@georgetakei im solidly in the "I'll believe it when i see it" camp

Need to point this out.

As a murderer stabbed a Muslim woman named Dr. Talat Khan to death, witnesses report that 17 Texans pulled out their firearms. 17! The murderer stabbed her, stopped to check her pulse, confirmed she was alive, & went back to stabbing her to death.

And 17 "good guys with guns" did nothing.

A reminder that the "good guy with a gun" myth is a propaganda point to sell more guns. It does nothing beyond an anecdote to save lives.

Texas pediatrician, 52, is stabbed to death by knifeman, 24, who 'came out of nowhere' while she was...

Dr Talat Khan, 52, was sitting with her dog outside an apartment block in Conroe when the killer 'came out of nowhere' and launched himself on the mother-of-two.

@socool it's literally on my list of "things to do today"... for about 5 days now

The multiple Trump indictments are a harsh reminder that none of this would have been necessary if law enforcement -- federal, state, and local -- had held this slimeball accountable for his crimes in New York over the decades.

One reason they didn't is that our top "news" media organizations treated him like a celebrity. They mostly ignored what a crook he was -- and that extended well into his presidency.

When the prosecutors and the journalists collaborate in this evil way, evil prevails.

Sorry, did I slack something incomprehensible to your CEO?

@barnetboy it needs a companion tome documenting the suffering and endurance of people who have read it.

@acousticmirror @flockofnazguls I'm mixture of instruments played wrong and chains on cymbals
@Defiance OMG Thank you!! I was a fan of Pop Pa Svenska many years ago. More recently, I was listening to Stereolab and something reminded me of Komeda; but, I couldn't remember the name of the band. It's been driving me nuts!
