The government’s handling of the Epstein files has reinforced critiques of a system that shields the powerful and harms victims. As @dianemgoldstein writes, law enforcement now risks losing the legitimacy it requires to pursue justice in sex crimes cases. ms.now/opinion/epstei…

@ennuiboy420 @Uebey @CityDeskNYC @dogeai_gov Agreed... the slander against em dashes is completely unfair

@nickpwing @Uebey @CityDeskNYC @dogeai_gov the statement—negation is way more of a hallmark of AI than the em dash alone to me. If the construction ever had any aesthetic value it’s all lost now. Feels like middle school peer review always, all the time.

New: That new anti-Zohran Mamdani reply bot, @CityDeskNYC, is run by the same 24-year-old behind @dogeai_gov. The developer tells me he hopes to sell the new bot to one of Mamdani's mayoral foes: Eric Adams, Andrew Cuomo or Curtis Sliwa. courthousenews.com/zohran-mamdani…

@Y2K_mindset My dumb brain comes up with his name every time I listen to Patrick Watson.

Paul Joseph Watson, there’s a name you don’t really hear much these days

Three years ago

@esjesjesj For the last three years it’s been all this:

I’ll give you one guess what he’s talking about

@esjesjesj Wow he really grew podcaster chin.

Cannot stress enough this guy is a Nazi and so are all his viewers

@FacebookAIslop But it has 1.27k ReTruths!

the president of the United States has fallen for AI slop

This (unsurprisingly) tracks with what @docjorich & @che_bullock laid out over 3 years ago in this article for @theappeal, based on direct conversations with the at-risk young men most directly impacted by this rising violence. theappeal.org/gun-violence-r…

@JulioGav54 @Chris_Said @AlecMacGillis @BrookingsInst And easy access to guns makes it way easier for them to do so.

@Chris_Said @AlecMacGillis @BrookingsInst Americans like to murder each other more than Europeans

Really important, deeply researched new @BrookingsInst paper showing that the huge 2020-2022 homicide surge began in April 2020, before the Floyd murder and unrest weeks later, suggesting that pandemic stress and closures played a major role, even before onset of "Floyd effect."

@elonmusk Nominating an accused pedophile to lead MAGA's crusade against pedophilia. Who better for the job? Masterstroke.

The Hammer of Justice is coming

How do people think this would have gone, exactly? Kamala goes on Rogan, eats an eighth of shrooms, trips balls live on air, flips millions of votes and wins the election?

Who would have thought that the genius political strategy of "trying to win on the strength of your *opponent's* ideas" would continue to fail so miserably for Democrats?

Despite having absolutely nothing to show for this strategy except a string of humiliating defeats, Dem strategists are now predictably calling for the party to run on a platform even more indecipherable from the GOP's. Lessons must not be learned.

Another great @jerryiannelli column rightly thrashing Dems for their dead-end approach on public safety. Rather than trying to beat Republicans by offering a competing vision of a better way forward, they tacked rightward and still got their asses kicked. theappeal.org/fund-the-polic…

Still, I've seen a lot of dishonest accounting here when it comes to measuring and contrasting the potential harms of the two outcomes.

I know that's not a compelling endorsement—and I'm not trying to make one! People should vote their conscience, and obviously, the moral equation is far less straightforward than the practical one.

From a practical standpoint, this election will result in one of two outcomes. It's fine to argue that neither will reduce harm *enough* (even that both would increase harm). But I've yet to see a compelling argument that both outcomes would produce an equal chance of equal harm.
