The Venezuela boat murders are meant to be a gateway drug to domestic murders. The “you can’t let this MAGA regime out of power now because you military are going to jail if we leave” is a powerful cooption technique but not atypical for authoritarian regimes

One theory I have is that competence, self-control, responsibility, and expertise have all been feminized, leaving “masculinity” with the realm of impulsivity and petulance. So the divide is not really between “femininity” and “masculinity” so much as between adulthood and childishness.
Everything else aside, the idea that this is a model for many men of *masculinity* is so wild. This? This is "manly"? This is how people think it's cool to act?

LA quietly stopped repaving all streets last July to avoid fulfilling its ADA obligations. The federal govt says when you repave a street, you have to update all the curb ramps. LA has tons of out of date curb ramps, so the rule makes repaving much more expensive. The city's solution: stop repaving!
LA has stopped repaving our streets

so, in the version of these facts that is *most* friendly to CPD, they’re contracting with a rogue private surveillance company and they have no idea what that company is doing?
WAIT WHAT?
Camb. Police Commissioner Elow just said that after the cameras were allegedly off, Flock came back and put up two more cameras because they had a "work order" in the system and didn't see functional cameras, so put up more.
"Which we just found out about today."
Wow.
