every time there’s another school shooting, i think about how these kids are better than we are, and we make them go to school at death factories because the adults couldn’t get basic governing together at any point in recent decades

I've been thinking a lot about the limits of what amends can accomplish and how much we truly leave behind as we grow. A lot of that is entangled with the SA forums because, well, I'm 40 and online.

(TW: death, cremation)

We went into the crematorium, and he opened the cremator and pulled this metal slab out and I remember thinking, stupid as I was, that the ash in the air had once been a person.

Anyway. I rather think Bradbury is right. I’d like to explode at the end.

Hey alumni of Harvard Law School, some guy is out here wiping his ass with your diploma.
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), to reporters, after viewing video footage of the U.S. strikes on alleged drug boats in the Caribbean on Sept. 2:

"Righteous strikes." "Entirely lawful."

Your take is unpopular because you are advocatingly plausible deniability in a transparently transphobic event and blaming the target. Sit with your biases here.

When they beat VT in 2024 it drove me crazy. QB left, QB right, QB up the middle, for 15 straight plays, just to set up a bomb down the seam.
Diego Pavia might be the single most irritating QB to face as a defender in college football history

Miller and his cabal of criminal toadies are turning us into a rogue nation whose foreign policy is guided not by the rule of law, or even national interest, but a lurid vision of society as a constant struggle between the white man and the subhuman races, against which all violence is permitted

nuzzi / lizza misconduct imo enabled the destruction of so much public health & scientific research — and a resurgence in measles in the US. this is not petty tabloid gossip or inside baseball. that they went undetected or were rewarded while great reporters were laid off? it’s a huge system failure

my defense secretary told me big nude guys keep shooting his troops so I asked how many troops he has and he said he just deploys more afterwards so I said it sounds like he's just feeding troops to nude gunmen and then he started crying

“U.S. Defense Secretary Hegseth says Trump has asked for 500 additional troops to be deployed to D.C. after the shooting.”

This is the kind of mistaken leap of logic that AI tends to make.
Ok NYT wut does the second sentence have to do w/ the first

“The shooting of two National Guard members on Wednesday was not the first time there was violence near the White House.

During World War II, a stranger slipped into the White House to watch a movie with President Franklin D. Roosevelt.”

ok ok ok "leading US university" hang on now
This is spot-on.

The UVA "deal" might be the worst/most dangerous (so far). With the help of UVA's leadership, Trump coerced a leading U.S. university to foreswear all efforts (including 100% lawful measures) to achieve diversity.

A betrayal of our values.
