    Police behaving badly

    If you have a better idea, I'd like to hear it. Even if it were possible for cops who just want to close a case, and are willing to drag any old rando off the street and throw him in front of a judge to make that happen, to do so peacefully and politely, that's still an innocent person who's had...

    Harris-Walz / Dems

    There need be no "or". CNN, USA Today, and MSNBC are owned by right-wing shills too, just subtler ones who don't want to murder gay people. It's the nature of being a big business.

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    Still the most impactful outcome they could have hoped for. No one cares about Libertarian candidates, including most libertarians. That dude down the street with the yellow snake flag votes Republican all the way down the ticket, every year, just like his neighbor with the giant Trump banner.

    I think you underestimate how much of Twitter is shitposting, conspiracy theories, and people who think they're the Onion. (I mean, hell, the sheer volume of disinformation on there is the whole reason the fact-check bot exists.)

    Police behaving badly

    It's always about closing the case. Name any jurisdiction—hell, any country—where the cops get penalized if the guy they bring in doesn't end up getting convicted.

    How the hell is X's context bot, which was trained on Twitter data of all things, consistently better at fact checking than Google is at fact finding?

    Climate change (because it's still political for some reason)

    And only the capitalists who are reliant on being able to sell fossil fuels. I'll bet the people running the grid are thrilled that they're getting all this free energy they can turn around and charge people to connect them to.

    UK politics thread – meet the new boss, same as the old boss

    Assuming it results in a majority government that's in favor of rejoining the EU (probably as a full member because I doubt they'd take them back under any other terms), "Dependence Day" might be more apt.

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    Not to mention two other women who are gunning for the job have a pretty big head start on kissing up to him, and are doing it with a lot more enthusiasm than just mentioning they're planning to vote for him. Yeah, you and half the country, back of the line, lady. Incidentally, given the...

    It wouldn't make a difference. You know what they say about living long enough to become the villain.

    Ranting about quebec: newspark edition!

    Hypothetically, if Quebec did secede and literally force you out, would Canada be obligated to treat you as refugees, or would they just be like "Oh hey good luck with that eh?"

    Wait, so then it's not just caching the metadata that goes through it, but actually doing a full video recording of what's on the screen constantly? How is that not going to result in amassing terabytes of superfluous data every week???

    UK politics thread – meet the new boss, same as the old boss

    When it leads to the Tories getting buried in a record-breaking landslide, feel free to steal our national holiday. Lord knows we don't have any excuse to keep celebrating it.

    Everyone's a critic: Brought to you by viewers like YouTube

    Did I just spend four hours without a break watching the former cowriter and voice actor of Friendship Is Witchcraft break down the experience of the failed Star Wars hotel? Yes I did. Join me if you have the stamina. The big revelation for me was learning what it even was. For starters, it...

    The problem isn't that we need convincing. It's that our future is in the hands of a lot of people who do.

    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    And of course the story ends with Trump having reversed course on condemning her, demonstrating that openly bragging about being a piece of jive is what will get you positive marks from Trump and his base. EDIT: That comment was about Noem, not Greene. Though frankly both are probably the two...

    No, they're a murder cult. If they were a death cult they would be the ones dying, which would make me very happy.

    On the overall subject of things Democrats were going to do and didn't because reasons, whatever happened to those plans to remove Andrew Jackson from the $20 bill?
