You probably didn’t plan to learn this, but this is what a deer roaring championship looks like

The competition among hunters took place recently in Dortmund, Germany. Participants battled for the prestigious title by imitating the roar of a red deer as accurately as possible.… pic.twitter.com/HtSlHOngT1

Honestly, if you went back about 2 weeks ago it was quite rare to see posts like this as I mainly saw normie crap and coomer bait as most people did... But that's all changed now... it's a whole new Boomerbook world!

THANKS FOR PLAYING EVERYONE

As you can see, this week we will do the usual Sat & Sun crosswords, then our special drama-themed crossword made by @ShriekingGeek , then we will do a Sunday NY Times crossword from 2010 which was uploaded this week, and then we will finally end on a cryptic crossword printed last year in The NY Times and uploaded this week, which was fortunate for us since we are going to start adding some cryptic crosswords to line up.

If you are not familiar with cryptic crosswords, I highly recommend you familiarize yourself with how they work if you want to help us solve them. Otherwise, the clues will look like gibberish. Here is a guide from The New Yorker:

I'm convinced at this point Big Foid is assasinating researchers and suppressing investment in robofus.

Everyone who soys out over warhammer funko pops love the totally epic based black soldiers becausw they kill s and r*pe strags and #resist in canon but REDDIT WOKIES WHO ARE COMMIES have infiltrated the entirety of the warhammer universe fanbase and are totally ruining everything.

Here's a bunch of twitter and reddit links that you won't read:

Twitter.com

Reddit.com

Ratchat.chat

As you can see reddit WOKIES Hate warhammer despite being in the fandom and they hate everything about my favorite funko pops. Games workshop seeing the deranged commie wokies have bent the knee and changed the black templars. They are now the DEI templars and in lore are now now all gay black and trans and now look like this:

Here's some more reddit links that you don't care to read or even look at yourselves:

As you can see wokie reddit commies who hate 40k are celebrating because they can now play warhammer 40k as commie wokies. This is literally g*mer gate 4.0 and I can't enjoy my funko pop games anymore because of this and I am making it everyone else's problem.

Post your favorite tracks, shit on each other and prove your tastes supreme.

Fornäs reformulates these types slightly to suit his own purposes. The first he terms "social authenticity, since it uses criteria taken from the level of collective group interaction" and the second he calls "subjective authenticity, since it focuses on the relation between an individual performer and/or listener and her own mind and body, as a state of presence." Both, he points out "stress either source or reception authenticity, with textual authenticity as a silent presumption."

"The third form," he writes, "could be defined as cultural or meta-authenticity, since it moves within (and derives legitimacy from) the level of the symbolic expressions ('texts') themselves." Unlike the first two types, meta-­authenticity deals with the authenticity of texts themselves rather than that of their producers or audiences.

The happy Swedes decided to cap off a month where every day had a bomb attack or jihadi execution with a mass shooting

Motive currently unknown

https://apnews.com/article/sweden-shooting-adult-education-center-6be99a59fa3404ae296589e60c881f6c

About 10 people, including the gunman, were killed on Tuesday at an adult education center in what Sweden's prime minister called the country's worst mass shooting. But a final death toll, a conclusive number of wounded and a motive hadn't yet been determined hours later.

Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson gave a news conference in the aftermath of the tragedy, which happened on the outskirts of Orebro. The city is located about 200 kilometers (125 miles) west of Stockholm.

The school, called Campus Risbergska, serves students over age 20, according to its website. Primary and upper secondary school courses are offered, as well as Swedish classes for immigrants, vocational training and programs for people with intellectual disabilities.

"Today, we have witnessed brutal, deadly violence against completely innocent people," Kristersson told reporters in Stockholm. "This is the worst mass shooting in Swedish history. Many questions remain unanswered, and I cannot provide those answers either.

"But the time will come when we will know what happened, how it could occur, and what motives may have been behind it. Let us not speculate," he said.

Gun violence at schools is very rare in Sweden. But there have been several incidents in recent years in which people were wounded or killed with other weapons such as knives or axes.

Justice Minister Gunnar Strömmer called the shooting "an event that shakes our entire society to its core."

While Swedes read about such violence in other places, Strömmer said that the country previously felt it wouldn't happen there. Other tragedies in Swedish schools weren't to the extent of Tuesday's attack, he said, calling it "indescribably sad" for the community.

CHOOSE YOUR CHARACTER:

Dude was asking the staff to check their system for a record he was looking for, they told him they were too busy (pretty clearly trying to get him to just leave), and then he went off on them. He kept saying: "Think about what you are saying my friend! This is not wise! This is not wise at all!". There were five employees that had no means to actually handle the situation and just kept saying "You need to leave!" while the dude carried on. Finally they gave up and the guy went back to shopping. I was trying to check out, so I got a front row seat to the action. The staff were absolutely seething afterwards, but again, they couldn't handle the situation themselves and just had to hope he would eventually leave. It was funny as frick.

From the OP's post history: she's a single mom living in section 8 with an neurodivergent daughter and has various white women diseases (she requires a "mobility device" to get around apparently)

I know its just an app. Its just one outlet. Its just one space to go on the internet but its also so vital in how to do so many things. I learned how to do the following:

Becoming a better mom

Learning how to advocate for myself and my kiddo

Finding a community

Developing better skills to find better jobs

How fix shit around my house (for better or worse. lol)

What symptoms are signs of (whatever is possibly causing my symptoms)

Unlearning so many shitty traits from systemic issues

ALL.THE.RECIPES.

And now...its just going away. Capitol hill couldn't improve healthcare as a country, improve the housing market, cutting the cost of food, or stopping school shootings but hey, they did it. They banned an app that brought so many people together...

On to the comments:

I see the ban in essence as a form of controlling our algorithms and to only support / allow AI to train on pro US narratives and not on anything counter to it.

I'm a very casual Tik Tok user, and I'm upset about this. People are going to lose their livelihoods over this, and it smacks of censorship. So what's next? Reddit? Tumblr? Pinterest? AO3? It's ridiculous this even happened with so many other issues in our country.

Yep. So many people in my life aren't make the connection of what this actually means. We're witnessing an iron curtain rising. And its devastating.

NGL being a SAHM mom with no village and no friends, tiktok was my socialization and how I was able to find some sort of community and even just talk to people. I'm struggling with the fact that life is about to get lonely and isolating again.

Tik Tok is the reason I finally cut ties with my crappy religion and political party. It's the reason I finally saw why the full range of women's rights matter. It gave me a reason to be politically savvy. And it's the reason I see the ban for what it truly is. I'm terrified for what this means for Americans, and I fully crashed out on my other social media apps today before logging out and deleting them from my phone.

I understand that "he" won, so I won't throw a temper tantrum about it (like some people). I concede that this is what more than 50% of the voting population wanted. But I won't go down without expressing my concerns, if for no other reason than to say "I told you so" in 2 years

Does this idiot not realize that it was that enacted TOTAL ZOOMER DEATH? What does Trump have to do with this

I wish I could do more than upmarsey. This is everything.

I became a RedNote turnover 🤭 it's great, most of the TT's I followed are there now

Actually looking forward to learning Chinese...

I joined TikTok during covid like a lot of people. My algorithm eventually led me down a path of seeing content creators who were talking about SA, abuse, manipulation, gaslamping and all sorts of content on toxic relationships. It was then that I realized after nearly 2 decades with my husband that I was in an abusive and toxic relationship. My normal meter had become so fricked because of his manipulation that I didn't know up from down. I finally had the language to describe what I was going through and the courage to leave. Been out 2 years now and living my absolute best life. Where before I was dying a slow and painful depressing death.

TikTok saved my life.

I'm annoyed by the people who don't use it lacking any empathy or perspective. They'll say it's brain rot, shallow entertainment, a source of misinformation, then turn around and spend hours on Reddit or twitter or instagram like it's any better.

The wishful thinking part gets me. Like, what makes you think Reddit is safe? FB? Groomercord? If one goes, they can do this to whatever they want.

Unfortunately reddit, groomercord, and Facebook aren't controlled by the Chinese so they are safe. But I pray for the day of TOTAL GROOMERCORD DEATH.

Trump: We have a tremendous deficit with Canada. We're not going to have that anymore… And if you're a state, we won't have a deficit. We won't have to tariff you… We don't need their lumber because we have our own forests. We don't need their oil and gas. pic.twitter.com/sMaUbtrKKf

I'm working on my magnum opus of foid hating. I'm going to be a little light on the rightoid patrolling until the work is finished. my days consist of getting wasted and finishing my work.
