Schumer has still not commented on Omar in any format I can find. His emotional support ethnostate always comes first.

Trivia

I was curious how many movies in English there were called “Moloch.” I figured there had to be at least 4 or 5. I was wrong. I found one but it doesn’t really count. It came out in 2000 and it’s some kind of no budget non-movie with 14 Imdb ratings.

So the slop-gates were open. What sort of technical excellence did the antisocial warriors contribute? There’s this one from five days after Torvalds’ announcement. The message laments that the networking maintainers are drowning in slop — so they fixed this with more slop:

The shooter was killed by somebody the article calls a “good Samaritan”.

What to know about the shooting

• Four people were killed, including children, in a shooting today at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon, authorities said.

• The children were 5, 8 and 11 years old. An adult teacher was also killed.

• The suspect, who police said was a 16-year-old Bend resident armed with a long gun, gained entrance into the school by shooting through locked doors, officials said.

• A good Samaritan shot and killed the 16-year-old, according to authorities, who credited that person with preventing further loss.

• Two other people, a 7-year-old and another teacher, were critically injured.

• Bend is a city about 3 ½ hours southeast of Portland.

Manhattan’s Upper West Side has been reveling in the company of its latest celebrities: A family of barn owls nested in a water tower atop a building near Central Park. This is the first documented instance of barn owls nesting in Manhattan in modern history, according to one expert, and the owls have attracted nightly crowds of people in the street eager to get a glimpse of the elusive birds.

David Barrett, a Manhattan-based birder who runs the popular social media account, Manhattan Bird Alert, said he’s observed at least one adult barn owl and five fledglings at the water tower. He’s also seen an adult owl carrying rodents back to the water tower. There are believed to be two adult owls, and some photographers have claimed to have seen six fledglings, Barrett added.

Before the recent barn owl sightings, Williams and her husband heard periodic screeching noises outside going back to early September. They initially assumed it was a bird of some kind but were skeptical when a phone app indicated the noise was from a barn owl. Thomas Obersteiner said that he first heard bizarre screeching and wailing noises from outside one evening in mid-September. It sounded like someone was “being murdered outside,” he said.

“That lasted for two or three weeks, every night, sometimes more, sometimes less, coming from different directions,” Obersteiner added. “But I had no idea what that was.” On multiple occasions, Obersteiner or his wife ran into their children’s bedroom after mistaking the owls’ screech for a child in pain, he said. It wasn’t until he saw a news report that he realized that owls were making the sounds.

Farnsworth said the screech is typical of barn owls, who use it to communicate with one another. The screech is like a “horror movie kind of experience,” he said.

Ninja edit. As if billionaires could actually be arrested! Oops.

if they’re going to try to deport ilhan omar i expect chuck schumer and hakeem jeffries to be the last men standing between her and the boat telling her what a shame it is

I keep saying “This thing is like a Black Mirror episode.” But what can a poor boy do? This thing is like a Black Mirror episode.

Are you actually suggesting that the dem’s magic spell of saying “Vote!” over and over and over and over again will fail???

My favorite interaction with a redditor happened during Trump 1.0. We were sort of arguing so I decided to end on a positive note. I wanted to say “We both want Trump to die so we have that in common.” But I realized I had to edit it because I was in r/politics and if mods saw that - they’d say I was “wishing for death” and give me a temporary ban. So I sad something more bland like: Trump could die and we would be rid of him.

I got a surprise. The redditor got sort of indignant. They said they didn’t want Trump to die. They wanted Trump eventually tried, convicted, and sent to prison. They’d never admit to it - but they wanted Team GOP to get the L and Team Democrat to get the W.

You just missed my edit. For a lot of democrats - politics is like reality tv or sports. They want their team to “score points” and “win”. Moral, ethical and even practical considerations are ignored.

On Bluesky the following seems to be a popular take.

This would also set a precedent to strip Elon Musk and Melania of their citizenship and to deport them.

Edit. This is how our team can win!

Texas DA says ICE intentionally hit immigrant with a car and may have withheld evidence

My joke was going to be “Can you imagine a democrat saying that?” because I assumed he’s a “Don’t mess with Texas” chud. But the joke’s on me. I googled and it turned out Sean Teare is a democrat.
