Texas loaded busses with desperate migrants and dropped them off in Chicago like trash in the middle of winter. We welcomed them into our communities. Now Texas is sending its National Guard to terrorize them on our streets. In our neighborhoods. What the fuck.

no matter your politics it’s disrespectful to joke about someone’s death. don’t say rudy giuliani died from driving his car into a wall painted to look like a tunnel and all his clothes flew off in the crash and then a sixteen wheeler semi truck ran over his dick and balls. don’t say stuff like that

The guy behind this was responsible for setting up, and running a gunshot detection system that was a complete failure. He tried to blame Prine for failure of the program using a sham report he wrote himself.

I'm not happy having to defend the police, but Prine was doing the right thing, and the olde wealth in the city (current mayor) got rid of him for it, and then tried to re-hire the guy that submitted the sham report (who was fired for submitting the sham report.

He was fired because he caught the current mayor's minion drawing up sham contracts with sham vendors. The same minion that submitted a "damning" report he secretly authored, and attributed to a sham vendor who simply corrected the spelling of the report (and was paid thousands by the city to do so)

When someone uses the phrase "mind virus" unironically, I just assume their either a bigot, or a moron. Probably both.

As I detailed in WHITE FLIGHT, segregationists in Atlanta absolutely loved public services -- buses and trolleys, parks and pools, golf courses and tennis courts, etc. -- right until they were forced to desegregate and "stolen" from them. They abandoned them and built up private alternatives.

WTF? I was quoted in this story but I have never spoken to the reporter nor would I have said those things. Is everything just generated by LLMs these days? cosmosmagazine.com/earth/oceans...

To whom it may concern, and it should concern the editor: I was quoted in your publication: https://cosmosmagazine.com/earth/oceans/can-we-engineer-our-way-out-of-ocean-acidification/ Still, others aren't convinced that good intentions are enough. Dr. David Ho, Professor of Oceanography at University of Hawaii at Manoa, a cofounder and the Chief Science Officer of |C|Worthy, a non-profit that works on verifying ocean-based carbon dioxide removal, believes carbon removal efforts like ocean alkalinity enhancement shouldn't be left solely in the hands of private companies.

it will be difficult but we're going to need a fairly radical shift in online norms over the coming years as censorship and puritan crackdowns continue to worsen. absolutely no more listing your age, mental illnesses and all your kinks on your profile. the era of shutting da fuck up is here

The key to good legal writing is clarity. Exceptional clarity persuades. Unclarity sows doubt. Not key? Originality. Humor. Cleverness. A distinctive voice. Torrents of peripheral legal authority. Demonstrations of opposing counsel’s stupidity and bad faith. Edit for clarity.
