Without a spacecraft. Or a suit.

In just 10 more years, it’ll only be 40 more years!

Only ten more years, and we’ll have it!

Honestly, even that is being too generous.

Programming has this crazy mystique of being something that only “smart” people do, but it’s not. Software development is much, much more like a more conventional ‘trades’ job. I’ve been writing software for 15 years, and I feel like I have more in common with plumbers and electricians than I do with doctors or engineers.

To be fair, a lot of left wingers think that about Jimmy Fallon too.

Wow… I can see all the way to his spacetime duodenum…

Do no harm (to quarterly earnings)

What, what? 0.5% of our brains are plastic? That’s absolutely insane. What the actual fuck…

Psycho mantis??

Really? Dude seems like a pro to me.

He has 30+ years of criminal defense experience, and clearly has some media training (which let’s face it, that’s going to be critical in this case in particular).

The guy has even successfully appealed the PA supreme court. What more are you looking for in a defense lawyer, exactly?

Who exactly do you think voted for Trump? lmao

What the fuck?

The thing is, most people aren’t celebrating this as “murder”, they’re celebrating it as self-defense.

Imagine someone walks into your home and starts waving a gun around, threatening to kill your kids. It’s completely uncontroversial that in that situation, you have a right (perhaps even an obligation) to defend yourself and anyone else in immediate danger.

Now imagine instead you’re in a hospital room, and your kid has an autoimmune disease that’s shredded their lungs. A ventilator is the only thing keeping them alive while they wait for a lung transplant. The same guy comes in, but instead of waving a gun around he says he’s going to unhook the ventilator. Why is this different? Why do you have a right to defense in one situation and not the other? Sure, CEOs aren’t literally walking into hospital rooms and pulling plugs, but Charles Manson didn’t walk into homes killing people and we all agree he deserved to be convicted of murder. They’re directing subordinates and directing systems to kill people, on purpose.

The working class is under siege by people who are willing to sacrifice our lives in the interest of corporate profits. We have a right to defend ourselves.

In all fairness, those pictures are what, eight days old at this point? I’m willing to bet Luigi hasn’t had a whole lot of opportunity to pluck his brows since then.

To paraphrase George Carlin: they call it the American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe it.

I wouldn’t take a “not guilty” plea as evidence of much.

Pleading “not guilty” is the only way to get in front of a jury, which is probably the best chance he has at this point — both in terms of staying out of jail and in terms of boosting his message.

A trial will inevitably become a media circus, and a media circus is great if your goal is bringing attention to your particular ideology.

The terrible genius of capitalism is that it can commodify anything, including criticism of capitalism itself.

Maybe he had additional targets he planned to pursue?

Can anyone give even a bad reason for a reward this high that doesn’t involve the wealth of the target?

The case is now extremely high-profile, so the longer it goes unsolved the more embarrassing it is for the agencies investigating. (Good.)

Pizza parties for everyone!
