An obvious case of corprate lawyers at major media deciding that the truth is too dangerous and must be softened. The issue is NOT that a single Democratic Senator stated that Hegseth is hiding the true cost of the war in Iran. The REAL story is simply that Hegseth is hiding the truth.

This would move public opinion quite dramatically against the death penalty. There is a reason that states do not broadcast their executions. They know that public sentiment would quickly shift.

It is hypocritical for cities to use AI for mass surveillance and then turn around and claim their technology is too outdated to fulfill public records requests about said mass surveillance. If you can afford these cameras, you can afford to tell the public about them.

a little louder for the cheap seats in the back

One of the biggest myths is that men rape by mistake. Like, "Oh, they need consent training." But research is very clear: Sexual violence is not a mistake. It is an intentionally made decision by people who know they don't have consent. They just don't prioritize consent over things like status, power, domination, and sexual gratification.
For my research, I got a certificate of confidentiality from the National Institutes of Health, so my notes couldn't be subpoenaed. One of the reasons I call them perpetrators in my work is because every single person I interviewed confessed in that context. The first question I would ask them was, "When you received that email from Title IX that you were under investigation, did you know what it was about?" Every perpetrator I interviewed said "yes." If sexual assault were a miscommunication, you would be wondering, What have I possibly done wrong? That is not the way that any of them reacted because they knew.
