Is it not well known that the parts of Gein's sexual motive that inspired Buffalo Bill was the invention of the officer who interrogated him? It's a textbook example of how interrogators can get a suspect, especially a delusional one, to confirm any wild theory they have simply by feeding it to them

"Some legal experts have called it a crime to burn moisture farmers alive, even if they are believed to be smuggling the Death Star plans."

Matt Cameron @mattcameron.bsky.social · 8d

hey @nytimes.com: there is no counterpoint here. There are no credible legal experts who would EVER say that the US military has any right or authority to blow civilian craft out of the Caribbean and kill their crews from afar without any provocation. There is no other side to this question.

"Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians not directly taking part in hostilities, even if they are believed to be smuggling drugs."

I like Jimmy Kimmel. I really do. I have no issues with him.

I'm talking about something very different.

Kimmel was only suspended. But he's back now. Karen Attiah and all the other Black journalists are still fired.

Y'all do know how to fight, when you want to.

But you don't really want to. 🤷🏿‍♂️

McBride doesn't feel a responsibility to the trans community because she doesn't view us as her own community. Her community is an economic class of the wealthy and powerful.

There's no reason for us to see her as one of us when she doesn't see herself that way either.
