It's interesting you brought up Uvalde. My earliest memory of a mass shooting was Columbine in 1999

then there were a string of them, so many of them at this point that I've forgotten. I know there was Virginia Tech, and then Rep. Giffords getting shot in the head, and the Aurora Movie Theater and many more...but the one that really stood out to me was Sandy Hook in 2012, because of the young age of those poor kids who lost their lives that day because of some fucking ugly bloated-face moron with a bowl cut.

but then nothing happened. If anything, the pro-gun whackjobs got even more embedded and defensive in government. That's when I realized if people don't care about protecting kindergarteners, then they're never going to care

I was in South Korea about 9 years ago and all the people there asked me why this shit keeps happening in the U.S. I just shook my head and told them I had no clue and I am doubtful anything will ever change here

i just hope that my nephews can go to school safely and never have to be put in a situation where they could die over something as stupid as this. that's what really bothers me...just the absolute wasted life and people don't seem to care at all

they changed the format of the Pro Bowl to where it's a series of games leading up to whatever that flag football game is. So kind of like a Mini-Olympics except nobody gives a shit lol

The flag football game btw...take your most negative imagination of it, and picture something even stupider. that's what it was lol. the shocking thing is people paid to watch that shit

the Pro Bowl has become a weekend event where the conferences compete in separate events. the Pro Bowl flag football game is the marquee event and i use that term very loosely lol

Just out of morbid curiosity, I watched the highlights on youtube. It shockingly is even dumber than I thought it would be. Just let that sink in haha

The Bills and their fans have just been on an emotional roller coaster. Not only did Damar Hamlin nearly lose his life less than a week ago, but their radio broadcaster suffered a stroke.

also, this score came at the expense of the Bills' hated rivals, who have pretty much dominated them and the league for the last 15-20 years
