The initial alert was "shots heard" ... but this is Britain ... the shots were fired by the police. It's a "major incident" but there is not much on the nature of the incident yet.
There was a murderer among the civilian responders in London.
Not a coincidence, the convicted murderer and the would-be terrorist were both on a prisoner release scheme rehabilitation meeting. As were the two victims who died (they worked or volunteered on the scheme).
It's not just sociopathy, it's sheer stupidity as well. To think that massive disruption of the globe's populations and economies wouldn't have a negative effect on Canada is ludicrous.
hey can y'all do me a favor and quote tweet/reply to this with something along the lines of 'I want this on a shirt', thank you pic.twitter.com/UhuGRQgU6b
A few mins ago I spoke with a juror on the Musk defamation case who talked about the jury's rationale. I'll try to explain what he said in a thread.https://t.co/vMtCkJdDOp
This is the case from August you might have heard about. The 6-year-old French child survived but with serious injuries.
Some thoughts
(1) What is the opposite of nominative determinism? "Bravery"
and
(2) I can't link to the image but this just cements my bias against people whose eyebrows meet in the middle
however
(3) The guy does seem to have some genuine mental health issues (autism plus other conditions), but I can't work out from the article if that's a complete explanation, or more a defence concocted by lawyers.
I heard about this, and the first thing I thought was, "well, this is a shitty idea."
...and that was before the head of the project defended taking $ from Epstein.
In other words, it’s a dating app for eugenics—the disturbing ideological practice of systematically discriminating against people based on genetic qualities judged to be undesirable or inferior.
The app is being developed by a team of geneticists led by George Church, who, in the same interview, defended accepting money for his lab donated by convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Denying them birthright citizenship is not just unconstitutional. It’s racist.

I can't even work out why they put that subheading that way round. The article is explicitly about the finding that it's unconstitutional. Even for people who might want to deny race as a factor, or even the existence of racism (the "I'm not racist but" people), the race factor is not a surprise and not new.
