Yes, but school shootings are normal now, and we become desensitised to the tragedy. Seems there is less violence in video games .., and more on the news channels with gory videos that anyone can watch 24/7. It's attention-grabbing and may get a desired response from people.
"The sad part is there are so many daily tragedies in this current administration, there is no room for today's tragic school shooting to stay in the news." - some dude on MSNBC just now.
IMO a sandwich from Subway is far better as a righteous projectile than as a viable lunch option.

Dr. William Foege, 89, who helped end smallpox in the 1970s, recently wrote: RFK Jr.’s “words can be as lethal as the smallpox virus.” And his actions are more lethal still. He’s waging war on America. That’s an impeachable offense. He must be removed from office. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/h...

1. The president is cheating. His tariffs are pushing up the price of everything, which means inflation remains high, which means interest rates remain high. But instead of rethinking a ruinous national sales tax, which is what tariffs are, he’s bullying those who set interest rates.
Oh, and the estimate to build is always too low and never accurate. Need 24/7 work, pay the proper workers, not the stupid managers doing nothing and lying to give value for money.
Try HS2 fiasco trains. BR was national, did not maintain well. Network Rail as now named, took over, private train Co, or train op Co TOC, lease track and trains. Now going back to got when franchise ends.

Palestine hosted all races way before artificial 1947 creation. Seems Zionism is on a par with ISIS, Taiwan, Fundamental religious fanatics, all extreme. Note lack of USA integration of ethnic groups until 1960s. Again we going backwards worldwide now. Question is why, how, where, when
Nope apparently conflict is mot happening in Gaza, mm so the Holocaust was real and horrible, but not as bad as Gaza now. Wake up world
how to make a solo metal album: - record yourself freestyling drums for an hour - overdub with a guitar on max gain - scream a bit about philosophy - if "symphonic", bonk around on a casio - 100% reverb on the entire mix - chop into 3-10min chunks - logo + castle art + ship it
World needs impending meteorite to wake us up, currently descending into chaos in the 21st century and not kerning from 2pth century wars conflicts
