I remember when multiple school busses of students went missing and it turned out the Mexican military thought they were rivals of the local cartel pretending to be students, so they handed the busses over to said cartel. Who immediately murdered everyone on board, then hid the bodies and the vehicles after they realized they fucked up and killed a bunch of innocent students.

The cartels are capital-E Evil to a degree most people can’t conceptualize, and the authorities are hopelessly corrupt and openly assist them.

“This is my whole thing!”

“Sorry boss, but I thought maybe your ‘thing’ could be ‘getting away with it’ this time.”

There’s a mix of white and black beads. You just don’t see any black ones drop in the video because the last (first) line is all white.

There’s a perfectly reasonable explanation.

I remember when I didn’t feel preemptive dread every time I went to check the news.

Crises used to be rare. Remember when minor celebrity drama dominated the news cycle for weeks at a time because there was nothing else worth reporting? Now crazy shit’s happening daily, to the point scandals that would have been career-destroying just a decade prior are buried and forgotten within days.
