Third degree burns don't hurt because the burns destroyed the nerves. Source: Had 3rd degree burns. The skin graft hurt more.

I'd imagine Thälmann was pretty surprised...

Then Thälmann was arrested and shot and killed in a death camp 11 years later...

Looks like they're updating the article. The AK47 angle is new.

The whole "Punch a Nazi Day!" has two origins:

Captain America #1 - 12/20/1940 - A full YEAR before the US entered the war:

It's not even clear that the suspect had a gun, but you know, what other long, tubular shaped metal object could they POSSIBLY have been carrying near a golf course? 🤔

Shooter was a secret service agent firing at someone they thought had a gun. Suspect was arrested, no word yet if they ACTUALLY had a gun or not.

(I know, I know, NYP, but after going through 5 articles, this one seems to have the most detail.)

"Initial reports suggested two people were firing at each other. However, sources said investigators now believe the Secret Service agent was the only shooter."

Not quite, Will de-registered as a Republican years ago... (checks notes) 2016.

So he's not anti-Conservative or anti-Republican, he's just anti-Trump.

For those too young to remember, there was an era of intellectually honest conservatism. It was led by people like George Will and the late, lamented William F. Buckley Jr.

Buckley would have shot Trump in the middle of 5th Avenue and gotten away with it.

"The bag could have been there a day or two or maybe just hours, but those salty morsels of processed corn made soft by thick humidity triggered the growth of mold on the cavern floor and on nearby cave formations.

“To the ecosystem of the cave it had a huge impact,” the park noted in a social media post, explaining that cave crickets, mites, spiders and flies soon organized to eat and disperse the foreign mess, essentially spreading the contamination."

"Progressives should not make the same mistake that Ernst Thälmann made in 1932. The leader of the German Communist Party, Thälmann saw mainstream liberals as his enemies, and so the center and left never joined forces against the Nazis. Thälmann famously said that 'some Nazi trees must not be allowed to overshadow a forest' of social democrats, whom he sneeringly called 'social fascists.'

After Adolf Hitler gained power in 1933, Thälmann was arrested. He was shot on Hitler’s orders in Buchenwald concentration camp in 1944."

"The tenure for U.S. retail and packaged goods company CEOs has this year on average been about 7 months shorter than chiefs who were in office in 2024 in the autos, finance, tech and manufacturing industries, data to August 31 from executive compensation research firm Equilar show."

"The Alberto Gonzales who authorized torture and war crimes under the George W. Bush administration and then said 'I don't recall' 50+ times under oath when questioned about it? THAT Alberto Gonzales?"

Really you don't need to read more than one chart:

If you vote for anyone other than Harris, you're voting for Trump:

"The 155-year-old Campbell Soup Company plans to drop “soup” from its corporate name, rebranding as The Campbell’s Company. More consumers are reaching for snacks and ditching ready-to-serve soups, and the company has bought up other food lines to grab them."

While this should be obvious to anyone who watched the debate, Trump is out trying to spin it that "all the polls" show he won, when that is clearly not the case.

Was tempted to call this "Debate 2: Electric Boogaloo" but a) A lot of Lemmy won't get the OG reference. and 2) "Boogaloo" has been co-opted and carries an unfortunate connotation these days.

Also, while it's Trump's 2nd debate of the season, it's Harris's first...

It's being run by ABC News at 9 PM Eastern time, 6 PM Pacific, I see MSNBC starts their coverage TWO HOURS EARLY. That's a lot of air time to fill, guys. Good luck!
