The problem with chatbot-driven cars is that when they inevitably injure someone (which they have already) no one is responsible for it. The Waymo that drives recklessly and hits my wife can’t be put on trial.
It further reduces harming others into a literal cost of doing business.
Dystopian shit.

Trump has pardoned & released him from prison.

I know it's too easy to grow numb to the constant flood of bigotry that comes out of his mouth but it does seem morally important you don't allow yourself or anyone else to become desensitized to this vile racism as a normal part of our politics

Fentanyl. Drug Overdoses, including Fentanyl, are not even in the top 20 causes of death in the USA. Cancer, Diabetes, Covid, Heart Disease all in the top 10, and all have had their research funding cut. They aren't murdering just Venezuelans. However they are killing us much slower.

He resigned in August.

Ryan Lizza isn’t the most reliable, but he’s not stupid. The Nuzzi/RFK Jr mess shows how access journalism warps politics.
Nuzzi favored Trump because RFK Jr wanted a Cabinet post.
She painted Biden as frail and gushed about Trump.
Nuzzi acted as RFK Jr's supportive spouse.
That's bias.

Nick Fuentes has been working overtime to sanitize his image and present himself as a uniter of the left and right. Very clearly using language often associated with the left.
This is part of a larger effort by the anti-Zionist antisemitic far right to recruit people on the left.

Just imagining how much better it would be if ALL news stories about vaccine-preventable illnesses were illustrated with pictures of people with the disease, not pictures of needle injections. If you must show something that people will find scary & unpleasant, make it the disease, not the cure.
I'm so tired of measles.
I'm also tired of people using needle shots on stories like this.

trump is the president in the sense that he holds the office but he very clearly isn't the president in the sense that he has basically relieved himself of its duties
Trump’s echo chamber:
Very little U.S travel
No rallies or contact with supporters
Right-wing media
Dinners with rich donors and billionaires
Truth Social
Lack of staff to tell him no www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

it simply isn't true that "integrity" requires you to loudly proclaim that the kernel of truth in a bad faith attack has to be given it's due. i feel dirty even conceding it here because it feels necessary to the larger point that you DO NOT need to be That Person.

I have *literally* taught fundamentalists who do better work; this was a bullshit low quality essay that is unacceptable at the college level and there's no credible First Amendment claim here. And as has been made clear, this is Turning Point acting with malice.

What is Jared Kushner's job in the administration?
I’d rather question why is Kushner there and why is he laying out a vision? We did not vote him into any gov position nor the senate we voted for has approved his candidacy.

Next week the House E&C Committee is looking to run something of a shock and awe campaign, debating at least 19 bills that they say are related to "protecting kids online." Most of which are actually about censorship and control. Don't buy the framing. It's always the same damn thing.
