I hate that I have to re-up this today. as I detail in this piece, abandoning trans rights is not only immoral, but it's also BAD POLITICS for Dems, as it will turn away their own pro-LGBTQ base without winning over a single new voter: www.bostonreview.net/forum/how-no...

Trans rights aren’t tanking the Democrats.

how computers work
A guy who has never had a friend will yell at you for saying something that's not wrong, and not said in the wrong way, but in a way that the guy thinks is wrong.
Wow! And

Feels like big tech companies could just offer to subsidize solar panels for people where they want to build data centers, nothing more convincing than getting a bill like this

What we are seeing now is the "bad apple" process. Individual cops, then units, and then whole departments are portrayed as outliers to prevent public outrage from forcing scrutiny of the primary functions of "security forces" in a heavily unequal society. bsky.app/profile/equa...

This document is one of the great political failures of our time. It must be immediately denounced by all people of good will. And it will be a major scandal if any "civil rights" organization gives cover to this capitulation to fascism.

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

The coverage of the ICE execution by PBS has been shameful. It's a case study in copaganda. They brought on Obama's former ICE director to distract from core issues, sow confusion about whether what happened was justified, and promote more $$ for police/ICE "training" industry.

Clashing, inconsistent testimony and a threadbare defense landed Anthony Boyd on Alabama’s death row. Boyd, who maintained his innocence, was executed with nitrogen gas this fall.

He Was Convicted Entirely On Clashing Eyewitness Testimony. Alabama Plans to Execute Him Next Week.
No physical evidence connected Anthony Boyd to a 1993 murder. He was sent to death row on the word of a co-defendant who testified under the threat of capital punishment.

This debate exposes how baseless mainstream punditry is on cops, prosecutors, and prisons. Pundits don't know how the punishment bureaucracy works or the empirical evidence, and they're wrong about what's "popular." No wonder media rarely discusses it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZCl...

It is very rare that we have a deep debate in any media setting where prominent pro-police advocates are forced to defend their views. I tried my best in this fascinating and contentious argument to hold those views up to scrutiny. open.spotify.com/episode/5zV5...

Explorers emerge from a gigantic drill vehicle and shine a flashlight on a large white spherical object labelled "Core." The sphere has a dore on it. The explorers approach the core and one grabs the doorknob. He asks "what mysteries lie within?" The door opens to reveal a man pleasuring himself to vintage porno with his back facing the explores. His head swivels around. His horrified expression underscores the violation of privacy.
