The Owasso police won't release the autopsy of 16 year old non-binary Nex Benedict who died the day after being beaten in a school bathroom. The police released a statement saying they didn't die of trauma.

The police are involved in a cover up.
The school is involved in a cover up.

Time for the Feds to get involved


Dajo9, nobody here is defending the bullies or clearing the school of wrongdoing. You do a fantastic job of continuously never admitting you are wrong when you are wrong nearly all the time.


Everyone here who engages in posting Libs of Tiktok is defending the bullying and participating in the bullying.

I posted some incorrect reports on this topic and some original reporting was inaccurate. I'd do it again. Matters like this can't go quietly into the Oklahoma night. Full sunlight. Until a full story is released we can assume the worst.

By the way, the full story isn't out yet and still needs to come out. A summary report has been released and not the full autopsy. We all know from Bill Barr that summary reports can be dishonest. Story is not closed until the full autopsy is released.

Honestly, I would not have thought to describe poster Genocide Joe as a "bully".

Poster Yogi Sock Puppet is a serial bully and a master of projection. He's also a giant cry baby. He says he ain't Republican, but liars, hypocrites, and morons…

And yes, I too am a bully. I'm one of the nastiest f&@king bullies on here. I know a bully when I see one. Difference is, I bully the bullies and hypocrites. Yogi Sock Puppet bullies everyone because nobody likes him.

I wouldn't characterize you as a bully, either (sorry, if I am supposed to). This is probably just a question of semantics: In my definition of a bully, the people who are being bullied by the bully need to feel like they're being bullied, or somehow victimized.

Yogi has insulted me before, but I didn't feel like I was being "bullied".

I'm not sure if you've ever insulted me before. Give it a whirl and I'll tell you how I feel!

Again, semantics. An "insulter" may not necessarily be a "bully" (IMO... but nobody ever mistook me for Noah Freaking Webster, so who knows)

By the way, the mom who pulls Ralphie off of unBear89/Scut also played the wife of the goalie who became a lesbian cause she was bored and lonely when her husband was on the road (and then Reg "bullied" Hanrahan in the subsequent game).

I think all this acknowledgment is just feeding a low IQ person's desire for any kind of attention. I think I may have just fed the same needy poster as well. Oops.

Look at all the crybabies and sock puppets.

Oski - - if I may offer some advice, stop engaging. If you just step back and realize that a grown person actually wrote that, it may cause you to have some sympathy for the person. Nothing on the internet ever truly remains anonymous, and I realized trolling thrives on attention. Maybe best to ignore. I've regretted sniping on substantive disagreement that turned to personal insults against posters who are probably good guys in real life. Trolling is different, so there is nothing to gain from those who engage. There is no there there with engaging where the beginning and ending is just insults unrelated to substantive debate.

A good message for all of us. Much of the posting is quick, often impulsive, and we say things we likely would never say to someone in person. If we must post, we, (or at least I) might do well to take a deep breath, think about it for a while, maybe a long while, before doing so. We might even forget about it. I've regretted it almost every time I engaged in the ones you described. So thank you.

Berkeley graphic artist David Lance Goines passed away last year, he was a local fixture and made his art nouveau imprint into many local venues, working in his studio in the heart of the gourmet ghetto on MLK:







Nice obit here:

https://edibleeastbay.com/2023/04/04/david-lance-goines-r-i-p/

"Wanting to say something personal about David Goines outside of the traditional eulogy or obituary formatthat context is reserved for those who knew him much better than II've gone back to an interview I did with David last year for an oral history project related to a book I'm working on about Berkeley food in the so-called gourmet ghetto of the 1970s. My journalist self wanted to know David's thoughts about our food scene, and my artist side wanted to understand the historical roots of his graphic work. Is there a connection between the two, our food and his art? I believe there is. So did David.

What I found out about David in that interview was informative and surprising: his sometimes hyperbolic but deeply considered perspective on California history (Mark Twain and the Gold Rush gave birth to Berkeley's counterculture) that influenced both his poster work and our connection to gastronomy. For David, everything made in a particular time and placeclothing, music, furniture, art, architecture, foodis connected:

"What is the zeitgeist that's forming these things…so that they're all the same? Well, it's in the water, it's in the air… and with the aesthetic emerging out of Berkeley, beginning pretty dramatically in the early 1960s, we were all drinking the same water. We were all breathing the same air, and we were all doing work that is unmistakably the same. And my posters and Alice's food are the same."

His historical and cultural studies covered much greater swaths of time than California's mere 150+ years, and his heroes, political and artistic, extended back millennia, past the Renaissance to ancient Greece.

David compared our cascading victories in the countercultural wars of the 1960s (free speech, antiwar, civil rights) to the defeat of the mighty Persians by the lesser Greeks at Marathon in 490 BCE. David was not shy about this bold proposition:

"[Our victory] wasn't a half-hearted victory. It was 100% capitulation. It's like when the Athenians drove the Persians out of Greece and they never came back. The Greeks had a sense of self that would never have arisen had they not beaten the Persians at Marathon."

"That victory, that sense of self was," David continued, "the key to the spirit of Athens emerging, along with its great men: Plato, Aristotle and Euclid."

"Euclid," I queried, "the mathematician or the Berkeley street?"

He laughed. David Goines did not laugh easily in my experience of him, and at that moment, I felt we knew each other. We were on the same page. Berkeley, "The Athens of the West."

I'll have more to say about David in my upcoming book: about his graphic style, influenced by Jugendstil (the German version of Art Nouveau) and the Japanisme aesthetic he gleaned from his friend and shop neighbor, Kip Mesirow, who designed much of the interior look and feel of Chez Panisse. The story of the culinary principles and styles of our food revolution in the 70s and their relationship to our aesthetic styles in Berkeley, past and present, has yet to be told. David Lance Goines will help me tell it.

Thank you David! Rest in peace, and in love."

L. John Harris

Impressive filmography (212 credits).
He was friends with James Dean and studied acting with MM and McQueen.
He dodged a bullet (literally) being late for Sharon Tate's doomed dinner party.

The Christmas Story bully is a classic case of Boomer mythology conflicting with real life. In my life, I saw Gen X kids respond to bullies by pulling knives - not exactly the kind of escalation you want. For Nex Benedict, they poured water on their bully and got pummeled. Then they ended up dead and people blame them for starting the incident by pouring water on their bully.

These are all kids we are talking about. The problem is the adults and the culture that accepts the bullying. If, as an adult, you accept and push the culture - you are the bully.

In the 60's you either took it from bullies or took boxing or martial art instruction and word got around there were easier targets. Now the victim either kills the bully or 20 classmates. Knowing how to fight has limited value now.

Fairport Convention drummer Gerry Conway dies aged 76



https://mol.im/a/13267857




*Haven't thought of Fairport Convention since I was a young teenager. Since I was aware of the name I figured I must have heard their music on the radio. I went to YouTube and didn't recognize one song. I must have been familiar with the name because they were always on the psychedelic posters for Avalon Ballroom and the Fillmore as a warm up band. I know member Sandy Denny sang on Led Zeppelin's Battle of Evermore.

Guns make all that learning to fight stuff a waste of time for self-defense.

My martial arts instructor told the class "If you came here to learn what to do when someone confronts you in a dark alley then do what I do. Run!"
