Some time ago, I might have cared more. But now, the only reason I care about someone shooting Kirk, is the inevitable backlash. Of course, it would always be something. Trump and his ilk are always looking for an excuse. If not this, it would be something else.
We lost the vote in the Senate to reveal the Epstein files. All but 2 GOP Senators voted to keep them hidden.

Is anyone suing in regard to illegal firing of inspectors general?
After centralizing power within the government around one authority, in this case the presidency, the next step in establishing fascism is to extend that authority into every neighborhood. Gestapo on your corner.
Assad was bad, truly awful. But, I want to remind everyone that among the leaders of 12 factions opposing him, few agree on the best course for Syria and several desperately seek to restore the caliphate (religious rule) in Syria and the world.

Just found out that my favorite pizza place supported Trump. I guess I need a new pizza place. #boycotttrumpsters
After years, decades maybe, I am thinking of switching from gcc and g++ to clang and clang++. Clang compiles faster, produces well-optimized code, and most importantly, offers concise errors and warnings. Gcc hands me paragraphs for every warning and misses some, clang usefully caught.
Two of the founding groups of progressive rock listed their lyricists, who played no instruments nor sang, as members of the band, Procol Harum and King Crimson.
