I don't know who needs to hear this, but cops are not allowed to shoot people just because you didn't do what they said.

That is called murder when they do that.

Some cops are working hard to convince people otherwise.

"The world's richest man, a well-documented drug addict who is a Nazi and a major support and adviser of the President of the United States of America, has created a website that produces CSAM on demand at scale while he demands ethnic cleansing worldwide"

Why do ICE thugs wear masks?

in your 20s, you'll come across someone who's wrong online. it's very important than you spend the next 40 years of your life learning and arguing about this topic online long after they've moved on, built a career, and raised a family.

'hey do you wanna hear the thoughts of some self-described gen z republicans?'

Anthony Edwards is a bad man.

Everything ive heard about this fight makes me smile.

Americans

There’s been a mass shooting, now is not the time to talk about gun laws

Australia

There’s been a mass shooting, we need to review our already great gun laws

We can’t let 8 antisocial billionaires dictate the fate of humanity.

I think part of What's Going On with billionaires is that the daily friction of interacting with normal people is part of what anchors people to the real world, and once you have enough money to buy your way out of the friction you can knock down a load-bearing column propping up your sanity.

The U.S. is the only democracy in the world with:

- Lifetime terms for high court judges

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

waymo ceo: we plan for fatal crashes and society will learn to accept them

roblox ceo: kids must be preyed upon and victimized as a necessary consequence of scale

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO HEADS ON PIKES

re: roblox dude's interview crashout. the thing he wants to say but can't is "at scale, kids are gonna get hurt. that is the price for scale." the thing nobody wants to say out loud is "maybe scaling to a level where harm isn't manageable is bad, and scale should be contained"

In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice.

KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond.

His reply was a doozy.

They caved in March so they could get a better deal now. They’re caving now so they can get a better deal in some indeterminate future. The better deal is always just beyond their reach, but continuing to cave will get them there. And if you don’t agree with that, you don’t understand Politics,
