The careful phrasing of "shot and killed" may be a tip off.There is non zero chance they shot one of the kids. Why else make this statement oh yeah it will get worse. https://t.co/xaVehvFMug

The idea that schools need to be "hardened" even more is just so stupid - in Uvalde, it was the police who needed to be "hardened".Federal agents DEFIED Uvalde police chief's order not to enter school https://t.co/pAka9bW8N5 via @MailOnline

When the NRA has lost Jon Voight:The Parkland Cops ran away. The Buffalo Cop was killed instantly. The 3 Cops at Uvalde were overpowered, then waited 40 min to enter the school.

Veteran Cops repeatedly failed—but we’re supposed to expect Lunch Lady Doris & School Nurse Betty to stop a terrorist with an AR-15.😑
Here's a photo from the NRA convention in Texas that's getting a lot of comment:I did not see that coming. https://t.co/0XQ2VjGIPj

You got it all wrong. He was just giving his best impression of the cops who stood in the hall while children got shot. Between the rounds going off and the cries of children, you have to believe they too covered their ears.

In his Eschaton blog, Duncan Black flags another instance of journalist team-playing masquerading as objectivity:I don’t wish to sound apocalyptic about this, but one has the sense that at present our society is simultaneously characterized by wildly disproportionate accountability for trivial transgressions and zero accountability for profound institutional failure.

People bathed in the census Washington Consensus just assert their beliefs are popular. It is extra funny as those centrists threw their lot in with a bunch of guys pretending to be data nerds, who also just pick and choose polls and ignore them when they are inconvenient.Abortion is popular. More gun laws are popular.... how supposedly neutral journalists torture polls to fit their narrative is the easiest way to know which team they're playing for. I don't mean bias or preconceptions, I mean literal team playing.

Checking in with Ukraine, I notice that the news headlines are running at least a day behind the military tweeters in terms of telling us what is going on. Tonight, headlines are talking about Russia making some advances, but the military analysts are past that already."What you can see from these numbers is that 6 out of 10 Americans directly support limiting the right to buy certain guns or ammo"

There, fixed it for ya!
The piece by the Institute for the Study of War continues:ISW- "The Russian invasion of Ukraine that aimed to seize and occupy the entire country has become a desperate and bloody offensive to capture a single city in the east while defending important but limited gains in the south and east."https://t.co/YMvJ8wWiyl pic.twitter.com/9ewcNVOHjB

...When the Battle of Severodonetsk ends, regardless of which side holds the city, the Russian offensive at the operational and strategic levels will likely have culminated, giving Ukraine the chance to restart its operational-level counteroffensives to push Russian forces back.Russian forces are assaulting Severdonetsk even though they have not yet encircled it. They are making territorial gains and may succeed in taking the city and areas further west.... Seizing it will let Moscow declare that it has secured Luhansk Oblast fully but will give Russia no other significant military or economic benefit. This is especially true because Russian forces are destroying the city as they assault it and will control its rubble if they capture it. ...
Lots of reliance on artillery (not surprisingly). Though wonder if the Russians are running out of the mass of front line armor and APCs needed to advance. Has been a noticeable decline in Ukrainian claims of Russian losses the last week. Will tweet more on that tomorrow.

Using my completely unscientific analytical measurement to track the course of the war (the number and boastfulness levels of pro Putin trolls), I would say the war might not be going as well for Russia as the current wisdom was claiming a few days ago.

Cry me a river!Every time Macron & Scholz call Putin, the weight of Czechia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia & Ukraine in European & allied deliberations increases, while that of France & Germany sinks like a stone. #EmbargoRussia #ArmUkraine #DefeatFascism #WeAreNATO

Speaking of yachts, this photo of yacht sunk after a collision during a Trump parade will never not be funny:I was thinking about putting a Biden flag on my yacht, but then I remembered that I don’t have a yacht, and I’m not in a fucking cult.

I had aa good friend who used to say "You can always tell a cop, but you can't tell him much" and then laugh his head off. I now think he was on to something.
Yes I think they have lost the benefit of the doubt everywhere now.
