We don't need to allow this.

pretty remarkable that Costco has more of a spine in fighting for the rule of law than many major universities and fancy law firms

It’s done

Years ago, AP adopted a policy that when covering police shootings it would not repeat police claims of “fear for their lives” without independent verification bc of how many times they got duped. DA offices have “Brady Lists” of cops they refuse to put on the stand bc they’ve lied too often.

The recent book “Cop Cop,” by two former investigators for NYC’s civilian oversight agency for the NYPD reveals a culture of what is in effect institutional dishonesty. Judge Ellis’s “ICE lies non-stop” opinion in Chicago is not addressing some distinct aberration.

assuming i get the entirety of a tv series if he’s been in it at some point, i think i’m going with david straithairn. he was prolific, and he’s been incredible in some of my absolute faves. (like the expanse, and sneakers)

Disabled people were one of the first groups targeted by the Nazis. They coined the term “useless eaters”. They tested the gas chambers on us. They knew most people wouldn’t fight to save our lives. That’s why the President using the R slur is so dangerous. We’re not expendable

I named my fists Half-Life and Three because when they land it'll be incredible and devastating... just wait for it.

I was raised on these streets

Throwback holiday pic from Brum.

oh wait here's another day ruiner: based on john lee hooker's earliest reported birth year, the street singer in a current day blues brothers reboot could be siouxsie sioux or nick cave or gloria estefan

To paraphrase Holmes, "what it takes many men to invent, a truck driver may discover... no matter how classified".

It is, specifically, a Black American term which was ruined as soon as it was appropriated by white people on both sides as a banal compliment or pejorative without any meaningful reflection.

A federal judge has released footage from nearly four dozen body cameras showing immigration agents’ ‘unprecedented’ use of force during their months-long deportation blitz in the Chicago area.

Set, setting, substance. And I don't care how wonderful your substance is. If your mindset is "I order my entire existence around the delusion that I can defeat death" and your setting is "Mr. Beast whispering horrors in your ear while Grimes plays bad techno," it's not gonna be a great trip

He would be guaranteed to say some shit like "I will give you a million dollars to crush this small flower and thus harm the interconnected web of life on the planet" and it would be five straight hours of existential despair

I've done mushrooms several times and I feel strongly that doing them around Mr Beast would be an extremely bad time

if you enjoy watching it at Christmastime it's a Christmas movie for you and if someone says it's not a Christmas movie they've simply fforgotten that categories are human constructions adjustable by our context and each of us knows our truth in our own way in our hearts that's what I think

Flint. What they do to Black people they do to everyone And yes this too was part of Black Lives Matter It’s why they were terrified And now …

People say they want to manufacture real things in America again BUT they complain that it’s “inappropriate” and “not productive” to talk about how we need lots of guillotines. Like make up your minds!

I will drop a celebrity like a hot potato if they're transphobic. No one is free unless we are all free. When you start to add caveats to who gets autonomy and freedom, we've already lost the battle.

don't really think drugs, as a concept, will ever be able to recover from the reputational hit they're about to take

99% of the world is dead. In a small Minnesota town, 1 woman writes the monthly local paper but it’s actually an epic horror story mailed to your door. THE END TIMES. Brilliantly conceived by @benjaminpercy.bsky.social , published by @badhandbooks.bsky.social. 1 issue in and I already love it.

Alina Habba’s parents emigrated to the US from Iraq citing persecution.

This is revisionist nonsense intent on discrediting the contributions and victories made by the Anarchists. This is police apologia disguised as a post about the labor movement and its accomplishments.

BACK IN MY DAY WIKIPEDIA CAME IN THE MAIL

"Strong floor, no ceiling" is very literally the basis of like every Gilded Age political cartoon

I’m not actually anti-AI. I am against the situation we’re in, where a small # of massive companies are illegally/unethically training ever-larger models that require plundering the natural world. I’m against a world where “AI psychosis” is a thing and where chatbots tell kids to kill themselves.

One thing I learned over the weekend from talking to finance people is that they assume the AI bubble is going to burst and their issue is figuring out when so they can time their trades right.

Also a distinct possibility that the media has decided that it's now time to stop pretending like Trump is actually doing Jack shit and it's not just Oops all viziers.

Like literally. Strong floor, indeed.

Guy who got paid $500k to come up with it: Strong floor, no ceiling, surely this slogan doesn't harken back to literally over a century of Leftist imagery. No need to look up anything.

We're firmly in the Cool Zone™.

The most infuriating part about “AI” imo is that when it collapses like the speculative bubble it is, people will not remember it only exploded because the wealthiest in society thought they could train machines so well so they could fire for the rest of society and eradicate us all

The Maxpedition fatboy was my dad diaper bag for years before that was a thing.

Think about how the PR people trying to rehab sex pests like Louis CK are the same ones suggested by Epstein to his friends in his many, many emails right up til his death in 2019 for rehabbing *their* images.

rich dudes got freakier after butlers fell out of fashion, like say what you will about having domestic servants but clearly it was some sort of moderating force on old rich dudes having a fancy man follow you around saying shit like "oh dear sir, that wouldn't be very becoming"

He can have a spot in Arlington if he obviates the need for a trial.

My preferred candidate in the 2028 presidential primary will declare that she will direct the attorney general to seek the death penalty against Pete Hegseth.

This is such a lib fantasy. First, educate yourself about the long standing official US position on the ICC. Second, he's *our* fascist wannabe war criminal to deal with, so own it. He can be tried under state, federal or UCMJ law for capital crimes. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America...

Honestly I’m pretty irritated about the NYer CK story; fuck him and fuck them for framing him as a genius to be redeemed if he just tries hard enough

I lost my job, I can't afford health insurance, and my son is about to get deployed to Venezuela. But at least I know I'll be able to buy Coca-Cola made with real cane sugar now.
