Hell yes, I want to abolish the institution of policing in America. And you should too.
But that does not mean that there aren't laws and rules and people who could enforce them.

Um, I am responding to someone who absolutely, 100%, wants to abolish the police.
Is that what you want?

That's because people's imaginations are so limited, so thoroughly colonized, that they can't conceive of a world without policing.
More seriously, Io doesn't matter how good your slogan is if it is deployed in a context DETERMINED to make you into the enemy, into a threat, which is where we are.

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

it's not that I am simply so contrary that I reject opinions when they get too popular! it's that opinions that are fresh at first tend to calcify into the ugliest versions of themselves through repeated use. that's my take

There's a source of relief in videos like this. For so long we have had professionals who are afraid of calling out the idiocy of billionaires, because they view it as "unprofessional" to have opinions and ethics. And that's why communicators like @acollierastro.bsky.social are especially important

What we're not gonna do is give up on Texas. It is not a red state, it is a vote suppressed and gerrymandered state. Our job now in caring for each other is to find out how we can help get out the vote in Texas. I suggest following @andreagrimes.com

Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies. 🧪
