VitalSigns posted:Ah yeah that's the lie, the topic of the event It's like three different lies. It's an acceptable quote for introducing yourself to a group of women who own businesses, where you're specifically talking about how much you suppot women and how much you like the ice cream that one of them makes and sells. Change some of it to 'unintelligible' to reinforce that it's meandering, and move it from a group meet & greet to an official statement to the press corp and declare it to be the official response to a school shooting - those are the three lies.

I know people frequently comment on how deranged gun culture and the pledge of allegiance is, but how common is the "if I die in my sleep please take me to heaven" prayer? I see a lot of US media referencing it as just a thing kids do and it strikes me as another extremely hosed up thing to treat as normal.

That prayer was invented by Metallica in 1991, so it's no surprise it's on the top 5 of most popular kids and tweens prayer lists.

I'm not going to claim I have any knowledge of how widespread the actual prayer is since I can't read minds, but nowadays I'd imagine it's much more of a signifier of "old-time religion" where regular, daily prayers were just assumed to be a part of everyone's routine. A little kid in footie pajamas pleading for God to spare his eternal soul in case of aneurysm was just shorthand for "this is a Good Kid (because he's doing what his parents told him to do)". Like, as an American, I also have only seen it referenced in our media, typically older media, and I had a fairly religious upbringing.

Also from a time when child mortality was high enough that the prayer was probably pretty meaningful.

I said it when i was a kid and, while when i was very little it was probably just something i said because my parents taught me to say it, as i got a little older i realized it’s kinda hosed up.

Reminder that this didn't happen, they just announced the reason they were closing was shoplifting and news media everywhere repeated it without verifying even though it quickly turned out they had always planned to shutter those stores and just wanted to blame customers.

VitalSigns posted:Lol I assumed it wasn't real, just a somewhat exaggerated impression, but it pretty much was It makes sense enough in context when you remember American presidents have to be appear to be empathetic and charming. The introduction makes sense given the crowd, then he singles one of the women to then compliment her product with a kind exaggeration or even a truth. It's corny but it'd play well-enough I guess. I've never liked the idea of a president I can drink a beer with and this is pretty much the same logic. It's a different version of Obama playing basketball or singing Al Green or Clinton and his saxophone. They were just naturally cooler than Biden, so that helped I guess.

Do you know if “fusilade dans une école” is a set turn of phrase or do they literally mean “shooting in a school”? Just curious if that’s settled on.

Fusillade is definitely a shooting. It's used for any sort of mass shooting. I don't think it's quite an idiomatic expression like 'school shooting' but more what you suggested just "in a school", since you can see fusillades occurring in other places. If 'school shooting', is using school as an adjective that describes the shooting, a better equivalent in French would be the literal 'fusillade école' but that's not how how French does, so maybe 'fusillade scolaire' but I don't think I've ever seen that said.

Knight isn’t really that liberal, he’s much more middle-of-the-road/somewhat conservative but because he’s clearly to the left of blood garglers like Leak and other Murdoch cartoonists it’s easy to think of him as decent.

Mark Knight is the cartoonist for the football-centric Herald Sun. He does the premiership football posters and a lot of his cartoons are about sport which I usually don't post (they're mostly thing that happened in football and fine for what they are). He's got that sort of blokey sports style humour that was the style pre-millenium in Australia which means while he's not as far gone as Spooner it also means while he probably wouldn't do it if I had to pick "cartoonist most likely to put a defence of blackface" then Knight would be right up there.
