For doing their job, reporters @brittny_mejia & @liborjany were berated by LAPD & police union officials. The outrage exposed an alarming ignorance of a free press among top police officials in one of the nation’s largest cities, experts say My analysis: latimes.com/california/sto…

“Police officers are public servants paid by the taxpayers, and part of the responsibility of being public servants in a democracy involves answering reasonable questions from reporters about events of consequence in the community. This is a normal part of reporting.”

Insurance companies pulling out of Florida completely because of litigation issues and climate change… And the literal response from the state’s GOP CFO is whining like “they’re good at virtue signaling” and “the Bud Light of insurance” 🤡 clickorlando.com/news/florida/2…

LASD usually goes over budget on overtime by at least $50 million a year. The #1 reason employees list for why they need to work that overtime is... blank. They just leave it blank. $50 to $150m over budget per year -- and zero reason listed.

I have a piece in The NYT this morning. A Minneapolis suburb hired a Black chief and assistant chief. Over half the department quit. Yet the world didn’t end. If cops would rather quit than respect the people they serve, maybe it’s okay to let them go. nytimes.com/2023/07/02/opi…

“At least 32 inmates died in TDCJ [Texas] prisons in total during the month of June.”

as expected, the court has inverted the 14th. an amendment written explicitly to directly ameliorate the conditions of race hierarchy becomes in conservative hands an amendment that says it’s illegal to try to directly ameliorate the conditions of race hierarchy

I've written around twenty episodes of animated TV, much of which spent weeks in Netflix's global top ten, all available to stream worldwide every single day, and I have seen about $400 in residuals. Not great! deadline.com/2023/06/writer…

Accurate to my experience with GOP family members—faux-worldly cynicism (and whataboutism) quickly appear to short-circuit sustained, considered thought on any subject of import. So much easier than having a real think, I guess

I couldn't execute any WebXR code yet (I enabled the feature flags, so I guess it's not quite there yet) but I could load AR models into the scene. This is how they look like when they materialize outside of the Safari flat surface.

Safari for Apple Vision Pro doesn't have web app installation, no "Add to Home View" item present in current beta.🥽 👉It's based on Safari for iPadOS. 👉It exposes a viewport of 1024x890 CSS pixels with a 2dppx resolution. 👉Mouse over emulates eye tracking on the simulator.

It was only thanks to the GOP that Trump got away with: a) stealing $400M from Congress and a foreign ally (1974 Act forbids this) b) then extorting/bribing foreign ally with that same money to concoct a smear campaign against political rivals It was a righteous impeachment.
