A Friend’s Death to Mourn, and to Serve Time for An Alabama teen was shot alongside his friend, then prosecuted for his killing. His case highlights a particularly harsh doctrine in American criminal punishment: felony murder.

"Felony murder is a particularly American form of punishment."

"The idea [..] that if you commit a felony, and someone dies in the process of that crime, you can be charged with murder."

The victim-blaming logic for ChatGPT and related β€œAI” tools has already been established. When the technology puts people in danger, even deadly danger, folks will say it’s the user’s fault for trusting the technologyβ€”even as the media, the industry, workplaces and even schools encourage that trust

Buttigieg throwing trans people under the bus doesn't surprise me since he was willing to do it to Black people for personal political gain as soon as he took the national stage

thats the exact problem with today's democrat party:

theyve walked so far to the right, trying to meet the far-right in an ever shifting "middle" that they now have more in common with 1980s republicans than 1970s democrats when modern liberalism was ideologically cemented.

I just spent four weeks in Poland and Austria and I used cash TWICE!

Also, the only time I showed anyone my passport the whole trip was when buying sweets for the kids at the duty free store before boarding the flight home.

So Europe is post-passports too, I guess.

Helloβ€”in finally being able to meet my start-of-month bills, one fell by the wayside, and by next paycheck it may be too late. I need to pay two months’ storage rent today (Monday), and I don’t have all of it. If you can help at all, I’d be grateful.

Yes, I'm posting about this again. It's sad, funny, ironic that these women would condemn me as a feminist Jezebel & God might have a bone to pick with me when I die, but I've only ever been w/ one man, & he makes me feel loved and cared about, and you can't accuse me of getting fingered at TPUSA! 😭

Everyone deserves respect. Respect is a fundamental human right, but too often it is overlooked or misunderstood. The idea that all individuals deserve to be treated with dignity, fairness, and consideration is at the core of building healthy relationships, communities, and societies.

If anyone is curious about the current list of search terms being used by right wing activist organizations to harass university professors, here's a public records request I received today from Mike Howell of the Heritage Foundation. Not intimidating or meant to curtail by my speech at all, right?

Hello, Allβ€”I’m still in need of $100 for this back rent. I’m afraid if I wait till I’m actually paid next week, I’ll lose this locker with stuff from about 18 years of my life including research projects. It’s only an emergency to me, but if someone could help me soon, I’d be beyond grateful.
