Every single newspaper that reported that Jane Doe “changed her story” should be rushing to publish retractions right now. This case should be a lesson in taking a DA’s victim-blaming statements at face value. Victims do not report to the police because they thought nothing happened to them.

not that you should expect anything more than rank idiocy from this pair of racists, but the idea that whiteness means a "high trust" society of "social cohesion" is some of the stupidest shit i have ever heard. these people live in a fantasy land that you could dispel by simply opening a book.

No God to save you in capitalism
This will lead to a fundamental change in how we think about work, income, and economic security. How will an economy that's been built around employment operate if fewer people are working, or if many people are working fewer hours?
In a capitalist society, employment is the way most people get the money they need to pay for the basics of life as well as being a key source of dignity and social connection.

1000% this. Since I do not have a goldfish memory, I remember when the ACA was being debated, and how the Dems caved time and again and watered it down to gain GOP bipartisan support, and STILL GOP congressmen didn't vote for it. When Dems have the votes, fuck the GOP.

ALL men benefit from male violence, because it allows you to think you’re a good person because you haven’t assaulted a woman. That does not make you a good person, but you have collectively put that bar in hell.

Not all men. Jesus Christ, don't you think women *know* that? Use your heads instead of getting defensive. Most of you would be terrified of swimming among sharks, even though sharks are stastically far less dangerous to you than men are to women.

The U.S. AI industry is being run by a batshit rationalist sex cult, and no, I am not being hyperbolic - they’re genuinely Like That:
Erin Redwing
@realizingerin
I went to an rationalist/EA Al doomer event last night with the goal of meeting someone who could calmly explain to me the argument for how they get to the conclusion that Al will kill everyone.
Because these are rationalists, I expected to find people who could lay out a serious extinction pathway, walk through the assumptions and intermediate steps, identify choke points where negative pathways could potentially be regulated, and entertain disagreement about where their assumptions might break down.
My experience was the exact opposite.
The people I spoke to seemed psychologically unable to entertain the possibility that their conclusion (that Al literally kills everyone, which was a point that many would not even budge on) might be wrong.
Their most extreme conclusion was treated as an axiom.
I had multiple people walk out of conversations with me when I questioned their inevitable extinction premise.
At one point during a panel, the moderator asked everyone in the audience who was still skeptical of Al doom to raise their hands. About half the room did. He then told all of the skeptics to leave the panel and go with one of the speakers, who would answer their questions separately. They filtered out all the skeptics, and continued the panel only with the subset who accepted their extreme position.
I genuinely felt like a heretic just for questioning whether superintelligent Al inevitably leads to the extinction of humanity, or entertaining the possibility that the future might actually turn out well.
That does not mean Al safety is fake. Obviously there are serious questions about rapidly advancing Al systems and what happens as they become much more capable. Those are exactly the conversations I went there hoping to have.
But what I encountered was an apocalyptic death cult. These people are not rational. They are deeply afraid, they reinforce that fear in one another, and they have become so emotionally committed to apocalypse

There have been so many impeachable offenses, but lying about how you were a hero on a day that 2,753 people died in NYC in the 9/11 disaster—when you were on the other side of town, safely calling local media to brag about how you now had the tallest downtown building—is such a despicable one

"What Would Dolly Do?" doesn't work any other way. Walter Chaw wrote upon her passing that Olivia Newton-John's "brand was kindness," a spot-on assessment of her unique place in the culture. Similarly, Dolly's brand was generosity. She chose to be The Greater Good itself. That's what we've lost.

Mostly, the Dems sat back and watched the GOP drive to power in plain sight. Yes, the GOP is the Bad Guys here, but Biden could have stopped it if he, dare I say, had acted more Presidential. Instead, he feared taking the GOP on head-on, but he should have, because it was his damned job. /4

Elon Musk is unambiguously calling for a violent race war. This is far from unprecedented. The Rwandan Genocide was stoked and enabled by Felicien Kabuga, the wealthy owner of the RTLM radio station that helped coordinate the genocide and used euphemisms like "go to work" to signal attacks.
Two separate screenshots in boxes. 

The first is a screenshot of tweets from Elon Musk reposting "Do not make peace with evil. Destroy it." and "That's what it has come to" while quote-tweeting "Elon Musk was always right: You either fight back or you die."

The second box is a text from an Al Jazeera article. It reads: 
Kabuga, once one of the wealthiest men in Rwanda, was the co-founder and funder of Radio Television Libre des Mille Collines (RTLM), a station established in 1993 that regularly called Tutsis “cockroaches” and encouraged people to “cut down the tall trees”, in reference to Tutsis. Once the genocide started, the station broadcast the names of people to be killed and information about where they could be found.
