The color contrast almost gives it the same energy as the Better Call Saul poster with the red jacket.

It's like the malabar front in 1984, It's not about what's actually happening It's about creating an identity through social engineering, making an attack on the ideology an attack on your idea of your place in the world.

There are a lot of rich and powerful men trying to see how much of the system they can bend to their will and they will not stop until prison or violence stops them.

I'm happy that some people are realizing the damage this is doing; however I'll hold my celebration until it has some real world consequences for these people.

That's the issue with all products and services being permissible only by service agreement.

You're always at the whims of the provider and as they start to implement more AI oversight the chances of a clerical error causing major disruptions in your workflow is a risk worth considering.

This is the most open modern America is capable of being about genders

Vehicles are getting way too big on average, I mean the F150 is North America's best selling vehicle (*edit: I have since learned as of 2024 that spot actually belongs to the RAV4) since forever. It's a problem of misaligned incentives.

There's an exception carved out for large vehicles in the EPA guidelines that hold them to less stringent emissions standards which incentivizes building larger vehicles 1

Large cars are also incentivized by our crash safety rating system which only takes into account the mortality rate of those inside the car as apposed to average related fatalities. This means it will prioritize safety of those in the vehicle, which has led to our average fatalities increasing. 2

As an unintended side effect this also damages roads much faster because vehicle weight per axle determines the magnitude of the damage a vehicle does to the road. 3 anecdotally this makes me concerned for the additional weight that electric cars add.

Also as vehicles increase in weight the amount of microplastics put into the air as a by product of tire wear increase. 4

As cars increase in size (and therefore weight) the downsides are exponential.

Don't worry, you also get issue reports were the user didn't read the start guide or document any of the steps to reproduce the issue.

They knew the truth.

I wish the average voting populace was smart enough to understand that the Republicans were literally using starving children as leverage to cut their healthcare.

Getting pretty nervous that it really was the last election that mattered friends.

TL;DR:

The DOJ charged Democratic Rep. LaMonica McIver with "assaulting" an ICE agent after she tried to visit a detention center in her district.

Footage shows ICE agents were the aggressors during McIver’s visit.

The charges are politically motivated and part of a broader pattern of Trump targeting opposition figures (especially Black Democrats) who challenge his policies.

The media’s coverage has been extremely soft on criticism for these alarming abuses of executive power, but this is nothing new to those of us who have seen the news in the last 12 years.
