The descriptions here about how many men were sitting in a Vegas casino alone gambling on their phones is so bleak.

this would cost 10 times as much in the US and not connect to anything

A green frog mascot wearing black shades, orange jacket and shorts, and a blue shirt strikes a pose in a used book store.

Jubapyon is a gregarious cool frog who sometimes appears in Takafumido Book Store in Azabu Juban, Tokyo.

The number of Republicans crashing out about getting nakedly gerrymandered is, unironically, a sign that we need to do more of it. You guys are correct! This shit sucks! Welcome to the party, pals! We can all stop doing it any time you like!

The indictment is arguing that by paying the informants, the SPLC was helping further extremist activity. But as Ryan notes below, the SPLC was sharing its intelligence with law enforcement. Is the Justice Dept suggesting that the FBI was using that intelligence to help these groups? Makes no sense

This is the thing, if "academia" wanted to stop this, we could easily tomorrow. Over 3 incorrect references? Rejected and forbidden to submit next year.

The purpose of a system is what it does!

Best ONN in months at least.

The implicit media consensus is that urban voters should not be able to overrule rural voters, but that rural voters should be able to overrule urban voters, an assumption so axiomatic and unquestionable that nobody even understands they're making it.

"They went door-to-door to tell their neighbors what the city had not told them: The data center would use twice as much electricity as all of Monterey Park."

The city’s notification in English reached only 40 people living within 500 feet. Activists worked in English, Chinese, Spanish & more!

Nobody is safe as long as this man is in office. Impeach now.

Later in the 1970s, Roger Freeman — a key educational adviser to Nixon then working for the reelection of California governor Ronald Reagan — spelled out quite precisely what the conservative counter attack was aimed at preventing: "We are in danger of producing an educated proletariat. That's dynamite! We have to be selective on the we allow to go through higher education. If not we will have a large number of highly trained and unemployed people." The two most menacing institutional sources of the same described by Freeman were obviously those two great public university systems charging no tuition: the University of California and the City University of New York. Governor Reagan was able to wipe out free tuition at the University of California. Source: Vietnam and Other Fantasies, by H Bruce Franklin

MSG Security Allegedly Tracked a Trans Woman’s Movements, Including Bathroom Breaks, Down to the Second A bomshell report in Wired details an extensive use of the venue’s facial recognition system.

This is totally predictable and exactly why we have been fighting for years to ban the use of facial recognition in concert venues.

Madison Square Garden is one of the only venues in the country that still does this.

Bike lanes do take space away from drivers.
Why not get rid of sidewalks too, hell school zones really slow drivers down..get rid of schools! While we're at it i'm kind of tired of those pesky residential areas with their people and stop signs - no more homes! Nothing but roads and parking lots.

Is someone going to tell him that the flu killed more US troops in WWI than any battle did (and that war had chemical weapons so horrific that they were banned afterwards)?

JFC. Does he not remember where the 1918 flu pandemic first took off in the US? It was in Army barracks in Kansas, and it spread with US troops as they shipped off to Europe to fight.

Key evidence disappears from Tesla involved in bizarre crash The network card that stores and transmits crash data to Tesla's servers was physically removed from a Tesla Model Y involved in a violent 90 km/h crash in Bergen, Norway.

you might be surprised by how often Tesla's data recording systems randomly break, fail to function properly, go missing, or are otherwise mysteriously unable to perform their functions precisely when they are needed most

then again, you might not be surprised at all

Trump nominations loom over Senate's cherished Munich trip Thune warned they may have to stay in town to vote on President Trump's nominations.

RFK was fast tracked after this article came out where senators were complaining about Trump's nominees maybe affecting their trip to Germany where they get free beer and sausage.

This is one of these things I can type out and shout till I'm blue in the face and it is indisputably true but also it is not covered anywhere so people do not believe it.

Your regular reminder that cops don't actually justify their existence or enormous budgets by solving much crime.

Approximately 11% of all serious crimes result in an arrest, and about 2% end in a conviction.

And then there's this...

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

"Mark Zuckerberg's pervert glasses"

We're not "extra" dysfunctional on the Lefts. We're just much less resourced. This assessment puts me in the minority on my side of the political spectrum.
