I don't really understand how you can just get 547 tickets and not instantly end up in jail
J.K. Trotter@jktrotter
NEW: One of the most dangerous drivers in New York City is an NYPD cop on Staten Island. He’s gotten 547 school-zone speeding and red-light tickets in the past four years. The NYPD is refusing to intervene: nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/04/23/to-…

@St2station That is because the articles you are reading are not true.
The reason is plummeting birthrates.

Every wall of text about ‘Here’s What City X did to lower violent crime’ is just ‘They made crime illegal again and arrested the people doing it and threw the book at them, no matter how many of the perps happened to be POC.’
‘Criminology’ is about making that sound complicated.

@BrainLeakage03 I actually am wondering now if a lot of recent movies were written by AI. It would make sense in the context of the writers’ strike.

The blue-haired gender studies freaks in the Disney writers’ room: “It’s too hard to tell stories after the fall of the Empire. Let’s just bring them back under a different name.”

Brain Leakage@BrainLeakage03
A former Imperial black ops officer, modeled off Otto Skorzeny. He doesn’t much care who’s paying him. He’s in it for the challenge, the hunt, and the sheer love of the game. The New Repub gives him a budget, his pick of personnel, and an order. “Stop them, at any cost.” He picks the dregs, the criminals, and the expendables. He doesn’t care if they’re human or not. He wants beings with nothing to lose, and everything to gain. “We don’t exist,” he tells the recruits. “Not officially. We are not the Republic’s sword. We are her dagger in the night. And we are here to do what the Republic cannot.” STAR WARS: THE DEVIL YOU KNOW

@__FannyPack @rwlesq Low pay, they accepted. When the government shut down last year there was *no* pay for several weeks.
Only a weird billionaire stepping in to cover their paychecks resolved the issue.
English
@Snake_With_Feet @rwlesq this would be true if it wasnt a volunteer military... usually those things happen when service is forced on people and they feel like it's for nothing. volunteers already accepted the low pay and bad food in exchange for doing cool things with big guns

I really wish that America's bourgeoisie revolutionaries would think through the consequences should they be successful. The US, is, in fact, a pretty good place to live and (with certain notable exceptions) has been a net positive influence on the world. The US as a failed state would be a pretty shitty place to live and leave a damaging gap in the international order. And your imagined socialist utopia is just not going to happen.
Matthew Yglesias@mattyglesias
It also all seems incredibly fake, like he’s a comfortable Twitch streamer and niche internet celebrity not an underground revolutionary. God forbid people in the audience don’t get that it’s all a joke and actually head out and do crimes.
English
@rwlesq The question for you (and everyone in the bourgeoisie) is whether you want the effete intellectual revolutionaries to run the country, who you can perhaps badger into normalcy—
or whether you want a coup, which is where we are headed.
English
@rwlesq You have a lot more to fear from a military coup than you do from any “bourgeois revolutionaries.”
We already had a scare last year where the troops weren’t getting paid.
It will keep happening until the troops take matters into their own hands—and there’s your failed state.
English
@hellspatisserie This was invalidated at the circuit court level already. We will have to see what the higher court says.
IMO, they should’ve worded this better. I came in without having read the amendment text and was very confused.
English
@elephant_ben I believe they’re doing a bit of ethnic cleansing tho this time. I think they even said so.

Does Rhodes have such a thick skull that he dosen’t know Hezebelloh controlled parts of Lebanon?
Totally brain dead.
Ben Rhodes@brhodes
Destroying villages, killing journalists, looting property and occupying another country's sovereign territory doesn't exactly sound like "fighting Hezbollah"
English
@ByrneHobart NYT is pro democrat, and is aware some democrats are tough on crime, so it will sometimes write something tough on crime.
English
For all the complaints about left-leaning media bias, the NYT published a piece today that makes a pretty strong case for sentencing shoplifters to a minimum of twenty years of hard labor.
English
@TomlinsonCJ @strxwmxn Yes so for example there were greek speaking jews at alexandria.

Hebrew was not just “a liturgical language.” The Bible is not liturgy.

@strxwmxn @grok Can you read English? I acknowledged Hebrew was a liturgical language for the ancient Jews.

@parasociality Aang uses blood bending + avatar state to create a massive hivemind which he uses to increase production 1000-fold.
an industrial revolution occurs but everyone can only buy affordably from aangcorp

Dark Avatar sequel where Aang establishes a Tibetan-style absolute theocracy and plunges the world into a dark age.

@Snake_With_Feet @strxwmxn The term is a derivation of Judea from where the Jews come. Judaism being the religion of the people from Judea. It’s like you’re making an effort to be a retard.
English
@DawsonJed @peter_sarris It would have been historically accurate to call st. george “Asian,” and would have had the same provocative effect to a UK audience.
He’s just saying things that are wrong on purpose to bait engagement.
English
@peter_sarris Kev's a good journalist, I think he's using the 'Turkish-trope' rather than Cappadocian as it causes just the right amount of outrage!!!! 😂
He'll probably be sat in a pub garden now enjoying all the mirth 🏴🏴🍺🏴
English
Amazing how easy it is for someone trying to be ‘right on’ to actually end up being massively racist by just choosing to assume everyone from Asia Minor (ever) must be Turkish. A bit like calling Yasser Arafat Israeli.
Kevin Maguire@Kevin_Maguire
Today we celebrate a Turkish migrant worker who never set foot in England and in 2026 would probably be barred. Happy St George’s Day.

@gluva1989 @atlanticesque she has no assets, the only lender she can find is a sketchy guy who (as a security for consistent payments) has her sign a deed to him.
He explains he won’t record this deed if payments are made consistently. She fails to make payments consistently, he records, she cries foul.
English
@atlanticesque So whats happening then? Is he just making something up?
English
"Deed theft" is the new magic mantra. You should expect to start hearing it in the same breath as "redlining" and "racial covenants".
Peter Sterne@petersterne
Read @OsseChi's op-ed on the need to stop deed theft and enact a temporary eviction moratorium to prevent Black families from having their homes stolen: cityandstateny.com/opinion/2026/0…

@woke8yearold It’s for the best. if we were criticizing him that would make people like him more.

He’s right. I hadn’t thought of it but this probably explains some of elite Dem willingness to tolerate Hasan

@strxwmxn I’m really getting sick of retards making claims about anything Jewish to the people of an unbroken chain of Jewishness….

@AdinHaykin1 ??? Never heard that in my life. A third bedouin state?
English
Anti-Zionists always love to laugh at the Zionist "God promised this land 3,000 years ago" strawman
But at the same time they really believe that a handful of nomadic Bedouin tribes who arrived in the area in the 19th century have a full claim to the entire Negev, the Jordan Valley, the Judean Desert, huge parts of the Galilee... over 2/3 of the territory of "historical Palestine" because of some weird "blood and soil" racial Arab claim
English
@citrushemlock @atlanticesque I had thought it meant that the amendment would require a proposed map be “fair,” however that’s defined.
I was very surprised to find that by “fairness in the upcoming elections,” they meant each party gets to do a bit of gerrymandering if it so chooses. Which is hardly “fair.”
English
@atlanticesque I think 'to do xxx' is reasonably interpreted as a statement of intent rather than outcome. ballot questions often use this phrasing, even when the results are debatable, because it gives context for why it's being proposed, and I don't think there's a better way to do that
English
This looks like the key issue to me, that the text of the ballot question was “flagrantly misleading” to voters.
What do YOU 🫵 think? Is this question “flagrantly misleading”?
SCOTUS Wire@scotus_wire
🚨 A Virginia court has voided last night's constitutional amendment referendum on redistricting, ruling the amendment process unlawful and blocking certification of the election results.
English
@RatAlt64 @atlanticesque my thoughts looking at it were
(1) “they must still be hashing out the amendment text, and only asking what I think about the general concept.”
(2) “their amendment must include a ‘fairness’ requirement for proposed maps.”
(3) “Are they trying to do elections ahead of midterms?”
English
@atlanticesque I genuinely can't tell what's misleading about it. Says precisely what it's going to do, why it's being done, and for what relevant period. Seems like you'd have to be either illiterate or willfully misreading it to be upset
