As the government is putting up photos and rewards for protesters that they want to go after, remember that the person who called in the tip about Luigi never got paid.

Do folks remember that essay from 10 years ago by a man whose father died from a tree falling on him at an Airbnb property? It really shaped how I feel about Airbnb and other apps that just don’t take quality standards seriously.

I enjoy how Americans will post an image of a man bravely standing in front of a tank at Tiananmen every year to commemorate the wickedness of violence against protestors and then see a protester get trampled by a cop on horseback on CNN in LA and say “well what did he do wrong to deserve that?”

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

RESULT: Democrats defend a legislative seat in Oklahoma (HD71) by a massive margin, 85% to 15%. This was a district that voted for Harris by 19% in November, so this is a huge shift toward Dems of 51 percentage points.

A data broker owned by the major airlines, including Delta, American, and United, collected travelers’ flight records, sold access to them to Customs and Border Protection, and in the contract told CBP not to reveal where the data came from. From @wired.com: www.wired.com/story/airlin...

It’s that fucking airplane meme and I’m sorry but it’s a massive blind spot among a certain kind of person on the left. You only remember the protests that “won”. It’s common for protestors to eat shit and lose both short and long term.

Pro tip, folks: if you make a figure for a publication, don’t just hand the copyright over to the publisher. Post it on OSF first and then give yourself permission to use it in the first publication and then all future publications. That way, no permissions issues.

One thing that has become super apparent for me is that we need Congress to pass a law creating a default enforcement mechanism that would apply to any statute or regulation that mandates or prohibits specific conduct but doesn’t have an explicit enforcement mechanism

What really pisses me off is the issue of govt ID -- whose whole purpose is to make you MORE not less identifiable -- because sex wasn't even listed on passports until 1977 and on state drivers' licenses until the 1950-60s, and somehow the world didn't end without it.

I would love to see orders of magnitude more discussion about what "swing voters" should figure out, deal with, suck up, get a clue about, etc and orders of magnitude less discussion about how protestors should coddle random third party's hallucinations about this section of the electorate

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

Serious question: Does it jive with CNN policy to have one of their on-air correspondents share a post against free speech and free assembly? It seems relevant since ABC just rebuked/suspended Terry Moran. And, many legacy news outfits have become stricter about political expression by staff.

1) You can’t make a bigot money and still call yourself and ally. 2) The fact that WB is cranking out these “this actor is cool! Separate the art from the artist” weekly PR pieces means that Rowling funding the assault on trans rights is hurting their bottom line.

The correct way to connect the authoritarian presence in LA and the Big Beautiful Bill is that the bill gives the government the resources to do this in dozens of cities at once. So if you don't like what's happening in LA, it's coming to your town if the bill passes.

beyond the thin veneer of concern behind all of these opeds is the much simpler truth that their authors desperately want to describe something that is very obviously their problem (fewer people want to post in the venues they like more) as though it were our problem
