If the shooting was “not related to the RNC,” why would cops from Columbus, Ohio be involved in the first place? Also, pretty on the nose for cops from a red state to come to a blue city and kill a homeless black guy on the second night of the RNC. www.jsonline.com/story/news/c...

Trump is 100% now imagining getting shot at every time he gets in front of a crowd, for the rest of his life.

I wouldn't make that inference; I suspect the reason they chose Northwestern is bc the cofounder of Fed Soc is at Northwestern

i used to be able to recite this movie line by line.
Finally watched The Lion In Winter and realized I should’ve seen it ten times by now. Great actors being funny and cruel to each other, in a medieval setting no less? That’s the sauce.

God the Republicans are always breaking promises and dashing hopes. First the taco trucks on every corner and now this.
9 days before the assassination attempt, Lee Greenwood (who partners with Trump on a $60 Bible) told a 4th of July crowd undocumented immigrants are coming to kill them.
Groups call out Lee Greenwood's 'hateful speech' at Albany 4th of July concertdemocratherald.com He said: "The only thing we hope for is that we can stop illegal immigration. Because the people who are coming through are coming through to kill you."

If you're wondering why Bluesky uses "AI" as part of its content moderation, this thread is a useful one.
Image classifiers detect the worst content that needs to be gone (and humans then review the content given the labels in the most severe categories to see the context it was posted in and whether it needs to be removed entirely). But they also can't tell context.

Northwestern's law school faculty is nearly 80 percent white and over 80 percent male Naturally the law school is being sued by some jabronis who think white guys aren't getting a fair shake in faculty hiring I wrote about it! ballsandstrikes.org/legal-cultur...

Farmers are getting infected with bird flu because they are working in 104 degree heat without masks and other PPE. The is why labor justice must be a key part of the solution for both climate change and pandemics.

I love the phrase “climate alarmism,” like you’re just supposed to stay calm when the Miami waters rise too high for you to drive in again.

My favorite is the plan to downsize NOAA's Oceanic and Atmospheric Research because they do theoretical science instead of applied science and are "the source of much of NOAA’s climate alarmism." p 676. I guess the good news is, the longer it goes on, the more "applied" the climate crisis becomes.

gotta love how contemporary publishing is 30000000 beautiful, deeply felt, finely crafted books with 7.5 readers each whose authors are just barely making a living, and like 4 books that financially support the whole apparatus, each of which has comprehensively and unforgivably destroyed society

Musing on Vance as the VP choice for Trump, and on his drastically shifted rhetoric over the past eight years… which reaffirms an observation that perhaps the most impactful dynamic of the last decade isn’t the top-down radicalization of the electorate, but the bottom-up radicalization of “elites”.

Fascinating. "...the government affirms that climate change is real, that it’s destroying God’s work and that those in the world who reject the truth of climate change need to get on board. The Taliban has asked imams...to emphasize during Friday prayers the need for environmental protection.
