What is this fresh hell?
"Gotta make the hallways curved so the shooter's line of sight will be disrupted!"
"Have you tried addressing the fact the shooter can exist at all?"
"Oh heavens no, we're instead incorporating this depressingly common but uncommon event into the very planning of our multimillion dollar building instead"

This is somehow even more dumb

quote from the news article but also touched on by the video
> Bolsonaro has rejected the data from his state agency while blaming opponents for staging the fires to hurt his image.

He fired the last director of INPE after criticizing agency statistics showing an increase in deforestation in Brazil.
you know, because Brazilian Trump does the same and starts blaming others with no evidence to support it

@TimStone good point from someone in the comments section:

America is fucked

@TimStone I mean, it's not like there is only one school in the entirety of the USA. A school shooter might just as well go to a school in the next town over

I'm not sure of the statistics but I assume most school shootings are by students or ex-students of said school? Or people in some way related to the school

David Hamilton Koch (; born May 3, 1940, died August 23, 2019) was an American businessman, philanthropist, political activist, and chemical engineer. He joined the family business Koch Industries, the second-largest privately held company in the United States, in 1970. He became president of the subsidiary Koch Engineering in 1979, and became a co-owner of Koch Industries, with older brother Charles, in 1983. He served as an executive vice president until his retirement in 2018. Upon retirement in June 2018 due to health issues, Koch received the title of Director Emeritus. Koch is an influential...

No one except the DA, grand juries, literally every other police department that'll take you in after you're "fired" for literally killing someone.

Hmm the David Koch news is complicated because on the one hand the Koch brothers funnel millions of dollars into causes that are destroying the planet and society but on the other hand they were nice to my dad…and that's a lesson in how spheres of influence work, folks 🤔

> Highlighting the point, there was a delicious snippet in last year’s PBS documentary, “Park Avenue: Power, Money and The American Dream,” which drew on material from Gross’ book. A former 740 Park Ave. doorman dished to director Alex Gibney about the most tight-fisted residents and dared to name names.

The worst offender was oil baron David Koch, co-founder of Koch Industries, who has an estimated worth of $36 billion.

“We would load up his trucks — two vans usually — every weekend for the Hamptons . . . multiple guys, in and out, in and out, heavy bags,” said the employee, his face in …
Maybe that'll help.

> "The district now includes Kingwood, Humble, and Atascocita in northeastern Harris County, then loops around northern and western Houston before moving toward the center of the city roughly following Interstate 10. The district will pass through Memorial Park, before turning south and capturing the strongly Democratic Montrose, Rice University, and parts of Braeswood."
Kingwood is very conservative and I believe Humble is too.
Basically those areas and north Houston and along Beltway 8 down to I-10 make up enough conservatives to silence the strongly Democratic downtown areas of Montrose and Rice.

@Yuuki Yeah, the idea of Gerrymandering is that you fill as many districts as you can with a slight voting advantage to you so that you have a maximum of opposite side votes in districts you're going to win

> ....all deliveries of Fentanyl from China (or anywhere else!). Fentanyl kills 100,000 Americans a year. President Xi said this would stop - it didn’t. Our Economy, because of our gains in the last 2 1/2 years, is MUCH larger than that of China. We will keep it that way!

> The common denominator is a claim that we should focus broadly on Kentucky instead of narrowly on Davis. Yet Davis provides no legal authority for that proposition. We can find none. And we know why: that's not how qualified immunity works, and that's not how constitutional rights works.

@TimStone Awesome. Equal rights still aren't explicit as to which groups they apply to, though, correct?

Right, the government continues to remove protections for i.e. trans individuals largely unabated, unfortunately
