Just a reminder that expanding public benefits is good for public safety. Expanding Medicaid ➡️ fewer arrests
Chart of arrows showing that at the county level, after Medicaid expansion, arrest rates decreased by 20% for all offenses, decreased by 19% for violent offenses, decreased by 24% for low-level offenses, and decreased by 25% for drug offenses.

1. Cognitive decline is real. 2. Model collapse is not only real, but inevitable as point 1 gets worse. 3. Model manipulation is very real. They can, and do, manipulate the responses AI can give. We are hurtling headlong towards Idiocracy mixed with 1984. A stupid population, that knows nothing.

there are moral arguments against the death penalty in its ideal form but in real life you never need to get there. the prior question is "can the state be trusted to end the life only of the rightly convicted without torture?" and the answer is no

Every college in this country decided that expelling and/or sending the police to beat the shit out of their own students for the crime of being opposed to genocide was their top priority. That and giving Trump complete control of what they teach. Contrast that with how they treat rapists.

If the LAPD is allowed to defy court orders, they are above the law. If you or I defied a court order, we'd be in deep shit, because we are subject to the law. I do not understand why people constantly say "In America, no one is above the law." Bullshit. Lot's of people are above the law.

SILVERTONE 1457 - 2pu redburst double-cutaway electric guitar Danelectro Neptune NJ February 1964. For sale. For the Deadheads-a classic Danelectro amp-in-case for the Golden Road to Unlimited Devotion! www.vintagesilvertones.com/product/silv... #VintageGuitar #Guitar #Silvertone #Danelectro
This is a double-cutaway Silvertone made by Danelectro of Neptune, NJ made in February of 1964. The guitar features two single coil lipstick tube pickups with stacked tone and volume controls for each along with a toggle to switch between neck, bridge or both pickups. It has a solid-center Masonite over pine body with white tolex binding, a white Masonite pickguard on which the controls are mounted and a four-way adjustable chromed brass bridge with a rosewood saddle. There's two aluminum strap pins and a redburst finish with sparkling silver colored accents. This guitar is 100% original and in good condition. With its fantastic fast action and terrific tone, this guitar plays like a dream. Although this instrument already looks lovely, a previous owner, perhaps a resident of the Haight, chose to further decorate it with Grateful Dead stickers. We chose to leave this personal touch intact as it represents part of its long history. This is the higher-end, two pickup, model of the amp-in-case line but this guitar does not include the amp-in-case. Get this great guitar while you can.Description from VintageSilvertones.com

DANELECTRO DC59 Limited Edition ("3021") - 2pu black solidbody reissue China 2010. For Sale. Back to 2010 w/Danelectro reissuing the 3021 in a simplified version w/1-tone & 1-vol knob. This NOS axe will Take You There! www.vintagesilvertones.com/product/dane... #VintageGuitar #Guitar #Danelectro
This is a DC59 Limited Edition/3021 reissue, six string electric guitar made by Danelectro in China 2010 in a black finish. The “seal” pickguard is white and has an aged finish. It is a double-cutaway, masonite top and bottom with a plywood frame. This DC59 Limited Edition/3021 reissue is basically new-old-stock (NOS). You even get to remove the plastic on the cavity cover! The matt black finish is a sharp looking with white tolex binding. Overall, Danelectro issued this model with an aged finish that’s apparent in the body color, pickguard, pickups and tuners. The pickups and electronics are simplified to one tone and one volume control with a three-way toggle switch to choose between neck, bridge or both pickups. This model was a limited run and has unique pickups and tone. They’re strong and bright single coils with a matt finish. And, these single-coils are considerably more clean sounding than most. The modern bridge is fully adjustable for height and intonation similar to some later models. It comes with a good quality gig bag.Description from VintageSilvertones.com

DANELECTRO 3011 - 1pu black electric guitar gig-bag Neptune New Jersey 1960. For sale. A history unknown aside from the road scars. A well maintained survivor from the 60s capable of some serious single-coil grit! www.vintagesilvertones.com/product/dane... #VintageGuitar #Guitar #Danelectro
This guitar is a 1960 Danelectro 3011 “Standard”, double-cutaway, in a black finish with one pickup and a white “seal” pickguard. The finish shows its 60+ years of use with nicks, scratches, scrapes, and lots of genuine playing wear. The tone pot barely works. It’s very subtle, at best. The Short Horn Series was offered between 1958 and 1966. The guitar is 100% original and has all of the classic features: black finish with a white seal shaped pickguard on which the controls and input are mounted. It's a double cutaway semi-hollow body with a “Solid Center” construction consisting of a masonite top and back on a pine frame. There's one single coil lipstick tube pickup, a Coke-bottle headstock, and a two-way adjustable chrome plated brass bridge with a Brazilian rosewood saddle. The body has white tolex binding with two metal strap pins. This model is similar to and often confused with the two pickup 3021 model made famous by Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin. The guitar plays and sounds great. You can feel and hear the sweetness that ripened within it over the years. It comes with a gig bag. Grab this classic while you can. They’re become harder and harder to find.Description from VintageSilvertones.com
