That's where I've been for a while. We can't even reach questions about the death penalty itself because we fail essential predicates such as "fair and consistent criminal justice system" and "reliable death penalty verdicts that leave no reasonable doubt" and, as shown tonight, "humane execution."

i don't think the state has any business torturing anyone to death

I'm appalled by the death penalty in general but lethal injection esp. makes me see red in how it's presented as a "humane" option that actually just quietly tortures people to death without making a mess. it's entirely about helping those complicit feel less guilty. and then shit like this happens.

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

The Pentagon is notifying millions of current and former U.S. military servicemembers and staff that hackers stole their *unencrypted* personal information during a months-long data breach. The agency that had the breach also handles ID and login/credential access to U.S. military systems and bases.

Every time a discourse kicks off over whether AI music, literature or art will be "as good as" the real thing, I'm always amazed more people don't cite that **there already are** creative pursuits where human-free spectacles have been available for decades, and nobody has ever wanted to watch them.

The GFC, much like the AI bubble, was nothing to do with reality, but ever-twisting levels of speculation. Too much of our financial system is powered by number games dressed up as investment.

I’m increasingly of the belief that we’ve never truly left the Great Financial Crisis. Everything we’re dealing with today started there, and every excess and problem stems from the US government’s failure to contain or eradicate its causes.

Avarice, vengeance and racism are genuinely the only motivations we have ever seen for anything this stupid asshole has done in his life and it is pointless to even theorize about others. Will it benefit him? Will it hurt someone he wants to hurt? That's all it is with him, that's all it's ever been

It's funny because the best thing he could do to help Republicans lose less horribly in the midterms (they would still lose) would be to shut the fuck up, a thing he is congenitally unable to do

we tracked months of rent payments to an estimated 13,000 families. the expected cost of rehousing those families, had they entered eviction, would be north of $218 million dollars. keeping them housed cost around $38-40 million

i am incredibly excited to share our research about how paying people’s rent through mutual aid made an impact on minnesota this year we accidentally collected more data than anyone ever has for an effort like this, and can very seriously say we prevented an eviction bubble that everyone expected

a take I saw that rang true for me today is that the GOP, which spends the other 364 days of the year talking shit about NY (and they did this back then, too, lest they peddle some "we loved it then" story), wants, once a year, to front like they love New York. Nah man. Everybody already heard you
