Can doctors claim a privacy violation because RateMDs creates profiles and ranks them without consent? The BC Court of Appeal says no. Civil #privacy claims require information that’s really “private”. New on my YouTube channel: youtu.be/AqmvwTs0qAA

ACAB and Defund The Police -- the two most destructive messaging efforts from sloganeers who don't actually want to fix a fucking thing and will, at every opportunity, alienate the entire electorate from actual police reform for the sheer pleasure of their own self-regarding purities.
Eat a dick.

Okay but ACAB includes David Simon.
Hard, fast rule from a veteran police reporter: Excepting anyone engaged in infiltrating a criminal conspiracy in an undercover capacity, any law officer who hides his identity from the public is a shitheel is doing vile shit and is, in fact, actively destroying the credibility of law enforcement.

At some point large portions of the US were brainwashed into believing that owning a single family home is the ultimate symbol of success, and cars are the greatest form of freedom. Never really recovered from that, probably never will.

I've had to explain to way too many Americans that LA isn't unwalkable because it's too big, it's too big because it's unwalkable. Half the city is parking lots or roads to get to parking lots. Rest is zoned for single family homes. The only problem that's unique to the US is hyperindividualism.

dodger stadium's 16,000-spot parking lot is so huge, it could fit ~10 more dodger stadiums in its place. a monument to socal's asphalt addiction more than to baseball.
meanwhile in toronto, an actual walkable, bustling city exists around the stadium

When ICE comes to Philly it’s going to be brutal
Portland resists with whimsical improv theater, Chicago resists by screaming at weird jagoffs that don’t belong in the neighborhood. Every city brings its own strengths to the fight
The energy we need is this suburban dad standing out in the street -- barefoot with Blackhawks pajama pants on -- screaming at the masked goons to get the fuck out of their neighborhood.
