Because why would you want deterministic search results when you're looking for a job?
Screenshot of the top portion of LinkedIn job search results. There's a message that threatens, "We're gradually retiring classic job search starting in September. Try AI-powered job search and describe the role you want in your own words."

It’s important to be clear that the truth value of a subject does not become debatable just because somebody wants to debate. Ether. Wandering wombs. Devils in red heads, the cursed left handed. Flat earth. Phrenology. Humors. Race science. “Debate me bro!” It’s fine for the answer to be: no.

When it comes to immigrants and trans people, you either care enough now to defend them at all times & in every fashion or you accept that you should never be trusted. And yes, this includes people who defend Dems that reliably vote to hurt immigrants and trans people.

It would be nice if, at the very least, the people reporting on this stuff properly contextualized it by explicitly stating that if the president can do this the union has ceased to exist. It's not hyperbole or figurative language. There is no union. "Unconstitutional" doesn't cover it.

The Republican Party is not our enemy because we intend to kill them, but because they intend to kill us--and already have killed a great many of us. Your friendship ought not to have survived that; it is to your great discredit that it did. Our anger, born of discouragement, is real and abiding.

when you tell us that the people who murdered comity and civility—who are trying to kill and rob and enslave us—are actually your dear friends, you don’t create civility, but despair; we see you don’t actually believe the danger is real, can’t be trusted to fight the battle that needs to be fought.

To Democrats and their eulogies: If you say that democracy is under attack by the Republican Party—and it is—and you say that the Republican Party represents an authoritarian threat—and it does—then civility and comity have already been murdered, and shows of comity are utterly incoherent.

Trump may not carry out the threat. But the fact he even made such a threat means he should immediately be removed from office. For that is the purpose of a constitution with checks and balances.

This is your daily reminder that any member of the House, Democrat or Republican, has the ability to sponsor an impeachment resolution and force a vote on it. Also, that they took an oath to "... support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic ..."

This is rule by force instead of rule by law. Under these circumstances, as Pompey is said to have informed us 2,000 years ago, it's useless to quote laws at men with swords. Once the government chooses lawless, armed oppression, our choices are limited to direct action and submission.

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.
