Note from a veteran police reporter: NAMING law officers who use lethal force under any and every circumstance IS NOT doxxing. It is journalism. Officers who invoke lethal force are ID'd publicly as a standard -- or were when we were a republic. Asdress, no. Name, rank, posting, etc. -- yes.

IIRC, if The Rapture really happens it’s honestly going to be great down here for a thousand years until everyone gets thrown into the lake of fire. A thousand years without these assholes! It’s actually a pretty good deal!

Multiple peer reviewed studies done by medical researchers indicate that Tylenol does not seem to be a cause of autism. But one heroin-addicted nepo baby says that it is. For pregnant mothers it can be hard to know who to trust.

Whether it’s Fox News’s Brian Kilmeade advocating killing homeless people by “involuntary lethal injection” or MSNBC’s Matthew Dowd bringing up things that Charlie Kirk said, both networks have crossed the boundaries of decency.

Whether it’s Russia launching a massive drone attack during a supposed ceasefire or Zelensky not wearing a suit to the White House, both sides are to blame for the unending war in Ukraine.

Catching up on recent movies and had a choice between NOSFERATU and A COMPLETE UNKNOWN, and decided to go with the movie about the vampire draining the life from everyone he meets. NOSFERATU will have to wait!

Normally a state dissolving like this is the result of a devastating war of invasion, I've never seen a world power dismantle itself because jet ski dealers were mad they heard people speaking Spanish in front of them at the Target checkout line.

Cannot count the number of articles that I've seen that act like Kennedy just didn't exist before his failed run for president. Like he didn't create and get rich of the modern anti-vaxx movement. Like he hasn't been slow walking us to this moment for two decades.

So here is the thing: You know how lottery winners often end up bankrupt because they have no idea how to handle so much money at once, and make all sorts of bad choices? Well, fame is a lottery win, except instead of money you suddenly get (relative) power and access. Guess how people do with it.

I really don't know how I get under the skin of so many babbling fucknuckles, I'm a wee pear-shaped dude who stands like a penguin and is about as threatening as a creme brulee, and yet there's an entire cadre of dudes who regularly feature me in their pissy little two-minute hates, it's a mystery

I think people going "just switch to [X]" when someone complains about something are 75% people trying to be helpful and 25% people being smug dicks, and in all cases should probably remember that most people don't want to switch anything, they just want the shit they have to work for them.

I mentioned in a Discord server that I was dreading trying to buy a new laptop this year because I didn't want a half-baked AI inside, and suddenly a dozen posts appeared urging me to switch to Linux.
