someone just self-immolated outside the courthouse

Watch the self immolation be a pro-Palestine protest due simply to the media coverage / attention in the area, which will get completely disregarded as the cause because the media won't cover pro-palestine content, and instead rewritten as a Pro Trump protest

yeah idk what they did it for or if the media is even reporting that, i just saw a couple notifications in quick succession lol. i have an absolutely insane schedule today so i haven't had a chance to read about it yet, but considering it just happened a few minutes ago i wouldn't expect there to be many details yet anyway

looks like a run of the mill nutter. he had a substack and posted an article right before he did it to explain his motivation.

Remember the maga guy in Cincinnati who thought a nail gun could break bulletproof glass and attacked an FBI building there? He was hiding in a cornfield and actively posting when the cops shot him. That's dedication.

My dad was rear end deep into all this weird conspiracy poo poo when I was a kid, pre-internet, but back then it was more like a hobby for those guys. Definitely not something you'd light yourself on fire over. You'd just call Art Bell instead.

conspiracy stuff was kind of fun when you just got little bits of it here an there, and it was stuff like weird people hanging out by area 51 waiting to see a ufo, postulating the purpose of weird shortwave stations, or "aliens walk among us and the hale bopp comet is actually an extraterrestrial ship sent to colonize the earth :tinfoil:"

now it's not only everywhere, all the time, but it's the most banal poo poo imaginable, like politicians having secret child sex dungeons under pizza shops. hearing conspiracy bullshit now just makes my eyes instantly glaze over and my brain start internally screaming "OH MY GOD SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT THE gently caress UP, I DO NOT loving CARE!!!!"

Dimon is, after all, a self-professed “patriotic” CEO who has often advocated the benefits of America’s leadership and principles on a global stage—and said he sees it as part of his role to improve the lives of U.S. citizens.

i hope this makes every american citizen feel better

Agreed, it’s a big reason I don’t see how the king of the hill reboot would work, dale was fun in the 90s but would be insufferable now

(Plus the voice actor died last year :( )
