It was time to accept this in 2000 when they overthrew the election THAT time.

"News" organizations are supposed to give timely, insightful takes and also pertinent topical stories

Almost every mainstream org does neither

Historian here it’s not just the Supreme Court, it’s time for a Third Reconstruction of American democracy now that we have seen how easy it is for bad actors to play the system for nefarious goals.
Yes. Yes. Yes.
It’s time to accept that the US supreme court is illegitimate and must be replaced

I think it's important who the "we" is in this post

If it's communities, I have great faith and am in
If it's Democrats, I have no faith and will probably sit it out - we don't need more "corporate" solutions to our problems, corporations are a large source of our problems

Republicans are evil
I'm not in charge of anything but I really hope we start to think about how we rebuild in a more distributed way.

The impulse is going to be to rebuild federally, but I doubt the federal government is going to be a useful or reliable vehicle for the next two decades at least.

Early civilizations attributed winds to the moods of gods, seeing them as signs of punishment or favour.

"Virtually no secular civilization in ancient times ever conceived of a rational explanation until Aristotle, who wrote extensively about why the wind blows", author Simon Winchester explains.
Lessons on Climate Futures from Wind’s Tempestuous Past: An Interview with Author Simon Winchester
A newly published history of the wind turns to sea gods and early wind turbines to show how today’s challenges to renewable energy repeat a centuries-old pattern.

Is there not some sort of legal "punch card" where if an organizations has lied in more than ten cases in a row then... something - they can't serve anymore cases for 24 months, everyone in the org spends two nights in jail, they have to wear a big yellow "L" on their uniforms
You know, something!
“The FBI alleges that the HSI agents walked up, showed their badges, and said they wanted to talk with Bamigboye. One agent got into the front seat of the Jeep and tried to stop Frazier from driving off. But she put the SUV in gear and headed for the New Hope Police station.”
Judge frees couple charged with 'kidnapping' immigration agent as defense challenges government's account
Attorneys for a couple charged with driving to a police station with an HSI agent in their car dispute the government’s account of the incident. A judge released both from jail pending trial.

Looks wildly over-generous now: the press are only clueless and uninterested rather than actively pushing malice; the politicians and tech geniuses are mostly just dumb and grasping rather than malignant fascists, and the space drones do at least make it to the asteroid rather than going nowhere.
I failed to see how "Don't Look Up" was a satire.

that WSJ article about wheelchairs at the airport obviously sucks shit but it points to another issue which is Americans are so thoroughly worked over by constant and omnipresent scams that they now see anything which benefits another person as merely a scam that they are not in on

This, this right here, should be the headline of every paper :
"DOJ breaking the law again"
"Lawless Fascism"
"Republicans trample rule of law"

But instead it's "Hmm, we kind knew this would happen, didn't we? Now here's a good Christmas plum cake recipe..."
surprise, surprise. DOJ will release docs over a rolling production over a few weeks -- violation of terms of Epstein law but who's to stop them. Big point is timing -- remember first spin of Mueller Report by Bill Barr? What comes out first will be big influence on public perception.

Honestly, AI is as good as a beginner coder, and probably as good at writing as a newbie research assistant or just out of school journalist.
Big questions about whether AI will ever get to the next level - but meanwhile, how do the college grads get to the next level?
Stanford computer science graduates are discovering their degrees no longer guarantee jobs as AI coding tools now outpace entry-level programmers
They graduated from Stanford. Due to AI, they can't find a job
A Stanford software engineering degree used to be a golden ticket.

As a white guy who worked in the trades many years ago this was a prevalent myth
I used to live out in the woods of Arizona and I went to a neighbor's house - they showed me their "hobby room", the entire upstairs dedicated to guns and ammo reloading.
many years ago, someone I dated told me to my face that no one would hire them because they were "an old white guy". it took everything in me not to yell at them about the data I studied, moments I had experienced explicit hiring discrimination or the hiring + pay equity reports I had covered at CJR

I feel this wasn't explicitly meant for me, but it should have been!

Thank you.

Ugh, I keep finding things to say about this: if you're not up on your religious sociology, it's not that Dems have become less religious. It's that *America* has become less religious, and the party reflects that, while remaining white Christians have clustered in the GOP.

Just reacting to the quote, tldr article, but this idea that we're going for the "win" is what gives us Manchin, Sinema, Fetterman, Leberman - and then that leads to horrible "Democratic" results which damages the brand
We should be looking for someone with good principles - then deliver when we win
"I think that we should be looking at who it is that can expand the electorate so we can win. We have spent a lot of time doing the philosophy lessons of who it is that we believe can win—and we keep losing, versus being willing to do something different." www.texasobserver.org/jasmine-croc...
