They left him without his walking aid, knowing he didn't speak English and wouldn't know where he was. No reasonable person could expect any other outcome from their actions

Every stage of this process - his arrest, spending a year in jail, being dumped on the streets to die - would be deeply shameful in a society that actually valued human life.

It's not a new observation at this point but that wild Noem/Lewandowski story in WSJ really brings home the extent to which all the Trump 2 cabinet-level goblins see their jobs as flying private, doing short-form video, and screaming at underlings. They all hate each other and none of them can read.

IDF accepts Gaza Health Ministry death toll of over 71,000 Palestinians killed in the war Although Many International Experts Have Accepted the Health Ministry's Data as Reliable, and Even Conservative Relative to the True Death Toll, Israel Had Refused to Accept the Health Ministry's Coun...

I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable.

Biden himself said they were fabricated!

🚨WHOA. The El Paso Medical Examiner says it will rule the death of a 55-year-old Cuban man at ICE's "Camp East Montana" tent camp as a homicide.

He was allegedly choked to death by a guard during a "struggle" after he refused to enter a housing unit without his medications.

He always goes hard and early...

Also, i think he should do jail time and never have the right to drive again for something this egregious

The core assumption of greed is that it's non-satiating. Not to be all Gordon Gecko, but there is no amount that the greedy stop at - they will always want more so long as the cost of that greed stays the same

Dealing with political corruption means: getting corporate money out of politics; greater transparency; stronger enforcement than the current, narrow quid pro quo. More red tape, basically.

I'd really like to see some actual research into this, because my gut says that at a certain point you're just paying people enough to organically swim in corrupt social circles, rather than boosting them into it. Paying sports people more doesn't inoculate them from match fixing and cheating

Could Prince Andrew ever be prosecuted over his links to Jeffrey Epstein? The Metropolitan Police are β€˜actively looking’ into claims that the royal tried to use his bodyguard to smear his accuser Virginia Giuffre – as her family urged the force to reopen an inquiry into her...

Sex trafficking is still a crime, no matter the age of the victim, but the Met have always claimed a lack of evidence. He could also still face investigation for police corruption (but I guess that will also go nowhere unless the officer involved admits to it)

Maybe it's just a reflection of my pessimism regarding this current Pogi era, but I feel like this Lazkano situation casts a very dark cloud over the whole sport.

For obvious reasons, this is a TERRIBLE idea. Facial recognition has high false positive rates for immigrants in particular!

I did! A good paper, but an even more essential one is Gambetta/Origgi on Italian academia and the preference for low-quality work. Literally everybody I know who has read this and has experience in China has remarked on how useful it is.

Honestly, the more individuals that make themselves targets of the trump regime, the better. They've already run out of competent investigators and prosecutors to go after the existing targets, and this will just accelerate the unravelling of DOJ capacity. Make them drown in their own BS

I think that "people misunderstanding Occam's razor" is my "thinking about the Roman Empire 5 times a day".

Occam's razor is quite simply a process for selecting the simplest amongst correct explanations. If multiple hypotheses give differing predictions, the razor doesn't apply.

Minor point, but of course the Winkelvii are on the list. They're like a magnet for anything destructive to society if they think it can enrich them

Amazing, amazing, amazing interview with Kelvin Pierce, the son of (probably) the most influential neo-nazi in US history. The apple can fall a very long way from the tree in a wonderful way

Any movement, progressive or otherwise, that grants immense power to its leaders will be vulnerable to Mr L types. People who are drawn to the trappings and displays of power and strength. Lead a protest; "play soldier"; work for Blackwater; get a totenkopf tattoo; run for Senate - it's all cool.

It's a prerequisite of working for ICE that you must be a broken little man-child. The full video in the second post is a perfect demonstration of this. He's a walking red flag, but it'll never occur to him to stop and look in the mirror, so he causes suffering until someone stops him.
