Starbucks done EFFED up in Korea. Bad. May 18th just passed, Democratic Movement Day, when rose up after the military dictatorship sent tanks to mass-murder citizens. Some inappropriately call it "Tank Day." Starbucks commemorated Tank Day with a sale on tank tumblers. It gets much worse...

As a science fiction writer I really fucking resent tech bros for ruining the phrase "artificial intelligence." 80 years of it being all about cool androids and interesting computers destroyed by five years of "Spicy autocorrect making everything shittier for money." NEVER FORGIVE.

The Arlington National Cemetery Memorial apparently has deleted references and information on everyone interred there who wasn’t a white straight man from their database - attempting to sweep their existence under the rug. My thoughts on this obscenity cannot legally be shared on this platform.

Sir story, but dementia math.

let this be a message to Americans who join the military. the GOP will campaign on your death and use their power to delete your existence from the history books once it becomes inconvenient.

This - and by "this" I mean all of it, including the special master reports - is an incredible read. Not a shocking or surprising one, given the involved firm. But an incredible one.

Given that modern Republicans experience the existence of Black people as being discrimination against white people, this seems plausible.

When I was younger it always seemed very clear to me that we'd reach a time, likely the 2020's, where some white dude US president aggrieved over loss of power would trash the world in a temper tantrum. But I thought it would be about peak oil, not Ghostbuster remake grievance and fear of windmills

FUCK ICE NOW AND FOREVER

Some notes now that I’ve seen the transcript of the hearing, thanks to @lizdye.bsky.social . First: the government dismissed the felony count in an effort to convince the judge not to make them produce full transcripts, knowing they showed serious misconduct.

Anyone following this knew that the prosecution was hiding something, and that it was bad. Anyone who says they knew it was this bad is lying to you.

HOLY SHIT IT'S REAL

HOLY SHIT prosecutors kicked off grand jurors and then re-presented the case against the Broadview 6, then altered the grand jury transcripts to hide it from the judge. www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

HOLY FUCKING SHIT

Federal prosecutors *redacted* the grand jury transcript they gave to the judge who wanted to see it. GEE I WONDER IF THEY DID SOMETHING WRONG.

Worth noting that this is actually a meta-question-- it's not "what policy do you think is good?" It's "what policy do you think other, imaginary people would think is good?" This encourages the "Everyone Think Like a Pundit Rather Than as a Citizen" disease that plagues political commentary.

So there's a ton wrong with this, but let's pay particular attention to Alito saying that "mentally re****ed" was "standard terminology of the time." That's some revisionist-ass bullshit. In the 1970s the r word was a common insult & professionals were moving away from it. They love their bigotry.

This headline is fuel for the right-wing anti-migrant reaction machine, but the article reveals the employer knowingly brought her to the UK under a visitor visa to employ her, then denied her a work permit—and most importantly!—refused to pay her any wages. This looks approximate to modern slavery

Hell of a week for the opposition: 8 Senate Dems voted to confirm a Trump judge who wouldn’t admit Biden won. A Dem governor pardoned an election denier who orchestrated a breach of her county’s election system. 8 House Dems voted for a bill attacking trans rights in schools. Feel represented?
