And this is why white folks are not the most trustworthy. This. You’d rather speak and be whatever version of right you proclaim than listen to actual data. You’re asking a person of color if they tried….are you ok???
Come on. There were -what-some 75 million or so voting for Kamala. Many of us in deep red, gerrymandered states. Were trying. How about you? We also can’t do it without you!

Unbelievable. They made Starmie a Tory. There's no coming back from this.

OPINION: "[C]ops can’t really prevent violence; they are there to investigate. We expect too much of them. And that reduces resources for actual crime prevention," Donna Ladd writes.

Investigating LAPD-press incidents in Los Angeles on Saturday. No doubt LAPD violated court injunction. Just a question of how bad.

So far I think only minor injuries to press. Still confirming. Not a passing grade regardless.

Preliminary leads in blue at top. Please share evidence if you have!

In the prisoners’s dilemma, which is of course, a simple game, if one side is a serial cooperator, and the other side is serial defector, the defector will always win now and forever. The only way to change the dynamic is for the cooperator to defect a few times and see what happens.

The photos in the New York Times also don’t give any sense of the scale.

Would you know that millions of people showed up across the country?

Yesterday's No Kings protests were apparently the largest since the first Earth Day in 1970

The NYT covered that story with a six column headline across the top of the paper and two full pages inside

Today, two small pics below the fold and a story on page A23

They constantly let America down

I keep thinking about how so-called AI is literally just time-displaced human intelligence. Bottled human decision-making, by converting human acts of perception and description into data via effective slave labor, that can be replayed for first-world elites who have given up on thinking themselves.

I realize that all the "we are going to win" inspiration posting codes as aesthetically liberal (being left is being unimpressed) and invites the responses you'd guess from a certain genre of more radical than thou poster but still surprised at the particular condescension strategies people go for

I can compromise with you on politics. I can’t compromise with you on morality. The inability of liberal institutions to discern one from the other is depressing.

Yeah, I think that's lost on a LOT of people under the age of, like, 30-ish. Doc Brown's time machine was a DeLorean because DeLoreans were stupid garbage. It was a lemon he probably got for $500. Using it was just another thing made him look insane. 80s audiences would have understood that.
satire that people misunderstood: they picked the delorean for back to the future as a joke because it was a failed vision of the future
