Has *anyone* in US media done any reckoning or self-reflection about the fact that they got caught up in a bogus moral panic driven by big retailers? Will anyone do anything differently the next time around?
Column: How the retail lobby sold a $45-billion whopper about organized shoplifting
Politicians and the press bought into the panic over organized shoplifting, but the source of the alarming statistic now admits that it was a lie.

You can say Substack should host Nazis, but don't pretend there's some "free speech" principle to it. Substack has a strict ban on pornography. Welcoming Nazis while banning sex workers isn't a principled stand, it's a choice, an expression that you like the former and dislike the latter.

This is actually a decent analogy because the drivers have all the power and the numbers and sometimes just straight up murder them but still whine about how they’re the victims
do you ever read a phrase like “big bicycle are the trans people of traffic” and have your eyes roll so far back into your skull you can see your own brains

Did someone say something about the migration of imperial violence from the periphery to the metropole www.nytimes.com/2023/11/11/u...
Army Ammunition Plant Is Tied to Mass Shootings Across the U.S.
The site was built for the military, but commercial sales are booming with little public accountability. Rounds have been bought by murderers, antigovernment groups and others.

we fixed acid rain! we fixed the ozone layer! we beat polio! we’ve rescued scores of species from the brink of extinction! the despair many of us feel about climate change isn’t that it’s too big to fix. it’s that we know it is fixable but we’re being thwarted by greedy ghouls at every turn.
The other day I was like “you know something we heard a lot about as kids was acid rain, why don’t we hear about it anymore”
TURNS OUT we fixed it???

This math doesn’t math. The idea that AI is “cheap” and humans are “expensive” is only happening because AI is getting massively bankrolled.
