the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches

Failed Waymo robot blocking emergency services during a widespread emergency:

I've been warning about this scenario for ~7 yrs. Safety drivers fix this in seconds. SFPD will prob have to drive this out of the way.

San Francisco famously has never had a significant earthquake, so surely Waymo has no need to consider the public safety impacts in a major disaster.

He makes so much more sense if you view him as a degenerate aristocrat who started with romantic takes on Nature and swiftly moved to eugenics. European history and literature is stuffed with such picturesque ghouls and their consequences are usually bad.
the nuzzi story is fun and all but at the center of it is the elevation of a man who has dedicated his life to making children catch preventable diseases to a position where he can enact harm at enormous scale
CDC has overhauled its website to assert that “the claim ‘vaccines do not cause autism’ is not an evidence-based claim”

Fuck Donald trump indeed
I've voted in California all of my life and this is the simplest election I've ever seen. Usually you have a half dozen abstruse ballot measures, bonds, and obscure offices.
But not now. This time, just one question: fuck Donald Trump, or not? And overwhelmingly voters say fuck Donald Trump.

The Americanists in my PhD program used to joke that their entire subfield of political science could be summarized as "we haven't really learned anything distinctly American about politics since Tocqueville."
In this case, see Democracy in America, Chapter XVI, Part I.

It remains impressive to me that the overwhelming majority of American lawyers (and an almost 100% rate of the intellectually accomplished lawyers) just cannot bring themselves to serve as apologists or enablers of fascism.
Score another big win for Tocqueville.*

The U.S. Justice Department unit charged with defending against legal challenges to signature Trump administration policies - such as restricting birthright citizenship and slashing funding to Harvard University - has lost nearly two-thirds of its staff, according to a list seen by Reuters.

Hi! Former VC lawyer and certified political economist here.
This is 100% true - university research subsidized by the federal gov't is directly or indirectly the foundation of most tech startups.
Destroy the federal funding or the universities and it all falls apart.

Silicon Valley VCs sit atop a system where federal and state governments spent more on basic research of all kinds than most other countries in the world combined, and then take the ideas that come out of that and take it the last mile. An important function, but they disproportionately benefit.
