And happier people are less downtrodden, which is why corporations don't want us working from home.

I thought he was saying the killer was a Marxist. Which is obviously false but aligns with the Republicans' utter refusal to understand words.

If by "everyone" you mean the people stupid enough to buy a made-in-China Trump phone.

The projection.

This will show the fascists that they have a means to shut down all protest.

Apple's "find my" network can find your phone when it's turned off, because the phone continues to transmit low-energy Bluetooth which other devices in that network receive and report. So if you're in a crowd with a switched-off iPhone and other people have their devices on, it's still possible for your location to be tracked. There may be other modern phones that do this too, continuing to transmit low power signals to nearby devices. If you really don't want to be tracked, you can't be sure Airplane Mode or turning the phone off will be sufficient.

You don't get the same feeling of suspicion about what the machine is up to. Windows 11 feels like the computer spends just enough time doing what you want that you don't walk away forever in frustration, but most of the resources are spent doing unspecified things in the background for people you don't know, who are very interested in what you're doing. My Windows XP machine's CPU scores 75 on Passmark, while my Windows 11 machine scores about 46,000. But the speed at which they do many ordinary things isn't so different, because Windows 11 does so much heavy stuff in the background. My Linux machines (scoring between 8,000 and 28,000) all feel tangibly faster than Win 11.

One possible motive is that the Minnesota legislature had a one-seat majority for the Democrats. Shooting two Democratic representatives might have been an attempt to change the math.

It's worth noting that Democrats had a majority of one seat in the Minnesota legislature, until this person killed one Democratic representative and tried to kill another.

At least one of them (Hortman) has died.

Democratic politicians in a legislature where Democrats had a one-seat majority. Fascists will do anything to seize power.

It actually wasn't.

It's weakness. The whole world sees it as weakness.

Not sure how they can be so sure, right away, that he wasn't a real police officer. Unless they're just not prepared to look into that possibility.

Let's see if they ever find the perpetrator. If not, you may be right.

"They will be prosecuting anyone involved to the fullest extent of the law," Trump said in a statement. "Such horrific violence will not be tolerated in the United States of America."

Ah, like they did with the violent perpetrators of the January 6th insurrection, until you pardoned them all and set them free.

Huh? My point was that there's a reason we never get good billionaires.

Unfortunately if you were a billionaire you'd be a selfish sociopath so wouldn't think of any of these things.

If she were to fall down a literary flight of stairs

She already did - it was called the Harry Potter series.
