Here’s a comment for the people who are upset that MN hasn’t charged Jonathan Ross already:
If you just Leeeroy Jenkins this shit you will lose and you will empower fascism and murder.
It is indescribably hard to prosecute cops for murder. It is even hard when the murder is ON VIDEO.

good that they got coverage away from the politics team (chronic bothsiders) and to visual investigations (consistently excellent)
The New York Times states it plainly in display type:

An analysis of footage from three camera angles shows that the motorist was driving away from — not toward — a federal officer when he opened fire.

A few years ago, a Texas man serving life in prison was struggling with a decision: Was it fair to get married to the woman he’d fallen in love with?
Nanon Williams feared “my chains becoming hers.”
He turned to a man he’d come to see as a father for advice:
Rob Reiner

He was sentenced to death. Rob and Michele Reiner loved him like a son.
Nanon Williams was sent to death row for a murder he says he didn't commit. Decades later, through daily emails and weekly prison calls, the Reiners became family.

The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

A lot of this was directed at online models and sex workers, which is deeply troubling as sex workers already face a disproportionately high risk of violence and homicide.
Several users expressly asked Grok to make women "look scared" in the sexualized images.

Excellent example of the press losing its way. News outlets once "comforted the afflicted, afflicted the comfortable." Now they work for billionaires and investors to mock beleaguered travelers packed like rats.

These declines are MASSIVE.
And the comparative silence in media coverage is absolutely DAMNING.
“Why are ppl always so afraid of crime?”
THIS is why. When crime goes up, media trips over itself to report it.
Falls to pre-war (!!) levels? Just CRICKETS.

I count 10 cities in 2025 that are on track to have the fewest murders since at least 1970. Newark is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1956 (though only have data through Oct this year) and San Francisco is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1942.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.
