the person behind the camera was a 17 year old girl who at the trial was talking about the guilt she felt for not trying to physically stop the police from murdering george floyd
meanwhile another witness had called the police on the police and a firefighter was trying to tell them to check his pulse and provide emergency response
this is so broken |

I say, 'Yeah, Taylor Swift.' I think she is a smart, beautiful girl. I think she's making all the right moves. She's got a good head on her shoulders. She's surrounded with wonderful people. Her songs are great. She keeps herself anchored. She knows who she is, and she's living and standing by that. |

I have a daughter, Catherine, aged 30. I have a 9-year-old son, Nathaniel, a 7-year-old son, Ridley, and a 6-year-old daughter, Truma. I'm 68. The age gap between the younger kids and me is not something I think about much because I feel physically about like I did when I was 40, or at least, I think I do. |

The film camera's ability to physically move through space, not zoom through space - every time we have a video camera the movement is through zoom; every time we have a film camera it is a physical movement. |

The App Store has democratized the creation of content. As a 12-year-old kid, I was able to put my application on the store. No one knows who's behind the screen so you can't tell I'm a 12-year-old. |

Music is pretty intimate stuff and I can only work with very few people: Gonzalez being one, Mocky being another and, on a completely different level, Broken Social Scene. With Broken Social Scene it's not one-on-one, it's a one-on-12. It's very healthy, very comfortable, like a big pot luck supper among old friends. |

I'm the one who gets called up about a problem. I'm the one who gets called up about the street lighting and the abandoned car. I'm the one who gets blamed if the police don't arrive. I'm the one they blame if a city truck is broken down. |

I personally think a fight scene is the most cinematic thing you can witness because all the elements of filmmaking come together, you know, with the camera speed changes, editing, make up effects and general smoke and mirrors of trying to make it look like you are hitting someone when you're not. It's filmmaking in it's purest form, I think. |

My youngest daughter sings. She's going to be very good. She's graduated from Music School and she's been working down around and getting her feet wet, you know. I had her out with me for a year just showing her the ropes a little bit, but she's going to be all right. |

There are many things in your heart you can never tell to another person. They are you, your private joys and sorrows, and you can never tell them. You cheapen yourself, the inside of yourself, when you tell them. |

Every bit of me is devoted to love and art. And I aspire to try to be a teacher to my young fans who feel just like I felt when I was younger. I just felt like a freak. I guess what I'm trying to say is I'm trying to liberate them, I want to free them of their fears and make them feel that they can make their own space in the world. |

75 lb pitbull ambush hate crimed me as I was getting out of my car. Luckily it jumped on the door, so I didn't actually get out, and then proceeded to attack every part of my car. Tried to back out and get away without hitting it, but it was pretty angry. Speeding off trying to lose it, next thing I know it's outrunning me at 25mph while attacking my car. Tried really hard not to run it over, but I'm pretty sure I hit and ran parts of it over, and it was still faster than my car, and simultaneously attacking it. Finally lost it with some trick maneuver (very fast turn). Called the police. The police then called me back saying that the owners called 911 because their crazy 75 lb (so it was probably bigger) pit bull escaped. The police also called me when the dog was recovered because they rightfully assumed I was too scared to leave my car after my initial description, and the owners' description. Seriously like a bad stress nightmare, but in real life. Horrifyingly jumped see...

China Says it Cloned a Police Dog To Speed Up Training

'My Airbnb Guests Threw a New Year's Party For 300 People'
"What's the worst that can happen?" thought Nicko Feinberg last December when he listed his house on Airbnb.
The listing explicitly said no parties. Then a request came through to book the house for one night on New Year's Day. It was from a young man, probably in his early 20s. He had one review but it was terrific.... I picked up my boys and we stayed down the road at my mother's apartment... When I got back [the next day] I saw three or four cars in the driveway. I threw my food down and knew I was screwed. Inside there were abo...

Hackers Stole 600 Gallons of Gas From Detroit Gas Station, Report Says
Police in Detroit are looking for two suspects who allegedly managed to hack a gas pump and steal over 600 gallons of gasoline, valued at about $1,800. From a report:
The theft took place in the middle of the day and went on for about 90 minutes, with the gas station attendant unable to thwart the hackers. The theft, reported by Fox 2 Detroit, took place at around 1pm local time on June 23 at a Marathon gas station located about 15 minutes from downtown Detroit. At least 10 cars are believed to have benefitted from the free-flowing gas pump, which still has police befuddled. Here's what is known about the supposed hack...

This is a review of the new JMT album on Amazon:
I was waiting for the train having a cool blunt session while listening to the new Jedi Mind Tricks album, and just my luck, some torn skinny jean, tight neon polkadot T-shirt, sugar shoes wearing, hot Cheetos hair rocking weirdo is killing my vibe by signing Drake songs out loud. At first I asked him nicely to keep it down cuz I just got off probation and I didn’t want to catch a case, but the clown kept on mumble rapping and signing. Then out of no where, in a high pitch estrogen like feminine voice, he starts talking about how Drake is the best rapper alive and I’m hating on him cuz I’m a hater, Hahahaha!!! I tried to pay him no mind, so i turned up the volume on my headphones, and kept head nodding to the music, but the guy obviously wan...

I had a dream that my mom loved my sister more than me and was not at all trying to hide it. When I confronted her about it, she agreed but made excuses for it. Francis bought her a present and she was rude and rejecting of it.
Also in my dream, the smoke alarm in my house went off, and we went outside and saw that our next-door neighbors' house was burning down. I tried to call the police, but they were being really unhelpful. In the end, I'm pretty sure the wife/mother in the house died, and maybe one or two of the kids, too. I felt partially responsible, but maybe just in a survivors'-guilt way.
