Ah, I haven't really followed them close enough to catch running gags. Figured it was them recycling content, which would be disappointing since they've remained funny for a very long time.

It’s a deliberate story frame they use for every school shooting, right down to phrasing and quotes. It’s more like a grim ritual to denote the tragedy, akin to a bugler playing Taps. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the prevalence of these shootings, a female shooter was bound to happen, but it still is almost entirely a male problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twenty-four years ago, my then-eleven year old came home from school with the news that they'd been on lockdown. A seventh grader brought a handgun, ammo, and a kill list to school. Fortunately, he told a friend, who told a teacher, and they were able to get his knapsack (where he'd put everything) away from him without incident. This was twenty-four years ago. So much has changed. Why is this still the same? 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
