Yesterday we received a "public safety survey" being circulated by the Asheville Chamber of Commerce and it's a doooozy. It's also worth taking a closer look at since it shows how the crime panic propaganda sausage is getting made...

In the legal system and in these mainstream commentary spaces, victims’ post-assault behavior is positioned as evidence of them lying, so that any feminist response to the crisis of sexual assault brought on by these high-profile cases can be deemed hysterical and unnecessary.

Articles like this aren't for people in serious debt (who probably can't afford WaPo, let alone to "free up money"). Articles like this are for people who want to feel better about getting by while others struggle. Reassuring them--the strugglers would be fine if they made smart choices money-wise.

We don't oppose the death penalty b/c of the crime that was committed 1. People have been exonerated after the fact by DNA evidence, and the death penalty can't be reversed 2. Killing people does not send the message that killing is wrong 3. Racially disparate www.foxnews.com/us/texas-tri...

A problem I have about the pervasiveness of GenAI outside of the basic ethical nonstarters is that I… I don’t want to live in a world where I have to doubt, scrutinize or investigate everything I see that isn’t happening right in front of me. I find it horrible, exhausting & time consuming.

When you hear a fantastical story about AI, you should ask yourself, "How does this serve the political project of AI?" Because, as others have pointed out, that's what AI really amounts to: a political project.

Locking people up for using drugs will never make sense to me. The people I've known who've used drugs, in spite of the threat of severe consequences, did so bc they are not/were not okay. Locking people in dungeons traumatizes them further and makes these patterns even harder to break.

i am genuinely bewildered by people who say that the rise of white nationalism in the republican party is a response to the "woke left." like, did the woke left cause pat buchanan's 1992 presidential campaign? is the woke left why steve king had a long career in congress?

learning that the whole “recycling plastic” concept as we understand it was an op funded by oil companies in the 70’s and 80’s as a way to kill any efforts which actually addresses the problem was a very sad day for me.

I am actually grateful for social media today. If you are under 25, you are getting a more honest accounting of the post 9/11 era than I got about the post-Vietnam era than I did as a young person. I attribute this 100% to social media. Traditional media and US politicians cannot be counted on.

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines. When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

Before last year, there were no US measles deaths in a decade, and now we have had 5 deaths in two years. Measles was declared eliminated in the US in 2000, but will lose that status this year. This is an abject failure of public health leadership.
