Real Original CP3

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

544 buses stopped in Bahia! Only one bus per line on the streets of Teresina, a capital with a population of almost a million! Metro stoppages in São Paulo with no replacement buses! No buses in São Gonçalo, a city in the state of Rio governed by the far-right!

This is why. www.yacnews.com/brazil-court...

"The director won’t protect even our most respected analysts when they tell hard truths, so they stopped telling them and learned to avoid topics the White House didn’t want to hear,” newly retired CIA official tells @shaneharris.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

Man’s still got the goods

This is Bad

We literally have the largest bike-touring event in the world which has been an annual summer state tradition for FIFTY YEARS. There's a giant exhibit in the state historical museum about it. This is comical.

This is 👀 “Kushner’s counsel, however, said Kushner did not make any agreements or arrangements with leaders or officials in foreign countries that were not agreed to by the President of the United States and in the best interests of the United States.”

I don’t know, maybe we should simply not have a 24/7/365 surveillance system that allows users to search retroactively as far back as the data exists Because if we have that tool it will be abused

In case anybody needs social proof/thinks I'm exaggerating.

I did not think I was still capable of being shocked. This is one of those hypotheticals we use to illustrate the absurdity of a given position. Surely this must be against the law — that this is against the law is part of what makes the law, law.

In 1991 a guy named George Holliday filmed some BTS footage of the T2 scene where Arnold arrives in the present - they were filming near his house and he just went out with his camcorder. A few hours later he saw cops pull a guy out of his car, and filmed the beating of Rodney King on the same tape.

Duop Reath and Drew Timme are great vibes signings. Yeah, they both have significant holes in their games but as end of the bench bigs and practice squad guys they’re great. And hey, Timme just played 27 good minutes in a Timberwolves preseason game, so who knows?

The Roads Have Eyes! 👁️ Turn on the Surveillance Layer in Map Options to see known license plate readers from Flock Safety, Motorola Solutions (Vigilant), Genetec, Axis Communications, Axon, Leonardo (ELSAG), Neology, Rekor, PlateSmart, Ubicquia, Verkada, and other outdoor surveillance cameras.

There are exactly zero lawyers who would say this

How many Scaramuccis are we giving her?

Jimmy Carter sold his peanut farm to avoid the appearance of bias or interest. Our political culture is in a lot of trouble that Republicans aren’t safer calling this out than ignoring or defending it.

hello, 911? I’d like to report a murder

Temu Armie Hammer has spoken

AI is now the biggest investment in all of US history as a percentage of GDP. Datacenter construction is up, all other construction is down. "AI Is Squeezing Out the Rest of the Stock Market," reported WSJ 2 days ago. We basically bet the whole economy on the most optimistic visions panning out.

The first two categories are expressly unconstitutional. Coker v. Georgia (1977) and Kennedy v. Louisiana (2008) forbid the death penalty for any non-homicide offense under the 8th Amendment Of course, SCOTUS gonna SCOTUS…

ICE just spent $16.7 million arming agents with shock gloves—wearable devices that deliver a painful electric shock. Human rights organizations like Amnesty International say the gloves “could be readily misused for torture.” Mother Jones' @hurwitz.bsky.social investigates: https://bit.ly/472ZbhV

If you’ve read about TN this week, please take a moment with this piece if you didn’t read it when we published it: It’s an investigation into the execution team Alabama has put together. It’s officers with a history of violence who choose each other. Eye-opening to what happens in executions.

How much does it cost to get more information about a cop who punched someone in the face? If you guessed anything lower than $2.5 million, you’d be wrong — at least according to the city of Eugene, Oregon. buff.ly/AlxYU8S

Good evening! We are still raising funds for @chirla-org.bsky.social over on our Bandcamp until 12am PT. We have a super special limited edition sweatshirt ONLY available today. bikinikill.bandcamp.com/merch/limite...

Filing reports from the "GoPDX" PAC show the direct link between the business-led United for Portland PAC and a trio of new independent expenditures (GoPDX, Ditch Mitch & fix multco). These are the PACs behind a grip of billboards bashing Councilor Green / supporting Commissioner Brim-Edwards.

Any judge--sorry, immigration judge, not real judge--who requires a 2-year-old to represent themself and then deports them deserves to lose their license. And also rot in hell.

Fake. USDA. Seals. Used by an NC meat processing plant on 83.5 TONS of meat. Produced entirely outside the federal inspection system, according to news reports. We are pretty close to The Jungle (second ed.) now, no? www.scrippsnews.com/life/recalls...

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵

AI might do horrible damage to the world. If it does, the most likely mechanism is that the economic bubble(s) surrounding the tech will burst, erasing billions or trillions in artificial assets after a decade of inflating hardware costs and wasted software development cycles.

The city funds the Portland Metro Chamber through the Downtown Clean and Safe ESD scam, so this hilarious fuckup is our tax dollars at work.

Really good chicken helmet. Best chicken helmet I’ve ever seen maybe.

I’ve been doing a thorough review of Tupac’s work this week, having missed most of his production when I was a kid. His bangers-per-track rate over the four albums published before his death is maybe unbeatable. Every groove is sick. Every line is delivered like a punch in a round-long combo.

get ready to cyber bully your legislators that restoring and expanding bus service is a nonnegotiable component of a 2027 transportation package. It won’t happen unless we annoy the crap out of them with untold hundreds of angry constituents blowing up their inboxes and phone lines
