Tyre Nichols beaten to death by 5 Memphis police officers
it hit the news today? today is the first you are hearing of this? i mean, that's okay, apparently some white dude murdered his family and now it's all over the news and i have no idea what the hell is going on with that. we all get busy and miss the news cycle, but this has been talked about all fucking week.

same but I'll watch. those people in blue are paid by taxpayers. i owe it to the deceased. i must face it, like looking at older lynching pictures.

i love how part of the conversation is centered around more training. i don't really need it security training at work but they make me take a 20 minute course everyone has to take annually. my boss's boss's boss has no idea who i am, what i do, or how much revenue i am responsible for bringing in annually but they sure as fuck know when I'm late with that stupid training. i don't think i need training on how not to beat someone to death though. this isn't deescalation issues. they beat this man to death. DEATH. more training my ass

Classified Documents...
i don't know how this topic doesn't go full cloak room, but godspeed to all of you. i happen to fall in the side of "way too much shit is classified, and why is it so fucking portable?" fuck, i can't even save a word doc on a usb drive here at work. yet we have former and current officials just running around with classified shit. it's like corporations where they tell you not to work in a public space, but your boss has you on a deadline, and i doubt anyone in the airport bar is really looking at my screen, so i'll just do some work on the database here. except, you know, this is national security not some data about something or other else.

my logic at the time made sense to me. get a third party to a reasonable % of the vote so they qualify for federal funding and hillary wasn't winning texas anyways. now, i'm probably middle finger to the republicans at all times including voting for anyone running against them. they are the biggest threat to our democracy right now, foreign or domestic.- Abbott being Abbott
i don't mind small time investment rental properties. hell, i'd love to have the headaches of a small time landlord as someone buys me a house. i dont know where the line is but 10 properties feels about right. i could be argued off that number to another. but at some point, when we are talking affordable housing, we also need to talk about local ownership. i don't have the solution, but corporate cash buyers are fucking this market sideways.- Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Body in Congress?

it's all those people who didn't vote for dotard but somehow ended up defending everything he and the republican party tried to do during his shit administration. what a wasted four fucking years that was. fucking christ. good job gary johnson voters! from the actual gary johnson voter who wishes he could go back and vote for clinton. ain't none of yall supposed gary johnson voters willing to admit that, are you?- Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
we should always worry about young dudes without dates, as jeff ward says. though he usually uses "shirtless dudes" he's not far off. these men are the causers of chaos and violence for about forever.- New GOP Congressman's entire resume is faked
let's be fair to ole lindsay though. he made it about as openly as a southern conservative gay man could in a certain time and place. now, why he chooses to be republican, absolutely go after him for that. i'll never understand log cabin republicans (or their name, why yall gotta be gross?) or anyone who supports republicans anymore, really. but lindsay is a confirmed bachelor and in the south, errybody knows what that means- Dear LastPass, Kill Yourself!
right there with you. my password is pretty good. but the key to a good password is the length, not the fucking confusing ass special characters. those worked when we were limited to x number of characters for a password. if i write four random words that occur to me as i look around my office: paper battery godfather barometer crack that password, shitheads. xkcd hipped me to this years back:- Active shooter thread
who asked you to do that?- Active shooter thread
yeah, that is where the discussion begins. but you just fucking pigeonholed it straightaway into some bullshit villain for you to argue against. you see that, right? that said, i guess, let me ask you a direct question: do you think we should have any further regulation in order to stop mass shootings?- Fat People

pasta is the first dish. and it's appetizer sized. in america, these are single serving pastas from olive garden: when you're there, you're family! except nobody eats family style. each of those pasta dishes would feed a family of 5 in italy. bread is everywhere in europe, but they do lack the high fructose corn syrup crap. also, they eat real food in europe. had a chicken in europe? it tastes like a chicken, not canned water based meat. cheese in europe? it's actually cheese from europe. it's fucking delicious. but you don't really eat that much. it isn't really until they come to america that italians generally get fat.- Active shooter thread
when is? in your estimation, when should the poilitical conversation about the epidemic of gun violence begin?- Active shooter thread
it's not all or nothing, nor is that what gandorf is insinuating. matter of fact, most of us recognize it's not all or nothing. we have a half dozen firearms in this household. my son is very much into shooting. but that doesn't mean we must have them in our household if that means hundreds of americans die every year in shootings. i'd give those guns up right fucking now if it meant uvalde didn't happen or any of the other terrible shootings that are largely committed by legal firearms in this country. there's a point, when something legal is very bad for us, we should maybe think about regulating it. leaded gas? lead in paint? lead pipes? lead at all? we got rid of it because it's very bad for us to ingest lead. while that seems like a lead pun, it's not intended as such. but it was a case of us looking critically at a thing that was bad for us and said to us "hey, us, let's not do that bad thing anymore, it's bad for us" and we stopped. that's going to happen with guns, permanently and without your contribution if this shit continues. gun owners need to be out front owning this topic and this conversation and this narrative, because gun safety is the fucking cornerstone of responsible gun ownership. why are they not?- New GOP Congressman's entire resume is faked
so I'm not a member of the community but I'd bet my mortgage he is not winning over drag queens with a twitter battle. but members of the drag community tend to be cantankerous and rebellious (can i say bitchy?) so i don't doubt that there are a few loling at him.- Why won’t we fight misinformation, teach critical thinking skills?
this is a topic i care about quite a bit, as you know, but i will find it interesting in the new paradigm. you know what i do and what i cover, and how fucking interesting it has been with covid affecting everyone, which has caused all kinds of branches of innovation that we might have been already there but unable to previously flower. we're doing all sorts of shit from home, and learning is the next horizon. i'll be especially interested in how public schools innovate, because it has become more than clear to me than ever that daily education, and hell, the daily fucking workday, is simply a model based around childcare. that's it. it might have started as something different, but i don't really think so. however, my kids have learned all kinds of shit in school. however, we've had a situation that we're dealing with my youngest where he just cannot go to high school. yet he's somehow pulling a b in some classes? so it's clear that school is about more than what is being taught in the classroom. this sounds stupid, but think about harry potter. yeah, the setting is the school but almost nothing happens in the classroom. sure, it's used for a demo or two, but all their major learning is done through real world application. that's the model i think we need to see evolve. practical education that prizes, oh, i don't know, education over behavior and attendance and sitting in your desk for x amount of minutes being quiet. kids today simply are not inured to a world of quiet, and guess what? that's fucking okay, because neither are adults. they need to learn to operate in this noisy world somehow. they need to learn with screens and an online world. when i was in school you'd get in trouble for looking things up on the internet. now that seems fucking crazy. if it's on the internet, 9 times out of 10, with actual factual things, it's true. i tell my kids to google stuff all the time. fuck a dictionary or an encyclopedia. they don't need to waste time with those skills. but it also comes with helping kids to develop a meaningful bullshit filter, and i think it is working. even older teachers are pretty fucking hip to what the kids are into these days. if we could just catch up education from the 18th century, it would be great.- Why won’t we fight misinformation, teach critical thinking skills?
because the unwashed masses have been useful tools for all people in power forever. until they aren;t and they kill all the people in power. then they become the people in power and find the unwashed masses useful tools once again.- Atlanta Protests (some violence)
for sure. and it's used by extremists. i think i even used to use it when i would reference certain left wing views in the past. but it is used to make an "others" to castigate. it's extremist behavior, but not by itself, i reckon. - Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Body in Congress?
