If found with a gun, it gets confiscated and they get arrested/charged. 

Gun buyback and outlaw gun ownership unless you can prove a significant need for one (safety from wild animals, etc.). Nobody needs guns. 

Republicans and news media (particularly local news stations looking for eyeballs for the 5 o’clock newcast) have largely succeeded in convincing Americans—even moderate and a lot of left leaning ones— that crime is worse than ever and your kid isn’t safe walking a quarter mile from the nearest bus stop, even though…

Everything about this is astonishing.  It was just last month that Biden and centrist, moderate Democrats, bent over backwards to scrap D.C.’s rational, badly needed overhaul to its criminal laws because of racist fear mongering and worries that they would be perceived as “soft on crime” (lol) in 2024 (LOL) if it went…

there is literally nothing Beshear can do. he is dealing with a veto-proof Republican supermajority legislature. the only thing that can change any of this is action by their constituents, but they love their fantasies of armed rebellion against the federal government more than the lives of their children and friends.

I’m pretty sure mass shootings have occurred before social media, but go off Professor. It’s weird you’re blaming “liberals” when you also say gun laws won’t do shit. Who is asking for them then, conservatives? Then you say, “it is what it is,” resigning yourself to accepting mass violence, offering nothing to the…

how much longer can we endure this

Women have other problems besides abortion, namely Republicans.

Yeah! Let’s talk about the pressing issues that are really on women’s minds: Hunter Biden’s laptop, the armies of violent, woke, militant trans people and arming Pre-K school children.

Yeah let’s just get off of it ladies. Can’t we talk about the scary Mexicans you saw when you were driving to Starbucks this morning?

Concert: sing along. It’s encouraged, unless it’s intended to be a specially quiet, intimate song (and even you can, as long as it’s not making it hard for others to hear the singer).

At Linda McCartney’s memorial service the surviving Beatles came together to perform “Let it Be” in her honor, and the story goes that the moment they started playing what was meant to be a very personal tribute to Linda, everyone in attendance joined in, unbidden, like it was a singalong. As a result, the Beatles…

A “Bodyguard” musical? It’s nice that somebody made my own personal hell on earth. I can understand why singing along to “I Will Always Love You” might be considred impolite, but they would have effectively drowned out my screams.

I had the same experience a few months ago at Moulin Rouge. Two assholes directly behind me sang Every. Damn. Word. of every pop song in the show. Multiple people told them to shut up. It made no difference. It honestly ruined the show for me because you could never focus on the performances on stage because Becky and…

Bitt’rsweet mem’ries / Yond is all I am taking with me

Concerts, shows, even movies these days are a “no thanks” for me. People post-Pandemic are getting awful. If this is the ‘new normal’, no thanks. I’m there for the show, not the side-show.

When I saw Jersey Boys there was a woman behind me who would not stop singing along to all the songs. It was infuriating. People really don’t know how to act in public anymore.  

Historically speaking, the concept of the theater audience being silent non-participants in the play is relatively new. Who among us has not read the rousing accounts of barely literate Englishmen singing along to "" I Shalt Always Love Thou" during performances at the Globe Theater? 

“Two women were forcibly pulled out of the theater by security”

Ron DeSantis is this realities version of Transmetropolitan’s The Smiler and I will not be comfortable in life until he’s out of office in Florida AND defeated in his bid for the White House.
