i think most (not all) of the "you must vote for Newsom" people are just Newsom supporters who want him to win because they like him and his policies, not because they have high minded ideas about harm reduction.

I'm suing Cook County State's Attorney Eileen O'Neill Burke for appointment of a Special Prosecutor who will investigate and prosecute crimes committed by ICE and CBP agents during Operation Midway Blitz. Federal agents do not have immunity for plainly unlawful acts.

It doesn't explain his relationship to the rest of the human race but a big part of RFK Jr.'s broader damage is clearly trying to find out if he can die. I guess if I had lived a life like his and was somehow still around drinking out of puddles at 72 I'd have some questions on that as well.

A police chase reached 95 mph and carried on for eleven miles / nine minutes before ending in a wreck that killed a 55 year old woman
18 Aldermen just told her family to kick rocks instead of settling the case, so now it’s going to trial

The surprise rejection by a vote of 18 to 15 was the latest sign that an emboldened City Council fed up with the avalanche of settlements tied to allegations of police wrongdoing is no longer willing to rubber stamp those giant pay-outs.

I would say that anyone who hasn't used this stuff in the last month (and not just the free web apps) does not understand how rapidly the capabilities of generative ai is advancing, but Chris should know better than to try to have any kind of realistic conversation about this on this website
I understand why people are exhausted by AI hype, and why those of us squarely in the corner of "human dignity uber alles" see AI doomerism as self-serving hype, but I *really* think people on the left broadly need to start thinking seriously about the possibiltiy of the hype being...true.

It's messed up that my alma mater is putting up a statue of a basketball coach they fired over 25 years ago. Oh sure we don't have money to print the student paper or for foreign language programs but hey here's a donor who wants to fund a statue of the chair throwing jackass.

Loss of power is one of the only actions that evangelicals will recognize as “unfaithfulness” by trump
Why read past headlines: There was a flurry of excitement that evangelicals were turning on Trump over the Obama video.
But I lay out why there’s no reason to think they really care, beyond momentary embarrassment.

The MCA should respond by installing a Wesley Willis drawing of Comiskey Park
In what will likely be a major draw for the museum, the Art Institute of Chicago on Tuesday installed its first-ever Norman Rockwell painting, and it depicts the Chicago Cubs.
