I have “hoarder” in my blood, and every day is a struggle to just throw things away and fight the urge of “that might be useful one day”.

How do you all feel about Reuters, Associated Press, National Public Radio and BBC

Recommend them all. They’re pretty unbiased and highly credible. I’m also a monthly donor to NPR :)

I tend to just stick to the wire services (Reuters, AP) and fill in with NPR/BBC and some local news stations that aren’t owned by Sinclair. I tend to avoid any and all that have clear bias or try to appeal to emotion. I just want the verified facts.

For topics related to technology and privacy, TechDirt is pretty solid. They don’t pull punches and are very well researched.

I’ll edit this comment if I think of any more specific ones.

We need people that will safeguard certain lines that may not be crossed.

Exactly.

“We finally won.”

What did it cost?

“Our humanity”

If people are so willing to cross those lines, what are we even doing or trying to uphold?

I do both, but mostly the tea is just to stretch out the coffee supply. e.g. Instead of making a second up of coffee, I’ll make tea instead.

Every time I grab it from the cabinet lol.

Goes good with cham-pag-ney.

I’m happy he’s not spewing hate anymore. However, I abhor (and denounce) how that came to pass and remain genuinely disgusted at the sick, bloodthirsty mob social media turns into when shit like this happens (or attempted happens).

I am very much not an “ends justify the means” kind of person and firmly believe that kind of logic is extremely dangerous.

How does this make me feel? Well, disgusted. Disgusted that there’s more gun violence in the world, disgusted that people are cheering it on, and disgusted with pretty much everyone’s knee-jerk takes on the matter. I can forgive celebrating his passing as dark humor / gallows humor. I can even understand laughing at the schadenfreude due to the guy’s stance on exactly this kind of thing. But for people to be praising the suspect or calling for more is firmly crossing the line into psychopath territory.

Again, the ends do not justify the means.

I can feel in my bones that the other shoe is about to drop, and all these people salivating over the bloodshed are not going to be happy when it does. Violence only begets more violence, and people need to understand that and not be cheering it on.

Angry motorcycle guys, a chair thrown.

Geordi, in the bottom-left pane.

These are the shitposts I live for. Not the shit that should be in the political memes community. Thank you!

Apparently Seth MacFarlane asked himself the same question because in The Orville, exactly that happens.

Or maybe the orgy resulted in a holodeck malfunction? I gotta re-watch.

Charlie Kirk. Kirk, 31, was the CEO…

He was only 31?

Geezus. Hate really does age you. I’m over 10 years his senior, and he looks 5 years older than me. And for once, this isn’t a humble-brag.

I mean, I wouldn’t say “don’t celebrate it” but just because someone else is a piece of shit isn’t a blank check for you* to be a piece of shit.

*Collective “you”

But I’m not going to spare him any empathy either

Me either. I’m not even sad he’s (apparently) no longer among us. I just get disgusted with everyone who’s calling for violence left and right (metaphorically and politically).

Might be a bit premature. I’m gonna hold off until someone whose brain isn’t a pile of mush and who isn’t a pathological liar confirms it.

Can you and jawa21 team up and dub whole episodes of Trek (dealer’s choice) with audio/dialog from The Golden Girls? I didn’t know that was something I needed in my life.

Also, I have never seen TGG but you have made me add it to my watch list.

But if someone’s gonna make some wisecrack comment celebrating/endorsing acts of violence, they should definitely watch it to see the sick reality of what they’re celebrating.

Kirk is (was?) a piece of shit, but the armchair judges, juries, and wannabe executioners around here need a reality check.

How’s this?

“No, Chicago salt trucks are not being used to interfere with ICE 😉”

But then…you sound like…William…Shatner…and I’m not…sure…if that is any…better.
