Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying. They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks. From WCVB: youtu.be/PuFIs7OkzYY

The attack on DEI shows why liberals should stop arguing about "strategic" use of language forever. DEI stands for three uncontroversial virtues that most every American accepts, and the right still turned it into a vile slur. It doesn't matter what you say - they will poison it because YOU said it.

Whether it’s Ronald Reagan conspiring with Iranian Ayatollahs to delay the hostage release until after Carter’s defeat or Donald Trump conspiring with Netanyahu to delay a ceasefire agreement until after Biden’s defeat, Republican presidential candidates….

If they're trying to get people to stop treating Mangione like a folk hero, photographing him like he was brought in by Batman and could break his handcuffs and escape at anytime is not how you do that.

The alleged ceo shooter is called Luigi Mangione so I'm predicting a lot of stupid comments about the Godfather and the Sopranos to start circulating. I'm also half expecting the right wing pundits to start trying to throw Italian-Americans out of the White People club.

The Venn Diagram of people upset at the response to what happened to the UHC CEO and people who have unironically said we need to go Frank Castle on street crime is very close to a circle.

UnitedHealthcare Group had a profit of $32.36 billion last year by the way. Profit. For context the budget of the government of Bulgaria was $32.47 billion. Some have estimated that you could end world hunger for around $25 billion a year.

Obviously we shouldn't condone murder, but if this is what it takes to get people to realize that Insurance Company executives are one of the biggest causes of death in this country then I'm not going to lose any sleep over it either.

If an alien asked about Black Friday and good Friday, and you explained that one is about remembering the maryrdom of a religious leader and the other is about getting bargains they would be very confused by which is which.

Aspiring to the sheer moxie of the cashier who was having a conversation on speaker phone while ringing me up and who's responce to my concern she might get in trouble was, "My call doesn't have anything to do with what you're buying."

*Deep sigh* Maybe this coming economic collapse will be the one where money becomes worthless and I can fulfill my true purpose of hustling board games and singing bawdy Ren Faire songs in exchange for scavenged canned goods.

You are up to date.
