This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites.

So we have two immigrant heroes. One in Australia who helped disarm one of the shooters and one in the US who helped track down the Brown U shooter. When a man stabbed several people in the UK, it was also an immigrant who disarmed him.
Weird that the Far Right keeps vilifying immigrants.

How, in all this time, has only Johnny Marr been able to play guitar like Johnny Marr? Like a rock & roll ukulele. I need more.

Alt: Johnny Marr plays a red electric guitar on a stage in a dark room. It looks like the 80s. At least I certainly hope this is Johnny Marr, or else I would feel quite foolish.

Remembering that time they sliced a baby out of me around 11am and by 4pm I was concerned that I hadn't done anything productive all day. Was it the morphine or the capatalism talking? We'll never know.

I'm "my hips ache under the atmospheric river" years old. Not a euphamism; just middle-aged living in King County.

I called my Rep, Kim Schrier WA-8, to state my concern that during a time that medicare, social security, public land, the NEA, & public health including the ACA are all under attack, she felt it was the right time to condemn socialism rather than fascism...

If Schumer votes AGAINST this but enough Ds vote FOR it that it passes, he needs to RESIGN immediately.
He will have shown himself to be absolutely ineffective as a minority leader. He has to go.
Literally resign tonight.

I think the coolest thing you can do right now is live with integrity and care about the people around you, not just your friends and family but your community. Deny the lie they want you to believe, that taking as much as you can while giving nothing back is the goal.

From Wired a few weeks ago. A lot of the people who I was told for years were the adults in the room are being asked how they want to be remembered, and that answer is very clearly "cowards."
