Random News (not Politics) Thoughts

This is a fascinating case. It's more puzzling because the culprit appears to have come from a wealthy family himself. I'm sure they could easily have paid out of pocket for any health care this guy needed.

It's going to be fun watching the corporate and political hypocrisy surrounding this case. The media will all be against him (and shocked the public is showing sympathy) because the media is all run by corporate giants. Free speech advocates (like Musk) will probably censor any online support. I mean preach hate against most minorities all you want. But leave uber-wealthy alone! Politicians will roundly condemn and seek maximum legal consequences in order to keep wealthy corporate donors happy.

I have not seen any Trump, champion of the little guy (lol) comments so far. I think Trump knows that his base will probably love this guy, but with himself being cut from exactly the same cloth as the deceased CEO, he probably wants to just ignore the whole situation lest his dumb ass base wake up to that fact.

If you did any reading about the guy whatsoever, you'd know that it looks like he had some bad back injuries in 2022 that reduced his quality of life. Spinal work is expensive and it's likely this was his "altar call" regarding the state of medical care in the USA regardless of whether his family was wealthy.

But this is just the initial exploration of his background, more will obviously come out once people really start digging.

He also was apparently not ok with the loss of some of his relatives a few years back.

that first comment though.​

These are those kinds of things that will show us what kind of a world we really live in. Nevermind what the entertainment tells us it is...this is what it is. When the robbers are the barons. Stealing becomes the norm...if you can afford it.

People have had enough.

People are suffering.
Have been suffering.
We're gonna see more people snapping in the next several years.

The coverage has been illuminating in many many ways.

I really think the shooting (and other things like it) might have been inspired by this case in Vietnam.

Truong My Lan: Vietnamese billionaire sentenced to death for $44bn fraud

Truong My Lan started life as a market trader. Now, she has been convicted of stealing billions.

Seriously, not much in the way of outrage about her either. None of these cockroaches deserve any mercy no matter where they are.

I think this will fit here, but if not I'll move it to SFYC thread, but, we were talking about the thing here...

Normally I get outraged when psycho's who kill innocent people get off with a soft sentence after pleading some mental health condition. But I'd be fine with this guy getting off with similar. Of course, that will not happen. The 'nobility' will be demanding his head and their minions will be sure to deliver.

I told my mom this after 5 solid minutes of drone talk.

And just in case the drone stuff doesnt stop people talking about health care. Have a school shooting in Wisconsin. the message seems to be that they can do this all day.

Nothing in the sky will ever be the healthcare they dont want you to have. But then that's the point.​

Years ago I was reading one book about astronomy and in there was a story how in some US city there was a sudden blackout at night. Therefore some people started panicking since for the first time they saw the sky without heavy light pollution. What means that Milky way was all over the sky and now you could actually see it. What was cultural shock for some people.


And at this point Venus should be nicely visible at the sky right after sunset if there are no clouds. The planet should follow the direct trajectory of how the Sun was moving before the sunset. What means that it should be pretty low on the western horizon. To naked eye it looks as one unnaturally bright white star. After all Venus is the third brightest object in the sky after Sun and the Moon.

I am going to try to stop calling the legacy media "mainstream" or even using "MSM" as an acronym.

When youtube channels like The Young Turks have videos with more views than certain CNN segments, it is difficult to keep thinking of CNN as "mainstream."

Maybe Deadstream Media or Painstream Media would be more appropriate nowadays...

Like, honestly, I don't care about them anymore. I stopped watching cable a long time ago, some mainstream mags stopped producing hardcopy years ago, and so forth. And they are toothless and spineless nowadays.

Ah yes, the first reports suggest she was a hardcore right supremacist sort, but now I'm seeing stirrings on social media that MAGA is trying to blame trans people again, somehow.

We care about CEOs but not kids, I guess.

Behold what happens when "real people" die.
The rest of us subhumans should have a fucking heart I guess.
