A new wave of first-time gun owners are rushing to buy weapons: Black Americans

“ I didn’t want a gun; I’m not a gun person. But this world has made me get one.“

I feel similarly as a gay person.

As long as they get training and keep them safe, it is hard to go against that logic. In the USA.

By now, a lot of things that Elon Musk is involved in are simply so odd they have to go in the RANDOM topic.
I am not particularly fond of the HuffPost, but this seems legit:

'Free Speech Absolutist' Fires SpaceX Employees For Writing Open Letter

Summary. The guy that wants to own Twitter so it will be truly a free speech platform, fired some people for an open letter.
He is starting to sound a lot like Julian Assange (the consummate reporter that walked out of interviews when he did not like the questions).

A Czech friend sent this to me. The article appears to be a not very good translation, so I've cleaned it up a bit, and the result is below.

Wasps “improved” the statue of Karel Havlichka Borovsky

Volunteer policemen and firefighters from Hořice in the Jicinsk region are a bit curious and smiling. A wasp’s nest was removed from the statue of Karel Gavlichka Borovsky. The insects built their nest in a rather interesting place – right between the writer’s legs. The nest could not even be found at first.

The police arrived the statue on Friday afternoon after receiving a warning about a dangerous wasp nest at the monument to Karel Havlicek Borovsky. “Based on the announcement, the patrol went to check the situation, but the location of the nest was not completely clear at first glance,” described the police from Hořice.

This was probably because it resembled a man’s genitals, and it was also right between the legs of the famous revivalist. They then called volunteer firefighters to help and cleaned up the nest together. “Some primary school children are allergic and may be at risk of a serious reaction if they are stung by these insects. In severe cases, it can be life-threatening.” they added.

The monument to Karel Havlicek Borovsky, a famous Czech journalist, poet and writer, has stood on Jablonsky Street in a park next to the Habru Primary School since 1929.

Why is it funny? Do those numbers have something to do with old people eating a burger at a playground? I don't understand why that would be funny. Although it is so stupid I just laughed. :lol:

OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH It's a song. :?

Probably way before my time. I was born in 2006. ;)

No definitely before my time just looking at the video and seeing the clothes and listening to the tune. :lol:

Which is exactly how the person at the McDonald's must have felt.

If the server had yelled out 634 I would've yelled out 5789.

I'll go eat my burger outside too. And pour one out for that guy on the guitar...
