And make no mistake that's part of what this is about. Trafficking guns and making a lot of money on it along with an indifference to the safety of children.

Every year teachers all over the US rehearse with their classes what they must do if someone decides to shoot up the school. -
Every year teachers all over the US rehearse with their classes what they must do if someone decides to shoot up the school.If the whole country had gun laws like NYC a large portion of murders would simply not happen. People might try to use a knife, or act out in other ways but fewer people would be dead. The people who really want to own a gun could still own them and the illegal trade would dry up.
It might even be fine to have hunting guns sold more casually in rural areas. I don't think anyone but those who benefit from trafficking guns into cities would be bothered.

Every year teachers all over the US rehearse with their classes what they must do if someone decides to shoot up the school.Most crimes committed with guns involve illegally obtained guns from out of state.
Most young men do not have a car, few can drive, the fact that you can't just buy a gun at Walmart in NYC is a good thing! To buy a gun you need to file with your local police department and take a class. It's expensive and time consuming.
People desperate for a gun will obtain them from the black market and this is risky and there are heavy legal penalties.

Every year teachers all over the US rehearse with their classes what they must do if someone decides to shoot up the school.This has been correct so far. To some degree the extreme saturation of surveillance in NYC may make it a less appealing target for anyone who thinks a little about doing such a crime. And it's not easy for people who live in the city to buy guns from a store. Doing it legally remains very hard, but this can be avoided by just going over the border to another state and the NRA has been chipping away at our few remaining gun regulations.

Every year teachers all over the US rehearse with their classes what they must do if someone decides to shoot up the school.That's so scary. I'm glad that he made it and horrified he has to live with that experience. When schools first started doing these kinds of drills I thought it was maybe overreacting. But, the number of shootings kept going up and quickly I had to admit that it would be very irresponsible to be unprepared. We have to teach even the youngest children what to do.
This is something that touches everyone, it's changed the way that everyone lives. For what?

Elon Musk doesn't really have an authentic national identity he is willing to embrace due to his racism.Well he could also just be American ... but it would mean embracing the multi-ethnic multi-cultural vision of being American.

To be South African? Awkward, complicated. One would need to recognize the past and help be a part of building a multi-ethnic future. To be American? He will always be an immigrant.
He's not "English" either.
Maybe that's why he's latched on to whiteness?

Elon Musk just called for the overthrow of the UK government in front of more than 100,000 anti-immigrant protesters, and told them "violence is coming."The UK should ban him from entering the country. He's not even from there.

Stop taking productivity advice from people whose lives look nothing like yours.That was a more self aware answer than I would have anticipated.
And I agree it's very disappointing and disturbing to think about all of the people with ties to that circle. Even if many of these people who know Epstein didn't commit any crimes many people knew or had to suspect what he was all about.
The "Birthday Books" make this very obvious. "Ha ha that's just how he is."

A few modifications to the screenshot I posted, but here's the initial fish cranial kinesis model's movement.This is magnificent.
I'm thinking about how one would do this for ants... but so many parts of the ant are flexible and this is integral to their locomotion and mandible action (even their wings)
I kind of suspect this is why attempts at "robot bugs" feel so much more clumsy than the OGs: They aren't a jointed system of hard parts, but a jointed system of hard and flexible parts.

@josh0 @carnage4lifeIt's very surreal to read anything from him and not have any "that's not true at all" or "what is wrong with you" moments. This is ... fine. Too bad our recent actions don't align with it at all. Pretty words. Are there actions to match them?

Good.I was kind of having fun hounding her about this. But, progress is.

This post did not contain any content.Maybe if there were more trans people in his life this wouldn't have happened.
(I can do it too. If that is what we are doing now.)

It looks like Korea’s reaction to the ICE raid of the Hyundai & LG battery factory has gotten Trump shook.This is the closest thing I've ever seen to an apology from this clown.

This post did not contain any content.The trans person, who isn't confirmed to be his partner, chatted with him on discord and was disturbed enough to go to the police about it.
This is a nice way to thank them for doing the responsible thing about a possible murderer.
-
It seems pretty likely that trump did not know about the raid on korean workers.Between this an the threats about bolasrnaro falling flat the US is looking exceptionally bad at the moment.
Though it's a good thing the threats didn't work. But don't make threats that don't work. Looks weak.

@cafuegoDark skies are very important for ant conservation. (and also birds and other animals.)

this is the first time i’ve seen this 4chan douchebag in a suit and tie.He's been dressing like that for about a year.

I was aware that many (if not most) people on the right were not aware that BOTH of the people who tried to assassinate Trump during his campaign were right wingers...I'm just exhausted with the gymnastics of "well if it wasn't an evil leftist then it was someone on the right doing it to frame the left" and not just... infighting in a group of people who have a lot of guns and their share of unstable people who constantly "joke" about this exact kind of violence.
Why is that so hard to imagine?

I was up early enough (and lucky enough) to catch the tail end of the Bronx 10 mile.When I ran with NYRR for years and years I complained that they didn't have enough races in the Bronx. The NYC Marathon has its roots in the Bronx with the work of Ted Corbitt who changed the world of running. But the Marathon route hardly touches the Bronx at all. I always thought it was disrespectful.
But it seems they have added a new 10 mile race in the Bronx!
I wish I could still run, maybe I could walk it next year. It goes right down the Concourse a very pleasant run!
