One of the great failures of contemporary political news coverage in a lot of media is the unspoken principle that no violation of norms or decency by Trump is really news, worthy of sustained attention, unless it also upsets people who love him. It isn't "not taking the bait"; it's sleepwalking.

The conservatives going after Trump’s statement haven’t forgotten who he is or have different feelings now than they did when they supported him, they’re just seizing a smoother exit from a sinking ship

This is old but feels relevant again: people can use social media in whatever way they like, stop complaining that they're doing it wrong.

Part of the Chanukah tradition is to place the light menorah either outside or in a window where outsiders can see it. This is supposed to advertise the miracle of Chanukah. These days, it is also a way of saying, “This is a Jewish home.”
Every year I think about how it is also an act of bravery.

there’s a large portion of people somehow posting about how this made them more islamiphobic which to me implies they endorse the shooting
So there is already an ai-generated whitewashing campaign to bury the name of the Muslim man, Ahmed al Ahmed, who disarmed one of the Bondi Beach shooters, and replace his identity with a white guy name and that’s why even a thimble of our potable water powering this tech is too fucking much.

Related: One of the most interesting parts of being in a Waymo is you watch other drivers absolutely rage at it because it generally obeys every speed limit and traffic law, and this pisses off so many drivers who are used to being able to pressure other people into going faster.
In both cases part of the disconnect is people getting ticketed for behavior that regular cops wouldn’t cite. I’ve gotten a camera ticket for stopping before the crosswalk but not before the white line. No cop would issue a ticket. Same for going 10 over if it matches prevailing speed.
