People are burning Waymos because they are vile representations of governance that has valued profit over the public good: they represent labor replacement, the decimation of public transport, & wild sci-fi fantasies being privileged over common sense.

The internet novel isn’t about irony poisoning or doomscrolling, it’s about the strange and sincere intimacy the internet engenders between people who know they’ll never meet. This is also why the best internet fiction follows sad perverts on webcams. In this essay, I will

This took a while, but I've chronicled my day among the protesters in Los Angeles, and the idea that this is anything but a celebration of cultural heritage and a firm, nonviolent demand to protect family, friends and neighbors is totally ridiculous. (links and pics below)

Revisionism about this is in vogue now, but Obama was not good at bullshitting. He was seen as liberal by most voters. He won in 2008 despite this perception after an unpopular Republican presidency during a financial crisis. Not because people bought he was a moderate.

America is deeply invested in the idea that hurting someone’s family licenses them (especially mom/dad/spouse) to do anything to protect them. We pump out movies, shows, and books about it. And now that masked men are tearing families apart people want to talk about Waymo Rights.

This place is just a hack factory now. The most worthless people this country has ever produced just floating to the top like light sewage.

Zohran seems to be polling well despite not throwing immigrants or queer people under the bus? Are there any consultants I can pay millions of dollars to explain why this is wrong? Please my Party needs to the right if we want to win

A data broker owned by the major airlines, including Delta, American, and United, collected travelers’ flight records, sold access to them to Customs and Border Protection, and in the contract told CBP not to reveal where the data came from. From WIRED: wired.com/story/airlines….

the idea that one’s moral standard is set by if property is destroyed and not if human life is destroyed showcases a morally inept view on the world

A company donated $400,000 to Cuomo’s campaign—then got $25 million in public grants. They used the money on luxury art, mood music systems, and fake flowers. Cuomo’s office redacted the financial records. currentaffairs.org/news/andrew-cu…

In early June 2020, there was a poll from WaPo that found majority support for the Floyd protests even among Americans who believed the protests had been "mostly violent." They were massively popular as they were happening. washingtonpost.com/politics/big-m…
