Wednesday Stuff
David Doel brings us the CNN report on Richard Fierro, who bravely subdued the Club Q shooter...(NSFW/H – I admire Doel’s honesty and total disgust over this situation, and let’s have no illusions trying to deny that garbage like this played a role also...and yeah, this stuff doesn't happen in a vacuum, does it?)...
Update: I know people who are getting ready to move out of this country. Maybe they're onto something (here).
Update 11/24/22: "This is why" indeed (here).
...and Joy Reid interviews Brandon Wolf, a survivor of the Pulse nightclub shooting, and Dr. David J. Johns (when you have so damn many of these mass carnage events that you need to almost have a Rolodex of them, yeah, you’ve got a problem all right)...
...oh, and in case anybody wants to see this garbage in action up close and personal, Maz Jobrani gives us an example of some “Karen” on her bike who got her panties all in a knot over a gay couple (two women) walking in public...try minding your own goddamn business, lady!...
...and Mike Figueredo of The Humanist Report gives us more on “Strip Search Sammy” Alito leaking SCOTUS opinions to right-wing groups (Figueredo mentions the Lochner era, which, until now, was as pro-business a High Court as anyone can imagine - I know I linked to this story on Monday also)...
...and I have to admit that I really went back and forth on whether or not to provide a clip related to JFK, timed for the 59th anniversary of his assassination yesterday (I really didn’t have much to add, to be honest), but Thom Hartmann included these clips from a speech JFK gave about peace at the University of Michigan on June 10, 1963 – always important to remember exactly who and what it was that we lost when he was killed...
...and RIP Danny Kalb of Blues Project.
