I enjoy #Kygo's music and all but artists should really stop this business of calling their tours "world tour" if it will only be visiting the United States, Canada, and Europe. #smh
@EpiphanicSynchronicity@raptor85@codemonkeymike Am I the only person out there who doesn’t give a bollock about “community” and prefers to just use software that works well? Like for real, I don’t care about Gates, Torvalds or Eich or any of them or what they want or believe in. if an app or OS can do something then I just use it. Completely agnostic stance. This kumbayah solidarity thing is so teenagery and gang-bangeresque. #smh
The timing is awkward to say the least, given the murder victims' bodies atm remain unrecovered, the suspect afaik remains basically mum [keeping shtoom], & ofc the whole palaver of trial, evidence etc is still in the distant future.
Even so, don't we already know two important, & uncontested, bits of info here that make Shields' decision to wrap his editorial of longstanding police antipathy to #LGBTQI peeps around this latest tragic unnecessary loss of innocent lives, unwise at the very least, if not exposing him to criticism of drawing too long a bow?
the suspect is gay, along with the victims.
the suspect was until only very recently in a direct partner relationship with one of the victims
As such, it just seems to me that Shields is entirely barking up the wrong tree here, by his blatant & repeated linking of this crime to the historical horrors of terrible cops' misbehaviour against queer peeps.
Am i too far out on a limb here to suggest that it is extraordinarily probable the suspect in THIS case murdered the victims expressly coz of my dot points, not coz "i'm a cop, cops kill gays, ergo i must kill this pair"?
IMO Bevan Shields has made multiple blunders since becoming editor, & here i feel he's made another.
@angeidheal@gaidhlig After which, #Kipling was still racist af. #smh I mean, this should be mentioned somewhere. In an article where he's in the blurb??
@flexghost The 4th estate are protoplasmic jellyfish with no spines.
They can't even say "lies", instead saying, "untruths". They can't say "propaganda" instead calling it "misinformation". They can't even say "f'ing crazy" instead using the pathetic euphemism, "unhinged".
"Wah, but what about the liability." Cowards. #smh
Why in the world would you expect them to call a judicially declared terrorist, an actual, "terrorist"?
🙄 #smh. #nfl fans get ruffled so damn easy, it’s sad. Who cares what an old man says about your team. .. … ! … then again it shows us how super sensitive #Chiefs fans are today, y’all should include the #Eagles too. @nfl#nfl —
I'm sorry, but... wtf? How can you even defend this? "Oh yeah, that functionality that doesn't do what anyone would reasonable expect it to do — it's meant to work like that."
#Cat on left, Teddy, wants to watch another 'Shameless' episode with me. Cat two, Jasper (on the right), has my wallet, my phone charger, my notepad, my TV remote and my home phone under him.. (hey, he's a big cat! He can do it!)
Yet they still rest an ear on my CTRL key, which produces very weird things when I pull the mouse cord out from under him. #SMH #CatsOfMastodon#Mastocats
Man I feel sorry for gingers. Playing my second run-through of “Horizon Forbidden West” where the main character is female with long flowy red hair. Every single character you meet along the way calls you by some different redhead reference. “The flame haired outlander”. “Hair like blood”. “Redheaded Nora warrior”. “Legend tells of a maiden with hair like the setting sun”. “Whoa - you’re that (maiden|warrior|similar noun) with the red hair we heard about”.
Jesus guys. She’s got eyes, boobs and a butt as well! #smh
And we wonder why towns can't afford things?

I'm chortling to Neil DeGrasse Tyson , as he examines the Bayer company advertising, claiming they help students with physics, so they understand why "light objects fall faster than heavy objects", and makes me suspicious about their claims that Aspirin is safe? #SMH#Physics
