"mass shooting" usually means one shooter and multiple people hit.

I love imagining him being legitimately confused every night over this. Like, "I don't get it! I said Biden was evil 3 times, said I'd support Trump, AND am not woke. Why don't they like me???"

There's a book called How to Invent Everything: A Survival Guide for the Stranded Time Traveler that covers this stuff. Don't think it's comprehensive enough to actually invent everything from scratch, but still a fun read.

It just says "groupa boykissera" in the Russian alphabet. Transliteration.

Not even just the highest rate. The highest number of incarcerated people! Countries with over 1b people still have fewer prisoners, total.
