That was deliberate and calculated. He intended to shoot a woman reporter with a potentially-lethal projectile. There was no excuse of 'panic' or anything.

There is no fucking reason for any of this shit. Nobody was threatened by immigrants. They were working for a living like the rest of us, not hurting anybody. The whole thing is BULLSHIT. Pure fear-mongering BULLSHIT. Lies intended to promote a fascist dictatorship.

Pepperball projectiles. Percussion grenades. Tear gas, CS gas. Pepper spray. Foam baton rounds. LBD-40s. Marker rounds. I’m guilty of the ā€œless lethalsā€ language as a kneejerk catch-all for these items in the moment, but Luke is right. Time to get specific and stay specific.

This shouldn't be funny, but it is genders.wtf

Fucking Scrabble master, me

Mr Bee, distractedly: single life is basically just avoiding people who've seen you naked whilst trying to find someone new to see you naked. Me: unprofessionally, at least. Like...not a doctor. Mr Bee: yeah I wouldn't want an unprofessional doctor. (He's had precisely one beer)

Obvs you can follow this up with a punch in the face for the fascist, ymmv

If they build this I'm quitting my job so I don't have to travel through it every time I go to the office

It’s 2025. Jared Leto is starring in a Tron sequel, Kevin Spacey won an award at Cannes, Ezra Miller, Shia LaBoeuf, and James Franco all walked the Cannes red carpet, Garrison Keillor and Ryan Adams are touring, Louis CK won a Grammy… Tell me again that ā€œcancel cultureā€ exists

I just went to the live feed and - incredibly - you can hear the birds. You couldn't make this up.

Looked into swapping from Substack to Ghost / Buttondown and within minutes, my brain had given up. Is there an alternative to Subtack’s VC-backed Silicon Valley bullcrappery that doesn’t involve me being an IT nerd? (Bear in mind, it has to support podcast hosting as well as text posts.)

The weird, often whitewashed way the civil rights movement is taught (or not taught) seemed to convince a lot of people that nonviolence was met with nonviolence, instead of you know, dogs, hoses, beatings, death, etc

When he's doing DIY, Mr Bee is forever giving me cautions about objects / issues which seem so insanely unlikely to cause me injury. "Watch out for this thing on the other side of a room you don't really go in", that kind of thing. He's replacing all the boards in the bathroom and called me in 1/

One of the reasons I think ā€œdefund the policeā€ is a great slogan is that you get to repeatedly tell people that studies show that police don’t actually solve murders, and in fact one-third of stranger-murders are committed by police.

I *know* how standard low coupled toilets work, I really do. But it still absolutely boggles my mind when you can just unscrew them from the floor and the water fails to gush out from underneath.

An extremely cursory examination of the scholarship on deplatforming shows that it works. I can't stop you from publishing on substack, but I am disappointed in you if you do. And I will personally never pay a penny to any substack.
