No Kings is great, as a party or a gathering. But it never goes anywhere. It never goes to the police chief's house and demands the cops arrest ICE. It never lasts more than a day. Protests in the streets that end when it gets dark ARE NOT EFFECTIVE EVER. They're just sapping up the anger.

If you’re confused about Taylor Lorenz running to Bari Weiss’ Free Press for a “why I left the left” piece, just remember what she told the New Yorker:

Screenshot from the New Yorker:

“Of course, none of this is relevant if writing per se is only an ancillary goal. Lorenz told me, "I don't want to be a full-time writer. I want to be an Internet personality." In creator-driven journalism, what matters most is hypervisibility through an embrace of every conceivable form of digital distribution at once. Controversy is as good for audience development as scoops, and without a standards board the only arbiter of quality is the creator herself. Now that Lorenz is no”

This is pretty fucking wild. I had assumed in a worst case scenario he would target blue zip codes and toss ballots based on technicalities but this is even worse than I imagined.

Not only is this system astonishingly untested, USPS has simultaneously implemented an
impracticable zero percent failure rate.
13 When ballots are submitted to USPS in large-volume
batches, if any one ballot in the batch cannot be verified against the Portal, all ballots in that
batch will be rejected. For example, if a state election official brings a batch of 10,000 ballots to
USPS and USPS is unable to match just one of those ballots against the Portal – because, for
example, someone has recently changed their name after marriage or they’ve moved – then
USPS would refuse to mail the remaining 9,999 ballots as well. As the whistleblower notes,

I'm not a conspiracy guy. I generally believe things happened just as they looked. But, being ex-military and working with weapons, I've yet to hear an explanation for how Bone Spurs was hit in the ear with a high-velocity rifle round and ended up with nary a scratch or a scar. It doesn't happen.

Wow. Proponents of the ICE taser gloves are openly saying that one reason they love the gloves is that they doesn’t leave any marks or proof that they were used, making it harder for people to sue when they’re shocked excessively.

Mother Jones

"In today's society, you know, everybody's filming everything, everybody has a cell phone," Glueck said. If an officer punches someone on camera, that can go viral in an instant; even a standard taser leaves puncture wounds. But "the glove is low optic, and it looks better on camera, and it looks better to those witnesses. With a glove, there are no burn marks or scars."

But local police across the country are still eagerly buying the gloves—in large part so that they can harm people and avoid being sued for it. It's been successful "from the patrolmen to the jailers," Lumpkin County Sheriff Stacy Jarrard said in a Compliant Technologies promotional video. "It's been a great tool as far as mitigating liability," according to Nelson County Jailer Justin Hall.
Bob Couey of the Floyd County Sheriff's Department sung the GLOVE's praises, too: "I highly recommend these gloves to anybody that's looking for a utility they can use that is conducive to not leading to lawsuits."

Setting aside the scaremongering about ingredients (something starchy, some oil it's cooked in, and some bits of stuff to make it taste better is like 90% of everything humans eat) there just isn't that much stuff in that bag - it's like 8 oz of food, and air. Would fill that glass up about an inch.

The average person doesn’t give a fuck if AI has some niche use where it actually excels if used properly. In fact, that is what a tool is *supposed* to do and none of us will have a problem if it is used like that. What we see is AI fucking up real life in a massive way.
