Why are straight white people the only people who don't need a plot justification to exist?

Imagine how difficult it is to try to tell people that you are, globally, the pre-eminent batman researcher...
The headline is technically grammatically correct but ambiguous. "...shot and killed unarmed black man" would have been better. If you absolutely need to stick to word/character count, "shot unarmed black man dead" would be less ambiguous and more in keeping with how people actually use "shot dead". I've watched a lot of westerns and I can think of quite a few where someone says "I shot him dead" but not one where someone says "I shot dead him".
there's no way to know what an IPA will taste like before you crack it open
That's why I like brewers that publish their hops. I'm the opposite of you, I live for the citrusy, fruity type of hops and despise the more traditional floral/piney strains. If I see simcoe on the bill I'll go to bed sober, but if you've got Willamette or Cascade I'll make tea from them.
Nope, just bored to death by the seagulls constantly squawking "THING BAD! THING BAD!"
But of the near-infinite number of things a person dislikes, they only meme about a couple. The Internet loves an easy target...

This is, unironically, what they tell one another we believe
Why is she in quotes?
You see, I always thought that he bought Twitter so that he could have a parallel equivalent to that thing where the president can send a message to every cell phone instantly. You'll notice that one of the first things he did was make himself block-proof. He still shows up in your feed, even if you blocked him. That was actually what caused me to leave Twitter, though his later decisions have validated that. He's even floated the idea of getting rid of blocks altogether. He's slowly making Twitter unpalatable to anyone who isn't part of his white supremacist genius entrepreneur cult.
At a press conference today, Musk was quoted as saying:
Look at me. Look at me. Please, God, I need people to be paying attention to me and validating me all the time. Ever since I fucked it up with my hot goth gf I've been an absolute mess of transparent attempts to remain relevant. I tried to gain your approval by doing what I guessed would be cool guy shit like going on stage with Dave Chappelle and yelling at you small people about how rich I am. I did the meme thing with the fake money and the fun monkey pictures. I spent billions evading your blocks on Twitter. I give up. You don't have to love me. No one will ever love me. But I need you to always be looking at me.
Musk then produced an acoustic guitar and began to play a cover of Matchbox 20's "Push". According to reports, the entrepreneur who used his slave-generated wealth to build a private space program was on the verge of tears and within shouting distance of the key as he sang the line "Don't just stand there/say nice things to me/cuz I've been cheated and I've been wronged".
Okay but no one says "shot dead black man". It would be "shot black man dead".
