Do we as a society really need reminding don’t point weapons at police? Don’t do it folks.

Do we need a reminder that kids aren’t mini-adults, and they do stupid things sometimes? In any case, I’ll believe he pointed it at them when I see a video of it.

Hey I’ll give them some credit with that headline.

Not “13-year-old killed in police shooting” or “a 13-year old died during a police interaction” etc. Nope, they fully went with “Police in New York shoot and kill 13-year-old.” Thank you, PBS.

Also -

The shooting happened Friday night after officers in Utica stopped two youths at around 10:18 p.m.

One of them fled and pointed what appeared to be a handgun at the officers, according to a statement by the Utica Police Department.

I’ll be interested to see when that footage is released and what it contains.

Fuck if it doesn’t seem true.

No idea why they’d think that…

How is it possible to be a member of the pre-civil-rights generation of white people and be so oblivious as to

• DON A SHIRT that says in huge letters “Blacks for Trump”
• Wear it in public
• To an event ostensibly targeted to black people
• Willingly pose for a picture wearing it with no black people in evidence except those laughing at you or giving you the side eye from a distance.

She pretty much created her own bad reputation. Not just from this show, but it definitely cemented it. There was also a sex tape scandal, but I think it was wrong to slutshame someone for something like that even back then.

Her main reputation was always vapid, filthy rich, snotty socialite - she was hardly the first, but she might have been the first we got to watch in a seasons-long reality show.

Edited to add - if that stuff was all an intentional move to bring shame on her family for how they mistreated her growing up, I’m now her biggest cheerleader.

Yep. When I got out of bed this morning I would not have predicted this would be the day I’d have respect or sympathy for Paris Hilton.

I don’t support banning memes or the news either, but they aren’t under attack currently.

OK, correction accepted. I probably did conflate them with Broadcom. Someone should let those ubuntu folks know though… ;)

I’m sorry for leaving out the word “desktop”. I’m well aware that Android runs the Linux kernel and that many embedded systems run Linux.

Possibly I conflated them with Broadcom, but I feel sure I recall Qualcomm’s lack of openness being problematic in the past also.

Edit - yeah, folks jumping through hoops for their wifi at least as recently as Ubuntu 20.04. https://askubuntu.com/questions/1277359/my-qualcomm-atheros-qca9377-wireless-adopter-is-not-working-in-ubuntu-20-04-lts

When did Qualcomm start giving a shit about Linux? They’ve been on my “hardware and chipsets to avoid if possible” list for pretty much ever.

2007 was YOTLD for me. Yours, dear Windows-using reader, is 2024, if you want it to be.

That’s how security clearance works bro

I get that, but it doesn’t change this statement.

This sheep has never seen anyone provide any kind of evidence for such claims.

Trust me bro isn’t evidence. It doesn’t mean you are wrong, it means you are a random person claiming to have inside knowledge but providing nothing but your word.

That’s how evidence works bro.

You see that this is trust me bro, no matter how correct you may be, right?

Most people want to believe he wasn’t a mole

This sheep has never seen anyone provide any kind of evidence for such claims.
