That’s true. I lived in Utah, so I know.

The thing is though, I’ve never met a Mormon more extreme than that hateful kid Charlie Kirk. He wasn’t a republican, he was a full-on MAGA of the most extreme right-wing variety, so I can’t really conceive of anybody even more extreme than him who might think he didn’t go far enough to the right enough to gun him down.

But hey, anything is possible in this nauseating world of extremist morons I guess…

Okay, I admit I’m ignorant of modern internet and gaming lore.

But what do you make of the fact that he shot a fucking fascist? That’s not a video game reference now, is it?

The kid reportedly left a bullet casing with “Hey fascist! Catch!” engraved on it, and he killed a fascist.

I don’t really know what kind of nuance you want me to display here. It’s pretty black and white: the kid was 200% antifa and the checklist is factually wrong.

This must be malware! This test also works without downloading any app - or indeed without a phone.

No… Really?!?

Now that comes as a total surprise. Color me shocked!

I’m pretty sure he has no great love for fascists.

The checklist is cute but it’s wrong.

Yeess… I’m sure Kash Patel will blend right in with all the other nordic warriors.

Hella confusing title, which can read as Microsoft adds malicious warnings to links sent in private Teams chats. Plausible… It’s Microsoft.

That’s how I read it.

But no: it’s Microsoft adding warnings against malicious links, rather.

The United States.

Patel and his deputy, Dan Bongino, relayed that they were under immense pressure to succeed and prove that they were capable of conducting a manhunt. As it turns out, they were not.

Turns out, having a podcast doesn’t make you a competent cop. Who knew…

While those engravings are plausible, I will point out that I don’t fully trust the cops or that republican Governor - and certainly not the FBI - not to be fabricating evidence to enable Trump to pin the murder on his political enemies.

I just seems too convenient that those casings with those engravings should be found mere hours after Trump said the left owns the murder because they compared Charlie Kirk to the Nazis. It smells made up from a mile away.

Yeah it’s plausible. It’s just that you can’t trust anything any part of the US administration says is true and impartial anymore, is my point.

According to AP, there were messages engraved on the casings in the Kirk shooting.

Careful there. That’s not according to the AP, that’s ultimately according to the FBI. And if you think Kash Patel and his yes-men are above fabricating evidence to enable Trump to pin the murder on the woke-DEI-LGBT-left-whatever, I have a bridge to sell you.

I’ll believe it when I see it, and not with a missing minute in the video.

“American comeback” indeed…

Young Thug Apologizes to Rappers in New Song for Leaked Prison Convos

I can’t convey how totally alien and intensely uninteresting all the words in this sentence feel to me.

If you have any doubt Charlie Kirk was the most vile piece of shit: Netanyahu, a genocidal war criminal and foreign leader who shouldn’t give a fraction of a shit about a US conservative pundit, can’t stop talking about him.

And of course, the other vile pieces of shit Trump, Vance and the entire nauseating MAGA world are all atwitter about Kirk.

The global Nazisphere is really fired up about this stupid kid’s murder.

I never though I’d say I wish COVID did a better job…

I believe he’s trying to backpedal on that one, is my point.

Well, it’s not final. I remember a time - in Belgium I think - when a utility vehicle was defined as having no backseats for passengers. Scores of people registered Porsches and other obviously passenger cars with the backseats removed as tax-exempt minivans.

Belgium put a stop to that and suddenly, all those backseat-less sportscars got taxed like they ought to be. Just like that, retroactively.

The same thing can happen with your vroom-vroom-loving neighbor very quickly.

They do. But that’s not a reason so take advantage of people in need - which is the pharma industry’s business model where healthcare costs aren’t regulated like in the US.

The pharma industry is in this very unhealthy position of making a profit from people who desperately need their wares. Exactly like plumbers on a weekend: the pharma industry can - and will, left to their own device - charge you any insane amount they want for your treatment that keeps you alive, like a plumber will charge you any insane amount to fix that leak before the whole living room is flooded.

That’s why it desperately needs to be regulated. If a Big Pharma exec thinks it’s tough to turn a profit in a country, that country is doing its job correctly.
