at first I wondered, is that a sun or a moon… then I realized, it’s more likely a spotlight from a Google AI powered autonomous weapon system hunter-killer drone.
love the skull piles btw!
irresponsible gun owning parents, who literally put firearms into the hands of their homicidal children, need to be held accountable for these tragedies.
dozens of mass shootings in recent years, especially school shootings, were absolutely preventable. if only these fucking lazy stupid ass adults would stop fetishizing guns for 2 seconds, long enough to store their weapons securely like a sane responsible person. or they could, idk, maybe steer their mentally disturbed crotch goblin towards a more pro-social, harmless activity?
firearm ownership is a responsibility too few take seriously.
“This is unacceptable. No one should ever resort to violence or vandalism to make a political point.” Hochul said in a statement in X.

nice how he intentionally conflates vandalism with violence, to make the act of putting tape on a building sound like a level 4 code magenta terrorist attack. these fragile pathetic losers.
i think tik tok might be in a position where they must sell in order to continue serving content to American users
The order was announced as White House officials believed they were nearing a deal for the app’s operations to be spun off into a new company based in the U.S. and owned and operated by a majority of American investors,
the extension only happened because after the TikTok CEO, Shou Chew, threw a big party for right wing influencers during Trump’s record breaking $200M bribe acceptance party inauguration, Trump mysteriously halted the order (despite being signed into law) to ban the app.
from the article:
Top TikTok executives reportedly rubbed shoulders with American tech leaders and handed out business cards at an elite pre-inauguration donor event on Sunday featuring members of the Trump administration, as the app’s future in the U.S. remains uncertain.
Tiktok executives including CEO Shou Chew and vice president Michael Beckerman were reportedly on hand at the event, which President Donald and First Lady Melania Trump hosted at the National Building Museum in Washington. They joined a reported guestlist including Vice President JD Vance, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, and conservative megadonor Miriam Adelson.
geeze, it’s almost like the tech oligarchs told Trump to pause the ban until they could negotiate a way to profit more from acquisition of TikTok (or a newly created US based subsidiary that Bezos is trying to invest in) than by outright banning users access to it, cold turkey.
rich motherfuckers will do anything to avoid paying taxes, up to and including a coup.
and how fucking dare they use taxpayer data for their white supremacist immigrant scapegoating agenda.
here’s another great historical photo of a revolutionary. the sources have more details about Marina’s life, for those interested in Spanish Civil War history.

The photo was taken by the Irish photographer Colman Doyle. The original caption: “A woman IRA volunteer on active service in West Belfast with an AR18 assault rifle”.
The IRA regularly conducted “show of arms” displays, showing off their modern and numerous weapons.

I hope they have a plan to preserve those archives.
interesting movie you should check out, God Bless America, directed by the inimitable Bobcat Goldthwait.
it’s a sort of dirtbag dark comedy blend of Falling Down meets Joe vs The Volcano. middle aged guy gets a terminal diagnosis and goes on a cross country rampage taking out right wing pundits. there’s a fair amount of poorly aged schlock and nostalgia fetishizing but the core premise is enough to make it worthwhile.
