Ah joy ... Google is turning off its URL shortener and breaking every link that ever used it:

https://developers.googleblog.com/en/google-url-shortener-links-will-no-longer-be-available/

A quick search on lore.kernel.org:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/?q=goo.gl%2F

...turns up about 19,000 messages with affected links. That's a lot of history that is going to become harder (or impossible) to find.

@PurpCat I don't know if they're fangirls, it seems like they're trolls. People have been trying to get Butch Hartman to bring up Randy Stair for years now either because they want his apology, want to hear his thoughts about it, or just want to fuck with him. Though I'm pretty sure that he either isn't aware of it or is just way too traumatized about the event that he doesn't want to talk or even think about it, but I don't get why it's a big deal. I mean iD Software had to bring up Columbine and their stance on it after it happened.

Anyway, most people who follow Butch Hartman don't seem to be aware of Randy Stair. Outside of lolcow circles, not many people were aware of it. It was really just another workplace shooting in some small town. Butch Hartman has been controversial over the years for other reasons, such as taking credit for other people's work, tracing other people drawings for commissions, "liking" Paul Joesph Watson and anti-SJW videos on YouTube, and probably the most egregious, openly joking about Mary Kate Bergman's (Timmy's VA for the Oh Yeah shorts) suicide on a podcast.

There’s a rabbit hole for every possibility. But as far as objective and probable reality goes, four things appear to be true...

So out of pure bile fascination, I decided to watch a clip from Butch Hartman's Christian cartoon, The Garden Cartoon (yes that's what it's called) and apparently it has no problem promoting lust (one of the 7 deadly sins) because one of the characters is talking about how he deserves some action figure to be part of his collection. And I don't want to hear about how the episode is actually about joy from participating in the maze. The character has an action figure collection and the show doesn't point out that it is a problem (lust being one of the seven deadly sins and against the ten commandments means that it is a mortal sin to collect anything).

I can't believe that Butch Hartman is making this. He is free to do what he wants, but this feels like some Christian animation studio decided to copy his artstyle (which is actually copied from Dexter's Lab) to make their low-quality, direct-to-video cartoons to sell to Christian bookstores.

Okay, so we are supposed to believe that a 20-year-old kid “who was turned away from his high school rifle club for being a ‘comically bad’ shot” and that had no military training whatsoever was able to pull this off all by himself? #Conspiracy

You know it is an absolute fucking tragedy how clever:

1. No Capitation, or other direct, Tax shall be laid, unless in Proportion to the Census or enumeration herein before directed to be taken.

Taxes are apportioned equally to representitives

2. The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

You can't do anything that is not explicitly written here

3. No State shall [..] make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts

This constitution was written to last a millennium, and by the hands of weak and servile men it was all wiped out.
