Which is why we’re The Safest Big City in America.
In the 1980’s/early 90’s, we had 2000 murders a year; starting in 1994, Bratton started enforcing strict gun control. (the peak was 1990, with 2245 homicides)
2017 — 290.
So we’re down 85%.

President Trump has declared he is NOT a feminist.
He tells me: ‘No, I wouldn’t say I’m a feminist. I mean, I think that would be, maybe, going too far. I’m for women, I’m for men, I’m for everyone.’

re: #129 Backwoods_Sleuth
So, last night the goofy coonhound came bounding up to the back door with a possum in her mouth and such a huge proud look on her face that said “Mom! Look what I found! Can I keep it?” (I think she had already named it George…)
I sternly told her no and to drop it, DROP IT RIGHT NOW!Possum was dutifully dropped on the stoop and the dogs came indoors, radiating much sadness.
After about 20 minutes the possum started to move a little. After 35 minutes, it waddled off.
Right this damned minute, the damned possum is scratching at the backdoor (in the pouring down rain). I can’t tell if it wants to come indoors or if it wants the coonhound to come out and play.
Coonhound is apparently OK with either option. (Hint: not gonna happen)

USA Today: Police: Michigan man celebrating birthday kills self after accidentally shooting friend
MERRILL, Mich. (AP) — Authorities say a Michigan man celebrating his 21st birthday accidentally shot his best friend and then killed himself in grief.
WJRT-TV reports Zachary Woodcock shot himself minutes after he accidentally shot 21-year-old Richard Skillman, who died at the scene.
Saginaw County Sheriff’s Lt. Mike Gomez says Woodcock was celebrating his birthday Jan. 19 with friends in his apartment in Merrill, northwest of Detroit.
Gomez says Woodcock returned from his bedroom with a handgun that “went off and struck Mr. Skillman in the chest.”
As others were helping Skillman, witnesses told police that Woodcock left the apartment.
Gomez says “they heard a shot, walked out and there he was.”
About 10 guns later were found in the apartment and Skillman’s car.

From the same paper whose Op-Ed page once argued that a funny looking little corporal from Austria couldn’t be taken seriously about wanting to oppress the Jews and would totally moderate himself after he was appointed to office.
So, the same faulty reasoning we heard before the orange menace was elected? You would think they’d lear….oh…it’s Douthat….never mind

Some of those responses are a hoot.

I’m a woman in tech and I know the difference between pads & tampons, also that they should be available for free in all ladies’ restrooms (but most of the time they aren’t). I think you meant to say “Nothing quite says ‘I’m a dude bro in tech’…

A few days ago, Karen & I paid our respects at Yad Vashem to honor the 6 million Jewish martyrs of the Holocaust who 3 years after walking beneath the shadow of death, rose up from the ashes to resurrect themselves to reclaim a Jewish future. #HolocaustRemembranceDay #NeverAgain pic.twitter.com/67UuC1cYI2

This is awkward. The victims weren’t resurrected, that’s the kind of shitty thing that deniers often say sarcastically as a way to assert the whole thing was a hoax. Pence can’t even pay respect without coming off like an idiot. https://t.co/2rOMTxhIwb

Trump ultimately had to admit 30 times that he had lied over the years about all sorts of stuff: how much of a big Manhattan real estate project he owned; the price of one of his golf club memberships; the size of the Trump Organization; his wealth; his speaking fees; 1/2 https://t.co/I1tZ4F5obl

“Trump probably doesn’t know which documents Mueller has collected. If the president sits down under oath and lies, it’s likely that Mueller will have a raft of paperwork on hand to document that fact.” https://t.co/ufRSJ5gW7i

Yup. There are lots of other places to shop.
I’ve been reading a book called Respect Yourself about Stax Records. I knew about many of the artists on Stax, but I didn’t know much about William Bell and I’ve been playing catch-up on his music. He’s a great singer who wrote a lot of classic songs and he’s got a fairly new album produced by the great John Leventhal (who produced some of Rosanne Cash’s and Shawn Colvin’s best music). I wish he would have played his song “You Don’t Miss Your Water Til The Well’s Run Dry” for this Tiny Desk Concert, but it’s still pretty good.
