Between this an the threats about bolasrnaro falling flat the US is looking exceptionally bad at the moment.
Though it's a good thing the threats didn't work. But don't make threats that don't work. Looks weak.

Dark skies are very important for ant conservation. (and also birds and other animals.)
He's been dressing like that for about a year.
I'm just exhausted with the gymnastics of "well if it wasn't an evil leftist then it was someone on the right doing it to frame the left" and not just... infighting in a group of people who have a lot of guns and their share of unstable people who constantly "joke" about this exact kind of violence.
Why is that so hard to imagine?
When I ran with NYRR for years and years I complained that they didn't have enough races in the Bronx. The NYC Marathon has its roots in the Bronx with the work of Ted Corbitt who changed the world of running. But the Marathon route hardly touches the Bronx at all. I always thought it was disrespectful.
But it seems they have added a new 10 mile race in the Bronx!
I wish I could still run, maybe I could walk it next year. It goes right down the Concourse a very pleasant run!
That is a compliment to the runners and race organizers, obviously.
now the great mass of runners are passing, and they fill the street from edge to edge running shoulder to shoulders not so much competing as sweeping each other along. They are like army ants.
I was up early enough (and lucky enough) to catch the tail end of the Bronx 10 mile. The leading man had already just gone by so I stopped to watch hoping for a dog fight amongst the top women. unfortunately, the winner was right up with some men, in perhaps 11th or 10th and the next woman to come along was hundreds of meters back, no chance of a close finish. still a great race. Could I catch the running bug again?
The mild sense of only slightly unwelcome isolation of the middle distance runner.
I don't find the memes "ambiguous" groypers are right wing and they have been mad at Kirk recently. They 'joke' about these types of things.
Disillusioned right wingers attacking their own is a pattern. This could fit into it.
Ask your uncle or coworker what they know about these events, how they have understood them.
A majority of people think that the president was nearly assassinated (twice) by "the left" -- people have largely forgotten the assassination of a Democratic lawmaker. Forgotten that the CDC was shot up just weeks ago, and now the death of a conservative pundit is being blamed on the left as well.
There is a larger pattern here that I'm worried a lot of people are missing.
Or rather there is a big lie that is trying to crystalize.
This is so condescending. Of course they can! In fact, I know fish who are professional chefs!
"Don't you have something you should be fetching for me?"

Unfortunately I've had some run-ins with these people and recognized the non-sense on the casings right away. But more to the point this is one of a few far right communities who have been angry at Kirk and saying violent things about him in the lead up.
Now, to what degree is this just a disturbed man acting out? That's harder to say. All shootings have that element as well.
nah. I'm good brah.
Perhaps some one should run around saying "this is war" after to help focus the attention of the media?
i just want u to know it's ok to ask for help if you need it...
OMG
I think it's more that Republicans see it as bait, and Democrats want to keep a lid on it.
But, if you talk to people they are really into these ideas. They are popular. Rich people hate it!
