When you pirate one movie, it’s a crime

When you pirate all the movies, it’s innovation

‘Piracy Is Not A Victimless Crime’ warnings on blu-rays hit a little different in the era of AI

Horrific. A 50-year old black man had a stroke & was confused from it. Cops didn’t want to “waste time” doing a thorough evaluation for a medical emergency, assumed it was drugs, & simply threw him in jail. He died

A tragic example of the cruelty of structural racism

Anne Frank and Underground Railroad analogies write themselves.

All these bastards should be building up their bench and finding proteges

ok I finally caught up on the Argentine credit swap deal and lol. lmao even

🎶thread🎶 (as the kids say) on riot-control agents.

The Atlantic, the NYT, the Post, the Free Press, Persuasion ... god, so many others ... they did it. They participated in the destruction of norms against bigotry & now bigotry is running rampant, out in the open, at the highest levels.

Great work everyone.

WATCH: ‘Portland Frog’ pepper balled by ICE agents

the people who told us to calm down because Roe was settled law are the same people now telling us to calm down because the military would never open fire on Americans

George Orwell’s Animal Crossing

Cops misled journalists about using a powerful surveillance tool to track a woman across state lines because she had an abortion, then tried to cover it up when we found out the truth. Huge story from @jasonkoebler.bsky.social and @josephcox.bsky.social this morning: www.404media.co/police-said-...

BREAKING: Apple removed an app for preserving TikToks, Instagram reels, news reports, and videos documenting abuses by ICE

Ubisoft: "Okay, so in this game you fight the Klan"
Marketers: "You can't sell that in America"
Ubisoft: "Why?"
Marketers: "Umm [gestures broadly]. The Klan fucking won?"
Ubisoft: "Merde."
Marketers: "Yeah, we've asked for the Statue back but they're being dicks about that too."

I don't think we'll ever get another sentence which sums up everything the New York Times embodies quite like "Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians".

Those influencing Trump education policy aren't shy about wanting to eradicate public schools.

Asked what % of kids she imagines should be in public schools, Tiffany Justice -- Moms for Liberty cofounder, now with Heritage Foundation -- told @propublica.org

“I hope zero. I hope to get to zero.”

This South Side Weekly report on the Chicago building raid is well worth reading. Most striking to me are the indications of collusion between federal authorities and the building owner and management to effect a mass eviction at the blighted property. southsideweekly.com/federal-agen...

You cannot be fucking serious

mascots outside of protests: off-putting, scary. there is a grown man inside of there.

mascots at protests: cool and funny, there is a friend inside of there.

I am once again asking why these data centers are all fucking SECRETS

"A controversial plan to build a 2.2-million-square-foot data center on farmland may still happen. A rural community... is looking to settle a lawsuit recently filed by a development firm working for an unidentified tech giant."

there is no way to put something on the internet without it being scraped

For every GOP org (other than media) there’s usually a center left one. The problem is execution not resources.

Pritzker is everything Newsom wants you to believe Newsom is, including both actually brave and seemingly in possession of an actually beating human heart.
