can the next big term that gets treated like 'abolish' and 'defund' where it's not the exact right term to use to beg for table scraps, be 'expropriation'

this thread is like going tubing but it's a microblog. gotta love threads that can be called a "meditation"
4011 is the SKU for bananas, and it's written on the soul of anyone who's ever worked at a kroger. if you don't know any other SKU, you know bananas. there are four orange SKUS, seven plum-adjacent ones, and no one buys kiwis. but every cart has bananas, good old 4011.

People are calling this “lazy” which I think is kind of missing what’s going on here. Increasingly convinced that the comparable technology, in how it interacts with the human nervous system, is the slot machine.

the journey from "we polled 1k Americans" to "75% of Americans have regrets" makes perfect sense to me
The extent of the methodology given for the poll is 1000 people in an online survey, which does not give me much faith in the results being accurate.

Police have access to massive surveillance networks that track the public whether they are suspects or not. That means probably for every 1 officer caught using the system to harass or spy on people they have feuds with, ex's, activists, journalists, there are probably 100 more we don't know about.

SCOOP: More than 170 staffers in Mayor Eric Adams’ administration will be notified Wednesday that they will not be working under the administration of incoming Mayor Zohran Mamdani, according to multiple people familiar with the matter.

A @nytimes.com investigation has found that state prison guards have been credibly accused of engaging in such behavior — putting inmates in restraints and then assaulting them — far more often than was previously known.
