Sounds more like a message from a pretty good archer to me.

Reminds me of the old joke about the Christian refusing to leave his house during a flood telling rescuers that God will take care of him, the punchline being God at the Pearly Gates saying “I sent you a cop, a boat, and a helicopter, what more did you want?”

This. Fucking this. I knew my grandma was making regular trips to Israel, she always came back with presents like Halva, (omg), but it wasn’t until I was about 25 that I found out she was going there on mission trips which are illegal there. Israel has a national religion and they ban proselytizing. I found that to be…

I say send the body out like a Viking funeral. Solves many problems at once.

Persecuted?

There is nothing tragic about this. There is, however, some sort of poetic justice. Clearly, God wanted him dead - isn’t that how it works?

Our thoughts and prayers go out to both John’s family and friends

He illegally went to an island KNOWING it was illegal and how that island operates and he could die and did it anyway. Let that be a lesson to anyone else who wants to fuck with people who DO NOT WANT TO BE FUCKED WITH.

You’re just hearing about them more. The first time I heard about someone being SWATted was the mid 2000s. I woke up to three Oakland PD SWAT teams basically driving an AMRAP through my neighbors front door because his ex-gf told them he was running meth lab. There was no meth lab, but they found 3 marijuana plants…

Does anyone have a sense of whether:

This is completely insane.

seriously. she set up to get some work done in the coffee shop. she’s going to buy some coffee and/or donuts at some point.

The only thing the professor is teaching people is that she is a racist dingbat who wastes resources and the town is hiring garbage like those cops who came to take her out of class.

Everyone’s here wondering if the student’s feet were dirty and/or ashy, while I’m still here wondering why the campus police didn’t tell the professor to go fuck herself. This is on par with answering a house call to check for monsters under the bed. “You called us to do what? Because why? Are you for’serious?”

Ridiculous and pathetic. Having ones feet up during a lecture does not mean one has a lack of attention. I used to have my feet up whenever possible — and that was back when I had to take notes on paper. Now with laptops there is no need to be sitting straight up over the desk.

“this isn’t the first or worst instance of abusing an official in her career.”

Can you just admit the umpire may have been at fault here? Because, you know what, he was.

Serena was losing either way (and I suspect she’d agree with that), but it was still the umpire was still being a dick for no apparent reason.

She’s one of the most unfairly criticized, and mistreated athletes in her profession. What you call “worship” others call balancing the scale to the poor treatment she often receives

For real tho’! If I had a food truck in Detroit I’d be there. Remember you heard it here first: if there’s 20-30 food trucks in the area everything will probably be cool, but if there are only 2-3? There could easily be a riot.

I had just moved away from Detroit when it was host to Rosa Parks’ 11 hour long funeral. I know two people who left Rosa’s service to get something to eat and went back.
