Jim Dey | Five years later, Black caucus says SAFE-T Act working just fine

Imagine making AI bird slop when bald eagles capture red tailed hawk chicks to eat and then their little brains decide to raise them already exist 🪶

I did a medium dive into this botched appendectomy of a bill.

Gosh. Who could have predicted this state of affairs? www.techdirt.com/2024/12/10/f...

Supreme Court arguments make it clear that FCC fines are "nonbinding" FCC tells Supreme Court its fines are nonbinding unless a jury upholds penalty.

wireless carriers are likely to be let off the hook for years of spying on your daily sensitive movement data, then selling it to any nitwit with two nickels to rub together

Imagine making AI bird slop when Jacanas exist

I stand by this as my overarching political philosophy.

That trend for homesteading and romantically growing what you eat but instead of one acre you have an acre of servers and tell everyone they should host their own mail.

That blows my mind.

This was the 4th story on WCVB this evening at 6 p.m. — after a much longer story about police caught in the middle of a "street takeover."

No one is asking questions why this driver even still had her license.

A 10-year-old is killed and all we are left with is platitudes about how tragic it is.

There's a decent chance now we either

A. Get Appalachia to swing left by accident after SCOTUS sides with the 6th Circuit

B. Get legal home distilling off of Gorsuch somehow.

It's all happening at the zoo (pooping)

We really need this over here

Our Idiot President “Can’t Even Surrender Right” We will get the worst possible result from the least-worst choice.

“Business people talk about the virtues of “failing fast.” The faster something fails, the cheaper the cost of the failure. The slower it fails, the harder it is to cut your losses.

The same dynamic applies to the Iran war.”

totally compatible since to make things fair you need to put them motherfuckers against the wall, and to put them motherfuckers against the wall you need to make things fair.

Most true thing that can be said of almost all Trump voters

Dort posting about how he's awake against the nightmare (the nightmare is the jews) .

Jennica is obviously fucking insane, like "has cooked her brain to the point she's indistinguishable from someone with schizophrenia" but dort, boy, I dunno

Kinda seems suboptimal a FGO is applaudingly RTing stuff saying his service secretary is part of a jew plot to depose the president

Iran going after Bsky is a genuinely funny waste of resources.

There's Discourse™️ on Threads right now about a guy saying he wished there were specific resources for men who have intrusive thoughts about hurting their partner or others. People are mad saying he's conflating people with OCD with rapists. Other people also have intrusive thoughts!

“He vomited a green substance and fainted,” the man said. “His body was white. He was shaking and sweating and officials paid no attention to him.” According to the man, who asked not to be named to avoid retaliation, this was the third person to be hospitalized after facing similar symptoms.”🚨🏥🚑

The fact that every major police union endorsed Donald Trump is under appreciated in our political discourse.

The Capital is Misaligned and the Crash is Coming My strong disagreement with the sentiment on Wall Street.

Smith and Huntsman approached Scott and grabbed his arms. Scott repeatedly pleaded “please” and “what are you doing” in a distressed voice, while Smith and Huntsman pulled him to the ground. At first, the officers held Scott’s arms at his sides while he was lying on his back. In this position, Scott screamed, struggled, and pled with the officers to leave him alone for over two minutes. The officers then eventually rolled Scott onto his stomach, repeatedly ordering Scott to “stop.” With Scott on his stomach and with his hands restrained behind his back, Huntsman put his bodyweight on Scott’s back and neck for about one to two minutes. At the same time Smith put his weight on Scott’s legs, restraining his lower body. Scott’s pleas turned increasingly incoherent and breathless as Huntsman applied his bodyweight. After handcuffing him, the officers attempted to roll Scott on his side, as he continued to incoherently cry out that he wanted to be left alone. When they rolled Scott over, his face was bloody from contact with the ground. Scott stopped yelling and thrashing around after a few minutes. Scott did not respond when Smith and Huntsman tried to wake or revive him. Shortly after, when the paramedics arrived, Scott was still unresponsive. Scott was pronounced dead after paramedics removed him from the scene. Plaintiffs’ expert found that Scott had died from restraint asphyxia.

One might hope that the Supreme Court's conservative supermajority would at least explain why it tossed out the lower court ruling against these officers, who seemingly murdered this man for no reason. Alas, we get nothing.

Here's that now-vacated ruling: cases.justia.com/federal/appe...

ABTCR just got a call about these two young adult female hounds, we think they're littermates. They were found wandering and starving a little ways outside Raleigh, and we're trying to find a foster home that can take them both:
