Pretty sure that the perpetrators of that regrettable incident were white and based from a church, if I remember the alternative news reports. 
Darn, those non-terroristic ‘lone wolves’, gosh darn it, there’s just nothing we can do!
[And as I’m aware this is my first post here, I’m going to explicitly flag this as dry humour and also appreciation for your post, Poe’s law being what it is and all. ]
that Frederick Douglas, he’s doing great things
And i say to you “Welcome to Boing Boing (commenting)! We hope you stick around.” in a rarely used not-the-least-ironic sense.
(Edited to add hyphens)
There’s ways not to introduce yourself to the commenting community, and there are ways to introduce yourself. @Archon must actually have been lurking for awhile. The ones that claim they’ve been lurking always shitpost on the first try.
Good show, @Archon, hope you stick around.
#NeverForget
We should remember John Cage’s masterpiece of remembrance, 4’33", which assigns a single note played to each of the victims of the Bowling Green Massacre.
Of note, it was in place because of a specific threat identified by the intelligence community.
My god this woman needs an application of the Chair Leg of Truth.
@Auld_Lang_Syne @IronEdithKidd Thank you both very much!
I’ve enjoyed the discussions round here for a while (especially the unnerving tendency for people to apologise for errors and misunderstandings - is this not the Internet?!), however the last few months’ run of ‘new accounts created to say contentious things and vanish’ made me a little nervous about speaking up for the first time - but an opportunity to geek-up on a joke about Alice’s Restaurant? Not even I could resist. 
And now I’ll hush down on the off-topic stuff.
Good day, good people!
I think you’ll get along here just fine
Cryptofascist troll!
(Oh come on, someone had to).
Now that’s the Internet I know and love tolerate! 
I LOL’ed, a little too loudly. Good thing no one heard me.
Of course they didn’t, if you had the speakers turned up and 4’33" playing.
For several years I felt like I had gone though a thinny the past year especially.
That’s great, so is “it didn’t get covered by the press” going to be the new (ahem) “Trump card” they use as an excuse? “There was a huge al Qaeda attack in Sao Paulo Brazil just last week, but it didn’t get covered so nobody knows about it.”
Then you have my sincerest sympathies; the wiki entry does a really poor job of describing how horrific most of those dimensional rips in the S. King universe really are.
Nice try, @Archon. If that’s even your real name…
I read the Dark Tower series so I had some idea.
My roommate would make that joke after learning about the Pixies and having no memory of that band. I expect I came from a universe that didn’t have the Pixies, those kids books were the “Bernstein Bears” and Sinbad was in a Genie movie called Shazaam.
Not just DT, though they are mentioned the most within that particular series;
The Mist, From a Buick 8, the Talisman… King explores the idea quite frequently in his work…
It’s true, my real name is SpamBot#3263 and I’m here to sell you all badly-spelled get-rich-quick schemes once you trust me enough.
