LAPD did not kill Valentina Orellana-Peralta through a tragic accident. They killed her through depraved indifference because some Dave Grossman-stoked wannabe robocop did not want to miss a chance to arouse himself by killing a man with a rifle inside a shopping mall.

There is a lot of racism woven into our national story. That doesn't mean we are still as bad as we were, or that we're destined to be a racist nation, but it does mean that we have a legacy to contend with that is still influencing policy today.

web3 is venture capital wanting a new bubble to inflate so they can get the kinds of returns they used to get.

I'm old enough to remember when Very Serious Writers told us that the big threat to free expression wasn't right-wing government action, but illiberal scorn from the left. And no one of them has apologized, lots their glorious Seats of Punditocracy, or otherwise had a qualm. https://t.co/YmrcbCUKV3

It’s not a violation of the First Amendment to tell you that your legally protected speech reveals you are stupid or an asshole.

"Cancel culture" discourse sucks because 90% of the people who get piled on don't really deserve it (at least not to that degree), but most of the people who use "cancel culture" as a defense are utter chuds who absolutely deserve to be dragged.

You’re contradicting yourself. You said “they got booted”. Pick an antisemitic trope and stick with it. No one likes an inconsistent bigot. https://t.co/KllgTRbRp0

Love when the group generally in power gets triggered when all that's happened is that they've been categorized, just like they've done to us for centuries. Related: The number of people triggered by being called "cisgender" is also apparently rather high. https://t.co/McjZERoKIl

When people say, “Covid is everywhere and I’m fed up, so I’ll just live normally.”

What they mean is: “I’ll do what I want, but healthcare workers better work 24/7 in the ER and ICU in case I need them, because they shouldn’t live normally in a pandemic” #COVID19 #SelfishTruths

So let me see if I have this straight: You refuse to get vaccinated, you won't wear a mask, you go to public places doing neither of those things and then you blame Biden for a surge in Covid cases? How does that work?

People who've been calling for the CDC to ease COVID restriction guidelines sure are mad at the CDC for easing COVID restriction guidelines.

BREAKING: The CDC is now recommending that the 5 second rule become the 10 second rule because Americans simply cannot tolerate being forced to pick food off the floor in only 5 seconds

Politicians should stop talking about “real” America. All of America is real America—the parts that agree with you and the parts that don’t. https://t.co/zahwKIFlwp

Moving to a state isn’t a statement of political allegiance. If it becomes that, we aren’t a country anymore.

A student expressed their preference for pronouns that the professor didn’t use but also said the professor was great. No one was disciplined in anyway. I’m finding it hard to understand why anyone would get upset about that kind of exchange. Students get to express themselves. https://t.co/SscKlslHuA
