Men inside San Quentin had ‘no expectation of survival’ during tsunami scare California’s failure to include incarcerated people in emergency plans shines light on the life-threatening dangers facing people in custody

At San Quentin, incarcerated people had ‘no expectation of survival’ during tsunami scare, ray levy uyeda reports. CA’s failure to include incarcerated people in emergency plans shines light on the dangers facing people in custody as climate change worsens.

by age 30 you should have:

* strong opinions about birds

* parasocial friendships with other people's pets

Say what you will about International Capital but are you not at least still a little surprised at how cowardly they’ve turned out to be? And all because there is one weird old drooling pervert dementia patient doing whatever he wants every single day? And fucking with their actual money too! I had been under the impression this entire time that that was one thing that you couldn’t do. I thought that they had Jasons Bourne available for scenarios much like this. Just one of the many ways in which International Capital has let me down.

It’s actually hilariously sad how easily people are fooled by people’s post politics PR rehab “Kamala was actually against the genocide” is the same as the “George bush sad old man that paints dogs” garbage

THEY HIRE PR FIRMS FOR THIS YOU FUCKING IDIOTS

For those who don't know, Blood Tribe is a neo-Nazi group. These groups sometimes pile out of vehicles and do quick marches that they can film and post online. This time, they ran into some folks who weren't down with seeing Nazis on their streets, and they got beat.

Why should I care about what you wrote if you didn’t care enough to write it yourself?

ICYMI, you can make a fashion statement when you buy the shirt below.

"He's a piece of shit, but let's get the political science stuff out of the way," Steven told me when I asked if he thought support of Tesla could be considered apolitical. "Elon Musk has platformed white supremacists and antisemites on X. He got rid of all the moderation. He put back accounts that were clearly neo-Nazis. He's changed algorithms to promote that type of hate. Him and DOGE did massive cuts in the government, including our civil services. He's cut cancer research. Did I mention he was a giant piece of shit?" "He's cut our aid to Africa, which Will result, without exaggeration, in millions of women and children and innocent people dying. Millions," he said. "I'm not a big fan of people who give the Hitler salute. I mean, I'm kind of fussy like that. He gave it twice at Trump's inauguration," he continued. "He's a Nazi. And he cheats at video games. You have another question?"

lol at this response to a “man on the street” interview with protestors at the Tesla diner

The headline like this which lives in my mind forever www.nytimes.com/2021/06/22/s...

this is a good thread but I might actually take it further -- I don't think manosphere shit is actually about getting laid, I think it's literally about male loneliness, by which I mean, men addressing their loneliness via homosocial bonding through misogyny

Mayor signed onto the original brief at the last minute, a month after the raids started.

ADL Musk

I spoke with 40+ sources for a look inside the Anti-Defamation League. Here’s some of what I found.

ADL’s gentle response to Elon Musk’s infamous salute was partially driven by his support of Israel. To ADL, that indicated he didn’t have “antisemitic tendencies.” (1/x)

“Two of my adult kids, who live in other cities on the West Coast, received pizzas that they did not order, and we received one at our home in Seattle. All three were in the name of Daniel.”

The shooting that killed a police office (plus three other people) is being presented as a major challenge for the guy who is not Mayor.
It underlines why the NYPD operates as a law unto itself: political candidates cannot criticize it without media punishment.

But the surge in newsletters has been overwhelming. Whether it’s writers like me who’ve never worked in a traditional newsroom, journalists who’ve left or been laid off from traditional jobs, or established newsrooms entering the newsletter business, there’s a newsletter around every corner. Instead of subscribing to a single newspaper for columns and articles by a dozen journalists, now you have a dozen separate newsletter subscriptions, with articles appearing haphazardly in your email inbox amid bills, business communications, marketing spam, order confirmations, and two-factor authentication codes.

Even as a newsletter writer myself, I sometimes miss the newspaper. Sure, maybe half of the articles I paid for were deeply uninteresting to me, and sure, the executive overlords and editorial teams of the one-time titans of journalism seem to be in a competition to see who can most eagerly defend fascism, but hey: at least I could choose when to read the news, go to the newspaper and get my fill, and then put it away. No pings in the middle of my workday pulling my focus away from my writing. No notifications during my planned relaxation time, alerting me to some new horror. No threats to my inbox zero, requiring me to choose between staring neurotically at the unread emails notification or marking an email as read only to lose it forever. Maybe there was something to be said for the newspaper.

What if you could take all your favorite newsletters, ditch the data collection, and curate your own newspaper? It could include independent journalists, bloggers, mainstream media, worker-owned media collectives, and just about anyone else who publishes online. Even podcast episodes, videos from your favorite YouTube channels, and online forum posts could slot in, too. Only the stuff you want to see, all in one place, ready to read at your convenience. No email notifications interrupting your peace (unless you want them), no pressure to read articles immediately. Wouldn’t that be nice? Platforms like Substack recognize this appeal, and invite you to follow numerous writers in a tidy feed on their app. But with Substack, you’re limited to following only the writers who publish on that platform. You’re also at the mercy of their rapidly accelerating enshittification, as they work to lock readers and writers into the product, while making the experience worse for both. There’s a more enshittification-proof option.

But the explosion in newsletters is overwhelming as a reader. Instead of one paper with a dozen writers, you’ve got a dozen newsletters scattered across your inbox.

What if you could curate your own custom newspaper? All your favorite writers, no spam, no notifications, no surveillance.
