They may be thinking as my aunt/uncle do - the sound of the pump action is the first defense. After that the ears are a small problem by comparison to what gets through the first defense.
I’d much rather have a handgun myself, but that may be the mentality.
To be fair, the president has been doing that for years.
It hit him right in the fee fees, and badly damaged his already fwagile mascuwinity.
Solid recommendations always accepted - will do!
Well I now have a new badass author to add to my list of books to read
Edit: Just to note for those who aren’t reading the article, winning the Nobel is not what got him banned. Article with the most relevant (IMO) bits:
The 91-year-old author, who won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1986, said the US consulate asked him to bring in his passport so his visa could be cancelled in person as new unspecified information had come to light.
Soyinka called the invitation a “rather curious love letter from an embassy” in a news conference held on Tuesday and told organisations hoping to invite him to the US “not to waste their time”.
The Nobel laureate has previously held permanent residency in the US but renounced it in 2016, tearing up his green card in protest of President Donald Trump’s election.
Soyinka affirmed on Tuesday that he no longer had his green card – and jokingly added that it had “fallen between the fingers of a pair of scissors and it got cut into a couple of pieces”.
He said his recent comparison of Trump to Uganda’s dictator - “Idi Amin in white face” - may have contributed to the current situation.
“When I called Donald Trump Idi Amin, I thought I was paying him a compliment,” Soyinka said, “he’s been behaving like a dictator.”
Idi Amin was a Ugandan military officer and dictator who ruled the country from 1971 to 1979, infamous for his brutal regime and widespread human rights abuses.
When asked if he would consider going back to the US, Soyinka said: “How old am I?”
I would say Debian, but Mint is a decent option. I preferred LMDE with KDE but its no longer officially supported as I understand it, only cinnamon is.
I believe that was $20b, not $2b.
And twice over now, for a total of $40b.
Government work operates on prevailing wage, can’t specify union or not.
Whether or not they abided by this requirement I couldn’t say.
Was OJ Simpson a rapist along with being a violently abusive and a murderer? Because I think Trump just likes rich rapists like himself, I don’t know that OJ counts.
Tucker Carlson defending himself, he claimed a playboy model tried to extort trump.
Fox’s legal team argued that his comments couldn’t reasonably be considered factual, and that any viewer should be skeptical about what he says.
That was on his show though, not the news program.
TIL - thats neat! I use the phrase all the time, so did my dad. His dad was the first generation born in the US, somewhere from southern Ireland (not much in the way of paperwork to track before that).
Some things are still required to operate during a shutdown.
That said, these are illegal layoffs and are already being challenged in court. Unfortunately that also means it will take time, and the supreme court is a complete fucking farce at this point.
So they have! Though you have to scroll down to see it, its not really apparent that other options are there now…
For reference:
Option 2: Mail-In Strike Card You can now submit a Strike Card by mail and get counted without your info being entered into our database. Print out a Mail-In Strike Card here and mail it to: General Strike US (GSUS), PO Box 7, Malden-on-Hudson, NY 12453. An organizer will reach out when it’s time to strike!
I’ve included the link to their (ugh) Google Drive version of the mail-in card. Name or pseudonym and an email are required, phone number is not, so that is a good option.
Option 3: In-Person
You can also sign up below with a local organizer at community events, protests or rallies, by printing the In-Person Strike Card here and emailing your number of sign-ups to [email protected] to get counted towards the goal of 11 million. Learn more here.
Again, I’ve included the link to their google drive version of the in-person sheet.
Option 4: Email Only
Not ready to commit just yet? Sign up with only your email address below to receive updates and stay in the loop.
This is what I just did, I’ll deal with the mailer later on.
applies to
mostall for profit social media
I don’t like having to share my phone number, which is why I haven’t signed up. Or that every social is the typical - discord, bluesky, youtube, instagram.
I’m all for the idea, but they give me big privacy worries.
…
both are part of the problem
As far as I can tell, healthcare is not “fixed” or even “back on track”. You’d be hard-pressed to find another industry as loathed as insurance for healthcare, too.
It still wouldn’t address the issues in the linked article, which is much more widespread and specifically includes those celebrity ceo’s.
Charlie Kirk was the cofounder and CEO of Turning Point.
Sam Altman, Elon Musk, the McMahons, Mark Zuckerberg…
Irrelevant when both are part of the same problem.
Edit: also LOL at removal for “promoting violence” given the actual article being discussed.

Hey, its not my take.
I’d rather not give them a chance to take out a weapon either. But its not my shotgun either.
