Another second amendment patriot successfully defends himself from....a brown person who knocked on the wrong door
You'd think that. And there have been convictions of folks who shot someone just for turning onto their driveway or knocking at their door. But these stupid fucking "stand your ground" laws have just emboldened WAY too many people, and set up a fucked up value system: everything and everyone is an immediate threat, and shoot shoot shoot shoot, that's the only rational response to every "threat." Set up a fucked up calculus, get fucked up results.

Another second amendment patriot successfully defends himself from....a brown person who knocked on the wrong door
It should. But "stand your ground" laws are pretty fucking aggressive the other way. I mean, they should be re-titled "gutless fucking coward who wants to shoot first and think later" laws, but the fact remains the bar is just barely higher than "I decided I was scared, and that's enough -- I have a perfect defense."

Another second amendment patriot successfully defends himself from....a brown person who knocked on the wrong door
I don't know where this goes. We've had stories like this before -- guy shot a kid on his porch in KC, guy murdered someone who turned around in his driveway in Hays county (I think that's where it was), etc. Well, now, a super brave second amendment patriot successfully executed a....chubby hispanic housekeeper who knocked on his door at the wrong address. https://www.kvue.com/article/news/nation-world/family-demands-justice-for-cleaning-crew-worker-fatally-shot-after-arriving-at-wrong-home/507-cebaf9ca-3de5-4cac-a83e-938e970a49d6?tbref=hp Between our culture's absolute fetishization and worship of guns, to the point where you're a commie pussy if you DON'T use one, to most of our media feeding constant scary shit to whites and olds especially ("they're coming for you! Venezuelan gangs! MS-13! THEY'RE RIGHT OUTSIDE, RIGHT NOW!), to the open demonization of all browns....shit like this happening, and continuing to happen, is inevitable. So, thank God this homeowner protected himself from this dirty brown terrorist gang member intent on raping him with fentanyl! Gosh, I'm amazed he could pull off the task of.....shooting her through his closed door.....being how hard he had to have been shaking from such a fearsome attacker.

Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
Seeing the approval of an insane compensation package for Elon at Tesla, it's shades of this: Because this shows that there actually is no "Tesla," just a brand called "Elon." Here's a nice little exercise: imagine that Elon OD's on ketamine tomorrow and dies. .... .... Yeah, I know, it's nice to think about. But anyway, imagine that. What happens to Tesla's stock price? Because it's not based on "their cars are great." It's not based on "sales are going up." Nope. It's based entirely on....."Elon is the CEO." Owners of Tesla stock don't have stock in Tesla, they have stock in Elon. Which is in turn, really just stock in "the image and persona of Elon that Elon has managed to sell." The moment that goes away -- and death will do that to a personal brand -- what the fuck is propping up the stock price? Nothing. So....

Trump’s America
"Jobs have grown bigly. At numbers the likes of which no one has ever seen before. There have never been more jobs. 'Jobs' - that's a word not many people know, but it's becoming more and more common. I brought that word back, 'jobs.' Sleepy Joe couldn't do it. The election was stollen."

ICE activity/raids
There are always kapos and Judenräte. Collaborate with the oppressor to buy yourself favor, power, and time. But in the end....the oppressor always comes for you too. You actually bought yourself nothing except a little bit of time. And all it cost you was your soul.

Will UT Bend the Knee?
It won't go STRAIGHT to Trump. It will pass through an entity/project or two. But yes, it WILL eventually end up in Trump's pockets.

Trump’s America
So, so, SO much this. And it sure as shit is complicated. As in, European migrants didn't exactly arrive on empty, unoccupied land. But arrive they did. And I think of the courage, the passion, all the things that were kicking around as they did so. I've linked to this song before, because it fucking WRECKS me: Leaving behind all you ever knew, all you ever were, crossing an ocean to make a new life and a better future. Knowing that you might never return to the land of your birth. Fucking hell. And yeah, that mobility has been a key to American success. African American migration from the south to the cities of the north. The Dust Bowl migrations. The people fleeing the rust belt as it collapsed in the 70s-80s (Houston was full of 'em). Our AMERICAN story is written by people who bravely moved forward, to new places, and made them their own. And in the process, enriching them. The trade that is human migration is ultimately a mutually beneficial one. And fucking this. Seriously. 20 years ago, the Economist was basic kitchen-table stuff for most Republican voters. They'd read positions in there like "tariffs are generally a shitty thing," and "racism and anti-semitism are poison," and genuinely nod along. Today? They LITERALLY call the Economist a "liberal rag," as it says.....exactly the same things it said 20 years ago. They are in the thrall of a cult, and I hate every last one of them.

ChatGPT AI Tool— We all work for robots now
Meh. That’s normal, and a perfect example of the ethics of the AI industry as a whole. Get used to a LOT more of it. Money has value. Power and control have value. Humanity has no value. Shit, probably negative value. And we’re elevating that worldview more every day.

Tariff wars, they have began
I mean, we're so deeply in the "just comical fucking insane lies" stage of this presidency. A presidency that has almost 39 more months to go.

Kind of shocked that perhaps the greatest medical mind in the modern era didn't stay and help. Maybe he ran off to fetch some whale juice and ivermectin.

I for one welcome our new AI overlords
Ahh yes. "Too Big to Fail II: Fucking the American People Up the Ass Again Boogaloo." Worked out brilliantly last time. Fortunately, this time around, we've got a government that has acted with fiscal restraint so there's some tools in the toolbox to address the coming collapse, and we have wise, steady hands at the wheel. What's that? We have literally none of that? We burned most of our tools with unnecessary and burdensome tax cuts, and the guys at the wheel are these guys? Well. That's sobering.

Government Shutdown 2025: This Time It’s Personal
I don't want it over. There's only two ways this should go: 1) It ends because the Guardians Of Pedophiles give in, and restore the ACA subsidy so working Americans can have health care, or 2) the Guardians of Pedophiles stand fast, say "fuck you" to working Americans, the shutdown continues, and the pain spreads and multiplies. Most of "we the people" learn only by experiencing personal pain. Well, school's in session.

Papers, please. Surly thread of deportation cruelty dominance
Oh....we the taxpayers will face lots of repercussions. The section 1983 suits against these fuckers are approaching "it's a laydown" quality. Lots of judgments coming plaintiffs' way. Hard to argue the defense of qualified immunity (which has to be based on "there was no clearly established law prohibiting what I did") when.....there was an actual, specific injunction....against you....prohibiting you from doing what you did. Even the 5th Circuit would let that judgment stand.
