    CBC has a nice story today on a Sesame Street-esque show run by an indigenous Mohawk community in an effort to keep the Kanien:kéha language from dying out by introducing it to young kids

    Seems it's helping to communicate their culture while also promoting use of the language at home!

    Well, yeah, of course introversion is common in Seattle. It's grey and foggy and rainy half the time, and the other half it's not foggy.

    I want to go to there.

    Well, maybe right outside there. I dont think I can get the country out of me at this point.

    Gascon in Los Angeles has some big plans, yeah

    The DAs are suing to keep him from implementing them, I believe

    Yeah, I was reading about this recently, there has been massive pushback against Gascon by DAs, judges and cops.

    Tish James is the Attorney General of New York

    And she's suing the NYPD for being shitty, racist, and violent.

    So how long until Tish James ends up "killed in a carjacking" that the NYPD doesn't investigate one iota?

    I'm gonna say, if that kid is as dumb as I was at his age, he may have just been doing it to "fit in" and be seen as cool.

    But also fuck that, because intent doesn't matter for that kind of thing. These are people celebrating his taking of a human life, and even if he's just trying to be seen as cool, it's monstrous. I'm of mixed minds about how they should deal with him because of Covid, but I'd imagine being held in jail or holding until his trial is reasonable at this point.

    Assuming of course those black men don't turn out to be cops.

    He should be “made an example of” in much the same way white supremacy has “made examples” of so many in this country.

    It seems like it should be easy to ensure the wheels arent on the same axis as the recoil?

    I bet if the trucks are well lubricated and the rolling surface is smooth enough then the recoil should overcome friction. Maybe not from a pistol, but I'm sure a rifle would.

    There is no way in hell you are hitting whatever you're aiming at on fucking roller blades.

    Cops have bad enough aim when their feet are actually planted on the ground.

    White guy fires on cops with shotgun, arrested alive. The cops didn't even shoot back.
