It's an old term for pirates. Some of us believe the term was repurposed/coined by Brady Haran on... iirc Hello Internet?

You know how I get these scars?

I dropped a gun and shot myself in the face, because I'm a "responsible gun owner."

Then why do I have Goo Gone? Unless it worked too well and all the Goo is gone?

Only fellow wonks and maybe a whole bunch of other people who listened to whatever this guy was on but...

Lots of people who support or identify with BLM have made it a point to say it happens to white people too. I've plenty of times pointed out the killing of Daniel Shaver, and I know I'm not the only one. If you haven't heard us saying the problem affects everyone, then you aren't listening. You're hearing only what you want to hear; the parts that make you angry or justify your anger.

I mean, I do care. We share a world, so some interest in other countries is healthy. Now I'm not super invested or anything, but I still care to some extent, on at least basic levels.

My knees certainly ain't teenagers anymore. Nor is my digestive system...

Gotta make money somehow?

My company's owner (were an MSP, maybe 30-40 employees back then) somehow got a backdoor deal on some N95 masks for us at the company, and we had a lot of work from home too. I'm not sure they were quite as good as official ones, but they were still pretty good until more masks became available.

Behind the Bastards has an episode about Jim Caviezel, and in it they discussed several anonymous and one non anonymous retelling of working with the man. If the allegations are to be believed, he kept being worse and worse not understanding his characters motivations, and they had to adjust some stuff to stop him ruining the show. They mention him doing stuff like actually harming other actors/stunt doubles if he was doing action scenes, a desire to just kill and shoot up enemies, and being really bad later on about following the script.

There's a Last Week Tonight on it. He basically wasn't actually popular and 9/11 saved his image. Rudy was also was in the tough on crime crowd and allowed Stop and Frisk, which of course turned very racist. The episode has a number of other issues he had before 9/11 also.

Edit: as for making it better, I don't have a ton of details, but crime was already trending down before his tenure, while his tenure as mentioned got pretty bad for people of color. So it might depend on who you ask.
