I am scared for my life right now.
No idea if this is real or not (suspect it is, this stuff does happen), but this is how a lot of real-world espionage and major fraud is committed. If it’s espionage, it’d be for financial info not obtainable another way. If it’s for fraud, it’s for money. Either way, this guy is going to be the stooge and the woman here is setting him up. He’ll take the fall and she’ll disappear into nothing.
Girls reported the shooter’s death and rape threats prior to the massacre and nobody did anything about it, in case you still think the solution is “just report your attacker and let law enforcement handle it.”

The police, in so many ways, will not help you. Especially true if you are a woman.
I piss gun nuts off because I can outshoot every damn one of them but still hate them. I think hostile inceldom and gun nuttery overlap quite a lot — and all of that coincides with tendency to domestic violence. I want absolutely nothing to do with those defective people.
To be fair, I haven’t shot in years. But it’s not a skill that goes away. Man, I used to really love shooting. I just can’t do it anymore, though. Don’t want in any way to be associated with those nutty buddies.
If we’d gotten the Olivia Rodgrigo tickets, I expected to be the oldest one there by at least two decades. But who cares? She’s excellent.
I don’t wish to sound apocalyptic about this, but one has the sense that at present our society is simultaneously characterized by wildly disproportionate accountability for trivial transgressions and zero accountability for profound institutional failure.

Cancel culture* and one million people dead in a pandemic.
*That the libs say isn’t real and “if you don’t believe that, we’ll cancel your ass, buddy!”
The first ten on today’s playlist:
I’m having this trouble with leading my team: when to allow junior people to flail and struggle and when to step into help them. Problem is, I don’t have a lot of time to do training and spend hours on calls with people pointing them in the right direction. At the same time, I don’t want anyone to spend days or longer frustrated with no assistance.
Not bragging, but most often I can solve problems in five minutes that they spend hours or days working on (though it takes much, much longer to lead them through this). But if I don’t let them struggle a bit, they never have a chance of going from “junior” to “senior.” I feel like I haven’t struck the right balance there yet and am still working on it.
3 high school graduations across the U.S. end with gunfire in less than 24 hours.
Greatest country in the world OR WHAT? Am I right?
