Over 40,000 people with guns kill someone using a gun in the US every year. It is only reasonable that police stop every person with a gun to check them. In fact, the only reasonable action is to assume anyone buying guns, or frequenting gun-centric locations, is a potential threat and should be searched. Sorry Bass Pro boys and range lizards.

This is a post about immigration, L.A., and SCOTUS.

It's 2026 and the last American employed in manufacturing is laid off by his AI supervisor and begins the long walk home. Since the word "Depression" was banned by Presidential decree, economists are now writing of the "Great Compression" of 2026. And it's a fitting name since we're all suffering under the big squeeze. But fear not! What's left of President Trump--referred to as the Almighty by his fans and "The big orange bag of shit" by everyone else--is now selling edible TrumpCoins so no one need starve to death. In fact only 85% of Americans need food assistance, so things could be worse. And based on the past year, "worse" is on its way.

Other kids at the playground here in the US wanted my pre-schooler to be the 'bad guy' so they could shoot their pretend guns at him. Ha. Nope.

My kiddo doesn't play any 'shooting' games, and 'bad guys' are just pretend - there are just people who make bad decisions sometimes though (we'll teach him about IRL bad guys later).

The parents of the other kid? Totally encouraged it all and stood in when my kiddo wouldn't play.

Gun culture is a cancer.

I'm the founder of Libreboot, and its lead developer. Sales fund the project.

Your choice of Debian Linux, other Linux distro or a BSD. A warranty is also provided on every order.

@littlemiao in my experience, reading more books is always the solution.

When I was a kid, my parents warned us not to buy food from China. Food safety regulations were non existent and you never know if it's toxic.

As a parent, I'm warning my kids not to buy food from the United States. Food safety regulations are non existent and you never know if it's toxic.

It's come full circle

This is how to write truthfully about #RFKJr: "This is a lie. The new guidelines erect enormous barriers for people who want the #vaccine, including the vulnerable. The guidelines will result in fewer people getting the vaccine, which will result in more people dying." https://defector.com/how-the-fuck-are-you-supposed-to-get-your-covid-vaccine
