When asked why there was no autopsy on Yeakey, an Oklahoma City Police Department spokesman, Master Sgt. Gary Knight, referred a reporter to the state medical examiner’s office, whose director of operations, Kari Learned, wrote, “Our office does not answer case specific questions.”
Gotta wonder what was on that video tape.
OKC cops tend to have the same leanings as McVeigh…
Isn’t it funny how Dems chased out Al Franken for that shitty photo, but Republicans rally behind their own sex pests?
Terrence Yeakey was a black cop in OKC.
If you have ever thought about what you would do during Nazi Germany, it is whatever you are doing now.
I had a wonderful combination of “strict” but also “there aren’t actually rules.”
I could have handled even unreasonable expectations if they had been communicated. But there was no structure at all.
I could ask permission to do something, do it, and then have that permission retroactively revoked. I could have an entirely normal day without anything seeming off, then be grounded for a week because there were dishes in the sink or something.
It never made any sense.
I’ve seen MAGAs post gleeful memes at the idea of immigrants being eaten by alligators. It’s sick.
or even water
We never stopped the “lol treaties with Native American tribes don’t count” bullshit.
One of my favorite aspects is the way the ludonarrative/gameplay ties with the story.
The enemies start showing up in unrealistic numbers, one of your dead squad mates shows up as some kind of mutated monster - it feels like the classic escalation in difficulty because you are playing a video game. But this is happening because your character is delusional and perceives it that way.
I’ve always wanted to teach a high school/community college elective where we read Heart of Darkness, watched Apocalypse Now and played Spec Ops - to see how the same narratives in themes are used in entirely different settings and with different methods of storytelling, but how ultimately they all reach towards the same message about humanity and war and cruelty.
The older Call of Duty’s (maybe the newer ones, haven’t played since Black Ops one) often had messages/quotes that were pretty anti war when you died, but were ultimately sabotaged by the story. Spec Ops is probably the best game at understanding how to use the FPS mechanics as part of its storytelling.
Fallout 3. Slaughter the vault of police officers (who you grew up knowing), but grow a conscience when you meet the overseer. Take out armies of enclave soldiers, but let the weirdo Colonel Autumn walk away.
Spec Ops the Line is art. You don’t have a “choice” to not use the white phosphorus if you are going to play - but just like Heart of Darkness and Apocalypse Now - no one needs to be there/participating to begin with.
My state is unambiguously going to be on the wrong side of the civil war.
Can’t wait to get imprisoned in a mental institution and Aktion-T4’d as a trans person in the wrong state!
AI written books have no value.
If it was not worth writing, it is not worth reading.
As someone who loves books, I avoid print-on-demand. Most of the time they end up with terrible, jpeg artifact ridden covers, disorganized page breaks, and terrible quality text.
I’m pretty sure I could get away with licking my uranium ore sample. Not going to test it apropos of nothing though.
A lot of those trans-uranium (and astatine) aren’t going to exist in lick-able quantities anyway.
That’s how it works in Oklahoma. Our system is such a fucking mess that unemployment and disability are pipe dreams.
A lot of the better creators are on Nebula. I don’t think they’d take Pewds though.
Also on Grindr. Every other ad.
So people are just going to die right?
We’re going to have old people cut off from their health care, rural areas will have their hospitals closed, and people are going to die.
Why is the world such a sick place?
