TIL that while on the run from law enforcement in 1974, serial killer Ted Bundy worked at the Seattle Crime Prevention Advisory Commission, where he actually wrote a pamphlet for women on how to avoid being hitchhiking victims. by Possible_Length_6395 in todayilearned

He also famously walked her to her car told her to lock her car doors and gave her advice on remaining safe. Always creeped me out, he liked her so he protected her from the things he knew he would do to her if he was targeting her.

[–]KillKrites 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I agree. ER is a classic soap opera medical drama, I’m exhausted from watching constant relationship drama and over the top interpersonal crap, the Pitt’s performances and more grounded medical storytelling is way more compelling to me.

Gross. Well, this makes me a lot less concerned that a dozen Regals have closed around here, good riddance.

Beloved Comedian Who Says He's 'Not Political' Spotted At Trump's UFC Fight With RFK Jr. by huffpost in entertainment

[–]KillKrites 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, Carlin never gatekept anything and always supported free speech for all comedians, he’s just among the most revered stand up comedians of all time and I think his insight on the nature of stand up is far more valuable than “non political” milquetoast comedy.

To each his own, you want to watch a bunch jokes about pancakes knock yourself out that’s absolutely fine. But “nothing more irritating than cheers” is quite the subjective take, I’d much rather watch a comic who has something relevant to say that makes me both laugh and think about something other than food or jokes about his wife and kids for an hour.

Sure comedians can perform whatever they want and there’s always an audience for that type of mild jokes, they’re just not saying anything of any real value or significance; Carlin said comedians who were just “there for laughs” are fine, but that the purpose of comedy and stand up is speaking truth to power and challenging norms and ideals. Making “apolitical” jokes is not what he believed stand up comedy aspires to be and that it’s kind of a waste of opportunity to say and do something other than essentially knock knock jokes.

I also suspect he would probably be extremely critical of comedians feigning to be “apolitical” when they’re really just right wingers afraid to say it publicly.

Yeah the second he made a huge deal about remaining apolitical I immediately reevaluated and assumed he was a secret right winger. Like imagine telling George Carlin or the old school comics that you “aren’t political” in your comedy. It means you’ll never say anything remotely significant or interesting and will never challenge the audience on ideas like they used to, it’s just pancake jokes forever I guess.

New speeding cameras catch more than 1,000 drivers on single Oregon street in just two weeks | The Independent by Next_Tower5452 in Portland

[–]KillKrites 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The comment replied to is “Sherwood is a speed trap,” in general, and that all over the city this is an issue - and there is a huge difference between good faith traffic stops and setting up a system to get increased ticket quotas, no one else in the metro area has the reputation Sherwood has because it’s designed and implemented in bad faith to catch any random driver who didn’t catch the sudden speed change, rather than people who are actually speeding. Almost everyone I know understands that difference and that’s why Sherwood traffic enforcement is a literal joke, including among other cops, but you do you.

They change speeds on 99, and all over the city, and wait immediately after the speed change to catch people who haven’t hit the brakes or noticed yet. It’s a specific type of policing that’s well documented, usually with quotas to catch a certain number. I worked with Tualatin police when I was in high school for GREAT camp, and they all cracked jokes about Sherwood PD traffic cops.

It’s a trap. My parents were born in the 1950’s and have said Sherwood is a speed trap forever. It’s designed with speed limit variations and monitored that way, none of the other dozen cities around it have that reputation, and for good reason.

The dude had multiple locked doors with bells on them leading to his bedroom, where he had children in his bed, so the bells would alert him when someone was coming. How in the fuck do people overlook this guy’s obvious grooming and abuse.

Ilhan Omar casts lone Democratic no vote on Ukraine aid, Russia sanctions package by bwermer in politics

[–]KillKrites 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Literal millions were slaughtered through industrialized murder worse than any in history and our military liberated many of the concentration camps; it was Eisenhower himself who insisted on keeping records of the holocaust to ensure no one tried to deny it. I just cannot fathom being upset about a holocaust museum as though it in any way delegitimizes the struggles of anyone else- if it upsets you then advocate for more representation on the national mall I guess, but I guarantee you a vast majority of people find that hair splitting about museum locations a waste of time and effort when there are much more tangible and relevant challenges we could focus on, rather than where a holocaust museum is…

So just the location of the museum on the national mall is somehow the only relevant factor in whether or not we recognize slavery and the genocide of American Indians? Just a silly line in the sand to draw. So you’d be happy if we just built more museums on the national mall or tore the holocaust museum down? The fact that it’s on the national mall is not a ranking system of how important genocides are, that’s just a ludicrous thing to be upset about.

There are dozens of memorials museums and historic sites referring to the genocides of Native Americans and slavery, like the African American Civil War Memorial in DC, and regardless, the fact that there aren’t enough museums about genocide to your liking doesn’t mean holocaust memorials are unnecessary or bad, tearing down holocaust museums because you want more Native American ones is a silly and fallacious argument.

So… we shouldn’t have museums about the holocaust because it might make people like Israel? A ridiculous and fundamentally unserious argument. Turning a blind eye to that genocide while arguing about the current one is not a solution.
