Someone will still get arrested for that though.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has acknowledged committing perjury.

Trump told the Palm Beach police chief that his fingerprints were going to be all over everything and tried to convince him to ignore it.

If you live in the US, George W. Bush went to war in Afghanistan in October 2001 and war in Iraq in February 2003 and Donald Trump arranged the surrender/withdrawal from Afghanistan on Feb 29th, 2020, ending the war exactly as the COVID-19 pandemic was ramping up. Then in January 2021 there was a coup attempt just as the first COVID-19 vaccines were becoming available for essential workers outside healthcare.

30+ years ago skies used to be silver in cities from smog. Going across the mountains into Los Angeles could be like going to a different planet.

I’ve seen the sun orange and even red from smoke and pollution.

Half-Life 2 would be a mediocre game if you lacked empathy for people in conditions where the protagonist (the player) starts.

Why is an ICE agent filming with a cell phone?

White men are already a minority. The only way they can imagine that white men “hold a collective majority” is if they imagine that White men hold other people (like White women or their non-White subordinates).

Hierarchies are good when you want to distribute decision making across a large number of actors. Some actors can integrate the decisions of others around them and repeat them back so that other nearby actors have a better understanding of the larger scale situation without paying attention to it themselves. Similarly actors with long distance relationships can coordinate decisions for a large number of actors across very large groups.

This leads to a natural form of heirarchy with some actors being more central/abstract/supportive for a particular task or goal with other actors being more peripheral/direct or immediate/active.

Heirarchies work when the central, detectched actors serve to spread the decisions and needs of the peripheral, immediately involved actors.

Heirarchies fail when the central actors use their increased access to obtain resources, power, additional access, divide other actors to make themselves more important, etc.

Making things up doesn’t help anybody. If you remembered the source of the allegation you could have just gone and checked.

The “pee tapes”

I have a sudden horrible feeling that “Bubba” was a dog.

I have a couple Beitong Asura 2 Pro+s with hall effect sensors. They work great and haven’t worn out like the litany of xbox and ds4 controllers that preceded them.
