James Scurlock, a 22 year old black man, was peacefully protesting in Omaha last night before he was murdered. A GoFundMe has been set up for James’ family.
The man who murdered James Scurlock is named Jake Gardner. He is the owner of a downtown Omaha bar called The Hive. He’s a known transphobe and racist. Jake Gardner was yelling racial slurs before and during the murder. There was a video taken of the incident by another protester. Jake Gardner was held by police for just two hours before being released from custody without bail. As of the afternoon of 5/31 police are outside of his bar protecting him and his business, while Gardner sits out on the patio. https://fbatimes.com/2020/05/a-known-suspected-white-supremacist-in-omaha-named-jake-gardner-killed-a-black-youth/
Jake Gardner’s cousin posted his phone number

DID YOU KNOW that proper pearl necklaces actually have knots between each pearl?
This is done to stop the pearls from rubbing up against each other, potentially causing damage and discolouration to each bead, and also so that if the string breaks it’s unlikely that any more than one or two pearls will fall off the string. Pearl necklaces (and bracelets, for that matter) need re-stringing regularly, to make sure that the string isn’t stretched, frayed, or otherwise damage, which would put the necklace at risk of breaking, and when they are re-stringed properly, new knots are always tied between each pearl.
This post brought to you by the stop making pearls scatter everywhere whenever you break a fancy lady’s necklace when murdering her, thriller writers, all you’re doing is revealing she was wearing shitty plastic beads gang

I remember doing this as a theatre exercise. Make all those sounds, in order, so you can feel it moving further back into your mouth. Then, reverse it.
Oh, *excellent.*
This is how the alphabet should be
my favourite trope is “antagonist and protagonist narrowly avoiding each other in the same space” and The Emperor’s New Groove nails it perfectly I wish more media did stuff like this
Emperor’s New Groove was ahead of its time for a multitude of reasons lmao
It’s been like three thousand years and they still haven’t figured it out.
Everything movies taught me about archery is wrong. This is a complete mind-blower. 8D
If you are even remotely interested in archery or medieval combat, check this out, it’s just great!
OMFG EVERYONE PLEASE DROP WHAT YOU’RE DOING AND WATCH IT RIGHT NOW O_O
HOLY HELL
Not only is this fascinating, there are a lot of images from art history here. It just goes to show that what you can learn from the past isn’t limited to facts you can know, but things you can do.
My favorite part?
He learned this doing research for LARPs (Live Action Role Playing):
Lars Andersen originally started using bow and arrow to fight in pretend battles during Larps (live action role play) events, where he played a soldier in a medieval-inspired army. While Larps can be about anything – the Danish/Polish Harry Potter inspired larp College of Wizardry (cowlarp.com) recently got world-wide media attention and there wasn’t a rubber sword in sight there – many Larps take place in fantasy worlds inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings. And it was at one of these Larps, that Lars started to learn to shoot fast while moving.
In 2012, Lars Andersen released his video, “Reinventing the fastest forgotten archery”, where he showed how he had learned to shoot from old archery manuscripts. Using these old, forgotten techniques, Lars demonstrated how he was now the fastest archer on the planet, and after its release, the video got 3 million hits on YouTube in two days.
Since the 2012 video was released, Lars has studied and practiced, and he is now able to fire three arrows in 0.6 seconds – a truly stunning feat making him much faster than the legendary fictional archer Legolas (played by Orlando Bloom in the Lord of the Rings movies).
The time benchmark he was trying to achieve, according to the video, was the expectation of the speed at which “Saracen” archers were expected to shoot. In fact, most of the source material as far as I can see isn’t European.
A lot of the techniques described are also used in Mongolian Archery, which requires being able to shoot from horseback, and is traditionally practiced by men and women. You can see a video here.
He is 100% morally right to do this. Not to make a funny cool video into a “topic” but how about we start talking more about how tow companies are part of a predatory system in which trivial errors are given harsh legal penalties for the sole purpose of generating money? Sometimes not even errors on your part. Your car could break down or get wrecked and you still have to pay impound fees if you can’t get back to it fast enough. Your car can get STOLEN BY CAR THIEVES and you still have to pay impound fees. You could be driving, suffer a heart attack or stroke, have to abandon your vehicle to go to the hospital and have to pay impound fees. You could park legally, get injured or mugged or lost or otherwise unable to get back to your car before the parking expires and have to pay impound fees. You could DIE while you’re out with your car and your family will have to pay impound fees.
The fees start in the hundreds and increase every day the car isn’t retrieved. This can take away someone’s only mode of transportation and cost them their entire job and ability to live. Maybe forty or fifty years ago anybody with a car could be reasonably assumed to have some savings or a friend or family who could help with this and it was just a “darn it! My poor wallet! Aw man!” situation but today it’s more often a “guess I need to beg for public donations or kill myself” situation.
My husband's car was stolen. We reported it to the police, the insurance company gave us appropriate compensation, we went and bought a new one.
29 days after the theft, we got a phone call from a tow company. They had found the car abandoned in the side of the road a DAY after it was stolen, impounded it, and started racking up fees. They're legally required to contact the owner within 30 days, so that's what they were doing.
We were stumped, so we called the insurance company and asked them what we should do. They said, "Let us handle it."
They wound up having to pay the tow company TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS.
One of my coffee shop co-workers got arrested at work once, she ended up having to spend three days in the county jail (unpaid traffic tickets leading to a suspended license; getting pulled over on a suspended license that she didn’t know had been suspended leading to being charged with a misdemeanor; failure to appear leading to a bench warrant; and this is how you end up in jail for one traffic ticket the system is abusive and targets the poor). A dipshit small-town cop was cruising around behind businesses and scanning license plates to see if he could get his quota up.
When the cops put her in the back of their car they started to call the tow company at which point my boss was like “????? Why? She’s in my parking lot? The car can stay.”
The cop was like “well, she doesn’t have a right to leave her car here so we’re going to tow it, she’s getting arrested, she has to deal with the consequences”
And thankfully (in this situation) my boss was an asshole and he was like “Look, man, I give free coffee to everyone who matters in town, the city council likes me more than they like you, the police chief knows me better than she knows you, if you bring a tow truck into my lot to take this car when I, the business owner, have not called to have a car towed and she, the car owner, has not called for a tow I’m going to go to walk into your station and file a report for grand theft auto.”
My boss ended up actually taking her keys and driving the car back to her apartment, which is good because the dipshit cop showed up at the end of my shift to hassle me about “loitering” in the back of the coffee shop where I’d just locked up and blocked me in with his cruiser asking where the other car had gone because he was going to have it towed.
We did the math on it and if our boss hadn’t prevented the tow it would have cost over $900 in impound fees for the 3 days she’d spend in jail. At that point minimum wage was $8/hr and we made *a tiny bit* more than that so basically it would have cost this girl over a hundred hours (nearly three weeks worth of work with the way our hours shook out at the coffee shop) to get her car back.
Anyway that same year the cops in that city towed a car to the city yard, opened up the hatchback, and shot a guy who had been sleeping in his car:
Also in 2009, at Approximately 3:30 a.m. Jan 30, a Sierra Madre police officer discovered a Nissan SUV within the city that had been reported stolen. The Nissan was towed back to the rear of the police station on Sierra Madre Blvd. To their surprise officers opened the hatchback of the SUV and found a man in the vehicle’s cargo area where he had allegedly been sleeping under a blanket. Why the officer(s) didn’t see the individual before the car was towed has been the subject of much speculation and supposition. 46-year-old Jason Jensen, had allegedly been living in the car that had been reported as stolen . SMPD’s Amos then shot Jensen with a single round to the upper torso. The internal investigation was completed and placed Amos is back on duty.
(the car wasn’t actually stolen, there was an ownership conflict and it had been reported stolen by a co-owner, not that sleeping in a stolen car justifies getting shot by the goddamned cops)
So, you know, fuck the police.
And look, I’m a reasonable person, I understand that sometimes someone blocks you in and needs to be towed, that’s an actual matter of public safety; I get that when someone is in an accident there has to be a place to put the car until they’re able to claim it.
But if you’re saying it costs more per day to maintain the space and insurance for a car in an impound lot than it costs for me to stay in The fucking Roosevelt then I say you’re a liar and an extortionate thief, you bloodsucking parasites.
Anyway, if you live in California call your representative about Assembly Bill 516, which would make it harder for police to tow cars.
i know its the mets, but this is the coolest shit i’ve ever seen a human being do
Smoove with it too
This is the kind of shit you see in anime that shows that a certain character is stronger than other characters.
