Got Season 1 of #RizzoliAndIsles on in the background. It's been a long time since I watched the show, and seeing #LeeThompsonYoung is breaking my freaking heart.

One of the great AI-proof assessments I'm leaning more heavily on lately are primary source evaluations, but based on sources drawn directly from the archive rather than more popularly accessible ones ChatGP would likely be able to engage with. Happily, I've seen AI rates plummet accordingly.

From this AM's HCR:
"Even as government agents from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) ramp up their arrests and confrontations, the lug nuts on the wheels of the White House bus continue to loosen."
I do so love this woman's writing style.

Genuinely has anyone *ever* been owned so badly as a man who converts to a new religion as an adult and sorta makes it his whole thing only to see the literal head of that religion rebuke his entire deal and then they choose the NEXT head of the religion specifically because he doesn't like you

John Kelly is not a bleeding heart liberal. If he says “no dude really, I worked for the guy and he’s a fascist lunatic,” then I believe him.

I am loving the new series of @deathinparadise.bsky.social. (I watch via BritBox.) The current characters have only had the cute, adorkable, semi-broken Inspectors. They don't remember how very much Richard irritated the living daylights out of everyone on St. Marie. 😆

@bmorecitydot.bsky.social , y'all know you are my very favorite municipal department of transportation. But what the heck is going on with signals today? Some are out, some are flashing, and there are railroad warnings going off for no apparent reason!

This time was preceded by an era where big business literally owned your labor. Company towns, company stores, etc. the presidency was owned by big business from McKinley to FDR (minus Roosevelt & Taft yrs)
The fight it took to get to the golden era of the blue collar worker was just that, a fight

Absolutely. There was a time when you could graduate high school and essentially walk into a factory and be guaranteed a wage good enough to support a family and a pension after 20 years. That this isn’t the case anymore really is a big deal.
(Also, most of that greatness was due to unions.)

Just before I started first grade, I moved to a GM foundry town where the GM plant was in the process of closing. Sure, folks who worked there got new jobs (eventually). But these were folks who graduated high school and were able to immediately start a job where they made a family wage —>

If they’re comfortable killing other people, they will eventually be comfortable killing you.
You can learn that lesson the easy way or the hard way.

8 years ago today Philando Castile was murdered. The criminal legal system failed to convict the cop who shot him despite the recorded evidence. We had to watch that video live just 24 hours after we watched cops shoot Alton Sterling in the back.

Still pissed off at the moderators for not challenging Trump’s lies at the debate.
And by “the moderators” I mean the pundits and posters on here who haven’t mentioned any of those lies ever since because they’re now more obsessed with Biden’s age than the NYT was with her emails.
