If Covid-19 spreads at protests, it will be largely the thugs' fault. They go unmasked, refusing to protect protesters or even each other, and they spray tear gas which makes people more susceptible.

Hate-ridden machista fools!

*Louisville Lawmakers Ban No-Knock Warrants as Advocates Escalate Demand for Arrests of Three Officers Who Killed Breonna Taylor.*

No-knock home invasions are a regular path to homicides. The thugs also tend to damage people's houses and kill their dogs, sometimes before the people inside know their is a raid.

Senator Warren and Rep. Khanna have introduced a bill to make the US military approach investigations of killing civilians in a more honest way, and make the results available.

This may be a helpful step, but it won't make a big difference if the army just clams up.

Please don't use the term "war on terrorism" seriously.

The BBC deleted an episode of Fawlty Towers which mocked an old officer's racist views.

John Cleese: If you put nonsense words into the mouth of someone you want to make fun of, you’re not broadcasting their views, you’re making fun of them. The major was an old fossil left over from decades before. We were not supporting his views, we were making fun of them. If they can’t see that – if people are too stupid to see that – what can one say?

I read that this convinced the BBC to retract the deletion.

I think that that episode is the only one I ever saw. I felt it painted the principal irony ("Don't talk about the war") too thick, so I did not like it.

There are many forms of irony. Nowadays, right-wing bigots slather some irony over their real bigotry to pretend they don't mean it. But Fawlty Towers was many decades ago, and people did not do that then.

Everyone: call on Walmart to give workers hazard pay and a seat on the board of directors.
