      You’re surprised? Being out of touch is kind of the job of the mainstream media.

    I’m mostly amazed that NBC or another outlet didn’t somehow look at Mangione’s first name and make some insane attempt to link his violent acts with a Mario Bros. game.

    In other words the Fediverse Canvas 2024 was a gathering of murderers. So many violent symbols like this:

    There was a segment on the Blaze Radio Network doing the same thing. Ignorance is bipartisan.
