But John Ross *knows* he’s in no danger from the vehicle because it’s curving away from him. If he thought he was in any danger all he had to do was move back from the car, which he doesn’t. He draws his weapon, plants his back foot, leans *forward* and then fires.

John Ross was 100% in control of his safety; he shot defending his ego.

A quick search on their site didn't reveal similar stats for all-cause mortality. Are any numbers available on how that's doing? (The number of people who are long-term disabled in one form or another would also be interesting to know.)

The problem with having to send a computer in for service is it’s not really possible to be without it for a week+. A tip if you wind up buying new (and then selling the old one when it’s back): refurb store is discounted enough to pay for extended applecare for years. www.apple.com/ca/shop/prod...

(The judgment did not use someone's spoken land acknowledgement as evidence for the ruling.)

He seems to be getting the cause/effect backwards. Both the judge's decision and the land acknowledgment are based on the existing (heretofore broken) treaties/titles.

"The fee-simple titles were established on the lands claimed by the Cowichan between 1871 and 1914"

Tedros seemed to know. (Yes he later said he was using the military term "airborne" as if this made any sense in this context.)

Supremacy wants to gain all the benefits of society without paying any natural costs, like fair competition.

This response to even the slightest leveling of the playing field demonstrates how committed to the supremacist notion we white folk still are.

Imagine if we ever experienced true equality.

“Hmm... Maybe having an actual burning cross will scare away the normies."

"Hey ChatGPT: Can you just make the cross glow and put the fire *near* the cross?"

"Now it looks like it's the people that are burning."

"Meh, go with it."

I didn't mean to suggest *you* made that choice. But the reporting (everywhere) consistently chooses a past-tense framing. (Which is particularly odd because even gov't official stats has it as a present concern, but that info is never promoted.)

I totally appreciate any fight won on any front! :-)

*Sigh* Always phrased like the damage was done then, but it's now gone. It would be nice to see:

“As COVID-19 continues to re-infect the population, an increasing number of people are having to live with weakened immune systems...”

(But yes: Thanks for fighting for clean air, esp. in schools!)
