quote:

The St. Paul Police Department held an award ceremony this week to honor Alex Mingus, a Minnesota resident who performed “an act of gallantry and valor” in response to a shooting. But upon accepting the award, Mingus called out the lack of police action on the scene.

On October 8, 2021, Mingus was on his way to work when he heard gunshots at a gas station, St. Paul Interim Police Chief Jeremy Ellison said during the ceremony, originally recorded by On Site Public Media. A van sped away from the scene, and Mingus followed it. The van then pulled over, and a man got out, asking for help, Ellison said. “He was bleeding profusely.” Mingus, who said he is a certified firearms instructor, wrapped the man’s wound in a shirt to try and stop the bleeding. “Doctors stated that the aid provided by Alex prevented this man from dying,” Ellison noted.

After accepting a medal, Mingus took the podium and removed his sweatshirt to reveal a shirt with the words, “SMASH WHITE SUPREMACY.” Then, he turned to address the police directly: On the day of the incident, he said, nine police squad cars “raced” past the area where Mingus was assisting the gunshot victim. “That was a potential of 18 people—18 people could have stopped to help preserve life,” he said.

While Mingus said he appreciated the recognition, he felt “very uncomfortable” being there. “I do not rock with the police,” he said.

“I just want folks to know,” he said, looking into the camera, “They don’t keep us safe. We keep us safe.” After a pause, he added, “Riots work.”

Devils advocate says that Disney was right and true when Walt was running it, but then (((management))) forced his family out. It’s a pretty easy argument for the white supremacists. In fact it’s a pretty deft bait and switch to substitute Jews when they mean capital.

How can you be nostalgic for Pokémon cards when it literally never went away and is more popular than ever.

Maybe it would be nice if people realized the real reason things suck now is because no one has any money and not because we aren’t carrying Tamagotchis like when we were 10.

You said this in response to a tweet of millennial nostalgia. In the 90s Gen X was smoking clove cigarettes at the coffee shop on campus trying to avoid graduating into the Bush (the first one) recession, not playing nintendo or tamagotchi.

Oh no, I watched worse reply all usage once. Back in the early days of the Internet my college sent out an anonymous sex survey to a bunch of students with instructions to send the replies to a different address. A bunch of people just hit reply all and managed to send out all the intimate details of their sex lives to every randomly chosen person on the list before the study people frantically shut down the mailing list to block that. Regrettably I was a good boy and just deleted the replies unread after laughing maniacally; I missed a golden opportunity to try to get a date by walking up to people and saying “So, I saw you’re into some kinky poo poo!” :D.

If new retro wave/vaporwave was a sign of gen x's weird obsession, prepare yourself for the return of grunge, pop punk, third wave ska and nu metal.

Sorry man pop punk is dead and it’s just tiktok people who couldn’t make it any other genre dumping their pop poo poo into the scene now. It’s way more pop and way less punk.

Edit: I’m typing this between sets at a concert right now. Home Team just finished, Real Friends is next. The opener was Taylor Acorn who is some tiktok person who went viral with a cover of a pop punk song so she ditched her 5 year country singing “career” and pivoted to pop punk. gently caress MGK for paving the way.
