Pardon power is not the problem. More people should be freed from this vicious system. Corruption and organized crime as governance are the problem. Shady pardons are just one symptom of the much larger clusterfuck we're in. If you zoom in too much on any detail as "the problem," you lose the plot.

i think it’s really cool that courts will decide shit in a good direction and then people will post on here like “see! the country isn’t over, we can stop him!” and then the next day the supreme court overturns the decision and also relegalizes slavery.

i know no one cares about this but i do think it's professional malpractice for historians to do public history where they assert that the bolsheviks overthrew the tsar

My employer, Dartmouth College, today boasts it's 1st Ivy "to launch AI at an institutional scale." It is doing this by partnering--"more than a collaboration"--with Anthropic, a company that stole the books of many faculty, me included, which many of us are suing.

After the recent joy of Hard Boiled in a packed theater it hit me that one of the tragedies of capitalism’s manifestation of our tech age is that on top of imprisoning us in gilded cages disconnected from shared reality, they are transforming communal experience into an expensive, uncommon novelty.
James Gunn says theatrical releases are “incredibly important” for DC after the Warner Bros & Netflix merger news

“The communal theatrical experience is something that is incredibly important & remarkably well suited to our big spectacle films”

I remember doing things with people.

Sadly, being disabled and immunocompromised in a world full of nasty shit nobody wants to fight makes me feel like those days have passed for me. It sucks. But ya know, I get it.

A lot of people on Twitter and Bluesky alike love to go "what about Sudan?" in response to pro Palestinian sentiment but in general if you're pro Palestine you're also far likelier to be anti UAE. See for example the senator below, who was the harshest critic in the Senate of both Biden and Trump.
The RSF just attacked a kindergarten, killing at least 33 children in Sudan.

Meanwhile, the Trump Admin. continues to sell arms to the UAE, who are aiding these atrocities.

Imagine if Trump spent as much time trying to stop the killing, as he did getting the UAE to invest in his crypto coin.
