yes, we boiled the planet, but it was worth it to make a machine that, instead of adding two plus two, takes the statistical average of every answer to questions containing "what" "is" "two" and "plus" from a database of illegal cell phone transcripts and returns a fake nude pic of a high schooler

So you didn't read any of the article or the myriad links to studies therein. You should. You will see a lot more people with similar struggles to maintain coherent thought.

We have learned so much about how viruses transmit over the past four years & yet none of the passive yet effective measures (better ventilation, HEPA filtration) have been adopted as new standards. An opportunity to future proof our buildings & workplaces let slip away. www.rte.ie/news/2024/07...

HEPA filtration, CADR & UV disinfection requirements should have been part of the infrastructure bill, but they were too busy claiming covid was over so shut up and get back to work and/or school.

That's just it. It wasn't "a bad debate" like Nixon sweating. This wasn't a gaffe. He could not speak in full sentences or accurately state his own positions. The greatest irony is that he meant to say the lie "We beat covid". His condition will get much worse. theconversation.com/mounting-res...

Artist Hitomi Terasawa drew a meticulous cross-sectioned rendering of Hong Kong's infamous Kowloon Walled City before it was razed in 1994. Now we have rare scans revealing the inner workings of the labyrinth-like metropolis.

It's not possible to be more damaging than that debate. It's what caused all of the conversation. It is what did the damage. Everything else is symptoms and products of that damage.

i think akhil amar reed captures something very important, which is that the roberts court rewrote article ii, which explicitly states that a president can be held criminally liable after impeachment (and which has long been understood to mean that he can be held liable after leaving office)

Properly-worn masks and kente cloths are the armor of those actually fighting to defend human rights and equality. This disgusting stunt was always stolen valor. They understood none of it.

The courts interfering in the election process by stopping the recount in Florida in 2000 was the death knell to me. We had an opportunity & energy to change course in 2008, but that was dead by 2009. Everything since has been window-shopping in hell.

"But Spike, human labor is much more expensive than it used to be." Yeah, no, that modern mansion is $32 million. Anyone who could buy that abomination could hire a sculptor to carve some Art Nouveau crown molding. We've just been programmed to no longer consider artisan finishing as luxury.

This has leaked into every facet of new construction. No one wants to spend the money upfront on building things a community can be proud of. They want the lowest cost and quickest path to recouping costs.

Makes my skin crawl that these people have to spend the twilight of their lives being denied justice by people who weren’t even alive when they were brutalized and that what were supposed to be the best years of their lives was stained by an overt rejection of justice.
