@IamTheRiiiiiiz Why isn’t anyone helping her and what is wrong with the absolute psycho who keeps hitting someone like that?

[NOBUNAGA🇯🇵🏯 @japan_nobunaga]

Four Americans got into a car and nobody discussed who sat where.

It took four seconds. There was no negotiation. Everyone went to a specific door as though summoned.

I asked how they decided.

The driver said, "Shotgun."

I asked what that meant.

Apparently there is a word. If you say the word first, out loud, in the open air, you get the front seat. There are rules about when you can say it. You must be able to see the vehicle. Some families require that all doors be locked. Some require that you be outside.

There are house rules for a word.

I asked what happens if two people say it at the same time.

Four adults immediately began arguing about this. It got heated. One of them referenced an incident from 2014.

A woman said, "There has to be a clear winner or it's void."

A man said, "That's not real, you made that up."

She said, "My family always did that."

He said, "Your family is wrong."

This is the entire country in one exchange. Everyone follows a rule they were taught by their parents, believes it is universal, and discovers at thirty-eight that other households ran a different legal system.

I asked what happens if nobody calls it.

The driver said, "Then it's whoever's oldest, or whoever's tallest, or whoever's least likely to complain."

Three fallback systems, ranked, unwritten, and he listed them in half a second.

I said the word once, at the correct moment, in a parking lot.

Nobody argued. I got the front seat. A man twenty years my senior got in the back without comment.

The word worked. I do not fully understand why the word worked.

What are your family's shotgun rules and which of them are you now realizing were fake.

Elon Musk has had a lot to say about the grooming gangs scandal. We looked at 24 hours on Musk's X timeline and found a range of false and misleading information being amplified. Produced by Catherine Karelli, Shayan Sardarizadeh and Jake Horton. Graphics by Jacqueline Galvin.

@JamesMelville Oh Tony come back. Or at least haunt your son into having a conscience.

Tony Benn’s 5 critical questions:

“What power have you got?
Where did you get it from?
In whose interests do you exercise it?
To whom are you accountable?
How do we get rid of you?

And if you can’t get rid of the people who govern you, you don’t live in a democratic system.”

@robbie70 @GSGB01 It can’t be true. Surely no one would write anything so stupid and illegal.
