it's not weird at all that the guy who shot those National Guardsmen was an Afghani trained by the CIA
And the CIA training ppl in Afghanistan has never resulted in terrorists attacks on America before either...

Cars generally are horrible at scale. There’s a density at which in order to be usable, they completely shut down everything else. And even the cars themselves are not very good
A city with a few hundred robotaxis is cool and futuristic, but with 100,000+ it'll be gridlocked and dangerous.
All the more reason for local leaders to adopt congestion pricing and automatic traffic enforcement ASAP.

We are taught that the Constitution cannot be amended without supermajorities in the House, Senate and states. But in Heller, a 5-4 SCOTUS struck the first 13 words of 2A. Much like in Anderson when they effectively struck section 3 of 14A. Nothing good comes from politics masquerading as justice

At this point, I wonder if he isn't lying when he says he has "my highest Poll Numbers, ever" since it's entirely possible that's what his aides are telling him. It's quite likely that there's an entire Potemkin village built around Trump right now.

much of the work on AI-generated misinformation focuses on regular users/communities, while ignoring how political and economic elites can seal themselves into a hermetic slop box -- a repeat of the same mistake we made with radicalization and conspiracism in the previous decade

Ellis repeatedly accuses multiple CBP and ICE officials of lying (under oath) and says their "widespread misrepresentations call into question everything" they "say they are doing in their characterization of what is happening." She broadly discredits their testimony as objectively false.
U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis just handed down the written opinion version of her preliminary injunction order, regarding use of force by federal agents in Chicago.
It's the one already put on hold by the 7th Circuit.
It's 233 pages.

As I've been arguing, Trump signed the bill for release of the Epstein files not because he cares about looking transparent, but rather because it's lethal for him to be perceived as losing control of the GOP
