18 children who will NEVER sleep in their beds tonight, never see their graduation, never play in their school yards, never see their parents again, nor play with their pets. 3 adults killed. 21 grieving families who will never see their loved ones again. WHAT A TRAGEDY! I hope President Biden signs an Executive Order to halt the sale of ALL ASSAULT WEAPONS!

When George Carlin died in 2008, the stupidity and hypocrisy of the right were so outrageous it was laughable.
Fourteen years later it's not funny anymore.

An incredible and powerful moment, Senator Chris Murphy's speech... (video in article)

Today I dealt with an angry boss, an angry student, and came home to this school shooting news. Just so much anger today. America in 2022, I suppose.

I’m thinking we may be getting an Executive Order banning the sale of Assault Weapons and Accessories tonight.

People who advocate for one marginalized group and then don't care at all about other marginalized groups (or even promote hate) make me sad and rob me of hope.

Or at least make me hope for asteroids.

HiPOD 24 May 2022: A Rising Ridge

This observation focuses a ridge that is standing above the old lava surface of the floor of Echus Chasma. What is this ridge doing here? Is it preexisting material surrounded by lava? Is it material pushed up at a restraining bend? If the ridge is not lava, it may have colorful flanks.

I'm beginning to think we need a supreme - supreme court.
Fuck man, our country is crumbling because our courts have been infiltrated by gqp extremest, and influenced by foreign powers to destroy us from within.

I hate this:

The government wants to sharply reduce the number of wolves in the country.

Sweden's wolf population numbers around 400, which is too big, according to the minister for rural affairs, Anna-Caren Sätherberg, and a majority of MPs in parliament.

SVT News reports that the government is to commission the Environmental Protection Agency to look into the size of the wolf population and how many should be permitted.

But I love this:

Foreign diplomats got together in Stockholm on Tuesday to sow the first seeds in a new urban meadow.

The project aims to boost the number of bees and other pollinating insects, through the planting of large flower beds.

"The preservation of biodiversity is a global task and something we can only achieve with partners," says Germany's ambassador to Sweden, Christina Beinhoff.
