They made bad decisions. They are bad parents, because they failed the most basic test of parenthood: they repeatedly failed to protect their children when they had the opportunity to do so, out of ignorance and delusion. They should be ashamed of themselves.

⚠️ One of the things I appreciate about Bluesky is the lack of content warnings. It forces people to grow up and take responsibility for their own content consumption.

✈️ I’d just like to point out that the United States entered World War II because Japan carried out a preemptive air strike. We put their leaders on trial at war’s end in part because of it.

🐘 What exactly is the Republican fetish for ill-advised wars in the Middle East all about? Because they keep doing it.

So… People seem to think that we’re just done now? We bombed the shit out of three nuclear sites in a country we weren’t at war with, and that’s just… it? Oh, my sweet summer children.

If ICE “agents” get to look like this while doing their dark deeds, I think they should at least have a fist full of Covid load jammed into those masks before they put them on.

🕊️ I realize it doesn’t make much difference, but I’m absolutely against my country doing anything as mind-bogglingly idiotic as joining Israel in their war against Iran. Nothing good can come of it, and innocent people will be killed.

🍎 Apple seems very intent on telling me that I’m eligible to upgrade my iPhone under the iPhone Purchase Program. I think I’ll keep my delightfully non-AI-enabled iPhone 14 Pro Max as long as possible, thank you very much.

Politically it was a bad day for them. There was a political assassination in the morning. The protest went on anyway, and dwarfed their event. Then Uncle Jack and Mary the librarian went home, put the news on and saw the police teargassing peaceful people. This won't be the end.

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

🪧 Local protest estimated at ~3,000 people by the local paper, and peaceful according to local police. Proud of Ventura today.

😢 While the regime attempts its own Reichstag fire in Los Angeles, let us hope that Minneapolis is not the Fort Sumter of the modern era. Condolences to the families of the victims.
