Why are you whitewashing cherry picked data when the very surveys she quotes show no such decline?

on one hand SOMEONE has to think about these things, like actuarials and ethics professors. But for the leader of an industry that is hastening the destruction of the planet, it's pretty frightening

I said this in a thread last night and in a thousand threads before it, but you really are doing the work of those who would destroy democracy and the rule of law when you are a doomer. You can be aware of — and vigorously oppose — the lawlessness of this administration without insisting on doom.

And any such charge would have been against her father. Also As if oppo research didn't look into this the very first time she ran for office.

"cheerful" I left because under every single post was hundreds of tweets calling people Jew or the N word.

Also tree law imposes huge fines when people cut down trees they are not allowed to. I suppose that means nothing when it comes to Trump

It's like when Daley bulldozed Meigs Field runways overnight because they would not let him legally close the airport. But over and over everywhere in DC. That was a nice path people used esp during the spring with the cherry blossoms.

The suppressors seem like a big change to me. I wonder if we'll see them being used for murders, which led to their banning in the first place

Has NYC banned jump outs? Cause that's what this was. DC did i think

Our own Supreme Court doesn't believe in any checks on Republican Presidents, but they'll sure enforce them with a Democratic President

obviously it's people already on the verge of doing it, not someone who wouldn't otherwise. just look up suicide clusters and you'll see it's been studied and psychologists are trying to figure out why

Chris B @chriswb71.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
And don't worry I'm 55 and have seen a number of suicides including finding my own spouses' body 2 yrs ago. I'm not insulting people who've done it.

Chris B @chriswb71.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
Is not exactly Priming which lasts maybe hours but no one tested to see if it lasts longer. But suicide clusters are a real thing.

Chris B @chriswb71.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
No it's not "why" it's more like "priming" Psychologists have a name "suicide clustering"

This new Sherrod Brown ad debunks a anti trans ad while tying the Republican senate candidate to Jeffrey Epstein. THIS is how you fight back against anti trans ads.

Omg they're already using AI in scheduling in some doctors offices and I've read about it totally screwed up. Idk why we're throwing out functioning software to add barely tested AI. I thought testing on your users was frowned upon

While we've been able to decompile to an extent, this is wild. And only going to get easier and easier. This is similar to thr argument quantum computing someday will obliterate all encryption within our lifetimes.

I bet this is because they know universities rely on that tuition, which is far higher than from in-state or US students. They want to gut their funds to make them more reliant on the federal gov so they can bully them

Black text on white background 
"This day is profoundly painful for so many New Yorkers. It marks three years since the horrific war crimes of October 7. On that day, Hamas killed more than 1,100 Israelis and abducted 251 others. We grieve alongside our many friends and neighbors who still carry that unthinkable loss.
 
The suffering did not begin nor end that day. It instead continued through the Israeli government’s devastating, ongoing genocide in Gaza, in which it has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians—including more than 21,000 children. Even since the so-called ceasefire, more than 1,400 Palestinians have been killed. That suffering has intensified with every Israeli bomb dropped on ambulances waiting outside hospitals, every drone strike targeting a residential building or journalist, and every shipment of food aid turned away at a border crossing. Many New Yorkers are reckoning with this unbearable grief, and we mourn alongside them – all while knowing that our tax dollars fund these war crimes.
 
Three years later, we must refuse to accept a world in which occupation and apartheid continue, where war crimes are met with impunity, and our federal government continues its complicity with every arms shipment.
 
To honor the dead, we must fight for a world in which every person can live with freedom, safety, and dignity."

It is bonkers how this uneducated dilletante has so much influence over tech billionaires and JD Vance and other Republicans. He allows them to give a thin veneer of science to their bigotry

Replace fans with humans. And that means it is the stadium, infrastructure has to work assuming humans will act like humans act. That's why new stadiums all have nets or something to stop this, because people are like this everywhere.
