NYC Mass Shooting Was Nearly Impossible to Prevent, Experts Say

Holy shit, they did it. They wrote the headline.

If I keep the same plan I have right now my coverage will go from $500/mo to around $1200/mo. It's more than my mortgage.

My prescription drugs and specialists will mean I'm either paying a crazy high premium or crazy high co-pays.

Ooof. The same thing happened to me. It's wild how quickly they expect people to be without pain relief after major surgery. I hope it's tolerable.

"My photographer got hit twice by less than lethal rounds and he's got blood on one of his arms and we just took off running with the entire crowd. It was absolutely chaotic."

You know when you were a kid and your parents made you go to some other kid’s birthday party that you didn’t want to go to but you went anyway because you knew there would be food and cake and probably something fun to do? I think that’s what today feels like for a lot of people.

That feeling when the LA Times publishes the location of your quiet local swimming home. 😬

We need this everywhere. I once went to a large club that refused to provide or sell any water except $15 Voss and was outraged.
It's unconscionable to serve alcohol and not provide free or cheap water.

I live in a vacation town and I can confirm the chaos of the holiday week has begun.

I still use kitchen tongs that one of my roommates in college took from our sorority house.

if you don’t know the history of Dodger Stadium you can’t fully understand what unfolded today. thanks @chrislhayes.bsky.social for the opportunity to share it.

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

Wild how the Fed chair saying that *entire regions of the United States* won’t be able to get a mortgage in the next decade barely registered as a news event

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee:

“Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

leftists: that thing you teach us in school to be terrified of is happening

historians: that thing is definitely happening

star wars: here is a beat-for-beat breakdown of how the thing happens, but with pew pew lasers. we know you watched it

No Kings On June 14—Flag Day—Donald Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. ...

And check the nokings.org site. Even my small rural town has a group listed to meet at an intersection .

They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

This is the way to stand up to these bullies! Respect ✊
