- I don’t understand. we banned TikTok but the kids still think ethnic cleansing is bad. time to send in the cops I guess. I’m a liberal
- US police are trained to maximize control over situations while minimizing their personal risk. that translates into beating parents while a rampage shooter executes their children just as easily as it does their rolling up on a kid with a toy guy and executing him seconds later
- good morning! the radio release of Radiohead's "Creep" is closer to the assassination of John F Kennedy than it it is to today. Yes, that's right, time is relentless and we're all slouching inexorably towards death! 👍
- oh so you want to abolish the police, smart guy? who you gonna call next time you need four assholes with pensions and overtime to shoot up a subway car in pursuit of a $2.90 fare jumper then, eh? think about that, buddy
- When El Paso happened I did a bunch of interviews where I read people segments of the shooter's manifesto alongside lines from David Frum's "How Much Immigration Is Too Much?" Atlantic cover feature and asked them if they could tell them apart. Nobody could; those bits didn't air
- Biden won the last election! Bernie wasn’t the nominee! your guy has been in government for four years! you had a majority in both the senate and the house! own your own shit for onceTo all you 2016 Bernie-Or-Busters, Welcome to Bust. Well done.
- From a brilliant professor friend: "I had a student apologize for turning in something late because they didn’t know it was Friday. I didn’t know it was Friday either, so I just responded, “What is time?” and gave them an A."
- I would really like people to confront the fact that when a mass shooter turns out to have had a lengthy history of threats, domestic violence, encounters with police, etc what that reflects is not a loophole, bug, or incidental oversight, but a fundamental feature of the system
- Look, let's be real. The ultimate reason the economy "must" "reopen" is so that we everyone can once more be individually blamed for their own unemployment, desperation, etc in this coming depression. It is fundamentally dangerous to our system to have masses of people 1/2
- mid-00's tired: Vote or Die! early-20's wired: Vote and Die
- (whispers) if Trump really wants to catch whoever wrote that NYT Op-Ed he should just wait and fire whoever cashes a check for $150 that comes in six months
- imagine being in a country of 100,00 COVID fatalities that is dead set on "reopening," where millions of unemployed are left to starve while corporations get handouts, and where police commit murders in broad daylight, and then seeing a burning car and saying "this is nihilism"Brian Williams, while MSNBC shows a car on fire in L.A.: "This is going from a protest movement to something closer to nihilism, it seems to me."
- oh so you want to Abolish The Police? next time there's a mass shooting, who's gonna arrest a random bystander in a scary shirt that says "palestine"? have you considered that, eh?
