This, unfortunately. The share of the public who would oppose these acts of state violence already knows and objects. And I wouldn't be surprised if they use it in their fascist propaganda.

Sincerely doubt it. The MAGA base would be happy to have a new snuff film. DHS will probably cut it into a new sizzle reel.

Thus another shitposter is born. If there's going to be ridiculous outrage anytime you post *anything*, you might as well post ridiculous, outrageous stuff 🤷‍♂️ Luxury? If that meal cost you more than 3 US dollars, including the ingredients for the entire loaf of bread, I'd be very surprised 👀

Serendipity: “Before we appeared on the Johnny Carson show, the scrupulous bandleader made us rehearse it several times using a metronome, but for the actual performance the count had somehow been set 10 beats-per-minute faster. It was hard to sing that fast, but it gave it a nervous energy.”

This They Might Be Giants TONIGHT SHOW performance of "Birdhouse In Your Soul" from 1990 remains firmly lodged in my noggin thanks to the Tonight Show Band's full commitment and Doc Severinsen's incredible trumpeting... It took an already great song and made it transcendent.

(PS3) This affected me. I just said to my wife, "If Will Smith can't keep it together at the *Oscars*, how the hell can any of *us* be expected to keep it together anymore?" I'm not saying that response makes sense, only that it reflected how I was feeling. These are dark times."Judd Apatow
He could have killed him. That's pure out of control rage and violence. They've heard a million jokes about them in the last three decades. They are not freshman in the world of Hollywood and comedy. He lost his mind.Emily Porter, M.D.
Just a reminder that if Will Smith had slapped Betty White for a joke she made (however insensitive), she easily could've fallen backward, cracked her skull and died of a brain bleed. Same with Bob Saget obviously. Violence is Never okay. I'm team #takeitbackJeffrey D Spencer
What Will Smith did to Chris Rock is the same as what Putin did to Ukraine. Putin felt threatened and disturbed. Will felt threatened and disturbed. We all love violence let's admit it. War is the same as hitting, it's hitting cities. I bet Putin loved it. I fell why Will did it

2/ Universal HBV vaccination within 24 hours of birth has worked incredibly well to safely protect infants from lifelong hep B infection. CDC surveillance data (2008-2023) show that among those age 0-19 (the cohort protected by universal HBV-BD) acute hep B rates have been ZERO since 2011.

No, the 20th C. philosopher, Michel Foucault. He wrote a number of works about the power of the State, how that power warps everything else, including how we understand history, and ways to understand what might actually have happened through the fog of propaganda perpetrated by elites. And more ofc

Maybe I should have offered to introduce you (to TMBG's music, I mean)? I'm very conscious about not pushing all my weird obsessions on my loves, though 😆😆😆 They do seem to be an acquired taste and too weird for a lot of otherwise perfectly lovely people 🤷‍♂️

Literally a week ago, the press secretary was demanding that the six people that made a video about not following illegal orders provide an example of an illegal order that’s been given. It’s been seven days and we’re already at ’shooting at shipwreck survivors, final answer’
Leavitt on Monday ripped the six lawmakers, saying they are unable to point to a single illegal order from the president.
"They can't answer the question, Martha, because there is no answer. They can't identify illegal orders because there are no illegal orders," Leavitt said. "But they were suggesting, again, to the 1.3 million active duty service members in the military today that if you think an order is illegal, you don't have to follow it."
