“I think a lot of questions on parents’ minds are, why a teacher would be pointing a loaded firearm at the ceiling in front of students,” said Diffenbaugh. “Clearly in this incident protocols were not followed.”

You know, we’re smart enough to remove dangers like wasp nests in our yards - for our children - but not smart enough to figure out if guns are dangerous we should maybe have not have as many of them around.

This could be pure wide-eyed optimism on my part but having seen police at press conferences, I would bet that this was a statement of fact and not a defense of the incident or an attempt to control the narrative. If a reporter asked “Was the student shot?” the factual answer here is “No, he was injured in a shooting…

Seaside Police Chief Abdul Pridgen told the Monterey Weekly that the fragments were not from the bullet, but from debris that fell from the ceiling upon the bullet’s impact.

His son returned home with blood on his shirt and the fragments still in his neck. - WTF?? This whole situation is unacceptable and highly disturbing. I really feel for people with kids in school. These days must be so scary for parents. I’m glad this kid was okay, but that teacher should NOT be teaching anymore.

And let’s see how the gun nuts react to their “good guy with a gun” being yet again revealed to be more a dipshit with a gun.

“Jamaican songwriter Flourgon (real name: Michael May) has sued Cyrus for $300 million, alleging she ripped off his 1988 song “We Run Things,” according to a report by Reuters.”

Interesting. I have resting frowning/bored/bitch face most of the time. I think I’d prefer for people to always think I’m smiling than frowning. If you’re a celeb/royal, though, it’d probably come in handy.

Willfully stupid should hurt.

If we’re spending so much money on space, why did I spend my morning on the phone with my senators/representative asking them to give more money to NASA and not cut WFIRST?

Hi so I’m from San Diego and watching the local 5 o’clock news from our Fox News-adjacent station (KUSI). The coverage for Trump’s visit has been predictably (and yet still overwhelmingly) masturbatory. It is so fucking gross.

I live in San Diego, and I was out taking a walk at lunch the last time Obama was here, and I saw Air Force One departing from the nearby Marine Corps Air Station. I was like, “Oh, cool. Obama’s in there.”

“Can we get that one with some gold leaf on it?”

I’m glad he clarified that the Space Force is like the Army but for space...because I seriously for a moment thought he was venturing into grammar enforcement.

Anyone find that he talks like Master Shake?

The Code 45* team pointed out to me today that the California economy literally depends upon undocumented workers to function.

In other news, THIS:

The rogue power of this whitehouse is a thing of the past; first Donny gets smacked down by the powers that be on his gun-control outburst; then Rexxy; now free to speak with Exxon having pulled out of the $500 billion Siberian drilling deal; breaks President Putin’s code of silence. If we hear that Cheeto-boy backs…

Hey, this is the guy that famously got to the bottom of the election interference issue by asking Putin twice if he did it. I mean, sure, he might lie once, but two times? Never.

We should have a new force called the Space Force. It’s like the Army and the Navy, but for space, because we’re spending a lot of money on space.”
