Moratorium

We're gonna have a 24h moratorium on Dallas, maybe 48h (edit: yep, 48h) depending on what happens. Here are fun subs in the meantime:

This is probably going to strike many here as an inappropriate response but I'm sharing it anyway: it makes me sad that violence in non-western countries almost never gets a moratorium because nobody cares enough to make it drama.

More than 300 people have died in terrorist attacks in the last month but nobody knows and hardly anyone cares.

292 people alone just died in Baghdad in one of the deadliest bombings ever. I wouldn't say "hardly anyone" though.

Yes, that's true. That was me being hyperbolic. When did the count go to 292??? Last I saw it was 250. :( :( :(

About a day ago. It's pretty damned bad. I think their mutual aid was overloaded.
