‘Appalling And Indefensible’: Elon Musk Incites Rage Online After Claiming No One Is ‘Trying to Assassinate Biden/Kamala’
  • Conservatives love the quote "the shrub of freedom needs to be watered with the blood of parrots from a time to another time", so they've got a healthy dosage of normalizing violence.

    They also LARP about Rome, which had a long and storied tradition of assassination. Famously, citizens of the republic were encouraged to strangle anyone who tried to become King... right up until they didn't.

    Anyway, the Romans weren't always monsters; they just usually were.

  • Cops bust furious NYC driver accused of stealing tow truck with own pickup attached
  • The penalty will amount to several thousand dollars. Especially in NYC.

    It's predatory as shit.

    3rd party towing and "storage fees" should be illegal. It should be operated by the city and the parking ticket should pay for the cost the city goes through (not funding the cops)

  • TIL: Our species began in the Bronze Age, when everyone was ripped.
  • I suppose I'm not conflating "rise" with "genesis". Human organizational structure was slow to ramp up and I don't think the bronze age is a terrible place to draw a line and say "this is where things start to heat up".

  • TIL: Our species began in the Bronze Age, when everyone was ripped.
  • I mean... How inaccurate is this, really?

    I mean, the Neolithic period got people farming I guess, but it's a tough sell.

    Is the issue that the folks are in anachronistic clothing and have gym bodies instead of working bodies?

  • Please be serious. I read the source that I posted; you're not being clever. Cats don't magically show up from nowhere. Our culture around cats enables and feeds the feral population. If we didn't keep cats as pets, and animal control treated them the same way they treat raccoons, then this problem would be dramatically reduced. Probably eliminated, but they might turn into an intractable urban pest.

    ! We estimate that free-ranging domestic cats kill 1.3–4.0 billion birds and 6.3–22.3 billion mammals annually. Un-owned cats, as opposed to owned pets, cause the majority of this mortality. Our findings suggest that free-ranging cats cause substantially greater wildlife mortality than previously thought and are likely the single greatest source of anthropogenic mortality for US birds and mammals. !<

    Unless, of course, you're saying that we shouldn't stop one bad thing because we do other bad things.

    We should rethink our attachments to miniature tigers.
