🚨 BREAKING: Rap artist YBG Bulletproof reportedly shot and killed outside Chicago gas station
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
No Chicago rapper named YBG Bulletproof was shot and killed. The claim is false; the photo is from an unrelated 2019 incident.

Jake Paul said we need to update the Constitution because of the Second Amendment.
I thought I knew where this was going.
Then he said citizens may need drones, drone EMPs, RPGs, and anti-helicopter weapons.
Not on my bingo card.
But he accidentally made the purest 2A argument there is.
Because anti-gun people love saying:
“You can’t fight a tyrannical government with an AR-15.”
Okay.
Then let us have what the government has.
That is the logical endpoint of their own argument.
If the Second Amendment exists as a check on tyranny, then “the government has better weapons” is not an argument against the Second Amendment.
It is an argument for taking it seriously.
Where I split from Jake is simple:
We do not need to rewrite the Second Amendment.
We need to read it.
“The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”
Arms.
It does not say pistols and shotguns only.
So be honest:
Did Jake Paul accidentally make the best pro-2A argument of the year?
Pretty cool
In 1983, an 80-year-old Navy admiral held up a piece of wire and proved that almost every engineer in the room had been lying to their bosses about the speed of their own computers.
Grace Hopper cut the wire to 11.8 inches — the maximum distance light can travel in one nanosecond. Anyone who quoted a chip speed in nanoseconds without knowing that number didn't actually understand what they were selling.
The wire wasn't a teaching prop. It was a public test. Generals and executives had been nodding along to "nanosecond" for years without being able to picture one — she made the invisible unit something you could hold, and something you could be caught not understanding in front of a room.
42 years later, computers run in picoseconds, a distance a thousand times shorter than what she was cutting, and nobody hands out the proof on live TV anymore.

Grace Hopper's wire demonstration was a longstanding educational teaching aid she used from the late 1960s to help audiences visualize nanoseconds and signal delays, not a 1983 public test proving engineers lied or were caught not understanding.

No thanks Waymo
A self-driving car saw a gun…
pulled itself over…
and called the cops on its own passengers.
Now, were the people inside probably up to no good?
Based on the story, yeah.
But that’s not the part that bothers me.
The part that bothers me is this:
Waymo said it detected a violation of its terms of service involving a firearm.
Terms of service.
Not a gun law.
Not a judge.
A company policy.
So what happens when a legal gun owner gets in?
What happens if the camera sees an open carry gun?
Does the car pull over?
Does it lock the doors?
Does it call police?
Because once “liability” becomes the excuse, your rights don’t have to be banned directly.
They can just become impossible to use inside the systems you depend on.
Be honest:
Would you get into a self-driving car if you knew it could call police because it saw your gun?
Quite the tribute
The 9/11 Memorial "Tear Drop" sit's directly across from NYC, in Bayonne New Jersey, just the other side of the Statue of Liberty, yet we hear nothing about it.
This beautiful, 100 ft tall monument was gifted to the people of the United States by the people of Russia in 2006, in memory of all those who lost their lives on that fateful day, September 11, 2001.
The breaking in the cracked façade forms the shape of the two towers.
The giant suspended tear drop signifies the tears of the entire world that day.
Maybe it's something that needs to be known, starting today.
I love dogs, haven't had one in a while. Appears i have a little more reason these days.

“He’s got no Dog - I don’t know why he’s here.”
Woman’s suspicions are confirmed.
Absolutely terrifying.

Kudos Mr Fetterman. True Leadership listens to and serves the people. Not a party. I and many others are grateful

Well done Fetterman. Leadership doesn't have colors. It tracks the pulse of its people and responds in kind. Thank you John. This took serious courage.

If a 5min mic drop was emulating a Tyson knockout, this is it
They’re really showing their true colors. Everybody was all pride this inclusion that until Roysha popped on the scene, now it’s get surgery, take hormones, wear a dress? The hypocrisy is astounding! These haters don’t care about Blacks, they don’t care about Womxn and they don’t care about Transgenders. Y’all are fake allies! You don’t know my struggle.
They deny my existence and participate in this trans genocide, because I say it like it is? Black womxn can’t even call a spade a spade out here? Being 👏🏽 A 👏🏽 Womxn 👏🏽 is an experience! It’s not biological or scientific. Evolutionary biology is cis normative, patriarchal, white supremacy! There is no such thing as gender, it’s a choice, it’s fluid. Like my body is my choice and it’s full of fluid.
I am both, I am neither, I am beyond! This is my ladyboy magic era. The moon is in the house of Capricorn! Okkkkkur! 🤏🏽
