"The Maltese Falcon" era of San Francisco is officially now more dangerous than the version today which makes every tech investor want to invent Robocop
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.

Section 230 is what enables DNSBLs to exist. Do you hate spam? DNSBLs are a huge part of the puzzle. Without section 230, expect a lot more spam.
It’s very simple. Genuinely very simple. Until Section 230, it was the case that any website that allowed a user to publish any content of any kind could be sued if they said *anything* libelous or bad. That includes web hosts, blogging platforms, social media etc.

“One” is doing a lot of work here. “One” must only carry papers under the law if “One” is *not* a citizen. He is saying that they will presume you’re not a citizen, always, which is not how the law works under our constitution.

It takes 0.04 liters of water to make a single AI image. Meanwhile, it takes 5 liters to make a single piece of paper, and presumably even more when you add a pencil to it.

Senator Kelly is correct.
Plus a Public Service Announcement:
KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.
The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

Out of curiosity I decided to try and run the numbers on how much Netflix you can watch for the energy cost of a ChatGPT prompt
As far as I can tell it's between 5.1 and 10.2 seconds, depending on which end of the 2019 IEA Netflix energy usage estimate you use

Why does Donald Trump never stand up any more? Short press conference? Seated. Photo op for the cronies? Seated. Wtf?? No one in the press asking why he’s seated behind a folding card table with a $1.99 tablecloth and they’re behind a velvet rope 30 feet back? Is this related to the MRI results?

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

The best part of this is when they zoom in and there’s an unironic quote from Parker Posey’s character from white lotus as intro to the description of the trip.

…and now you’re facing retirement and lower income and can’t afford the mortgage and have to sell but have no equity. Yay.
Trump‘s brilliant plan of 50 year mortgages means that after your first 20 years making huge interest payments to a bank you will have paid down almost none of the principal and they will still own the house you are living in with 30 years to go. A scam from a career con man.

You know, cities, even if CBP and ICE agents will later in court be found to have “immunity” that doesn’t mean you can’t arrest them and force them through the process while holding them in jail for kidnapping/assault/civil rights violations/etc.
