he had sent text messages pledging to “fucking murder” shoplifters outside a Chicago pharmacy before later shooting two people to death during racial justice protests in Wisconsin in 2020.

That was before he went to Kenosha.

And honestly, we all knew he did it on porpouse. This is nothing new. Blowing this up and giving it more attention just furthers the right's hero worship of him.

More attention makes it worse. It makes him an Icon and martyr for the white supremacists.

And that's exactly why we shouldn't give him attention and media space.

He is a "right-wing darling" because of articles and documentaries like that. He is triggering a negative reaction from the other side and that's why he's hailed a hero by the right.

More attention makes it worse.

I watched a documentary about swapped twins in Colombia The Accidental Twins.

2 sets of identical twins born in 1988, one pair in rural La Paz and one pair in Bogota. One of the La Paz babies wasn't well and was sent to a hospital in the capital, where the mistake happened.

They grow up as fraternal twins, because they are not very much alike. 20+ years later they somehow run into each other through friends.
Imagine someone tells you "Hey, I met this guy who looks exactly like you" and you check out this guys social media and there are pictures of the guy, looking like you with another guy that looks exactly like your twin brother.

Seriously, such a wild story. Super interesting and heartbreaking at times.

Once upon a time, I was working briefly in a catholic hospital, a childrens and ob/gyn no less.
As I started there, I was looking for the standards of care. All of my other workplaces had folders and folders of these standards outlining common tasks and problems in the field and how to treat them. A common tool of quality management.

The only one I found was on how employees should act and behave in case of accusations of mistreatment and sexual abuse. Against anyone affiliated with the hospital or church. Who is to speak to involved parties and press and what employees are (not) allowed to say and do. Nothing about how to treat or help the patient. Only about keeping harm away from the institution.

Should have left right then and there. But I only made it 6 months anyways.

Why is this waste of space still in the news? And a documentary? Seriously? Can we please ignore him going forward and let him be forgotten, unimportant and inconsequential in a hole, like this litte rat deserves?

So we know who to blame if its close and democracy goes to die in a Mar-a-Lago shitter.

Thanks for the disclosure.

Thank you. I always needed more support than these light and lacy bras can give you, so I was always going for more sturdy ones. But I don't think I ever owned a sportsbra, so your commemt had me stumped. Maybe its time to get one and test it.

This is because the whole calling and writing to references everytime you look for a new job is not a thing in Germany.

It rises and downs same as the sun every day with the rotation of the earth. That has nothing to do with the moon cycle.

Stop being nitpicky and destroy things for others because you have to split hairs.

She was just so great in everything she did. She is one if these people that need an own Wikipedia article for her Awards because they are too many to list in the main entry.

Did you know she played grown Wendy Darling to Robin Williams' Peter Pan in Hook?

This exactly. If you really want to stay anonymous then use a middleman and do it anonymous to the recipient as well.

Everyone involved with the institution, students, parents who pay tuition, teachers, authorities who financially support the institution (...) have a right to know in whose pocket they are.

I hope video links are okay. This one is as good as any picture meme, but with a catchy beat.
My favorite line is
Its a bad move to trust in the wrinkled husk of a satsuma that went off before!

 
 

For some unknown reason this painting somehow always hits me right in the feels.
