I thought Bluesky was going to introduce new emoji reactions, but we're still waiting. It is awful to use hearts when we need a screaming or weeping emoji.

Matthew Ruth, another white, rural, MAGA gun loving murderer killed three cops and wounded two others in an ambush at his ex-girlfriends house in Pennsylvania. The weapon was a suppressed AR-15. If he were black or a Democrat we would have a confirmed image for you already. Apologies for reposts.

There is only one person who knows the motive of Tyler Robinson at this point: Tyler Robinson. And, since he is reportedly not talking...any talk of "terrorist networks" being associated with the shooting...are premature... ejaculations.

Charlie Kirk spent his lifeβ€˜s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.
