It's important to remember that fascists will pretend to support popular policies to get power. I'm not saying that this is what he's doing, but after Fetterman, stated policy positions mean less to me when there are red flags (like, uh, Nazi tattoos).

Your professor starts giving a lecture that applies perfectly to the situation, but you're not listening because you're looking at something strange out the window

It's not real Nashville hot chicken unless it comes from the Nashville region of France

"i don't know where my phone is" - sung to the tune of "i'm like a bird" by nelly furtado

you remember when you were a kid and you picked up one of the books you loved, but discovered you were slightly too old for it? you just pawed through the pages, trying to feel some of the joy it used to bring you, but instead you felt that profound loss for the first time ever

haha that was crazy!

THIS CAME OUT

This is what I was trying to say the other day.

It's difficult to get across the nuance of, "this guy probably shot regularly" and "most people could make this shot if they grew up around guns."

For non-gun folk, it's much more exciting to think "sniper." That's gonna fuel some conspiracity.

this post made me realize that "well, tbf, every day has an event that could fuel an assassination attempt" may not be the healthiest status quo for a society

My concern is that describing the shooter as having a great deal of acumen might fuel conspiracy theories at this stage.

I'm just saying it's not "had to be an ex-sniper!" level. More like "darn good shootin'" level. (mentally substitute a neutral phrase for "darn good," I can't think of one)

I think I could have written my post more clearly; blind luck is very unlikely. I was expressing that it's a possibility.

This is almost certainly someone with a decent amount of experience. It's just not "had to be an ex-sniper" level, which may be important when the conspiracy theories start.

I think your point was clear. The shot's at about a 4 MOA standard, it's impressive under stress but not absolutely insane like some are speculating.

Certainly an experienced shooter or someone with insane luck, but that's about all we can know from just the distance and the result.

Jesus fucking Christ this country is fucked

It should also be stressed that making "compromises" regarding the rights of trans folk weakens the rights of cis folks, too.

If trans people are forced into hiding, the fascists will just look for another target. They will never, ever stop pressing.

As an Illinoisan, I held my nose while voting for Pritzker the first time, and then he won me over by being an earnest, action-driven governor.

It's odd that there's even an argument here; judging someone based on their actual record should be the standard. Their messaging should never come first.

man #TaylorSwift is engaged, someone tell Trump that he could totally RUIN her day and STEAL HER SPOTLIGHT by dying of congestive heart failure

I never thought the term "aggressively unfunny" made sense until I tried watching Kill Tony last night

during the Star Trek disc. in that stream I wanted to mention that I made a cut of Avery Brooks on the Captains in which everything's the same but he sucks at piano

YouTube video by John Krane - Topic Cybertruck (In Town)

This is a song I sing to myself when I see a #cybertruck, so I recorded it.

streaming everywhere if that's what you're into.

Songwriters tend to try to make "perfect" records, which means a bunch of autotune, click tracks, and soon (I'm sure) AI.

I wanted to try something else, so I recorded a record in one take. This is me playing acoustic, sometimes screwing up, minimal effects.

At least here in St. Louis, every storebought melon I've had has been complete trash this year.

actually a lot of innocent people write birthday letters to child sex traffickers in which they repeatedly reference the secrets they share

YouTube video by otherfather otherfather - some wes anderson bullshit (official lyric video)

this is the lyric video for our single. It's about depression and it's big and weird. I like it a lot.

I'm not gonna hashtag the word "depression," though. #healthyselfpromotionlimits #music #indiemusic

I'd like to also throw in "intelligent South Asian woman is the second in command who knows how to pull the strings"

I think both come from a combination of 1) casting directors trying to be diverse without giving actual lead roles to POC and 2) the actors involved knocking it out of the park

I love the Avengers pose. "QUEER FOLK, ASSEMBLE"

Thanks! That means a ton to me, sincerely.

I'd love to hear you play, if you post stuff online (I understand if not, though, it's wild out here).

Art and Depression. - John Krane's Stuff Lots of Sisqo in this for an essay about suicide.

Our record "maybe tomorrow" is about grief, and mentioning grief seems to have struck a chord with a lot of folks.

In case anyone's interested, I've got a big piece here about art and depression. I tried to avoid making it too heavy, so there's also a lot of stuff about Sisqo and toe fungus.

I don't know why I've become obsessed with this problem, but I'm in too deep: What about decobbing the corn before freezing? Then it could store flat.

Also, and this is important -- as a poet, do you think "decobbing" was the right word to use here?

Corn can be frozen, though.

(I spent an embarrassing amount of time trying to make this comment into a joke involving Mr. Freeze and Korn).
