I don't know if the shooting was politically motivated or just another random act of violence in society awash in loose guns, but if they hadn't been there, they wouldn't have been shot.

And it's for the milk run stuff you can't really use a USVs for (which are the real OHP replacements) but imo really need USVs to be optionally manned to actually get early command back because we still won't have enough Connies to open that back up

And it most be noted that ban on people moving is immoral. Just totally evil. It is natvitism in miniature and ought, OUGHT, to be rejected.
I genuinely don't get the NIMBY theory of make rent go down. To the extent they have one, it's fantasy: a ban on people moving into the city. The municipal government making rents lower by fiat. It'd be more productive to leave housing policy and become a full-time Wookiepedia editor.
the left nimby crashout bc Zohran actually wants to build more housing is genuinely so funny

One thing that's a very clear trend in my suburban DC town with a strong sense of community is that the highly ideological right-wingers, of which there's been a decent sized influx in the last few years, basically do not (and their kids do not) participate in any established community organizations
I'm not sure how this ends, because the Boy Scouts is very apolitically small-c-conservative and patriotic but it's also mostly run by suburban moms.

good work guys you picked a fight in which Dems can stand up out of their permanent defensive crouch and go “our guy is a fucking astronaut and you’re an alcoholic tv host”
Gallego to Hegseth: "You will never ever be half the man that Sen. Kelly is. You, sir, are a coward. And the fact that you are following this order from the president shows how big of a coward you are. I can't wait until you are no longer the secretary of defense."

To my mind, I think the core of the problem is that greater - if still imperfect - gender equality allowed women access to more 'life scripts' as it were, but society mostly still presents men with just one script and that script poorly and incompletely.
So some men are fine and many are adrift.

"AI"
y'know, if tech companies weren't so fired up to call every single thing "AI" it would be a lot easier to distinguish "ML spam filter that is well-sandboxed and tuned on your emails" from "giant context and IP-eroding foundation model that makes people paranoid and unhappy"
since the "google is now training gemini on your email contents" thing keeps bumping around here: it's _not happening_. I say this not to defend google but because I know a lot of people that have broken their filtering and made their lives much more annoying from sheer misinformation.
