Incredible reporting. Instantly to the top of the true crime genre. I loved how Radden Keefe wrote with such compassion for the victim and, especially, his family. It also told such an interesting story about modern London. I am officially a big Patrick Radden Keefe fan. Wow.

At the gas station today, guy in a red truck was yelling about being in the greatest country in the world and needing to make sacrifices for Trump at the pump. How we're spreading freedom "one bomb at a time." You can hear the end of the rant in the video. These ppl are antisocial freaks.

My problem with this mentality is that Everton are clearly - *clearly* - not ready for Europe. We're already building on last season. The anxiety over European qualification feels so premature.

From a 2014 border patrol report on their excessive use of force
As we've reported, the panel found that in many cases Border Patrol officers were discharging their weapons out of frustration, rather than to guard their safety. It also suggested that officers were purposely placing themselves in front of moving vehicles, and then shooting at them.

This is amazing
I also have advice. Everybody loves reading advice on the computer, so I'll share it: the best thing you can do right now is log off as hard as you can. Go outside, talk to people in real life where it's actually kind of rude to talk about the news, try to actually see the friends you usually just text message. Go for a long drive and turn the phone off while you do it. Get back into your hobbies or pick one and learn it for a while. Watch one of those studio movies that reviews called "wildly miscalculated" and you haven't seen since high school. Play an album you like but find embarrassing. Go to free community events even if they sound stupid. If you take the freeway, try the surface streets. Go to a bad diner and just order some bad coffee because even bad coffee is good coffee.

You can't help anybody when you're exhausted and keep posting one million college-educated rewordings of "I would love to be dead right now" on the computer. Walk away from the thing and try out some of those normal things you hear about and if you get bored that's wonderful because we're not supposed to get bored anymore. It turns out boredom is the Cadillac of feelings.

If you look up "groyper" to help explain it to your blissfully ignorant loved ones, the definition itself contains notes about their feud with Charlie Kirk
Screenshot from ADL website that reads: 
Patrick Casey, who heads the white supremacist American Identity Movement, is also a "lead" Groyper.

Groypers regularly confront mainstream conservative organizations like Turning Point USA (TPUSA) for failing to promote a truly "America First" agenda and for not being adequately "pro white."

Many Groypers hold racist and antisemitic views.

Fuentes is careful to position the Groypers not as white supremacists but rather as "Christian conservatives" who oppose, among other things, immigration (undocumented and legal), globalism, gay and transgender rights and feminism.

Groypers charge that mainstream conservative organizations like TPUSA want to silence "dissidents" like Fuentes, who has been expelled from TPUSA events because of his extreme views.

I think a lot of people are going to get twisted in knots thanks to the levels of irony in the writings of the shooter, but it seems like it could be fairly straightforward. This is from the ADL's page defining "groyper" - Kirk and Turning Point is all over this page.

I'm glad for the excuse to revisit this article from @cartoonshateher.bsky.social because it really inspired me to try something different this summer (I don't use screens but did act like the playmate/cruise director). It's actually been a huge success. My kids already seem much more resilient.
From the article by cartoons hate her: "But even as young children, it never occurred to us that our parents should have entertained us. They might offer us the option to bring a toy or a book to a restaurant, and it's not like they ignored us once we were there, but it just...wasn't their job to entertain us. It wasn't their job to entertain us at home either. The idea of being bored and that being our parents' fault didn't really occur to us.

That doesn't mean they never played with us. They played with us sometimes because it was fun, not because it was their duty to keep us occupied 100% of the time. Occasionally there might be a craft, or a day out to the park, but generally my childhood (which I consider a very happy and privileged one) was spent conjuring up things to do, on my own or with my brother. A lot of the time, these activities turned into morose play-pretend games about being a Victorian orphan, as I wrote about before. But this boredom helped me develop creativity, as I assume it did for other kids in my generation. Yes, I had movies and TV, but not all the time, and not in my pocket."

All of these Everton events have been great. Really good work from all involved! My only complaint is the Castore outfit. We're trying to promote our club, but we're doing it in an off color with a confusing branding badge most prominently displayed. Doesn't identify us to the American audience!

Wow, I loved "Spitfires" by Becky Aikman! Full of daring women who went woefully unheralded for their contribution to the war. I've been struggling to pay attention to history books in the last few months (despite clear interest in the subject!), but this one had me gripped! Highly rec. #booksky

This is cool as hell. One of my favorite athletes, accomplishing something incredible.
Just days before her 24th birthday, Brooke Raboutou became the first woman to send 5.15c/9b+ with her redpoint of “Excalibur" in Arco, Italy.

5.15c is the second highest recorded
climbing grade. So far, only Adam Ondra, Seb Bouin, and Jakob Schubert have sent a proposed 5.15d/9c.

With her successful redpoint, Raboutou shrinks the all-time gap between male and female achievement in sport climbing.A picture of a proud Brooke

Other reporting and court briefs further support the families' suspicions that their loved ones were primarily targeted for deportation because of their tattoos. In one instance, a professional soccer player, whose attorney said had fled Venezuela after protesting against the Maduro regime and being tortured, was accused of gang membership based on a tattoo similar to the logo of his favorite team, Real Madrid.
