Rewrite: Are liberals all secretly religious? There are hypotheticals that sounds meaningful but aren’t. “Imagine you were born Sudanese.” “Imagine if you were a vicious killer.” “imagine if you were a cow.” These feel like fine thought experiments but they’re not because the “I” doing the imagining has been completely replaced. “What if you were born in the 1800s” is probably just as impossible as being born Sudanese, but it’s a valid thought experiment. It works because I’m still in it. I have the same genome and brain but just different circumstances. The instrument is constant. I’m still here. That’s the actual test. Circumstances can vary as much as you like, era, wealth, location, whether I ate breakfast. The same “I” survives and is still doing the reasoning. But if you swap the fucking genome and brain, the “I” in the sentence no longer refers to me. The subject has been replaced but grammar pretends otherwise. This means the thought experiment hasn’t put me in someone else’s shoes. It’s put someone else in the sentence where I used to be, and then asked me to draw conclusions about justice or empathy based on that person’s simulated preferences.

LA City Council just told LAPD they can't pull anyone over anymore for expired tags, dead tail lights, cracked windshields, busted mirrors, illegal tint, loud exhaust, or missing plates. Why? Because out of 72,000 stops in three years, 86% were Black or Latino drivers. So if your car is busted, you're now invisible to the LAPD. Congratulations. This rule is intended to reduce discriminatory policing and build community trust.

"disparate impact" is one of the most damaging legal and philosophical doctrines in america. in essence, it says "you may not notice reality if reality is not to our liking." it's one of the foundational ideas of DEI, affirmative action, disparate charging and sentencing, and other such discrimination masquerading as justice. gone is the idea of equal treatment, equal before the law, and equal rights. in its place stands "no one may have rights and no one may be safe" because "if one group disproportionately commits crimes, then we must stop noticing and prosecuting the crimes." it's all of a piece. this is how you get decriminalized shoplifting, failure to prosecute, failure to hold felons despite dozens of violent arrests. these people hate the idea of "broken windows policing" not because it's oppressive but because it works. it rounds up illegals. it catches people out on warrants. it leads to a zillion other crimes being uncovered because the kinds of people who commit those crimes commit lots and lots of crimes. they are the sort of people who either do not care or cannot help it. you want to find these people and if the cost is "a few folks get fix it tickets for driving with unsafe windshields or expired tags" then fine. nearly all crime is committed by habitual offenders. identifying and engaging with repeat and recidivist criminals and, if need be, getting them off the streets is the only thing that works. they do not stop unless stopped. they just keep stealing, shooting, and pushing strangers to their deaths down flights of stairs.

Maybe women don’t like men much either.

Leader Thune says there's nothing more he can do to pass the Save America Act: "We don't have the votes to get rid of the filibuster. We had a very spirited debate. I made more speeches on the floor in support of the SAVE Act than any other senator."

BREAKING: A Somali grocer, Abdidwahid Mohamed, has been charged in a $1.1 MILLION SNAP fraud scheme in Minneapolis. Investigators say he used other people's EBT cards to buy energy drinks and baby formula at Sam's Club and Costco, then resold the goods at his store. The scheme netted him $1,141,082 between March and August 2021. SNAP is supposed to feed needy families, not line the pockets of foreign criminals. They’ve taken Americans for suckers. No more importing the Third World!!

The girldads and tradwives are dangerously close to giving the game away that they’re just feminists. Young men have figured out a cheat code — just ask them about no-fault divorce.
