The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed... "How will you pay for it?" The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts... "How much do you need?" It doesn't have to be this way.

We also need to talk about why Biden and Garland were mum on the info in the files. It's not just these guys. If the info in there is so damning, why would they keep it so closely guarded and under wraps? Epstein was dead. There was no privacy expectation.

A text message forwarded by an executive producer is the reason Maria Bartiromo no longer has a show on Fox Business. Not a ratings slide. Not a contract dispute. A screenshot, sent to a Trump associate, that told the White House something Fox News Media had gone to some lengths

Considering the state of Americans' physical health, it's simple economics. While I've never done the math, I'd venture that Europeans, on average, pay less for health care than Americans.

I'm no expert, but I know enough to realize that a program can not escape a sandbox system without specific programming instructing it to do so and installing a door so it can "escape." It's not sentient. It's merely following human instructions.

Watch out LA, this is an ICE vehicle spotted in Echo Park. IceWatch confirmed. Details in the alt text

This car is confirmed ICE and was seen in Echo Park- folks asked for support alerting businesses in area
Forwarding messages below:

This extremely tinted dodge chrysler is idling at 826 Waterloo st and marathon in echo park. The driver would not roll down the window when patroller approached and revved engine to try and scare me off. Rear dealer plate. 7:05 am. At 7:15 it drove off and I could make out driver taking pictures of patroller

Confirmed ICE , that’s the same one from imperial and central. A blacked out no plate charger may be nearby.

Full warning- the red Durango + its driver at least in my experience, has always been very confrontational and will escalate if you’re in your car however, if you are on foot on the ground, they barely even opened the window and just talk shit. So patrollers if you spot this just be careful because they do like to talk a lot of non sense.

Yeah, because the Oslo Accords worked out so well. Let’s not forget that Netanyahu and Sharon’s relentless campaign against the Accords helped create the climate that led to Rabin’s assassination. Their indirect alignment with Hamas to undermine Oslo worked brilliantly.

Pretty good way to pay and incentivize foot soldiers to do your bidding, even if it crosses lines. This is basically how warlords control territory in the absence of a functioning law and order state.

What's notable to me about the Alito-Jackson spat on Monday is how little Alito's opinion bothers with anything resembling legal analysis. He doesn't respond to Jackson, in any meaningful sense. It's just an angry blog post about how she really ought to be more respectful to him.

Yes, Swiss scientist Fritz Zwicky coined the term “dark matter” which is impressive, but he also coined the term “spherical bastard” to describe people who are bastards no matter which way you look at them, and I think that should be celebrated more.

NASA posted side-by-side photos of earth taken by the Apollo 17 mission in 1972 and Artemis II. I think we can all agree that we are polluting our planet, although we may differ in our opinion on how it's affecting our climate. But the difference in the brilliance of the planet is shocking.
