Did it get breached? I’m reading some places that the shooter was stopped far from the event, on a different floor of the hotel, outside of a security check he would have had to get through to get to the event.

Large News orgs like the NY Times and kind of indie news like The Intercept have official encrypted channels for sending tips. I would send to 2-3 large news orgs, maybe a half dozen small ones. Tell all of them the whole thing will be dumped on Twitter in some time period so they should rush to get ahead of it.

TIL that song is by Queen. I had no idea. So definitely an appropriate song for this discussion!

The bullet could have hit the podium, which caused a bunch of bits to blow off, one of which cut his ear.

Edit: I read this theory in the reporting when it happened, and it was never really addressed or officially denied or dismissed later on.

Unconfusable:

Ready, Set, Go!

We should explore space with semiautonomous robots. We can do space exploration at maybe a quarter of the cost of sending humans to do it.

Flood Mars with exploratory rovers for years. Then mining robots. Then manufacturing robots. Have them build facilities that build more robots to expand the process exponentially .

Then, if we decide it’s even worth it at that point, have them build a city and send people.

I went to Paris once, and despite everything I had heard my whole life, if you start off with a Bonjour and end with a Merci, in between, the locals are almost all perfectly happy to speak English with you.

I’m sure I say these things with a thick American accent so they all know not to continue too much further in French.

When the rules do not apply to you, you have to keep on publicly demonstrating this or else you lose it.

I vote for the side that doesn’t raise an army of lawless unaccountable masked gunmen raiding homes without warrants and executing people in the streets.

But the two parties are just the same!

Why so sure? Giuliani was. Chesboro was. Jenna Ellis had her license suspended.

The point is that banning the export of US oil would cause oil to stop being a globalized commodity (in the US.) US production and US consumption have not changed since the Iran war started. But US prices are up since US production is being shipped to places where their supply from Hormuz is cut off.

Other responder said that US refining can’t refine US oil, which would be extremely odd and I hadn’t heard that before but if true would indeed destroy my logic here.

Trump could ban US oil export. That would bring the price of gas down here.

He won’t do that.

Automakers have billions of dollars in brand new EV manufacturing equipment and lines sitting around doing nothing since the new administration changed all the regulations and incentives.

When he says anything will happen in 2-3 weeks, he means the next news cycle in 2-3 weeks should distract you from his total failure to do what he said.

If he was on trial for an unsolved murder he could have plausibly been present for, and the murder relates to the description he wrote in his book, yes absolutely the fact he wrote about similar murders should be presentable to the jury. Of course it should! How would that not be relevant?

I would not think that it would be enough to convict on its own but absolutely it could be supporting evidence.

Had he not already been acquitted, OJ Simpson’s book “If I Did It” should absolutely have been admissible as evidence against him in the murder trial even though he put the word “If” in the title

I did not see a single April fools joke this year

A defendant’s statements should not become inadmissible in court just because they are expressed in the form of rap lyrics.

Lol what did he say about them?

In my experience Microsoft Copilot is wildly inaccurate about facts describing aspects of Microsoft software products like Teams, or even Microsoft Copilot itself.
