Criminalizing Homelessness Can Lead to More Crime
As cities step up their enforcement efforts in the wake of a Supreme Court ruling, they should consider both the financial costs and the public safety ramifications of treating homelessness as a crime...

Criminalizing homelessness is profitable for the prison industry, but very expensive - monetarily and socially - for the public. www.governing.com/urban/crimin...

I think this is on the nose. When we say "listen to Black people" we mean "give the same weight and consideration to what Black people say as you would to a white person talking about their view & experience, instead of treating us like ignorant, naive, or unreliable narrators of our own lives".
I think when Black folks say it, it means something very different from when White folks do. In the former we usually mean "don't discount Black experiences as untrue or inaccurate" and in the latter... yeah. It's magical negro thinking.

Hmmm this would explain a lot. A LOT.
A thought today to reply-guys around Black folks like Jamelle and Tressie: I truly believe some of it grows out of a certain subset of White people who heard "listen to Black people" and so began treating platformed Black folks as gurus, and every observation shared as a judgment on their lives.

It's also making a claim that if you criticize Trump someone will murder you, which is also a lot of things worth discussing, but I don't want to.
Trump's response to Rob Reiner's murder is madness.

I don't think it's coincidental that there is a massive push to elevate AI at the same time that there is a massive push to devalue human lives. Poverty is created through economic choices that benefit the rich, and the poor are being treated like they are disposable, replaceable with machines.

It's not going to happen, and begging isn't going to make it happen. Musk killed Twitter, X sucks, it's less cool than Facebook and less useful than LinkedIn. Too bad but they can't unring the bell. The social media giants are collapsing, and nothing's going to stop it.
Elon's little serfs are quite literally begging journalists to come back because every publicly available source of data shows people have fled the platform and young people won't use it.
They are literally begging regular people to come back. Don't do it! It is a website by and for actual Nazis!

Ideas are the easy part!
It's doing the work that's the hard part, and the thing about actual people doing the work is that the work of people is unique, idiosyncratic, distinct. Individual people have individual voices shaped and colored by their unique experience sets. AI smooths that out.

my favorite thing about the benoit blanc movies is that they aren't really about benoit blanc. he is not grappling with demons from his past. we are not getting flashbacks to the husband whose murder he never solved. he just shows up and does his job like mary poppins for homicides
