I wish people were held accountable for statements about motives and influences when we don’t even know the cunt’s name yet.

With that sniper’s dream of a dome, I don’t blame him.

I feel bad that his children had to witness that, and even if they hadn’t been there (which they were) they’d undoubtedly have the video clip shoved in their faces eventually. That’s a hell of a way to lose a parent.

The fact that he died while in the middle of talking about trans mass shooters being a huge problem certainly makes it feel like cosmic karma at work. I struggle to give a shit about the man himself being shot dead. But I do worry about political violence… it’s a very rare occasion when murdering someone sitting in a chair talking is a good idea. Not a single person in his right-wing sphere of repugnance is going to do any self-reflection and change their ways, they’ll just become even more rabidly anti-everything left of Hitler. Shit like this doesn’t go unanswered too often. Violence is a contagion with no cure except time, and the clock gets set back another decade every time someone retaliates. I’m sure we could chain all of these assassinations together into a causal sequence. But even if they’re all independent events, the narrative-makers will be hard at work making it sound like a grand battle of the ages, so the result is the same either way.

P.S. Any bets that the shooter was a MAGA nut? Seems to be the trend 👀

I didn’t get diagnosed until after I’d installed Linux. I think we’ve been getting the horse before the cart on this one.

Linus Torvalds is Patient Zero. Each distro is its own unique pathway, but they all wind up at the same place.

Loyalists and violent racism. Name a more iconic duo.

I was an early adopter of No Man’s Sky (long before the shift in public perception), and I fucking loved it back then, and love it now as well. But admitting that in public a few years back was tantamount to saying that stapling your child to a rabid badger was a great alternative to hiring a babysitter.

I instantly and impulsively pre-ordered a special superduper collector’s edition of Lake Mungo for ~£80. I probably shouldn’t have done that. I love the film and will no doubt love the goodies and bonus features, but 80 fucking quid…

Do you want vigilantism and political assassinations? Because this is how you get vigilantism and political assassinations.

This has gotta be the most corrupt time in U.S. history.

Pretty much everyone I knew who had an Amiga had that box, and from the age of about 6 I was able to jimmy it open easily. Not that I had nefarious intent, just wanted to play Monkey Island.

This is gonna cause a resurgence of Qanon. And even his “normal” base will lap it up, because now it’s not coming from 4chan, but rather his own speaker.

This administration is the most insane government I’ve ever seen in a ‘developed’ nation, at any time in the recorded history of ‘developed’ nations. There isn’t even a close second, and it’s somehow worse than Trump’s first term.

Looking forward to his third term, I’m sure it’ll be great fun.

Arbitrary choice, but Wherever I May Roam by Metallica never gets old for me.

When I was a kid (late '80s/early '90s), I was so determined to learn this technique that I stood in my back garden for about 45 minutes blowing fruitlessly into my fingers, and almost passed out 🤣 I’m in my 40s now and still wish I could do it, especially now that I have a dog and the wee fucker won’t listen to reason.

Congratulations, you’re living the dream now!

My hope for this trial, beyond legal satisfaction for the complainant, is that Linehan be sent for mandatory psychiatric help, for everyone’s sake. He’s a few priests short of a sitcom, to say the least.

Did you forget to microwave it first?

I gift a riverboat to the otter people in exchange for splashy kisses on my cheeks.

The locations of past atrocities (N. Ireland).

Not even joking. It’s a huge part of our tourism industry. It’s like those Jack the Ripper tours in Whitechapel. Living here, you barely even think about them, but visitors act like they’re meeting Taylor Swift when they spot a bullet hole, bless 'em.

Psychoanalysts hate those blotchy black & white images of my mother’s pussy giving birth to my father who is wielding a knife with my name written along the hilt. “Stop bringing these fucking drawings in here!” she yells. God forbid a man have hobbies.

It’s so strange that he clearly has body image issues, what with the orange make-up, extreme comb-over, and lies about his weight and height, yet he seems to have no issues with 20-foot photos of himself up on buildings looking like someone toilet papered an alcoholic’s 4-day-old paper bag.

Or he has no body image issues at all, and genuinely believes he’s attractive, looking like a sickly prehistoric mosquito peering out from the inside of a lump of amber. Maybe he really believes he’s that tall, that thin, and that intelligent. Which just raises further questions about his psychology. Is that just typical narcissistic sociopathic shit?

Any non-cunts in the EV manufacturing space? Or is that a prerequisite?
