Arnold Schwarzenegger and then President George Bush go for a sled ride. (1991). According to his biography Total Recall, Arnold Schwarzenegger and President Bush were on the sled when they lost control and went straight into Barbara Bush, breaking her leg in the process (which was apparently covered up at the time). Thatβs apparently why the card says βTurn, damn it, Turn!β

A rainy night in #London featuring the Old Curiosity Shop - a genuinely old building but from what I've read its claim to fame is dubious.

Gotta love a guy taking a zoom call in the bar without a headset.

Someone just tried to convince me that mass shootings are a recent development in the U.S., brought on by lax discipline in schools. It's the kind of shameless lie that U.S. gun fetishists love to spread.
No. We've had school shootings and mass shootings in the United States pretty much my entire life, and I'm pushing 60. Remember the 1970s hit song "I Don't Like Mondays"? It was about a mass shooting that happened at an elementary school in San Diego.
The problem is not "permissive schools," because these shootings happen in all sorts of schools with different approaches to discipline. Also, "permissive" schools exist in other countries and they don't have mass shootings. Other countries also have mental illness, bullied kids, and disaffected loners. And few to 0 mass shootings.
The relevant variable is that those safer countries have strict border-to-border gun control laws (or in one case, ammo-control laws). That's it. That's what works in practice in the real world. #guncontrol
