Tbh if somebody I knew told me they committed a crime such as that my first thought would also be to ask how long they were planning it and why they did it. I think it's a fairly normal response when someone you thought you knew did something you previously thought them incapable of doing.

trump should’ve been in handcuffs in jan 2021 and there is no way to quantify just how much human suffering will result from the disastrous decision to slow walk his prosecution or even avoid it altogether

And if something cannot be trusted to be accurate the vast majority of the time, then it is not actually saving time or making anyone more efficient, due to the need to check it, or the errors it produces that get fixed later 2/2

I have many criticisms but one that I don't hear people talk about often is that it encourages you to move fast, often with disregard to the quality of the content it is producing for you. While I can understand the need for efficiency and speed, I feel it's often at the expense of accuracy. 1/2

"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense

From Stonewall to now: LGBTQ+ elders on navigating fear in dark times LGBTQ+ elders share what survival looks like under a hostile political regime and their advice to young people on taking action, even when they're afraid.

β€œAre things worse than they were before Stonewall? Not yet."

I spoke with LGBTQ+ elders about what survival looks like under a hostile political regime and their advice for young people right now β€”Β which is namely, act even when you're afraid.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.

We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.

They own what happens next.

If Dems were unwilling to fight over cabinet nominees and unwilling to fight over the budget/shutdown, it’s safe to assume they’re not going to fight over anything.

My hot take on score minimums is that they should only be changed once at the start of a new Olympic cycle. Set the standard then and don't deviate from it. Changing it every year is unfair to small fed skaters. We should want more people at Worlds, not less.

You see the same misunderstanding around the phrase β€œbanality of evil” when they assume it means Nazis were boring when it actually means everyone was a Nazi. No one wanted to be anything else.

To not be a Nazi was deviant behaviour

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

I need the judges to stop being so stingy and give Dr. Valtter literally one point. Is that too much to ask. I should not be robbed of the ability to see his short program live because judges refuse to give him ONE extra point.

In my utopian future of figure skating there are same-sex pairs, trans pairs skaters and nb pairs skaters who aren't forced to pick man/woman to participate under, and everyone who wants to & can develop the skills to is able to participate in this beautiful sport. Give me my utopian future now pls.

There’s literally so much music in the video games world. Like it’s actually absurd. We’re living in a musical renaissance and I’d say much of it is coming from the gaming sphere. Especially when you consider the vast amount of music being written. Reminds me of the old days with bach and beethoven
