There’s literally nothing weird about Thomas Matthew Crooks emailing a deputy from Butler, PA before the assassination attempt. It’s not weird that he practiced shooting at the same range Homeland Security used. It’s not weird that the local police and Secret Service spotted Crooks with a rangefinder, photographed him, and texted about him for over an hour and still let him climb the roof with a rifle. It’s not weird that the Secret Service wasn’t flying drones that day, but Crooks was. It’s not weird that Butler was the first Trump rally of the year with Secret Service anti-sniper agents on the roofs. It’s not weird that Crooks’ house looked like a sterile lab with no trash or silverware. And it’s not weird that his body was cremated ten days later before Congress could see it. This is like when people say the CIA was shadowing Oswald before he, and he alone, shot JFK.
@LNCVNC1@alysdenby@metaburbia A lot of southern people have family stories about "coming over from Ireland." When genetic genealogy became common, there were a lot of surprised people with Scottish DNA but little to no Irish DNA.
@alysdenby@metaburbia Maybe it's because we aren't in Britain? As many of them were in Ulster for over a century, most Scots-Irish called themselves Irish. Scots-Irish became the term for Ulster Scots when the Irish Catholics immigrated during the genocide.
@Poohzuru6v6 I remember the absolute bloodbath that was ticketing. I understand that this was his first solo world tour and they were just testing the water, but 35000 people were in the queue for Chicago's 3000 tickets. It sucks that so many people were left out.
@luajonghyun I bought the rock version and the Taemin version. I don't bulk buy. The closest I came was buying 6 of Poet|Artist- one for each member and 2 of Taemin. One to keep safe and one to keep on my travel backpack.
It's been a long time since I had fresh garden tomatoes. This year I've actually managed to grow some and I don't know what those red things at the grocery store are, but they aren't tomatoes.
BREAKING: SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey has reportedly been indicted on multiple counts of fraud and embezzlement.
Reports have said that he has spent millions of dollars on “unauthorized luxury purchases” from conference funds.
More to come.
Shit like this is why I tried to warn people against using the term "Heritage American." It's a rebranding of the Old Stock trope. Once they get rid of the black and brown people, there will be an ancestry-based hierarchy.

@livelaughshinee I hate this because I've always been OT5 (although TM biased) but the silence while this is happening has really impacted how I see things. I thought maybe it had been addressed privately, so I let it go the first time, but it's happening again.
