| Garments and axe of an executioner. |
A regular and beloved feature of this blog is my monthly look at headlines wherein I offer comments on the day's news. Today I'm attempting a new twist on this idea by commenting on tweets from -- as you could probably guess -- Twitter. Below you will find actual tweets and my responses to them. Who knows, this could supplant headlines or become a feature in addition to them. Enjoy!
Florida Man Named Kyle Rittenhouse Arrested on Child Porn Charges, Admitted to 'Sending Images of His Penis' to Young Girls
There's another Kyle Rittenhouse? And he's one of those idiots who thinks it's a good idea to send dick pics? And to young girls? To any prospective parents out there whose last name is Rittenhouse, don't name your boy Kyle.

Sounds like the start of a novel.
I've never heard a good argument for the kind of easy access to guns we have in the US. Maybe because there isn't one.
You're right, there isn't.
Word of the day is ‘apanthropy’ (18th century): the desire to be away from other people and to be left alone.
I often experience apanthorpy.

Yes, let's all worry about the poor coal industry, fuck the planet.

Great idea!

Beat them with menorahs.
Gun shop owner charged with involuntary manslaughter after shooting employee in the face during prank gone wrong
If your prank involves a loaded gun, maybe re-think it.
Tucson, AZ Police officer Ryan Remington shoots and murders a 61-year-old man in a motorized wheelchair from behind. Shoots him at point blank range. This is yet again beyond the pale. How Do You Reform This?
The cop was fired. He should be thrown in the slammer.
Man dressed as ninja and armed with sword attacks two policewomen in France
I know that it supposedly takes all kinds, but this is ridiculous.
Life continues post birth. Why is "sanctity of life" crowd silent on the latest school shooting or for that matter all gun violence? Or, children who are homeless? Or children who are hungry? Or children who are abused? Asking for a sperm & egg before they decide to meet.
Good questions. Hell will freeze over before we get a decent response.
Robe and Axe of Giovanni Battista Bugatti, who was the official executioner for the Papal States from 1796 to 1864. Over the 68 years he worked as official executioner, Bugatti carried out a total of 514 executions.

Note that if abortion becomes illegal in the US, rich people will still be able to travel elsewhere to get it done safely, poor women will be dying in alleyways yet again
Yup.
Fox host who compared Fauci to Nazi doctor Mengele blocks Auschwitz Memorial on Twitter
These people are stupid, they spread misinformation, distort the truth and are often anti-semitic.
We can either have: Voting rights, reproductive health, climate justice, a living wage, affordable healthcare, billionaires pay their fair share in taxes, free public college, paid time off, CJ reform, immigration reform, & a functioning democracy. OR The Jim Crow filibuster.
Let's go with the first option.
