The democrats would have tripped over themselves crying about it and appealing to norms and civility and their usual gormless bullshit and Kamala would have eaten shit even harder.

And instead of shouting "read the room!" the DNC consultant and liberal pundit classes would have gone along for that ride because they are just as clueless as their bosses.

My two takes

• Standing school valedictorian, Luigi Mangione, pictured here in holding cell after being arrested on non-standing-school-related allegations

• You may not like it, but this is what peak male living space looks like

Andy Newman is a real NYT journalist, but when I tried searching his latest posts on his page on the NYT website, I couldn't find this (even though other live contributions related to the story were showing up). Unsure if the post is fake, if it was real but deleted, if it just isn't showing up, or if I just can't see it without an NYT membership.

oh wow look at me I'm a human! when do I live? now, clearly. Everyone older than me lived in these descriptive periods of history that define the je ne sais quoi of the everything. I'm gonna tell everyone in the future that I'm living in the "now" time! wowwww, fuck you dickhead, real fucking selfless ain'cha. now we have to deal with the mass confusion every time someone distinguishes between modern[^1] and contemporary.[^2] i want your incorporeal form toyed with by forces unknown to me because you've slightly inconvenienced literally everyone in the modern day. jackass

[^1]: kinda not now technically, depending on context [^2]: definitively now

Better late than never (sorry for part of the leftmost cards being cut in each image)

Anyways death to AmeriKKKA

Edit: All of the pictures have now been uploaded in a better (read: actually readable) quality

Oh wait

Murder makes the intent sound more petty; less important, more personal, and less political than it really is

Assassination indicates political intent and societal effect, and even a sketchy history of skeletons behind the assassinated that led to this

But the cultural hegemonic capitalist lib and con media don't wanna hear anything about such history.

“To the Feds, I’ll keep this short, because I do respect what you do for our country. To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn’t working with anyone,” the document said, according to the official.

It also had a line that said, “I do apologize for any strife or traumas but it had to be done. Frankly, these parasites simply had it coming.”

All his other media that I’ve seen was set to public under the same name. Why is this one different if he intended it to get the most publicity?

UK posters losing their minds right now

I would follow this man over hot coals tbh (parasocial I know)

• losing track of a perp in fucking Manhattan
• the other pic of the perp (with mask up) looks totally different, diff eyebrows, diff backpack, has coat hoodie up instead of sweater hoodie
• dude was just casually outside of McDs in broad daylight while on the run (not innawoods? not moving in the evening?)
• shooter is rich and his family owns a line of retirement homes
• Brian Thompson is a new start, was never CEO of anything before 2021 (father was a grain elevator worker)
• Brian Thompson is also excluded from the past Wikipedia pages of UnitedHealthCare, (apparently not important enough to mention?)
• The only consistent CEO on said pages is Andrew Witty (still CEO now, and was CEO from 2021 along with Brian)
• Andrew Witty also served as CEO of GlaxoSmithKline from 2008-2017, showing a decade of full experience
• Witty was management trainee when he was 19yo, was appointed president of GSK europe in 2003 (at 39 yo), and advised Prime Minister David Cameron 2010-2015. A very experienced fellow!
• UHC's profits were 17B in 2021 and 21B in 2022. Brian Thompson was getting a salary of only 10M per year from 2021-24. This seems like a pretty low profit:CEO wage ratio, but more analysis is necessary
• there was some embezzlement thing where Brian defrauded 17M, Steven Hemsley (executive chariman) defrauded 102M, and Witty defrauded a few million. Brian was set to testify soon. Hemsley took home almost all of the money.
• how did the shooter even know where to find Brian?
