the last time the u.s. won a war was in 1945 as backup for the u.s.s.r., but sure, they were the losers

they banned frosted s'mores pop tarts buzz balls because of this photo of Aaron Sorkin

Aaron Sorkin literally lookin like a s'more next two actors who are apparently in the social network sequel sorry I don't know their names and cant be bothered to look it up, I think they're the leads, she's wearing a dress that's kind of green yellow like a glow stick and he's basically dressed like if Columbo was really into Troye Sivan

Remarkable that a City bureau can operate as its own political wing without political accountability. Chief Day knew what he's doing by putting out this message on the heels of PPA's calls for resignation.

There’s a lot of blue/underlined text in this piece if you have the time to read a book. This one is interesting: www.documentcloud.org/documents/28...

From a portland police training presentation.

“And The Lord sald...
Woe be unto you, dirty hippy:
For thou stinketh of patchouli and BO:
For thou talk of Marx, yet know him not;
For thou hast bills, yet have not paid;
For thou hast dreadlocks and white skin.
And so I shall send among you, My humble servants with hat, and with bat;
That they may christen your heads with hickory.
And anoint your faces with pepper spray.
And once thou hast been cuffed and stuffed:
Once thou has been stitched and bandaged:
Perhaps thou shall learn.
I'm tired of your shit.
Amen”

Well, there is real evidence that weakening public services fuels far-right populism. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Electoral support for far-right parties is often linked to geographies of discontent. We argue that public service deprivation, defined as reduced access to public services, plays an important role in explaining these patterns. By exploiting an Italian reform that reduced access to public services in municipalities with fewer than 5,000 residents, we show that far-right support in national elections increased in municipalities affected by the reform compared to unaffected ones. We use geo-coded individual-level survey data and party rhetoric data to explore the mechanisms underlying this result. Our findings suggest that concerns about immigration are exacerbated by the reform, and that far-right parties increasingly linked public services to immigration in their rhetoric after the reform. These demand and supply dynamics help us understand how public service deprivation shapes geographic patterns in far-right support.

Fun fact — and reminder: For all their focus on “officer safety” and arguments about aggressive tactics being necessary, no ICE officer has ever been killed in the line of duty. It is more deadly in the US to be an elementary school student than an ICE officer.

This is excellent, particularly the contribution by @sivav.bsky.social dang. so well said

You clicked, and you left Google’s house to visit someone else’s. That mere act of departure, unglamorous as it sounds, was the thread connecting search to the older ideal of the public sphere. It was the residue of an Enlightenment premise: that citizens benefit from encountering a plurality of sources, weighing them, and forming judgments amid the friction of disagreement. Or, at least, Google wanted us to believe that. Many of us did.

Google has now severed that thread. Type a query into Google today and more often than not you are met with a pile of slop: a synthesized paragraph, stitched together by an LLM, that purports to answer your question so directly and bluntly that you have little reason to go anywhere else. Google calls these paragraphs “AI Overviews.” A more expansive version, “AI Mode,” dispenses with the pretense of links altogether and simply converses with you. By 2025, AI Mode had reportedly surpassed a billion monthly users, with Google boasting that query volume was doubling every few months. The infrastructural imperialism I described in 2011—the steady, unaccountable extension of one company’s dominion over the mechanisms by which we find things out—has entered its final and most totalizing phase. Having organized the web, Google now proposes to replace it.
