Sharing video of the mosque shooting is illegal in New Zealand.
If you can compose a joke about the irony, good on ya.
But meanwhile it's hard to imagine which team the government is on.
Watching and sharing the video of such a thing would be supremely distasteful, but making it illegal is preposterous.
The entire vampire franchise of films from a few years ago is distasteful, but it shouldn't be illegal to watch them.

This is a worthwhile joke about the (presently continuing) wait for word of the contents of the Mueller report, but when you look at her like that, and she's so beautiful and womanly and enchanting, you can understand why all those technically-unsophisticated, pathetic old men (like Henry Kissinger, George Shulz, and James Mattis) were eager to believe in her completely bogus product (such that they'd serve on the board of her company).
Oh, also Marc Andreesen and half of Silicon Valley, home to some of the most powerful and bullshit-sensitive thinkers in America. Hooksy-linesy-sinkerdoodle.
I'm totally kidding! She's weird-looking, deliberately so. She's theatrically feminine but not alluring, and you'd have thought that would make people suspicious.
Some suggest that the entire Valley needs to get laid.

I sincerely thought this melody would be wonderful, but it's a car crash. I blame Google's fancy "soft-ware."
Also, these companies appear to be ready to blow each others brains out not so much for market share, but to defend a manufacturing process so entrenched and unremarkable that neither of them is making spectacular profits anyway.
I'm starting to appreciate Peter Thiel's rhetoric about the two kinds of businesses: There are monopolies, and there are unprofitable companies.

"I own the water around my dock!"
Ahh, no. Back in the early '80s, the Cabinet of the state of Florida invalidated the titles of any waterfront property in Florida and seized all bottomland below the mean high water mark. If you "own" a dock in Florida, you pay the State for the area its shadow subtends, plus some square footage for whatever yacht it is capable of handling. The Cabinet even declared that living aboard a boat was "non-traditional use" of Florida waters. Of course they'd never been on the water. It was just a power grab.
They got away with all of it because of wealth envy. Those waterfront home asses can just take it, right?
That's why Bob Graham can bite me. He was governor during that time. We lost a huge deed and were faced with enormous fees, in addition to insurance increases due to changes in the legal environment, driven by professional victims.
Sadness.

North Carolina does the same thing. You own the property up to the mean high water mark if the body of water is navigable; if not (creeks, streams, etc.), you own to the middle of the body of water. I don't know if the state charges a tax/fee on docks, but there are some pretty hefty regulations for building one.

I was not impressed with Graham's governorship. For one thing, he presided over the watering down of the state's driving test, stating that "no one parallel parks anymore." Um, Bob, have ya noticed all those parallel parking spots in downtown Tallahassee, right there in the shadow of the giant phallus that is the state's capitol? They've got cars in them. How do you think those cars got there?

This is probably an industry-disrupting news story——
But there's so much advertising and intrusive promotional material in the web page that it's impossible to concentrate on what's written.It's like dance numbers in a lecture.
It's like jello shots in church.
