they were *lying* when they were "worried" about Asian-American college applicants, and they are *lying* now when they're "worried" about "strivers." They do not want non-white people being in any way superior (or evident) to white people. that's it. that's the whole thing.

Whether Trump reimburses taxpayers for the money he stole in producing these illegal ads doesn't change the fact that he stole $20m from all of us to illegally run ads to fluff up his bleak electoral prospects. Jawdropping abuse of power by the worst American leader in our history.

Hello, and welcome to another exciting episode of Donny Says Stupid Shit, the show where our Very Special President gets away with blurting out the kind of crazypants dumbfuckery that would immediately end the political career of any mere mortal who said the same thing.

The combination of higher marginal rates for very high-income taxpayers (under the new NDP proposal to include those with over $1 million in ANNUAL INCOME, not WEALTH) with lower rates for everyone else, shows that the system is more progressive, not that it collects more tax.

If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money. They must hammer economic populism — and have a laser focus on the cost of living crisis in America. There’s no way the party can speak for or represent the working class in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.

I think part of the problem is that, in seeking to firewall against Nazism since WWII, we created a vacuum in knowledge about Hitler that leaves space for this sort of idiocy. The best antidote to these people would be greater popular familiarity with what a freak and loser Hitler really was.

If we had a federal government that wasn't firmly up the ass of Big AI, they'd make it a crime for an AI to put people in mortal danger by sending them into wilderness areas with fictional instructions. If a human kept doing this, they'd probably go to jail, even under existing laws.

Bust up big corporations and tackle Wall Street’s greed. Get big money out of politics. Strengthen unions and boost wages. Pass Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare, and so much more... This is the agenda Democrats need to fight for. It's not enough to simply be anti-Trump.

The fact that the president of the United States and his party are engaged in a full-on assault on the constitutional order, that they will obviously continue to search for ways to subvert the election, is a reminder of how far away from a stable democracy America currently is.

How is it not news when the president nods off in public meetings and press conferences dozens of times? If you follow independent media, you see it and know about it. But why hasn’t CBS, NBC or ABC showed a montage of it on their evening news? They simply refuse to ever show it.

the crazy part is that if you build strong safety cultures rooted in anticipating and avoiding real-time, real-world harms, you don't often find yourself blindsided by unanticipated X risks... this isn't a zero sum choice, and safety culture hasn't emerged randomly or by accident

this isn't some abstract argument either: all of our decades of experience with large, complex safety-critical systems shows that building a safety culture is the only way to manage and mitigate risk responsibly... and that's impossible to reconcile with a longtermist utilitarian perspective

developing a safe and reliable driving automation system is such a vast and complex task, which can be undercut by even a little sloppiness, that it's impossible to develop them in a rigorously safe way if you also buy into a utilitarian permission structure that justifies cutting corners short term
