Utterly pathetic, even by his standards.

The crazy thing is that there seems to be no legal obstacle to this plan. Public executions stopped due to political motivation at the time, but the law in the US doesn't prohibit them.

As with many things, some see it as a warning, others misread it as being a potential blueprint

Federal Judge Finds In Favor Of One Florida Book Ban

Live streamed executions - brought to you by the same people who banned a book by a blind author about a true story of two male penguins raising a chick together - because it might affect children... www.forbes.com/sites/peterg...

The judge's reasoning would mean trouble for other lawsuits challenging book bans in Florida school districts.

Fort Hood attacker's execution by firing squad will be livestreamed, Pentagon says

Public executions - what sort of people are the US government trying to appeal to with ideas like this? Furthermore - were these people ever likely to vote for another party? This is a weird technique for a party trying to attract undecided voters before the midterms. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Pete Hegseth says the execution will be public, but a legal expert says the "unprecedented" decision is on "uncertain legal terrain".

Sagal Abdi-Wali came to the UK aged 7 having fled the war in Somalia with her family. She has thrived. Leader of Camden council and now the MP for Holborn and St Pancras. A narrative that runs counter to all we are told about refugees. Congratulations www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

In today's episode of "many tech bros have no comprehension of what gives other people joy in their lives". I worry that our world is being redesigned by people who aren't at all like most of us in the way they act and in what gives them pleasure and how they relax.

New AI One Nation Ad Sparks Controversy | 10 News

How can One Nation's AI generated ad be legal? No matter how's it's described, seeing the actual ad will still shock you. Many Hanson untruths are there - from the machete wielding black guy breaking into a house while on bail to the Muslim in a suicide vest. youtube.com/shorts/u8Hu9...

Can news sources stop saying things like "botched arson attack" or "arson attack gone wrong"? They are implying that some arson is somehow ok - the only problem being that it missed the correct target. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10...

It's already so embedded in our mind as an abbreviation for something else - at least if people are going to do this, they should find a term or phrase that doesn't already mean something entirely different.

I keep seeing yt at the moment (for white) in posts on some platforms nearly always by non white people either making some observation about what white people do or what white people won't understand. And my mind still processes it as an abbreviation of YouTube.
