      The government dumped a bunch of hallucinogens in the water supply back in the 50’s and then scared everyone into a bad trip. We really never recovered from that.

        Throwing a bunch of LSD at our lead-damaged neurons like kicking the side of a box fan to make the hum go away.

    Can’t wait to learn Tyler’s family voiced their concerns that Tyler was practicing witchcraft (evolutionary biology) and listening to the devil’s music (jazz and/or rock n roll).

      witchcraft (evolutionary biology)

      I’m serious when I say that I expect a Scopes Monkey Trial 2.0. Except - this time the fundies/creationists. Creationism rebranded with some fancy new marketing term name is taught in schools across the U-S-A.

      I’m looking forward to being in public, standing in line next to some fundie on his phone whining about “anti-Christian hate crimes”, and I laugh then say “Give me a fucking break.” He turns looks at me, calls 911, and I’m soon arrested for something like a “verbal assault anti-Christian hate crime”.

    Not reading the article but do they mean because “Thou shall not kill” is one of the commandments or is that putting even more thought into it than the guys that came up with the law?

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember… we’re all comrades here.

Rules:

– PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE –

Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.

If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.

Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.

Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.

Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.

Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like ‘Raid: Shadow Legends’ in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.
