“The reason Trump didn’t apologize for the Obama post is because he is a small, petty, fragile man who cannot take responsibility for his own actions. And the second reason, frankly, is because he is a racist.”

Looking at X's new usage-based API pricing and seems like the actual point should be that they massively overestimated how much devs would pay for their old super expensive API pricing. To devs saying this will make them build for X again... why? Elon can change his mind next week.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”
What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

In this case, state agents are offered impunity from higher ups, and the legal system is rendered inoperative as a mode of accountability.

on the balance i think partisan gerrymandering is bad but the only way it ends is if democrats weaponize it against republicans everywhere they can. wiping out republican lawmakers in blue states might bring the GOP to the table to end the practice.
