They are still relitigating the last election instead of currently laying the groundwork for winning the next one.
And all of the candidates who need non-white supremacist, non-ableist, non-transphobic votes are very busy bashing the marginalized & disenfranchised.
That’s how you lose again.
The fact that every major police union endorsed Donald Trump is under appreciated in our political discourse.
The Democrats sense that they're gonna cruise to midterm victory by doing nothing and offering nothing and are using it as a freebie to punch left to make sure the voters don't get any ideas.
Hartzog said lawmakers need to create more specific rules tailored to the unique threat posed by the combination of facial recognition and nearly undetectable surveillance technology before it becomes ubiquitous. Those laws need to target not only people using the technology, but also the companies behind it, he said. “A lot of these conversations tend to focus on, ‘is it OK to use these glasses or this tool to surveil other people?’” he said. “What often gets lost in this conversation is, ‘is it OK for companies to design these really socially hostile tools in ways that will foreseeably lead to massive violations of privacy?’”

Yes, *that* Ruben Gallego.
from the article: “"She wasn't taking pictures in restricted areas. She wasn't trying to go places she shouldn't be," the source continued. "This is just a very large transgender woman, being a fan, walking around."” https://www.wired.com/story/madison-square-garden-jim-dolan-surveillance-machine/
glad that the (otherwise well reported) wired article about the dolans using facial recognition tech to track a trans woman in the garden to keep her off the MSG cameras included the extremely important detail that she was “very large.” you don’t want anyone forgetting she was monstrous to behold
I've been in tech & social impact VC my whole career so please believe me that there are only 3 things a tech company will ever do with your data—sell it, use it to sell you things, or compromise it.
Folks will @ me w/ "but I found this great small tech company" You may be right. Until you're not.
I know this lady husband name not “dick tips”
you shouldn’t learn about bands from shady TikTok manipulation, you should learn about bands by hanging out with a girl you like but are also extremely afraid of
the second amendment was never intended to be used against a tyrannical president. the function is to have an unaccountable militia to shoot runaway slaves and indigenous peoples without any accountability. it was simply convenient that genociding indigenous peoples opened up westward settlement.

It ends when we have a society not of abuse but of universal thriving, where the cost of abuse is high and paid only by the abuser; where natural costs of human society are shared equitably, where any who benefit more will also be naturally expected to pay more, & will not be permitted to pay less.
In an enabler culture, revelation of the offense is the offense. This—yet another moment when it becomes obvious that powerful men consume women and children for pleasure—is going to be framed, once again, as a scary time for powerful men.
At a certain point of wealth, what is being pursued seems not to be wealth, but the ability to make other people suffer. What's being pursued is immunity from human decency; the ability and even the right to be depraved with impunity. They get off on the suffering. www.the-reframe.com/where-it-ends/
We do not have the structural supports in place for victims of sexual violence to reliably come forward without risking their lives. This lack of support also makes it difficult for people who "know" about it to come forward, because tugging on that thread will ultimately lead back to the victims.
Is it really inexplicable, though? Great projects getting cancelled by misogynists is also a terrible part of life.
Oh, I was thinking a brief description and a direct link to the hidden item. If folks like foraging, that wouldn't be terrible.
If you hid them, could you have another page on the site that's links to the mox classic collection but not "in the shop" as such?
The real problem with the Third Reich's nuclear program was that it didn't use good German uranium.
The intro for this one is nice
i wonder if JD Vance would be surprised to know many husbands don't have to make their wives promise not to jump out of airplanes
There was about a three second delay after reading this before it hit me.
I think people should respond this way any time they are asked this question bsky.app/profile/dipl...
"Democrat Party Influencers" are dunking on Trump for not sticking to his word and committing a bunch of war crimes and slaughtering millions of innocent Iranians. The "resistance" thinks not committing countless atrocities is weak.
This is the party that wants my vote. I fucking hate this country
I liked this one under protest
The singular goal of all future US politics is to ensure Trumpism is defeated and cannot again take root here, and everything that serves that end is to be considered and prioritized. It's a holistic organizing principle, from a Green New Deal to Nuremberg 2 to expanding the court to Reconstruction.
Count me among those who believe that we need to drive these fascists out of power, stooping to dirty tricks if necessary. Strip their assets, hound them out of public life, make them afraid to even express their beliefs in public.
Drive them into exile before the only alternative is mass violence.
The "duped voter" narrative is a comforting myth. If only we had better messaging.
The reality is tens of millions of voters looked at a platform of mass deportation, ethnic cleansing, state violence, and the dismantling of civil rights, clearly understood it, and said, "Yes, that is what I want."
I met a traveler from an antique land,
who said: The president of the United
States has threatened. To destroy a Civilization, how does an investor process that?
Is it a bigger upside risk?
Or is it a bigger downside risk?
You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.
