The police insist they need astronomical sums of money and complete immunity from any harm they cause in order to be ready to protect us and then half the time they just decide they’d prefer not to?
They waited *more than an hour* to enter the Hortman home after watching Mark Hortman get shot in the doorway
Unbelievably tragic & heartbreaking
And, of course, they publicly congratulated themselves on a great, lifesaving police response when they’d let a lawmaker bleed out. Uvalde is everywhere

New details about police activity after lawmaker shootings raise questions about response
The Minnesota Star Tribune found that Brooklyn Park police waited more than 60 minutes to enter the Hortman home and that several law enforcement agencies were unaware of the situation for hours.

Let's do basic math: 12 meals-ready-to-eat per case. 48 cases per pallet. That's 576 meals per pallet. Say you gotta feed a million people, three meals a day. One pallet will feed 192 people per day. To feed a million people, you'd have to airdrop 5,208 pallets per day. Like come on. This is stupid.
Israel will allow foreign countries to airdrop aid into Gaza, an Israeli security source says, as the country faces mounting backlash over a spiraling hunger crisis in the Palestinian enclave.
Israel says it will let foreign countries drop aid into Gaza as hunger crisis spirals
Airdrops into Gaza have previously been criticized as insufficient and impractical. The United Nations has called for an urgent ceasefire, though talks appeared Friday to have collapsed.

And one final thought: Ozzy going out after giving an emotional final performance that raised a ton of money for charity is more spiritually uplifting and did more genuine good than anything any televangelist and religious grifter who railed against him ever did combined.

My time in public media me a better journalist. I’m proud of the work I did and that my former colleagues continue to do. Congress and the president are taking a sledgehammer to the First Amendment because a free press is autocracy’s kryptonite. I won’t stand for it and you shouldn’t either.

With severe weather events, like tornadoes and floods, expected to increase as the world warms (human-caused or not, it’s warming, y’all), cutting any funding that helps us understand and predict these disasters isn’t just shortsighted. It’s dangerous. 🌪️🌊

The New York Times reports Jonathan Braun—a violent felon with ties to Jared Kushner, whose sentence Trump commuted—has been sent back to prison after new charges, including assaulting a 3-year-old. In court, he ranted about his lawyer and flipped off spectators. His fifth arrest.

Again, I’d like to encourage the people who think it’s a good idea to embrace a cruel and capricious dictatorship, while making it clear no legal or legislative authority can stop them from ruining ordinary people’s lives, to keep on reading to see what usually happens next.

"At any decision point, the GOP will behave in a way that is dumber & meaner than expected" is the only heuristic that has never led me wrong in US politics. People think I'm joking or exaggerating for rhetorical effect when I say that, but I'm dead serious. I can't think of an exception.

"I was wrong" is the only mea culpa I will accept from any flag-flying, red hat-wearing maga. Ever. Maybe get a giant-ass flag that says "I was wrong, I'm an idiot" to replace your stupid Trump 2020 flag.

It is a little weird to me countries aren’t more aggressively, formally trying to take advantage of the U.S. science brain drain. Once in a lifetime opportunity to buy low on Non-Dumbass Americans with PhDs who just wanna look into microscopes and quietly cure ass cancer as our country eats shit.

You can go to the grocery store for year-round fresh produce and a variety of food to safely feed your children who did not die in infancy.
Your ancestors would SLAP YOU for suggesting something is wrong with that.

Everything we have now is a miracle of science and collective action to make the world safer, born from centuries of dead children. None of this happened in a vacuum--this was so much work, so much death and suffering, all to give society this absolute fucking gift.

On the other hand, pro-AI people talk about it like they’re trying to unload a shitty used car. “Does it always work right? Absolutely not! Do you need to take extra annoying steps to receive worse results? Of course! But that’s the real beauty of it…”
Some of the anti-AI stuff feels a bit like when people would say "don't use Wikipedia as a source." It's just like anything else, a piece of information that you weigh against multiple sources and your own understanding of its likely failure modes

your reminder that the Biden administration tried to reunite deported parents with the children who had been ripped out of their arms and disappeared into camps by Donny Fuckface's ICE goons during his first term, and in many cases they couldn't because ICE didn't bother to keep any paperwork

Vance's Easter visit to Rome clogged its streets with a 40-vehicle entourage. He also demanded the Coliseum be closed so he and his family could tour it alone. Tourists who properly booked slots in advance got screwed.
He's apparently the first to make that demand. Then he didn't bother to show up.
