We are 127 days into 2023.

Denmark has had 0 mass shootings.

The US has had 186 mass shootings.

It's the guns.

A while ago, I read about the psycholgical effect that kicks in when someone tries to fight for a good cause, but then makes a tiny mistake.

We are very hard on hypocrisy because our brains like when things add up.

I.e. a climate activist with a plastic cup triggers much harder than Elon taking a 5 minute flight in his private jet every other day.

The first feels wrong, while the second just meets our expectations.

Truly astounding to me how many people there are out there worried about being punched just because folks are talking about punching nazis.

Let me clue you in on a little history? Pretty much every waking moment between about 1941 and up until roughly the late 80's, everyone thought it was okay to punch nazis. It was so okay, running them over was a joke in the Blues Brothers movies. Guess what didn't happen? A chaotic mess of people punching folks who aren't nazis.

You're telling on yourself.

Brian Kemp just signed a bill into law allowing removal of local prosecutors from office

🚨 In 2022, Republicans managed to take control of the U.S. House...barely. In 2024, Dems can flip it blue again; we just need to net a half dozen seats.
