The shooter calls her a "fucking bitch" right after shooting her three times. He shot because he was pissed off, not because he reasonably believed he was in danger. Also, he is filming while handling his weapon at the same time?!? Was he even looking at where he was shooting?

People fatally shot by UK police in 2024/25: 2 People fatally shot by US law enforcement in 2025: 1280

"engage your core" what am I, a nuclear power plant? The earth? Do I look like an apple to you?

last christmas i buried your heart but the very next day, the beating remained this year, my paranoia and fear and madness will spur my confession

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

Texas chain saw massacre is full of plot holes... what happens to the victims when they die? is there an afterlife?

GOD: hi, welcome to heaven ME: thanks…is there any BOFA here? [30 seconds later] SATAN: hi, welcome to hell

It's over: I've already depicted you as the seething broad gauge train, and myself as the smug narrow gauge!

how much damage do you think godzilla would have done if he was human sized

Frankly it’s also reckless - you have growing numbers of people exhibiting delusional behaviour toward chatbots, and this straight up encourages it.

Q. Will there be email at the party? A. Yes. There will be an email station at my birthday party.

Counterculture and punk rock is when all of the richest companies in the world try to force you to use something

When people talk about how systemic and structural issues don't exist but the data all looks like this.

i think lou bega could have just counted for the entire song if he had just had the courage of his convictions

I once read a comment saying something like "if you choose not to laugh at farts, your life will contain less laughter but still the same amount of farts". I think about that a lot.

Interesting article on 'direct cremation' in yesterday;s Guardian www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

You’re sheltering bald JD Vance images on your phone, are you not?

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

LAPD out there like

So am I allowed to call these people Nazis yet or do I need to wait for Charlie to be able to grow a hitlerstache

Israeli military did not “intercept a ship.” The Israeli military did commit a violent act of piracy against a UK flagged vessel in Int’l waters as it fulfilled a legal right to reach Gaza & alleviate suffering, then abducted its crew & transported them by force to Israel under threat of execution.

most people own a broom, I think. but I don't want to make sweeping generalizations

it’s always two dumb bitches telling each other exactlyyyy

Times like these, I am reminded of a line from Edmund Burke: I hope they get every disease and die shitting.

Hoo heard the news about Sutton Hoo? We can now reveal that we found the entire base of the Bromeswell bucket intact during last year's Time Team excavation and following further investigation we now know it contained an early Anglo-Saxon cremation burial: buff.ly/91DezbT

Ballroom Blitz is the only song where the singer checks if the other band members are ready before the song starts. He makes every other singer look like a thoughtless pig

"I'd crusade if the new Pope asked me to" wow, cool. What if he asked you to love and protect immigrants

in the 1800s you could go to a den to get your daily opium fix. now I have to cram 50 poppy seed muffins into my mouth and outrun the Publix security guard

"New Video of Mahmoud Khalil’s Arrest Shows Trump Admin is Lying in Court" The new footage of ICE’s warrantless arrest shows the Palestinian student fully cooperated with federal agents and was not a flight risk, reports @premthakker.bsky.social

“The value of art is not how much it costs and how little effort it requires. It’s how much would you risk to be in its presence.” - @realgdt.bsky.social, regarding AI

I could be wrong about this but I really think most Americans do not want to be forced to “do their own research” about food & drug & product safety and would rather that the government agencies that have been sorting that all out for them for decades not be obliterated in the name of “efficiency.”

what even is the end goal here. just spreading the stupidest lies imaginable in the hopes of…letting children die? making families suffer?

There is no aborted fetus debris in the MMR vaccine, or in any vaccine at all. It is worth noting that the Catholic Church, one of the most staunch anti-abortion organizations in the world, has a formal policy that encourages all vaccinations.

Every day the news is like “Trump has canceled the Federal program that prevents orphans from being shot to death by chainguns, it cost $20,000 a year and saves five orphans a day” and I’m like “oh that doesn’t sound good at all”

clearly he’s got too much yellow bile

A calculator that costs 1 trillion dollars, but it’s also wrong

Is the consensus among mainstream journalists that the White House slandering a man they delivered into slavery using a crudely manipulated photo in the president’s grasp in the Oval Office is just not a very newsworthy event?

Someone on here stated AI was good for editing and proofreading. I didn't feel like arguing at the time, but, ah, no. No, it isn't. Fuckin' MS Word still gets shit wrong and they've been working on that for almost as long as I've been alive

"why not use [language model] for this" well you see I take some amount of pride in having stuff to say that can't be predicted by a statistical estimate

Fun fact: several research projects from the early/mid-19th century and on undertook the hypothesis that white people had superior intelligence based on their cranial capacity/ brain size. They all failed miserably. Eugenics has been proved as utter junk since at least the 1840s. Cop on.
