mistaking the power to kill for the power to create life, a common misunderstanding

on a similar note my son's school did an ALICE drill a couple weeks ago and is now regularly having nightmares about school shooters. he's 8 years old.
My son (now 12), had one last week and came home just absolutely overwhelmed and really sad. Took some prying before he finally opened up and told us about the active shooter drill and how much the idea of it scared him.
Fucking great country we've got here, indeed.

Classic Twitter thread:
@AskLyft My Lyft driver drove off with my pet cat still in the car. I was taking my cat to a vet appointment, I was sitting behind the driver and had the cat carrier on the floor of the passenger side back seat.— palash pandey (@palashp40616755) September 30, 2023

genuine calamity followed by people in the replies seeking the death penalty for the lyft driver and possibly his later passengers. not very cool

All that aside, thankfully the cat has been found.

the real action was the post on the Austin subreddit, they're who told him to take his plea to Twitter... he has now vowed revenge upon whoever tried to steal his cat

Turn off your cell phones on October 4th. The EBS is going to "test" the system using 5G. This will activate the Marburg virus in people who have been vaccinated. And sadly turn some of them into zombies.— gina shirah (@GinaShirah81815) October 1, 2023

Sliving is a term coined by Paris Hilton, defined as “slaying” and “living” simultaneously. In this video, you will see. ... more.

someone on the other site was complaining that there’s nowhere to react in realtime to political and news events like twitter and you know what? maybe not everything needs a realtime tweet opportunity. maybe that breaks my brain and I can just read a little summary later or decide not to read about stuff

I'm always like a year late watching the popular TV shows. Real time commentary on politics is all I have.

kinda hypocritical of us to be criticizing on a site named I Love X
― symsymsym, Wednesday, 4 October 2023 02:51 (seven months ago) link
I mean the way you get super emotional about sports and sorta live and die with it while it's on is sorta what Twitter did to all our brains with politics, except politics is real shit that affects your day to day life and news is 24 hours now so there's no reprieve. I think there's a good chance a study would find that being a regular Twitter user was terrible for your mental health
― frogbs, Wednesday, 4 October 2023 03:03 (seven months ago) link
iirc Twitter never figured out how to “replay” a moment in time, like if you were watching sports or news after the fact and wanted to see how people were reacting, would have been cool

― jaymc, Wednesday, 4 October 2023 14:09 (seven months ago) link
Seriously, we're in the midst of this unprecedented historical moment where there are thousands if not millions of real-time reactions to literally every public event that could theoretically be collated into some sort of easily-referenced online gestalt. I'm always looking for instances of this from the past (e.g. culling multiple contemporaneous news sources about a pre-internet event) to get a broader view of the event/construct a coherent timeline of causes and effects, etc. Squandered promise, thy name is the WWW.
― Prop Dramedy (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 4 October 2023 14:55 (seven months ago) link
facebook doesn't do a good job of this either even for your own posts; difficult to go back and search dirctly by day, or month, or anything. that always seemed like a no-brainer feature to me.
