the media is now telling people to work from home to save on gasoline, immediately after their years-long crusade to tell us why returning to office is best for everyone. this isn't a gotcha, it's an example of how contradicting demands allow the ruling class to blame us no matter what we do
When pro-democracy forces return to power, it is critical they take seriously the degradation and capture of the public square.
We can't allow a tiny handful of corrupt, anti-human billionaires to control the production and distribution of news and information.
I continue to be fascinated by the phenomenon whereby an expert engages with any of the LLMs on their field of expertise and is instantly horrified by the wrong answers, and then goes on to use it for things they are not experts in as though it won’t be just as bad for those.

If it's onshoring: Who builds new factories based on tariff that disappear before the factory is built?
It's a tax. That's all it is.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but cops are not allowed to shoot people just because you didn't do what they said.
That is called murder when they do that.
Some cops are working hard to convince people otherwise.
Police procedurals help normalize this FYI
@mhdksafa for the record: cops aren't supposed to kill guilty people either (from 2023)

“Beginning today, we will govern expansively and audaciously. We may not always succeed. But never will we be accused of lacking the courage to try.”
