I hope it’s a dove 🕊️ or some other fun magic trick
Oh, maybe it’s treats and candies
Whatever it is I’m sure it won’t give everyone in attendance ptsd nightmares.

Mild spoiler and trigger warning for Mr. Robot
This event was the inspiration behind the season 1 finale scene where an E Corp exec kills himself during a live interview.

If only all politicians did this after a felony conviction.

He wasn’t guilty, his accusers were the guilty ones. Dwyer did this so his family wouldn’t lose insurance.

Source? He was a State Treasurer involved in a complicated bribery and contracting scandal. It’s not a he-said-she-said sort of case. His accuser was a deputy comptroller for Pittsburgh Public Schools who noted contracts were wildly overvalued for the work and called the State Auditor General who called the FBI to investigate the matter. Who are you suggesting was lying?

I’m lucky I haven’t seen the video of this guy’s death
Mickey7@lemmy.world 9 hours ago
The video was kinda interesting and wasn’t too gross. It was the complete surprise that made it interesting
