On the *same day* the Cornell Seven drugged and raped Jane Doe, Cornell banned four students (including the President of Cornell JVP) from campus for three years for nonviolent, pro-Palestine protests. The same Cornell officials let the rapists off with apology essays.

But at its core, Village Homes is just a suburban subdivision with a green veneer. It's a great way to cosplay as a Hobbit, but it's actively worse for the planet than living in a steel tower on top of a subway station.

In fact if there's one political message that should reach everyone on Bluesky, the website for Democratic politics obsessives afraid to leave their own house, it's that you should vote in person this year.

his best asset is that he is a striver who rose high on his own talent. here, you see how you can use that against him: he is a little snot-nosed know-it-all who flaunts his intelligence and worse, thinks he knows best for YOU and can barely be bothered to hide it.

I think there are reasonable concerns about level of surveillance here. I do want the camera to take a picture of every speeding car. I do not want the cameras recording everywhere I am observed. No, I don't have an expectation of privacy, but I also don't want to be followed around (digitally)

If the point is that government shouldn't do anything that might infringe on rights, that's libertarianism. I think speeding is bad and dangerous. I think speed cameras are an effective way to enforce speed limits. I think we should demand limited use devices for that task.

I think if you're arguing that speed cameras are as bad or susceptible to abuse as an ALPR dragnet, you should provide some evidence. They are very common all over the world, so it should be easy. I didn't find any, but maybe you will.

One thing you should get real comfortable with as a white person is that some bad people are probably going to be nice to you. They think you're human, which is fine. They also think some other people aren't human, which is bad. You should treat them like they are also cruel to you.
