That’s a tough question. Resisting masked armed thugs in any circumstance can get you beaten or killed by the armed thugs. If the masked armed thugs are agents of the U.S. government it will also get you prosecuted for “assault on a federal officer” or “resisting arrest.” /1

Please don't use ai ("ai"). It is not benign. It is not a tool. It has the very real potential to destroy the economy, generations who don't learn how to learn, and what is left of our very tenuous motivation.

Ffs, you dildos. An intern is not a full-time position. If they are indeed "stupid," that's b/c you're too stupid to know how to hire. And you're paying them shit b/c you're supposed to be teaching them. So all this means is you're a failure of a manager. Tracks.

Idk what "politically disastrous" means except "no consequences." B/c there are none. Call for action from laymakers at every turn. Otherwise, this rhetoric makes it sound like "hoo buddy you're gonna see what happens next... from someone... someday..." <crickets>

congrats on catching the fuckass assassin However, this does prove that police CAN apprehend a highly dangerous person without filling them full of bullet holes. Curious.

i'm breaking this post out of reply thread hell bc it summarizes my response to a lot of thoughts that people are having. chatGPT, due to design choices made by openAI (NOT things intrinsic to LLMs as a category), is actively uninterested and maybe even hostile to teaching most users how to use it

Hey NYC, mass-defense lawyer here. If you need it, NLG's Jail Support line is 212-679-6018 This is who you call if you get kettled, arrested, etc in NYC. Write the number on your arm or something so you can't lose it if taken in. And don't unlock your phone for cops. Or anyone else.

Wild story: a quality manager who warned about the shoddy construction of Boeing 787 Dreamliner planes was particularly concerned about the ones sent to Air India in 2014. That's when the Air India jet that crashed today was sent. prospect.org/economy/2025...

She will not. They will promote her if they can. As such it is up to Democrats in the House to file articles of impeachment [I KNOW THEY WILL FAIL] - FILE THE ARTICLES and keep bringing them up ALL OF THE TIME. Tell folks that you will impeach her if you have the majority in the future.

Yeah it's really something to see a U.S. senator being hit with the same impossible compliance demands that the cops scream at people before shooting them during a stop

My question for all the Dem's expressing outrage at the treatment of Padilla is, "Yes, and...?" Responding to fascism with the floor speeches and press releases that barely make a dent in a functioning democracy is criminal fecklessness and dereliction of duty.

Here's the thing, there's an entire political class that think the job of protesters is to be chess pawns for Very Smart Political Chess Players. They see them as unpaid staff for their personal political project, and get very annoyed when the staff doesn't obey them.

Every elected Republican should be asked if they think the president has the power to send in military in to “liberate” a state or city from its elected government.
