I always remember the story of investors getting stuck in a Google self driving car in mountain view for maybe 45 minutes because it was programmed to follow the rules on merging and no one would let it into the road

looks like this suit was filed by the Attorney General, who ran against the guy Stitt appointed and may be a throwback to "extremely conservative but not a total Christian Nationalist"? [also filed to vacate Richard Glossip's conviction, which shouldn't be a high bar but is]

I am going to make a UK Politics Post which is I just saw an LD voter making the best case not to vote LD (this isn't telling you not to vote LD. you've got great reason to vote LD and if I were there I probably would too)

I think attributing "(((evil money)))" to Bowman is pretty fucking offensive when it is objectively true that AIPAC has spent record amounts against him

County maps usually give distorted views because they overrepresent rural counties with small populations. Like Nevada looks very red if you don't know that 2/3 of the votes are in that one blue county. In Black Belt states, some of the overrepresented counties are majority Black.

The last two sentences are correct, of course, but the rest is a clinic in lying with chloropleth maps. The darkest color is >50%, many of those counties are low-pop rurals, and no state has a Black majority. Republicans win in those states because white voters vote for them as a bloc.

have to use a fair paraphrase because the actual transcript is typical Trump word salad

should add, articles can't cite the ADL as a source of facts *about Israel/Palestine*. there is still discussion of them as a source about antisemitism in general, and their hate symbols database. agree with Mira Sucharov in the article's kicker

we discovered this was not true! prospective jurors' anti-Trump tweets were read out in front of him and it hurt his feelings! ...would add, this is *especially* not true of Biden's ads? Trump will hear those

this guy was in an interesting story about someone who is faithful to his code, though the story wouldn't have worked without a lot of complications around the code

yeah, there are a lot of people playing dumb about why people are angry about a supposed leftist who (a) was at the very least not *against* Trump in 2016 and (b) is a declared non-feminist and also, coincidentally, right-wing on core feminist issues

for my sins, I read a lot of your posts, and what I gathered is that you're not beating this rap
