I get why everyone else is focused on the brain worms of it all, but I'm still stuck on the guy who was campaigning about how he thought vaccines -> mercury -> autism (the worst possible thing) ate so many tuna fish sandwiches he gave himself mercury poisoning

the NYPD, aided by cable news, is trying to further push the “outside agitator” narrative at Columbia
the evidence?
a bike lock and chain
“this is not what students bring to school. this is what professionals bring to campuses.”

of all the “I would literally rather risk killing people than pay union workers” moves we’ve seen lately, this is the one which makes me most inclined to never leave the house again
A very scary lack of oversight: “safety advocates warn that with almost no federal regulation, it will be mainly up to the companies to decide when the semis are safe enough to operate without humans on board… Federal agencies lack authority to stop autonomous vehicles from going on the roads.”
Tractor-trailers with no one aboard? The future is near for self-driving trucks on US roads
Within three or four years, thousands of self-driving tractor-trailers are expected to travel on America’s highways.

I try to remember that whenever we talk about how much of a fucked up horror show the world is, what we mean is that the world is full of good people being wronged and beauty being destroyed, that we risk losing all of it—not a denial of the good in the world but its affirmation.

I sat down and tried to sum up the last week or so of campus protests. This is what I got.
The real rioters? Cops and college presidents.
The kids are alright. The adults are not.

The overlap of ‘Colonize Mars now’ and ‘staying indoors for two months to prevent a deadly infectious disease spreading was a completely intolerable infringement of my liberty’ is pretty funny.

Do not forget this. The Trump team's plan is to ban abortion using a law that people in the 1920s scoffed at as delusional and old-fashioned. Playwright George Bernard Shaw coined a term, "Comstockery," to describe foolish Puritanism. It was a popular insult. Let's bring it back. FUCK COMSTOCKERY
One of Trump's top lawyers has already said the plan is to stay quiet on abortion through the campaign—then use the Comstock Act to impose a nationwide abortion ban in 2025. Not only a ban on medication abortion, but ALL abortions, in all 50 states. www.nytimes.com/2024/02/17/u...
