ditched her 5 year country singing “career” and pivoted to pop punk. gently caress MGK for paving the way.

Does the second amendment cover 88mm flak guns

It's just a bit after dusk and my girlfriend and I are walking through central park. It's a picture perfect evening with a picture perfect woman, and my heart could not be more full.

"What's wrong, babe?" she asks. She can feel my hand in hers get a little clammy, but she doesn't know how nervous I am about this moment. I turn to her and get down on one knee.

I pull out her grandmother's ring and say, "Darling I cannot walk another step in this world without you by my side. You are my one person meant for me and I hope you feel the same. I dream about the life we will live together. You fill me with so much hope for the future. Will you marry me and continue down this road with me forever?"

"I'm sorry, did you say somthing?" she says, eyes fixated on the drones in the shape of pieces of candy as they slowly morph into the logo of Candy Crush.

There's a slight hum of drones like a small swarm of bees only interrupted by a single click. My friend is an amateur photographer, and I promised him he would be my best man if he could capture the moment she said yes. A few months later, Candy Crush issues a DMCA against our wedding invitations due to their logo appearing in our photo in the night sky. I become the joker.

That is by design. Clean up is easier since it's all contained in the box so you can just replace the box for the next batch of students.

The amount of school shootings should be 0 and not hundreds a year regardless of what fraction of a percentage point of people are affected. Regardless if my daughter actually sees a person with a gun walking into her school, she's already affected by all the lockdowns and drills and other bullshit. Saying it only affects .000000whatever percent of students is disingenuous. No one should have to sit down and consider a risk assessment for sending their kids to school.

A kill box in every classroom doesn't solve poo poo but it sure it fun to laugh at on the internet so it's hard to say if it's good or bad.

What insanity did I miss where we're terrified of people knocking on our doors or ringing the doorbell? Pretty sure in 2023 using the button that you installed to notify you of people at your door is still the best way for someone at your door to notify you that they're there.

YouTube and Facebook rabbit holes specially designed to keep you scrolling by offering you more and more extreme conspiracy theories such as “people will come to your front door and knock and act normal but they really want to kill your entire family” while serving your ads based on your demographic.

I suspect that one reason for our polling crisis is that the populace is now savvy enough and cynical enough to recognized that all of those questions are just "Do you support Trump, yes or no". That survey contradicts all the other surveys we've seen about the electoral viability of running on anti-woke BS. I suppose it's possible that republican primary voters are becoming fewer and are concentrating the hitler particles as they boil down, but I really do think it's just an artifact of people knowing what pollsters are really asking about.

or maybe there's a large portion of population that literally believes and feels exactly what is presented in the chart.

Rhyming George Floyd with Metroid is fantastic considering Floyd’s death was in 2020 and Metroid was released in the US 2 years before Billy Joel’s original version of the song.

They should have gone all the way and just referenced Billy Joel somewhere in there.

This kind of thing is endemic to academia. I know several American and Canadian scholars in the humanities who either have studied in Europe or research some aspect of European culture or history and end up affecting weird accents or mannerisms, usually some flavor of pseudo-British. It often comes from a deep-seated insecurity about being perceived as uncultured or unsophisticated.

I literally just a couple of months ago was talking to a grad student in my program who has a full-blown English accent and mentioned Canadian Thanksgiving. He responded that he hadn't been home for Thanksgiving in a long time and after seeing my obviously confused expression explained that he's Canadian, lived most of his life in Canada, but went to university in the UK and "just picked up the accent."

Faking an English accent is very much a cool thing to do with younger people these days.
