Mangione said during his arraignment, “I don’t know where all that money came from,” referring to “$8,000 in cash [and] $2,000 in foreign currency” that law enforcement claimed was on his person. Prosecution also referenced a “faraday bag” as part of their argument that Mangione engaged in “criminal sophistication”, while Mangione claimed the bag were merely “waterproof”. This was part of a larger argument to deny Mangione bail.

Edit: apologies for the TikTok, but I removed tracking from the URL and it comes from the official CNN TikTok.

“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?

The weapon is a ghost gun – an untraceable, homemade weapon – another law enforcement source told CNN.

The man also had a two-page document railing against the health care industry and suggesting violence is the answer, a police official who has seen the document told CNN.

Just lost $80 to a company who copied another company’s website and just changed the url by a single character. Got hit by a targeted ad, I guess. I say the company is Chinese because their fake package tracking site is in Mandarin. This is undeniable proof. I must now forsake Dengism and denounce the Cee Cee Pee

They don’t usually say it out loud though. This is the exact quote:

Honestly, I'm pro-genocide. Like, it sounds really shitty, but I think that Israel should just drop its fucking borders about where it is now and basically Palestinians can go live in another place…

I swear, if people were less bazinga brained, we’d see less news stories about CP waifus and more actual art created using smaller scale image generation AI that didn’t require entire data centers to run.

It’s a week before the election. Quit browbeating me and go talk to some people who have a chance of listening to you. Or are you actually just a cynical sophist who likes winning arguments more than you do “saving democracy”?

As a programmer, watching the latest Some More News episode on the cyber truck broke my heart. All the support forum titles read like an old Linux forum. Its software bugs all the way down. I’m not a car person but between that and spending $2000 on sensors for my car that the car ran perfectly fine without (for inspection purposes), I’m beginning to think we’ve put too much sentient sand into these cars. Oh, and fuck the tendency to replace knobs with touch screens. Horrible design.

I just wanna start DMing a game and I need to buy $150 in books to do so? The fuck.

Edit: Lots of people telling me to play other systems. Here’s what’s up:

  • I want to play a 1-on-1 game with my wife
  • I’ve never DMed before
  • She’s never played a TTRPG, so this would be her introduction
  • She’s been reading a lot of fae-related fantasy, which has me thinking she may want to play roleplay heavy with some fae storylines present
  • Ideally the system wouldn’t be too crunchy or combat focused

Edit 2: I’ve spoken with her and she actually wants a more modern setting

Not fair to the other instances tbh

In terms of cis people seeing a visibly trans person and deciding to asking them random questions, this is way less intrusive than some of the common ones

There are a ton of emergency preparedness plans whose official stance on physically disabled people is to leave them behind. Disability activists have been sounding this alarm for years.

Remember, this is the system that’s supposed to reindustrialize the US and compete with China

Legacy media talking about tankies? Let’s fucking gooooooooo
