TBH I don’t want have to change at all, I’m just saying in the magic genie scenario I’d wish that people agreed with me

I wish I was persuasive

MARTIN: It’s interesting, 'cause I covered the White House in the administration of George H. W. Bush, and I knew about it. But then when I’ve talked to colleagues about it, they didn’t know about it, and people are continually surprised.

Maybe because news publishers like NPR and CNN never put that detail in the headlines of their stories that brush up against this open secret

If the Wikipedia page on expungement is accurate there is some sort of process where it will get sealed from public view after a certain amount of time has passed.

I do agree if this is a one off thing it shouldn’t haunt the rest of her life, especially given the fact that we’re talking about a thirteen year old who was a victim of (at best) extremely negligent caregiving.

Conservatives when a criminal justice system is punishing someone they don’t like: “Blood for the blood god!”

Conservatives when someone’s held accountable for a hate crime: “What has happened to our humanity?!”

I think it’s less that than how the title gives an impression this is some racist right wing nonsense about how migration is bad for societies when it actually seems to be the opposite of that (I’ve only had a chance to watch the first 3 minutes so far, but that seems to be where it’s going)

The President Called all the Artists by Micah Sommersmith

FWIW, the article author also wrote a book called “Freedom from Want: The Human Right to Adequate Food”

Campaigners say further physical and mental harm could be inflicted under Labour home secretary Yvette Cooper’s plan to increase deportations to 2018 levels – with a goal to remove thousands of migrants and refused asylum seekers by the end of the year.

I hate how many people seem to be fighting for this title

You think Palestinian lives weren’t being threatened and taken by Israeli violence before October 7?

Boo Radley weird vs Bob Ewell weird

Also, it’s not exactly clear where “there” even was

A video shared on social media shows protesters holding Palestinian flags and accusing theatregoers at a cafe next to Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre of “Zionism”.

…

A spokesperson for Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre said: “The videos that emerged on social media were exchanges that did not take place at Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre. Last night’s performance went ahead as planned.”

Was this demonstration actually in response to the play performance or did they just happen to be near each other?

I think I agree, but I’d phrase it a bit differently. The problem in our country isn’t division, it’s that there’s an energetic fascist movement that needs to be stopped. The problem with assassinating Trump is that it gives that movement a martyr and would very much energize them (disorganize them too, since they wouldn’t know for sure who to follow anymore, but they’ve never needed to be too organized to do damage and they could do plenty before succession fueled infighting really started to take a toll).

Killing Trump won’t kill his ideas, the only way to do that is to embarrass Trump and Trumpism badly, so I think the best series of events would be a) Trump loses the election, b) prosecutors explain Trump’s many crimes in meticulous detail to a series of juries who sentence Trump to years and years behind bars, c) Trump dies of a heart attack while taking a shit in prison.

The fact that the voters already did a) once in 2020 and the system’s let us down on b) is deeply frustrating and worth acknowledging for the sake of identifying the country’s underlying problems (it’s the politicians and lawyers more than it is the voters), but it doesn’t change the fact that assassinating Trump is the last thing we want to do at this point.

I don’t recall learning about the last time the Tops grocery shooter looked at porn

Oh yeah, the one that goes “cut my land into pieces, for oligarchs’ resorts”

Gosh, I can’t believe Forbes whiffed on a social justice issue, they’ve been so deeply committed to those principles throughout their publication history /s

One argument I don’t think anyone else has made here - we have fewer restrictions on what can be advertised, where and when ads can be played, and how close to true those advertisements have to be than a lot of other countries do. I think this has the effect of wearing down people’s ability and willingness to engage in logical analysis of the information they receive because we’re constantly bombarded with information and most of it is bullshit to sell us crap we don’t need, so we have to skim through and tune out a lot, and in that process I think a lot of information that’s actually true but that people don’t want to believe gets thrown out too.

I’m pretty sure the WJET/WFXP tag on the front of the article means it’s a reprint of an article originally written by the Fox TV affiliate for Erie, Pennsylvania, so yeah this is like a content mill husk that most for-profit local news in America has turned into being regurgitated by a source somehow even more soulless and predatory

Looks like mądry Polak po szkodzie isn’t always the case

And the US government is going to hold a vote on a plan to make it harder for people to migrate today
