John Turscak, the inmate who stabbed convicted murderer and world-class POS Derek Chauvin, managed to inflict 22 stab wounds before he was subdued by corrections officers. Turscak said he would have killed Chauvin if the guards hadn’t reacted so quickly.

Perhaps if the guards would have finished their coffee a little sooner, the job would have been complete.

Chauvin was definitely asking for it. The way he was dressed. He practically provoked his attacker. You don't go looking like a convict, if you don't want to be treated like a convict. Chauvin definitely wanted to be stabbed.

On the same note, Musk is trying to hard to pretend he is not affected by being disliked with a public claim that people should not be personally concerned about being liked. If you have to bring it up, it is obviously on your mind due to how it is bothering you.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Let me see. Musk made comments supporting anti-Semitic conspiracy theories. His advertisers took exception and made the business decision to pull their ads (his chief source of revenue) from his platform. Musk's response was to say that advertisers can go fuck themselves.

Financial whiz, this guy.

Ayup. I imagine new advertisers are pushing each other out of the way to give Elon their business.
