I generally enjoy The Guardian's critics and their articles, but I just read the lousiest take on One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest.
This scene had nothing to do with declaring a win despite losing. McMurphy wanted the others to see it's worth trying to do something even if you know you'll fail.

This is beyond horrible. People would travel to Sarajevo and pay to be a sniper so they could shoot civilians like gun range targets. Link to source follows.

It's worse than that. Blinkist is an app that reduces books to a short précis for people too busy to read, and it mentions the actual reading time for each title. This is Musk's #8, which is clearly a profoundly influential book and clocks in at 11 minutes to read:

I once got a $400 light bill when it should've been ~110. They said my dog was loose, so the meter reader couldn't get the actual number & they averaged my neighbors' bills. I don't have a dog, so after I went to investigate, I got to call back and tell them their guy was afraid of spiders.

Just to share it, I was remembering a thread from 2018 Twitter. The ALT text on the screen cap has the whole thread's text. His point was about arming teachers, but giving poorly trained rookie cops guns can't be any safer.

"It is a truth universally acknowledged..." is one of the most famous opening lines in English, is clearly tongue-in-cheek and is used to immediately display Mrs. Bennet's personality, and this guy has this to say about it:

LAPD raided a diagnostic center claiming it was a grow house due to blacked out windows (patient privacy) and high electrical usage. The electricy powered the MRI, which they didn't know about before the raid.

This is a just released finding of fact in the case of a student being detained for pro-Palestinian speech. 161 pages is barely enough to contain the judge's anger, but he really outdoes himself on pg. 98, when talking about masked ICE agents.

![And there’s the issue of masks. This Court has listened carefully to the reasons given by Öztürk’s captors for maskingup and has heard the same reasons advanced by the defendant Todd Lyons, Acting Director of ICE. It rejects this testimony as disingenuous, squalid and dishonorable. ICE goes masked for a single reason -- to terrorize Americans into quiescence. Small wonder ICE often seems to need our respected military to guard them as they go about implementing our immigration laws. It should be noted that our troops do not ordinarily wear masks. Can you imagine a masked marine? It is a matter of honor -- and honor still matters. To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed masked secret police. Carrying on in this fashion, ICE brings indelible obloquy to this administration and everyone who works in it. “We can not escape history,” Lincoln righty said. “[It] will light us down in honor or dishonor, to the latest generation.” Abraham Lincoln, Second Annual Message to Congress (Dec. 1, 1862).](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:lzay22jg7fuyeztwtqsyy55n/bafkreia6txspxuu6pktoduiy2hoo36ikucpomumd5n2ja7ayb67yt7z6y4@jpeg)
