2016 was the alarm that our media ecosystem was rotten. they have chosen to ignore this. i can't say i'm surprised in the least bit that this kinda shit is tolerated.
nuzzi / lizza misconduct imo enabled the destruction of so much public health & scientific research — and a resurgence in measles in the US. this is not petty tabloid gossip or inside baseball. that they went undetected or were rewarded while great reporters were laid off? it’s a huge system failure

In Vitale’s book, he writes: “The problem is not police training, police diversity, or police methods. The problem is the dramatic and unprecedented expansion and intensity of policing in the last 40 years, a fundamental shift in the role of police in society. The problem is policing itself.”

This is innumerate nonsense. An average of 1.1 million people were watching The Simpsons throughout its entire thirty-minute broadcast according to a third-party data company contracted to measure viewership by Disney. Somebody, no way to know who, hit the play button 1.7 million times on Twitter

They were pawns who got used
This is what trump wanted - keep antagonizing locals until he provoked violence
Why are we all sleep walking through this and dressing it up like they were on an honorable mission?

I’m praying for the two members of the National Guard shot in Washington, D.C. today and their loved ones. Violence of any kind, especially against those charged with keeping us safe, is unacceptable.

precisely my thought. the president and his dumbass republican allies put these men and women into harm’s way for a political stunt and look what has happened
Whether this was random street crime or targeted political violence, I think it was bad for the president to unnecessarily put the National Guard in harm’s way like this. They simply don’t need to be there.

doctor who makes 200K annual is VERY comfortable. That’s not wealth hoarding though lol
It’s Facebook and Amazon paying no taxes for the last decade, its being allowed to take out loans on unrealized gains in the hundreds of millions, capital gains tax lower than the tax rate of ppl who make 55k

Wow 80% bad-faith responses, and people lecturing the creator of Flask here and the creator of Django/datasette in the comments on why AI is useless for software engineering...
Is this platform still massively against AI or has it moved more towards acceptance?

This is also indirectly supporting the case for universal basic services.
Under neoliberalism, if you provide welfare only for the lowest earners, you create a mass of resentful and plundered workers right above the poverty line.
That's the infamous white working class that has moved to the GOP.

From my anecdotal experience, this is absolutely true
Police have access to massive surveillance networks that track the public whether they are suspects or not. That means probably for every 1 officer caught using the system to harass or spy on people they have feuds with, ex's, activists, journalists, there are probably 100 more we don't know about.
