People are disappearing incredibly quickly. And part of the invisibility is that just when we need even more capacity for rapid response and patrols, public interest has turned away because people don't think it's a problem anymore. We're tired.

I don't love dunking on folks but it's so fucking funny to me that Trump was convicted of 34 felonies 2 years ago, faced no punishment, and went on to win the presidency a second time and journalists are still like, "hmm, I have an inkling that maybe he believes he's above the law for some reason."

Post from NYT reporter Eric Lipton

"What an odd moment in United States history.

A U.S. president is running an overtly political campaign advertisement, right before midterm elections, paid for by the U.S. government.

Trump appears to believe he is immune from any kind of legal limit."

Posts like this about biking in Dutch cities are routinely replied to with comments like “well, they have the big advantage of being relatively flat.” The Dutch also have the big advantage of not constantly making excuses about why they can’t make clearly smarter city-making decisions. #Leadership

New — I had the opportunity to see NAZA, the documentary freaking out the Israeli government because of its horrifying firsthand descriptions of the way the IDF has used AI to target and massacre Palestinian civilians. My thoughts on the film’s damning revelations, and the banality of evil:

I saw the documentary the Israeli government doesn’t want you to see

'NAZA' dispels once and for all the myth that the IDF didn't target civilians in Gaza.

The current political moment has shown me how many people go through life frustrated that they don’t have the right state apparatus to indulge their worst urges. They‘re not “left behind”, they’re not “lonely”, they want to hurt other people. And this is their generational opportunity.

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,

This is one of the most disgusting and racist things I've ever seen. The right in Canada are selling dead Indigenous children t-shirts that promote genocide denial. Children's bones have been dug up at this point but it's never enough for them.

Here’s the pitch, more or less: shirts that tell Canadians to “dig deeper,” to demand “evidence” before believing First Nations, journalists, or anyone else who talks about unmarked graves — because, in their telling, those claims “shame” the nation and are being used to justify a national holiday. They frame it as a free-speech stand. Tired of being told what you’re allowed to question, they say. Make your voice heard.

So hey, if the #Canadian steel industry needs some help, the government is obviously going to spend some number of billions of dollars to keep things afloat. One wild idea might be to start a crown corp and use Canadian steel and labour to build indestructible cargo/commuter bikes for domestic use.
