"U.S. police departments have gotten smaller—and the violent crime rate is still plummeting. So what is going on?" What's ALWAYS gone on. Cops do not stop crime. They never have. Real "tough on crime" measures are well-funded schools, free daycare, and mental health services. Always have been.

Well, the lion is a big ol’ coward, mostly. If you want trouble, you want to tangle with the lioness. They’re killers, and they hunt together. It’s the same everywhere. If you want big grief, look to the ladies. - Terry Pratchett, Monstrous Regiment

The “perception issue” with the economy right now is simple Poor and disabled people were better off during the acute stage of the pandemic. They were the biggest beneficiaries of broad government transfers to people, and a lot of non-monetary covid policies made their lives easier

When we say “tech guys need the humanities too” we’re not talking about diluting the pool of Linus Torvalds with underwater basket weavers, we’re talking about arming them with enough literacy to comprehend Sci-Fi in a way that doesn’t get them sued by Scarlett Johansson

I don’t care that Trump forgot Barron’s age. I don’t care about Trump’s ravings outside the courtroom. Media outlets covering Trump should prioritize this story. B/c this is about the sale of our country, our planet, & our children’s future to the highest bidder. www.nytimes.com/2024/05/09/c...

At a Dinner, Trump Assailed Climate Rules and Asked $1 Billion From Big Oilwww.nytimes.com At a private meeting at Mar-a-Lago, the former president said fossil fuel companies should donate to help him beat President Biden.

Relatives I never hear from, and never see, are upset I didn’t attend my abusive father’s funeral. Oh no. Whatever will I do.

I made a lil’ whale.

Imagine if the New York Times reported that a worm had eaten part of your brain and then died in your skull and everyone’s reaction was like, “Yeah, that makes sense.”

There’s a tornado in my city. Hittin’ the basement, this shit ain’t pretty.

It's easier to start and win the global intifada than change healthcare insurance.

The world is on fire. So I sat outside and listened to the birds today. And enjoyed my little garden.

Listen, everything feels like it's on fire right now and it kinda is. But you gotta keep living and keep taking care of yourself. So do something for yourself today. Sit in the sunshine for a few minutes. Read/write some indulgent fanfic. Doodle a silly little dude. Whatever makes you happy

liberalism is believing you can call on the services of fascism to enforce your laws while keeping those fascists under control and this is always, always wrong

I’m more depressed by the lack of reaction to the Supreme Court than the Supreme Court. We’re watching the beginning of structural authoritarianism and everyone is just too tired or unaware to react. Fascism works.
