The asymmetry of the value placed on human life is so striking. Israel has a goal to recover 40-year-old remains; to do so, it invades a sovereign country, and the lives of 26 Lebanese are an afterthought. Their names not even worth printing in the New York Times.
Seems like it can be on both
How different is this really than “guns don’t kill people, people kill people”
When people say “Housing First”, it generally implies those policies accompany the housing. The idea is that you can’t precondition housing, not that those services aren’t also essential
Screenshot from the article linked in the post reading as follows: The FBI’s search of the family home turned up nothing to substantiate those allegations. What they did find, however, was Hemani’s gun. Hemani also admitted to the agents he had roughly two ounces of weed in the house, and consumes marijuana “about every other day.” This is unremarkable: Millions of Americans own a gun, and millions of Americans use marijuana. But technically, the federal Gun Control Act of 1968 makes it illegal for any person “who is an unlawful user of or addicted to” certain controlled substances, including marijuana, to possess a gun. So in February 2023, federal prosecutors charged Hemani with a felony, and held him in pre-trial detention for seven months.
Much about the 'would the Framers be ok with gun rights for weed smokers' case is v funny but there is a serious part that hasn't gotten much attention
The govt targeted this Muslim family, hit dude w/ these goofy charges, & detained him for months before trial

Yeah that’s just war crimes bra
FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?
Tomorrow: we invade UK, call it a 250 year war
Delusional is generous
I promise you that the government that murdered Alex Pretti and Renee Good does not give a flying fuck about the protests in Iran.
What’s the word preemptive doing for ya bud
AIs can’t stop recommending nuclear strikes in war game simulations
Leading AIs from OpenAI, Anthropic and Google opted to use nuclear weapons in simulated war games in 95 per cent of cases

You don’t need to print lies, you know
This is disturbing. The Chief Justice of the MN Supreme Ct met with Homan, worked out an agreement, and never announced it publicly. ICE appeared to violate it days later by violently tackling a person in the Gov Center w/out a judicial warrant. We need transparency.
New TCW
Good god we hear this argument endlessly. It’s not a big question, it’s a dumb one
Need Anti-AI-Proliferation treaties
Uhhhhhhhh, in 2016 you say
“Let’s spend several years switching to cars that will be obsolete in several years” is not good resource allocation”
Was one of dad’s favorite books and I and all my brother’s read it and loved it as well. Few books like that (A River Runs Through It being the other)
China's takin' over the world, T. They already got Chinese New Year's, next it'll be Chinese Columbus Day.
Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social
Fordham law specifically has good benefits and programs for veterans, this is insane
Sued Rye, demanded Bourbon
Trash
This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.
I always think of Steph’s “window” as a window where he is a No 1 (ie, the two years you always talk about). Could you see him have a *subsequent* window as more of a No 2 or No 3, and what would that look like? Can you think of any examples of clear stars smoothly transitioning down like that?
That’s great. Though I’m not sure 3 GOPers a revolt makes
That ain’t a “study” that’s so stupid it’s gotta be an answer to an AI prompt
Imagine submitting this as “analysis” in a class…your teacher would assume you hadn’t watched it
