It's fun that no one in the party apparatus can talk about Cuomo absolutely butchering the elderly and the vulnerable during covid, bc they all said he was a hero for doing it, and then said Biden was a hero for doing the same.

Every ICE agent pulses with the dangerous energy of a touchy-feely uncle being told he has to ask the children if they want to be hugged. Just wandering packs of untrained dogs, shitting themselves in public, and hurting people.

Good blog on a hilariously bad and dishonest stat. Nice little grace note of an ICE chud taking issue with being asked about this during National Police Appreciation Week.

One of the weird things about recency bias is how it works for bad stuff - like, the kind of repeated negligence and incompetence that has been showcased by SpaceX has never appeared in either US or Soviet space programs.

My first reaction to hearing about O'Keefe's death was 'oh, cops merc'd him' and my second thought was something like 'did they haze him to death, or did he fuck up?' - I never, for a single moment, thought Read had anything to do with it. Real question: how long til the pigs kill Read, now?

Watching the local baseball media, which is almost entirely owned by Henry, or heavily influenced by Henry via allowing interaction with the team, try to insist that shipping a generational hitter for a 12 pack of Big Y cola out of the trunk of a hot car, is actually good, is nauseating.

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

Genuine Question because I Do not understand… so if these men roll up in plain clothes and masks, grab a human being… even a child, and throw them in an unmarked vehicle I am just supposed to look the other way and say nothing ?? Ask Nothing ?

This, but for legalized gambling. The social damage of chatbots is real - but gambling shatters communities and families, and it is considerably more widespread at this stage, but the revenue on offer is SO INTENSE, there's no media willing to gainsay it.

🚨 There’s a lot of horrific news out of Washington right now—but you might have missed this: Senate Republicans just introduced a plan to sell off 120 million acres of our public lands. Let me break down what’s in the bill and why it’s a full-scale land grab. 🧵

Jokes on us, the correct answer is 'they can kill you if they want, it doesnt matter what you do, or why'

Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

Once upon a time Boston voters elected Rachael Rollins to be our DA. She campaigned on a pledge to NEVER prosecute resisting arrest unless there was another charge. For this she faced political attacks. She was 100 percent correct. Cops shouldn't be able to assault you and then cry victim.

so, this school has failed their brightest student, by demonstrating that everything they told her to believe is a lie! awesome. this will definitely not alienate an entire generation of students from the institutions that claim to stand for them. so cool
