Attack at a Mormon church in Michigan leaves at least 1 dead, 9 injured
“At least one person was killed and nine were injured when a gunman attacked a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints service in Michigan on Sunday morning, police said. The shooter was killed by police.
Authorities say the 40-year-old male suspect rammed his vehicle through the front doors of the church in Grand Blanc Township, about 60 miles northwest of Detroit, before exiting and opening fire with an “assault rifle” on the hundreds of worshippers inside.
Grand Blanc Township Police Chief William Renye said investigators believe the suspect also deliberately set fire to the church, which appeared engulfed in flames in photos and videos shared on social media.”

Ezra Klein: When A Shutdown is the Only Option | The Bulwark Podcast
“I think you’re having a shutdown because there are masked men in the streets; I think you’re having a shutdown because the FCC is using its powers to silence comedians; I think you’re having a shutdown because Donald Trump is weaponizing the workings of the federal government into something that is like what we see in Hungary; I think you’re having a shutdown because we are in fundamentally abnormal political circumstances and a shutdown is one of very few ways for Democrats to yell really loudly, ‘stop, this is some kind of emergency…we are going to try to throw ourselves in front of this truck’. Even if healthcare polls well…I think on some level, both your people and the public…know that this is not really about healthcare.”

Trump’s WILD Address to the United Nations and His U-Turn on Ukraine
Trump defines him ending a war as a war or conflict ending or having a cease fire if the U.S. was involved in some way, even if Trump’s involvement had no impact on the outcome or if the participants say that Trump’s involvement wasn’t important.

Why did HAND GUARDS on SWORDS get BIGGER in the Medieval period?
Swords for a long time didn’t have long cross guards because shields mostly covered the hands, even while striking. Long cross guards grew as the use of strap-shields grew. With the shield strapped to the arm, it couldn’t cover the hand as well, so a cross guard was more useful. Basket guards that covered the whole hand became popular once the sword became a side weapon and unarmored hands were needed to operate firearms.

Diet soda is far far better for you than sugar soda.

American Democracy Might Be Stronger Than Donald Trump
“Trump does all the same things as the authoritarians Levitsky and Ziblatt studied: He has refused to accept electoral defeats; called political opponents criminals and tried to jail them even while backing his own violent supporters; and lashed out at opponents and the media as “enemies of the people” — a chilling phrase that echoes Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin and the Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels.
But Trump’s authoritarianism also resembles that of dangerous populists who failed to kill democracy. Careful studies that never seem to get much press find that only about a fifth of dangerous populists actually kill democracy, including in different regions and across different time spans. If you’re serious about weighing the Trump threat, you should be asking what makes the difference between countries where democracy died and countries where it survives.”
