Breaking: Charles Manson has personally instructed his followers to 'totally destroy' the Tate family and 'make it as gruesome as you can'.
The move underscores his determination to challenge social conventions - that people should not be murdered.
His critics say that's bad.

Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.
RFK Jr. Says He Instructed CDC to Change Vaccines and Autism Language on Website
In an interview, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cited gaps in vaccine safety research. His critics say he is ignoring a larger point: Vaccines save lives.

kids, you've got to remember that we decided to close our eyes and plug our ears and 'keep taxes low', no matter what.
yes, i know taking on more debt meant our taxes inevitably went up to service the debt without adding any real value.
but we *said* we wanted to keep them /low/. that's what counts.

Anne Hidalgo is one of the most courageous mayors in history. They sued her. Said she was attacking Parisian heritage. Said she would make traffic worse.
And yet she persisted. She seized an opportunity and delivered.

Ridership on Paris region transit systems is now generally at or higher than pre-pandemic levels. Bike use is much higher than pre-pandemic.
At the same time, car traffic in Paris and on its ring highway is substantially lower than it was pre-pandemic. www.institutparisregion.fr/mobilite-et-...

What’s interesting is that human brains are hard wired for empathy—it serves a very important social and biological purpose as connection is vital for our survival—to lose empathy for most people, it must be trained out of you, systematically and consistently

In Chicago, a woman was driving to get coffee when a DHS vehicle fleeing an angry crowd crashed into her car. Armed agents jumped out of the vehicle, yanked her door open, pulled her by the legs out of her car at gunpoint, held her incommunicado for hours, then released her with no charges.
