This is an important message for America. He should stand up and say it publicly. And publish his itinerary in advance.

So… *checks math*, just 13 more? That’s achievable. Let’s do this.

What, do you think the DA doesn’t know what charges they’ll file? Or that the judge in PA is making his judgment on bail based not on stated intentions, but charges that no one has even mentioned?

Neither is the charge for Mangione.

What? People being charged with murder get bail all the time.

Here’s two examples, because I was searching for the second and misremembered his last name as “Perry” instead of “Penny”, but conveniently there was another person subjected to a murder charge who also had a bail set.

I dunno, if I’m on a jury that all sounds like circumstantial evidence to me…

He also apparently gave cops the same fake ID he used at the hostel, despite having four fake IDs. My only guess is the initial escape was to keep the story alive for a week, then he either expected to be caught eventually or intentionally allowed himself to be caught so he could revitalize it and possibly start making public statements.

The Post is very clearly writing this story to say a person who does this is a ridiculous loser, but just makes him sound cool. Also, “ex-Ivy League student” is a really weird way to say “got a masters degree from an Ivy League school”. He’s not a dropout, he finished and then moved to the next stage of his professional life.

This exec was both a clear and present danger and likely to continue killing people, neither of which clearly apply to the homeless dude.

This isn’t just a murder, it’s potentially a statement about how the people who seem to be untouchable in the current social order are very very touchable. If that statement stands, it endangers the social order itself.

Propaganda of the deed (or propaganda by the deed, from the French propagande par le fait) is specific political direct action meant to be exemplary to others and serve as a catalyst for revolution.

It is primarily associated with acts of violence perpetrated by proponents of insurrectionary anarchism in the late 19th and early 20th century, including bombings and assassinations aimed at the state, the ruling class in a spirit of anti-capitalism, and church arsons targeting religious groups, even though propaganda of the deed also had non-violent applications. These acts of terrorism were intended to ignite a “spirit of revolt” by demonstrating the state, the middle and upper classes, and religious organizations were not omnipotent as well as to provoke the State to become escalatingly repressive in its response.

Even when Nixon died, a lot of people tried to come up with nice things to say about him.

They shouldn’t have. Simply being dead doesn’t make you a good person and washing away crimes because they’re beyond personal shaming ignores the benefits of establishing that you can do things that will forever taint your name and legacy.

Another 96% win, because the people just love the dear leader that much.

And maybe the next one will be a little more worried about how many people without anything to lose his actions are creating. If not, then keep going until one does.

Even the nicest most hardworking billionaires you’ve met still never stopped exploiting people. A person can’t make a billion dollars through hard work and ingenuity. You only get that rich by extracting value from the labor of others or inheriting the riches gained through such. They passed the point where they gained little to no benefit from figuring out how they could keep getting bigger numbers and rather than distribute the gains downward and they kept going. They paid money managers to maximize their returns and wash away any concerns about how those investments got so profitable. They paid bosses to hire people at the lowest most efficient wage they could and then fire them when it’s more efficient. They may even be contributing some of that ill-gotten wealth to philanthropic enterprises. Not enough to impact their life, naturally, but some. The best will even promise to give it all away. Not now of course, when they die. Until then, they deserve it all and get to decide which ills are sexy enough to be worth contributions.

And when you meet them at a mixer or a promo event or wherever it is you do, they’ll be happy friendly people. Because why wouldn’t they be? They’re sitting on a dragon’s hoard of wealth extracted from the work of others, with every freedom and luxury, and a fawning entourage and friendly media ready to continually say how nice and special they are.

Yeah, a N of 1 isn’t a valid experiment.

It’s already generating positive change!

That’s Timothee Chalamet. Or one of his lookalikes.

That’s why the lookalike contest was organized and publicized. We now know there are dozens of other people in New York City that look like him, so is it really beyond a shadow of a doubt that you identified the right person? The guy in the photo might even be a decoy.

Not just that, but a mega merger that Biden and Harris opposed! This isn’t a Democratic politics position. Or even something supported by the steel workers in general. It’s just some specific workers that were in the place that was supposed to get investment after the merger. The “haha, shoulda voted Democratic” reaction is deeply dumb.

So your argument is that he voluntarily backed down from a coup that otherwise would have continued and worked even after the military knew the rest of the government, including those in his own party, rejected his claim? Like he had some earnest change of heart rather than knew it was failing?

Coups aren’t resolved by rules and regulations on who gets to command the military, they’re about whose message gets out as “official” and who the security forces follow, and he was obviously not winning that struggle. There were soldiers on the street apologizing and that the members of parliament even got into the building indicates the security forces weren’t fully on board. The very publicized opposition leader bypassed the restrictions by jumping a waist high fence.

And none of this subjective determination of which individual entity held the most sway in ending the coup matters to anything else in the piece. It’s not even a terribly important question.

I ended up switching insurance and have ended up ‘captured’ within a regional hospital’s provider network. The hospital bought up a bunch of local independent providers in all the different specialities. I’m really unhappy with the continued corporatization of healthcare and the conglomeration of hospital networks - but the ability to call one number, be given a specialist within reasonable driving distance and (in that same phone call) be given an appointment within a reasonable timeframe is just so refreshing!

I haven’t had to test their reaction to more serious issues, where I’ve heard they’re less good, but I’m covered by Kaiser and I like that in a single visit I can get my regular checkup, get my eyes checked, get new glasses, get bloodwork done, get vaccines, and pickup medicine at the pharmacy. For regular care the only thing that would be better if there wasn’t a profit motive involved at all.
