Yes, this is a tragic and complex way to have averted a mass shooting but that appears to be what happened. After being shot non-critically it appears the shooter lost their nerve, threw their rifle in a bag and tried to run/rejoin the crowd.

I’ve been bracing myself for the disgusting politics to hit. Like I can feel right wing pundits hand wringing to show the armed protesters ‘have no idea how to handle guns.’

Adding fuel to the fire, we had a shooting last night at a multicultural festival where three were killed, one being 8 months old.

Yeah, I’m afraid it’s just the same as lack of concern over digital privacy. I don’t want to diminish the bravery but I’m sure a lot of them aren’t considering how easy it would be for trump co. to use pictures months down the line to identify protesters.

Talking with friends today I expressed that someone or more will die tomorrow during this. I feel guilty to hope that it’s heat exhaustion/dehydration. I’m not against strategic escalation but I’m terrified that indiscriminate violence will play into fascist’s hands. Now is the time to be paranoid about digital habits. We must show our strength without losing the public’s support.

Anark video on Lemmy? Fuck yeah.

MFW I’m on my 3rd vodka redbull of the night but “I’m not an alcoholic.”

I was actually told “you should get a car. Be a man.” by an angry driver. I was just stunned to hear something so stupid and cringy said.

Even if they do this, I wouldn’t be averse to a less on demand version of youtube. 3rd party apps will let you load a number of videos for later viewing. Would probably help me consume media more responsibly and youtube has to deal with the additional resources needed to serve all the videos I didn’t wind up watching after all.

Hot pockets are evil. Why can you eat an infinite amount of them and never feel full?

FYI fecal transplants are a thing and they address unhealthy microbiomes in the body. Someone else’s shit could literally save your life from a c diff infection.

We’ve got shirts for this in Salt Lake City. They read “SL,UT”
