I was genuinely hoping to be dead of natural causes before the “should we treat someone who permanently disables a police robot as a cop killer” question ever came up but I have a real bad feeling we’ll be having that debate before the end of this decade.

And considering how badly the people v property question has been going these last few years I’m not real keen on seeing where my country lands on it either.

The damage in Moore Co NC was extensive, rammed gates, gunfire, by people who knew what to target. Curfew, schools closed, power could be out through thursday.

LOTS of speculation as to who did this, fbi is involved.

In other news, Chris Christie's niece got thrown off a plane after she persisted in asking other passengers she believed to be Latinos whether they were smuggling cocaine.

She became combative, bit one deputy, kicked another in the nads, and got handcuffed to a wheelchair, while pulling a "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO I AM!?"

Oof.

I don’t care how vile a person is or how much I wish for them to be imprisoned. That still doesn’t make prison rape jokes funny or tolerable. We should be better.

@NowImNothing anti-Semitism is not a symptom of autism or of any other neurodivergent state. It's bigotry.

I love seeing these sketch books and thinking about how I can incorporate a sketch book practice. On "Being an Explorer" , by @artistclancy open.substack.com/pub/sueclanc

Last day of art class and a long absent student straggles in, chest heaving, pale and coughing up a lung.I happen to be in the computer/printing room-no windows or ventilation. She enumerates how sick she has been-couldn’t even lift her arms-and still coughing and struggling to breathe. I got up and walked out to the regular classroom.

Who should show up a few minutes later but her, now totally winded from climbing upstairs. I looked at the prof, and he dismissed us.

Hope I don’t get covid.

@Priestess Yeah, I went private when I realized he couldn’t out run his own mouth, downloaded my data, and then ran tweet deleter.
