Just realized I haven’t eaten any food since I woke up 3 hours ago. Coffee and oat milk and chocolate syrup and sucralose, yes, but nothing more https://youtu.be/725WlG1idPc?si=Rve5jdMlOCvw7i7m
I hate linking to anything on meta, but this is the only good source I can find. This is the sorting from this morning in Minneapolis, slowed down and examined from two angles. It clearly shows that an officer had removed the victims gun and walked away with it before they shot and liked him. This is if anything even more cut and dried than the previous shooting.

De BA.3.2 heeft inmiddels de XFG bijgehaald. Geen van deze varianten is dominant, beide zo'n 40%. Maar over twee weken zullen we toch echt een dominante BA.3.2 zien.
