"My company is so big, you can't expect us to inspect *all* of the airplane door bolts." As with any industrial safety and compliance issue, using scale as an excuse is just admitting that you don't want to pay to hire and properly train the necessary number of inspectors.

Mark Zuckerberg is on record saying his company is so big that even if they catch 99% of malicious content tens of millions of posts would slip by. So idk, maybe that’s something to consider.

Oh wow. They forgot that Joey Chestnut usually brings all the hot dogs for the hot dog eating contest. They're bringing out hamburgers because they don't have any hot dogs. Everyone is booing. This is getting ugly.

"Don't worry, if the president imprisons his political enemies, you can still get a writ of habeas corpus." "But to prove that's why you've been imprisoned requires proof of..." "Presidential motive!" "And under Trump v US, presidential motive is..." "Inadmissible!"

I'm a hard-eyed realist about electoral politics, that's why I'm advising the Democrats to shove aside the elected vice president and replace her with someone who'd vacate a purple- or red-state Senate seat

Periodically, I like to reread my favorite Scottish poem: Batman's Aff His Nut by Robert Florence.

The Times editorial board thinks it has the standing and persuasive power to make a president drop out of his reelection race but also can't imagine Donald Trump campaigning on the message that the New York Times says Joe Biden isn't up for the job

perfect analogy. NYT can't watch a single day before pumping out a histrionic take. Bonus: it is sure to be ignored by the ostensible target and paraded around by the existential threat we are theoretically facing. For good measure, it might alter the dynamic it purports to be describing.

every time you see a publication amplifying republican claims that biden is taking pre-debate drugs without mentioning that the trump administration went through enough speed to make secretariat run through 5,000 feet of solid granite, they are making a choice

Not that this shit's not gonna destroy the world but if so it'll be by gray goo deployments devouring all access to usable information or some boss somewhere putting a chatbot in charge of nuclear safety processes, not the awakening of a vengeful Computer God

It's super funny to read a text where these clammy dorks are gravely intoning their p(doom) numbers at one another now that Ay Eye Tech is out in the wild and it's all pizza glue and Boobs by Thomas Kinkade

I remained convinced this started in pro wrestling online fandom, which is another reason to quarantine that group

One major shift in the last ten years is that everyone - politics people, sports people, movie people - have at least in part stopped being able to talk about the thing they're actually interested in and have succumbed to the idea that marketing is the thing that matters

Those arguing that it was inappropriate to pursue Trump in NY need to account for the fact that every other political and legal mechanism to hold him publicly accountable before the next election has failed.

Breaking news: The Georgia Court of Appeals ordered a halt to the proceedings in Trump's election interference case, meaning the case against the former president and his co-defendants will most likely not be scheduled for trial before the fall election.

Guys. GUYS. I know you’re a bunch of cynics, you think everyone on the right is hypocritical. But I firmly believe this exact op-ed would have been written if there were photos of an antifa flag at Judge Merchan’s house. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

*I just think the proper and appropriate thing would be to convict him on the real, serious charges, which coincidentally are the charges the prosecutors are too feckless and the judiciary too corrupt for anyone to try him on*

This was the original consensus take on the indictment among various cynics, frauds, and cowards (defector.com/the-doubts-w...) but it's screwy to still be trying to sell it AFTER he got literally actually convicted by a jury on the New York charges

think a broader lesson is that isn't ACTUALLY that hard to get a jury to put a rich white guy away so maybe we should ask why there aren't more prosecutions (yes yes we all know why)

Pointing out again that acquiring and publishing leaked video that is embarrassing to or harms the reputation of a famous rapper is, in fact, journalism.

In addition to not being a legal reporter and clearly not competent to cover ongoing legal proceedings, as I watch the live coverage of today’s testimony, it’s strikes me that Maggie Haberman should not be covering a trial *in which she is a subject of testimony and direct evidence*!

Holy shit, NYT hire one (1) real New York legal reporter or law student who got a B+ or better in Evidence www.nycourts.gov/judges/evide...
