I can’t believe we’re doing another cycle of pretending to have a deal with Iran. This is so stupid.

This story does not mention the driver, at all. As though the car had been driving itself. "man struck, killed by car" "a car jumped the curb" "a Prius drove up on the sidewalk" "still investigating what caused the Prius to leave the road"

Going to say something controversial yet brave and that is that "even" drug dealers don't deserve to be murdered by being blown up in the middle of the fucking ocean.

One year ago today, Minnesota Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were senselessly murdered in an act of political violence. In their memory, we recommit ourselves to the values that Melissa and Mark exemplified: building a kinder, more just, and loving world.

one interesting thing so far about loudly hating AI is the way AI lovers are like "wow so you're just totally closed off to hearing another perspective??" as if their perspective hasn't been relentlessly pushed down our throats with no space to push back (particularly in professional settings)

Appreciate this detail from CBS News reporter Jennifer Jacobs. It's an important part of the story that seems to be missing from a lot of comments & coverage.
Replying to 
@JenniferJJacobs
The shooting happened on the level above the ballroom where the White House Correspondents Association dinner was. 
I don't think people hearing about this -- or even those of us in the room -- realized how far from the president, VP and other guests this incident was. It was on another floor, up some stairs and several sets of security away. 
Because the Washington Hilton's hotel and other public spaces were open for other functions, the entire building wasn't secured by the Secret Service, just the specific areas where the WHCA dinner was held, law enforcement officials told @CBSNews
.

The murders of Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, along with the attempted murder of John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette barely lasted a news cycle. The attempted arson of Josh Shapiro's house didn't break through at all. Compare that to the coverage of charlie kirk.

Hearing from Trumpists and their fellow travelers today, I've come to realize that if we build a huge, gilded ballroom at every elementary and secondary school in America, our schoolchildren will be so much safer from the scourge of constant gun violence.
