Quotas are a terrible way to measure effectiveness of law enforcement by putting quantity over quality. They compromise professional standards and move priorities from most dangerous offenders to low-hanging fruit.

Trump officials issue quotas to ICE officers to ramp up arrests
An ICE official said the agency’s list of criminal suspects was sufficiently long that officers would be able to continue prioritizing public safety and national security threats to meet quotas.

People are often surprised when I tell them this: both Twitter and Facebook/insta/threads are now specifically engineered to downgrade, hide, suppress real journalism. If this platform is different, that's a huge change
Traffic from Bluesky to @bostonglobe.com is already 3x that of Threads, and we are seeing 4.5x the conversions to paying digital subscribers.

I feel like videogames actually do provide a pretty accurate representation of real life right now because a lot of videogames are like “THE WORLD IS ENDING” and then you just collect herbs and pretend nothing is wrong
