@davidaugust@mastodon.onlineSomeone pointed out that the image of the bullets from the shooter in Dallas today seems to be wet but it didn’t rain in Dallas today.
I wish I could ask JFK if there have ever been any inconsistencies around shootings in Dallas.

@nelson@tech.lgbtI recently started going to a gym and it's mostly chill but there's these guys who seem to have 100% fascist wardrobes. Every t-shirt they wear is a picture of a gun, or a Punisher logo, or an American flag with bullets instead of stripes. Our culture has a sickness deep in it.

@tarah@infosec.exchangeFolks, @…, @…, Nathan Case, and I wrote up a short paper on protecting your organization from Iranian threat actors in cyberspace, and it has some simple bullets to focus in your attention on what we think the most likely …
@hllizi@hespere.deSeems like the bullets are only flying from one side after all.
@frankel@mastodon.top
@hex@kolektiva.socialOh right, his solution is "let them eat bullets."
@shellheim@social.linux.pizzaThis shooting has been the most 21st century-esque political assassination yet. "You are gay if you read this, LMAO" wrriten on bullets. What the hell.

@gwire@mastodon.socialIt's odd that news outlets put out stories yesterday saying that cops said that the bullet casings in the Utah shooting were engraved with “transgender and antifascist ideology” but then no gave updates on this.
(Some online speculating that the law enforcement professionals may have misinterpreted the codes stamped into bullets by the manufacturer?)

@hex@kolektiva.socialAnd when I'm talking about understanding the drives to violence, I did write about something similar recently.
https://write.as/hexmhell/algorithmic-violence
The drives behind this and the shooting last week are pretty radically different, but there's some overlap. People like Kirk are part a huge political machine slowly crushing people all over the world. There's a hopeless rage that would naturally drive even the most calm person to the edge of violence. You can't look at the world honestly and be OK. We want to do something. We want to react. But everything we do is silenced or must rmain silent. So it's easy to understand why someone might choose violence. Very different situation, but everyone is subject to the same national and international influences.
I don't promote violence, not because I disagree with it but because I think it's expensive. It takes time to plan, especially for those trying to get away. Guns are not cheap, nor are bullets, nor is the range time you need to get somewhat good under pressure. It's not cheap for the person doing it, and it's not cheap for the community that has to clean up. The community will face police repression (which, if we're honest, was gonna come anyway). The community will have to post bail, will lose a person for a while, will need to support the family, will go to hearings, will write reports, will do interviews.
Sun Tzu said that deploying one soldier to the front takes 7 in the field. Logistics are a huge invisible cost. Some of that time and energy could be reused. It's never bad to be armed and able to defend if needed. But a lot of that energy and time would be better spent planning a community pantry, a tool library, organizing a union, etc. We are living in a disaster, and we need to invest in thriving through the next crumble.
Kirk is replacable. They're almost all replacable, because they don't really care about human life. We do, so none of us are. It's not really a worth while trade, IMHO.

@jswright61@ruby.socialI love this App!
These people are too classy to even hint at this but if you like them and what they do - consider leaving a 5 star review in both the Mac & iOS app stores, and if you have positive things to say, write a quick 2 paragraph review - the buzz helps.
