I don’t believe there is such a thing as being “fiscally conservative and socially liberal.” Any time I hear someone say that, I assume they are full of shit and vote Republican, but don’t want someone to think they’re a POS.

Damn that’s fucked up. Glad that the authorities realized he didn’t do anything wrong, but that’s still gotta be traumatic as hell for him and his family.

Texting 911 that you’re dying is the most Gen Z thing I’ve ever heard of.

I just tried holding the power button down on my android and it doesn’t reboot the phone. I think they got rid of that feature and replaced it with opening up the useless Google Assistant crap.

Apparently it’s a Spanish thing. From the article someone posted below (https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/amateur-restorer-botches-carving-spain-180976271/)

Spanish law currently allows amateurs to repair historic artworks—a fact that has led many conservation experts to argue for tighter regulations in the industry.

Do you have a source on that 65 year old thing? I haven’t been able to find anything about it. Everything I’ve read recently keeps mentioning that the shooter made the donation.

Doesn’t it kind of feel as if this has reached some sort of end game here? Previously, it has always felt like - yeah, they play dirty, but they keep their bullshit contained to reasonable levels. But recently, it’s just been one absolute blatantly democracy-shattering decision one after another.

Q3 2026 will come around and the AI will report that revenues are down. The CEO will respond the only way they know, by ordering that costs be cut by laying off employees. The AI will report there is no one left to lay off but the CEO.

Fade to black and credits roll.

Crooks was registered as a Republican and was in active voting status, according to the database service LexisNexis. He appears to have attended Bethel Park High School, graduating in 2022.

Wtf he just graduated high school a couple years ago? When I think of an attempted assassin, I don’t picture someone who can’t go into a bar to buy a beer.
