I have upsetting news

New Orleans… AL?

The Columbine massacre was on this date in 1999. Instead of energizing our country to get gun violence under control, it kicked off a new normal. One of the best explanations ever of journalism's destructive impact on mass shootings came from Roger Ebert in his review of Gus Van Sant’s “Elephant.”

Fun fact: two molecules in your coffee this morning remembered each other from OJ Simpson

The Infowars news is funny, yes. But more importantly, it is an outright rebuke of Alex Jones' evil.

It's testament to the strength and resilience of the Sandy Hook families who survived this bullshit for more than a decade as well as the Onion, which didn't give up on this for the last 18 months.

It’s been an aggressively shitty week for me personally but I had a good time at No Kings a couple weeks ago!

The “Calvin’s dad explains two types” meme, inspired by a Calvin and Hobbes cartoon. Clockwise from top left: 1) Calvin’s dad walks into frame to find Calvin trying to operate a record player. The dad says: “There are only two industries left in America: gambling, and fraud.” 2) The dad shows where the record goes, and how to turn on the player, while Calvin watches. Dad says “Derivatives? Gambling. AI? Fraud. Video games? Gambling. Social media? Fraud.” Calvin says “yeah”. 3) With one hand open palm up, Calvin’s dad cheerfully explains to Calvin out of frame below him, “The stock market looks like gambling, but it’s actually fraud.” 4) In bed in a dark room, Calvin clutches at his pillow, eyes wide in existential terror. There is no text in the panel.

Looks like there’s now a tornado warning for Miami County for a confirmed tornado on the ground south of Spring Hill. Bryan Busby’s live on KMBC if you want to stream it on their website.

We didn't clear house following Reconstruction or following the Civil Rights Movement and we absolutely have to do it next time.

Time for the birth of terror. Me

a criminal conviction isn’t required to say someone does not have the moral character to run for office and i don’t understand why this needs to be said over and over and over again.

Europe : and u want to hold it in the Hague

Rubio : yes why

Europe : no reason

My step-dad died of pancreatic cancer. It was brutal and I’d do anything to prevent another family from having to go through it. Livid.
