That seems super extreme in this situation. We’re not talking about cops attacking, wrongfully arresting, or killing anyone. They’re shit cops and should be fired.

It's the same as an aspiring author reading all of Martin's work for inspiration. They can write a story based on a vaguely medieval England full of rape and murder, without paying Martin a dime. What they can't do is call it Westeros, or have the main character be named Eddard Stork.

This isn’t about a person reading things and taking inspiration and writing a similar story though. This is about a company consuming copyrighted works to and selling software that is built on those copyrighted works and depends on those copyrighted works. It’s different.

The GOP blocking military nominees is way scarier than people think. They did this with judges, and then when they got trump in office, they appointed a bunch of industry and fascist shills. They appear to be doing the same thing to the military. They could get the military leadership on board with with a fascist coup.

Police need to be made to fear the law. Until they do they will continue to be sadistic monsters.

Are they all Scientologists?

And NY passed it in name only. The government only passed it after letting the industry rewrite it to be mostly useless.

I’m skeptical of this article, but I know my own usage went to almost 0 because of how awful the bots and trolls are now. Blue checks are prioritized in the comment section and they’re usually awful people or maybe paid trolls or bots, and it makes the app unusable and unpleasant. That’s really the thing that killed it for me.

He shouted at progressives who were actually speaking factually as well. And he loved coming up with contrived hypocrisies when he couldn’t shut down facts. Seriously fuck that guy. I don’t know why people hold him up as a good interviewer.

I wonder What all they’re including in that count. I’m guessing it includes the fire and and gasoline burned at the event. But does it include transportation to and from the event? Potentially it even includes the co2 generated by farming the food that is there. It doesn’t say so it’s hard to really know how bad it is relative to other vacations.

70k people burning 35k camp fires would add up too though.

Is that more co2 than 70k people going on a normal camping trip including driving, food, fire, etc? I have no idea how to interpret 100k tons of CO2. It’s not an intuitive number.
