Exactly, in my case we had a former corrections officer on the jury. Even he voted to acquit.

Parking-aware navigation system could prevent frustration and emissions By minimizing the need to drive around looking for a parking spot, this technique can save drivers up to 35 minutes — and give them a realistic estimate of total travel time.

​New research from @cathywu.bsky.social et al. confirms something I've long suspected:

Navigation apps could save their users a lot of time — and tilt travel decisions toward transit and biking — if they showed users how long it takes to find parking.

I have been on a jury where the arresting officer made contradictory statements and his actions were cast in serious doubt during the trial. We found the defendant not guilty. The defendant could have done it but the cop blew the case.

the main reason to go after the rich is that if you don’t the entire structure of your society is predicated on the whims of people who are entirely disconnected from ordinary life

billionaires are simply too dangerous to exist, and any budgetary stuff that comes out of it is just a bonus

After the first Trump presidency, Democrats ran to Joe Biden—I think largely out of nostalgia for the Obama years that made them feel safe as the pandemic ripped across the country.

But Biden didn’t do what needed to be done after Jan 6. Garland didn’t do it.

Never again.

It seems that Big Tech is following the liberal-authoritarian playbook of using policy announcements to defuse opposition (c.f. Microsoft and Anthropic's recent statements about covering the electricity costs of data centres) while the 'monopoly of violence' is applied to any actual opposition.

Alteration of an XKCD comic that shows an intricate stack of building blocks which looks ready to collapse at the slightest breeze. The whole stack is labeled "TTRPG Design", and it's being held up by a lone tiny block near the bottom labeled "Great GMs".

22) Much of RPG design feels like this (original is "Dependency" by XKCD):

They've definitely killed more and not telling us. Everybody involved—the murderers responsible and the accomplices after the fact—must be prosecuted.

God damn that’s young

Tonight's episode of The Pitt is a fucking doozy. Prepare yourself emotionally.

Here’s an art WIP from my upcoming comic, SLEEPING WIZARDS!

My thumbnails tend to be pretty detailed (they’re basically halfway between thumbnails and pencils) so that stage always takes me the longest ✍️

The fact that this financial shell game is so transparent and also seemingly legal is such a simply condemnation of the entire fucking system. But here we are, just waiting for the crash and ppl going "Who could've known!?"

Omg this is a NIGHTMARE! What a horrendous person. At his trial over the death of his girlfriend, his EX girlfriend showed up to say that he abandoned her in the middle of the night on the same damn mountain. Fortunately, she survived. This is a very bad guy.

first they came for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, and I said nothing, but i did laugh quite a lot

Who could have seen this coming after middle men pinched every penny on sales pricse, Fed contracted production they refused to fulfill, tax credits encouraged production the market couldn’t bear, and we force farmers to buy overpriced equipment they can’t fix themselves.

I used to keep a spare copy of snow crash to loan to my team.

I am impressed by Ric's slow roll with this reveal of Chase

I climbed with a couple who would ascend mount hood in an afternoon with their dog. Some people are just endurance monsters. She once sprained her ankle at Smith Rocks and hopped up to the parking passing tourists the whole way.

Ski Mo athletes are bananas. I've got a riding buddy who does the longer distances and he's an absolute endurance beast.

I watch General Hospital with my wife nightly. TBH I feel soap opera actors are heavily underrated.

This storyline in #GH is making me like Ric. Even after his weird blackmail storyline from earlier.

every time I see a headline about our buildup around Iran all I can think of is that Daily Show episode with Jon Stewart eviscerating Rumsfeld and others and coining the phrase "Learning Curves are For Pussies" because we keep doing the same stupid shit over and over again

The guys doing tree work in my yard were 40’ up with chainsaws having a yelled conversation about Hildegard von Bingen and medieval asceticism and this is sort of why I feel comfortable in Portland.

Olympic athletes, some of whom are teenagers, are held to a higher level of expected maturity than the most powerful man in the world.
