The reporting on this assassination attempt has been all over the place, but I think I have all the pieces now. Trump was shot at, got hit in the ear, and then a spectator in the crowd unfortunately got killed. Completely nuts. In a time when we need to come together as a society, break down these walls that the media and corporate social media has built around us, mostly entirely for financial and political gain, we have actual violence and murder (if my assumptions are correct and the shooter in fact hit and killed a bystander in the crowd).
It goes without saying, that if you're looking to change things in this country, or if you want to be heard for what you believe, or whatever it is you want to say, the internet and its many multitudes of platforms are far more powerful than bullets. Nobody loses their lives when you write your angry little rant on Twitter, or Threads, or Mastodon, or Nostr. And it's far more healthy to hash out your feelings with a keyboard, than to load up a weapon, and end someone's life in the flash of a second over things that, in the grand scheme, mean almost nothing.
Dark times we're living in, I think. I miss being a kid in the 90s with my Nintendo 64, sometimes, a hell of a lot lol
