It seems Luigi gave them the perfect way to establish blame for any and all gun violence: all bullets now come with a political affiliation literally written on them.

Não seria o momento de tentar consolidar uma noção de que o problema é o Legislativo, que é preciso um Legislativo completamente diferente?
Um sentimento anti-establishment que não seja voltado nem à figura deste ou daquele presidente, nem de juízes, mas do Legislativo?

It's crazy that everyone with any sense is seeing a clear trend towards something worse than fascism in an unprecedented scale, and yet we can't seem to organise ourselves to do anything about it.

If people read this as sugarcoating it's on them, though.
Obviously treating the State's capital as private property and declaring a state of emergency amount pretty much to the same in juridico-political terms.

Grossly irresponsible of the Times to have this ludicrous credulous spin as the top story the morning after a president who rules by fiat proclaims a totally specious emergency to militarize the capital - an editorial insult to our intelligence and our democracy.

My impression from the AI news I get online is that this whole industry is orienting itself around future predictions voiced by AI CEOs, who seem to be seen as sages of some kind.
Doesn't the obvious fact that these people HAVE STAKES in what they are predicting bother anyone?

Right-wingers are saying the "great genes" ad is just a normal ad. Left-wingers saying its purpose is to advance racist ideology and that it should be critiqued or suffer "backlash" for that. Both seem to ignore the obvious fact that the ad exists because it predicts and surfs these reactions.
