Talking with my wife the other day, I said it would be like if I shot someone in the thigh, and for 4.5 minutes I let them bleed out. I then put pressure on the wound for 30 seconds to temporarily stop the bleeding, and then let them bleed out for another 4.5 minutes, until they finally died. Clearly I am not responsible for their death.

In a surprising move, NASA has awarded $2.9 billion to SpaceX to develop the human landing system (HLS) for the Artemis program. It's a surprise, because there were two other contenders: Dynetics Aerospace and Blue Origin, and both of their proposals were closer to how moon landings were accomplished in the 1960s. SpaceX will develop a lunar only version of their Starship system under this contract. Interestingly, the SpaceX's bid was apparently close to 1/2 the price of the competing bids, and the company even lowered their bid in order to meet NASA's budgetary constraints. Originally, NASA planned on awarding two contracts, but because Congress didn't fully fund the HLS program, there was only enough money to fund one winner, and even still it wasn't enough for SpaceX's original bid. Humans will still launch (and return) to Earth on NASA's own capsule and rocket, and once the capsule reaches lunar orbit, the astronauts will transfer to the Starship lander. Upon completion of the lunar mission, the Starship will return to lunar orbit, and the astronauts will return to their capsule, which will then set a course back to Earth. Lunar Starship will remain in orbit around the moon.

Felony murder for the douchebag that kid was criming with. -
Fuck big business! Shop local! Also: If local businesses can't support $15 an hour, fuck them! They deserve to go out of business! ...Meanwhile, you have big business starting to lobby for higher minimum wages, because they CAN support higher wages AND it decreases the amount of competition from local and small business who cannot afford the sudden increase in labor costs.

The appropriate response after 9/11 would have been for the US to pay Iran and Pakistan to go into Afghanistan and fight the Taliban and Al Qaeda. And after they get done with those two groups, we could've turned Iran and Pakistan against each other.

This meme would also apply because the police officer has a Hispanic name, and the Army officer is black. -

Former officer Kim Brooks charged with 2nd degree manslaughter. Good. -

The prosecution did a good job of cross examining the defense's expert witness, and (IMO) tore apart the narrative that this was George Floyd's fault somehow. -
The Official Thread of Systemic Racism

Saying that the reason the officer shot this man is because of a mistake, or lacked training, is not absolving the officer, at least in my opinion. It's giving a reason why she did it, and she should be appropriately punished because she negligently/accidentally killed a man. To claim this was no accident, or that this was intentional, means this was murder, and no jury would convict her of murder, given the audio/video evidence. -

It's the only logical conclusion. To believe she otherwise KNEW she pulled her gun and put on the best acting performance of her life is...incredible? If you believe that, then what she committed was murder...And that's going to be hard sell in front of a jury. The state would be better off charging her with manslaughter as that will be so much easier to convince a jury, and she'll spend the next 5 to 15 in state prison. Charging her with murder will simply result in acquittal and she'll walk free. -
