Look, broadly speaking, I'm pro automated vehicles. When the tech is ready, there are many use cases & goodness knows human drivers are dangerous. But it's bonkers to me that companies get to treat our streets as test beds, and us as test subjects, without our consent.

I honestly believe yall don’t know how human engagement works.
No, normative judgements about a stranger’s relations — they’re weird! — isn’t the same. It’s also not normal or pro-social. If you did it to me in person, I would hit you. Possibly metaphorically. Possibly not.

wasn’t that just anecdotal evidence that differed from yours? How is that anything but ”normal engagement “?

I continue to think that Matty coming out against birthright citizenship a few months ago should have been taken as a major warning sign that the group chats have already decided to surrender on this.

The states should also defy it, not only on principle but because it's literally impossible, our vital records system simply does not even contain the information needed to know if anybody is or isn't in the categories Trump made up in his decree.
I feel like if the Court tries to nullify birthright citizenship then House Democrats should commit to impeaching all the Republican justices as soon as they get a majority. Even if the Senate won’t convict, make them make a spectacle out of it.

One more thought about this which is that if the Court attempts to nullify the entirety of the Fourteenth Amendment then I think the liberal justices should also resign and publicly acknowledge that the Court is now wholly illegitimate.

If nothing else this would dramatize for the public the fact that the Supreme Court is now little more than an arm of the Republican Party.

They are running the government according to the logic of right-wing grievance media. I cannot emphasize that enough. The point is to create content, and they don't see an actual difference between dunking on Sabrina Carpenter, passing legislation, and bombing other countries.
I don't really know what the administration hopes to gain by picking fights with the most well-liked pop artists in the United States. You're just generating backlash for no discernible reason outside of owning the libs.
Sabrina Carpenter ratioed the White House after it used her song in an ICE video.
The WH deleted the post…but now it’s back with a new ICE video, this time using an altered clip from Carpenter’s SNL monologue.

Apart from the strangeness of the language - "non-biological people" sounds like a woke term for AIs in Black Mirror - this makes clear that Baroness Falkner came into her job at the EHRC believing that the net amount of human rights in the UK was too high, and that her job was to lower that amount.
