I guess they're planning on bombing US citizens now.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

These people are the kinds of people that would take three slices of pizza at the pizza party because there might not be enough for them to get seconds, causing some to not get any.

I'd you are the kind of person who drives an EV and parks in EV charging parking, even when you aren't charging, you should have your car towed.

In the year of Betty White 2025, we should have learned by now that just because you can have separate objects for the primary key and clustered key doesn't mean you should.

Fox and Newsmax are showing the Charlie Kirk thing. That's not shocking, but C-SPAN is as well?

This is simply a case of a patriotic student informing her administration that a Professor had violated the Führerprinzip

Peter Sagal @petersagal.bsky.social · 29d

If you click through to the video, you’ll hear a young woman repeatedly telling a college professor that President Trump has declared that what the Professor had been teaching is illegal and she’ll be meeting with the head of the university about it.

It’s chilling and scary.

Feer mongering is why people don't understand that the murder rate is way down nationwide.

Jeff Asher @jeffasher.bsky.social · Jul 30

This @today.yougov.com poll is why I'm going to become the Joker.

The US murder rate in 2024 was likely down nearly 30 percent relative to 2020 and down nearly 50 percent relative to 1990.
