Do lesbians face discrimination in the United States? On the one hand, Renée Good was murdered. On the other hand, I am highly paid to relativize such crimes.

maybe the ai companies should have shipped a product that works
The latest Duke CFO survey shows that the vast majority of CFOs are seeing no impact from AI on labor productivity, decision-making speed, customer satisfaction, or time spent on high-value-added tasks

UCLA alum and former employee here. You have to reserve this particular track and field area on campus. That means the University of California, which is an agency of the CA state government, let Pete Hegseth use public property to make a propaganda video about how he doesn’t know how KBs work
Hegseth had cameras recording him working out with recruits today at UCLA

The ideological cover given by Gun Guys is that the guns are there to protect citizens from a tyrannical government but the truth has always been that the guns are there to allow white people to segregate themselves away from Native Americans and Black people. E.g. the St. Louis mansion couple

I am not averse to long films if the time behooves the material and the pacing is correct but every movie these days is 28 minutes longer than the material calls for and makes you very aware of that fact

i’m taking on a new personal project this month. i’ve just collected a large collection of 35mm film negatives of black american life in the 1970s and 1980s and am going to begin digitizing them into an archive of their own.
i’ll write about my progress here.

Welcome to Minnesota, fuckers. Also this is super disturbing because the ICE agent's assault rifle appears to fire as he falls down.
This was filmed by a friend near Chicago and Lake last night.

they really do not have enough guys!!
So to return to this: Mussolini had 200,000 blackshirts for the March on Rome in a country of ~35m. Hitler had 400,000 brownshirts in 1932 in Germany for a population of ~60m.
So around 0.6% of the population.
0.6% of 340m Americans is just over 2 million.
They do not have enough goons.

In 1932, on the eve of seizing power, the Nazi goon army - the Sturmabteiling or SA - numbered 400,000 members. By 1933, it was over two *million.*
DHS has 240,00 employees and lot of those are non-goons who have, you know, real jobs.
