Wow, who could have seen this coming? Thank god college football is clean and not corrupt at every level and now existing only to spread the cash around to 100 different competing interests. Something like that could ruin it

But when the future does kickstart again, let’s us white guys shut our mouths for awhile and listen to what everyone else has been trying to tell us. And that means all of us. We tend to take too much air out of the room

Oof… yeah, that line is uncrossable now. All the nuance I previously imagined is not there. There is no future and no past, only what is happening in this moment.

A lot of these guys didn’t get to start bullying people until they got the green light to walk the streets with a gun, impunity, and a definitely super badass vest. They finally get a chance to direct their self-loathing outward. Most of these men have always been absolute cowards

Look, I’m all about abolish policing completely. But right now I’ll take what we can get as long as it’s clear it’s only a first step, and not “paper tiger” reform that results in coming right back to where we are now

The real or feigned shock functions as a defense for the state. As if these actions lay outside of normal practices and it’s just the “bad people” running the state. Once the “good” people get in it will be ok.

Just curious
Has anyone read C. Doctorow fiction and thought: “wow, these characters have real depth.” Or even: “wow, these characters are quite likable and not at all the wet dream liberal caricature of a closeted conservative mind!”
Ah, to be white and quirky in America.

How about this: the concept of Enshittification is a capitalist fever dream that serves to reinforce the idea that corporations can act as gods of only the damn govt-dictated market would get out of the way. Tbc, I am saying the Great One who brought us the concept is a shit cartoon villain.

As bad as this is, people are missing the actual depth of this issue. Elon loves all the focus on bikini images while he piles up something much, much, much worse:

The naive hubris of this comment is impressive. Your attitude here does way more to support and excuse the system that creates the conditions in which rape and injustice are both possible and permitted than your single vote does to mitigate those conditions.You're an arrogant fool enabling it.

Man, you really don’t get it. You are making this a two-sided political game. Step outside your myopic world-view and think beyond yourself and your “side.” You don’t give a shit about the people being seriously harmed by this administration. Your response here betrays your performative facade.

Jesus dude. You feel the right to minimize the trauma of others because you judge them to be stupid, and then hit back with this dumb ass comment when you get called out? You’re a gem

I was already thinking it’s fucked up to prioritize gloating of a pyrrhic political “win” over the actual horrifying thing that happened, but then I read the comments and was reminded of how shallow people are. People here hate Trump, but lack introspection and understanding, to say the least

NPR started the descent years ago. Local radio is commendable, but the national offices are, and have been, soft propaganda for corporate power since sometime in the Bush Jr era.

Correct. Producing propaganda, er, journalism, is a lot of work and those poor souls need to eat.
