@CEOofCarole @HelmutKlaue The difference is that the death penalty is final, you cant undo it. If someone is wrongly sent to prison, they can be freed/given restitution at least.

@CEOofCarole @HelmutKlaue There is ALWAYS a chance someone is wrongfully convicted, though.

@went2Jrads @RealJakeGrover @_staringcontest okay so by what metric are you saying that Subtronics is bigger right now than, say, Martin Garrix or Rezz or Illenium?

[Zukka @ZACKKOLIN]

@Grimwiremusic @went2Jrads @_staringcontest i think you could def make the case that hes one of them, depending on if melodic dubstep acts like Seven Lions or Illenium or Slander would be counted

[Zukka @ZACKKOLIN]

@went2Jrads @_staringcontest hes the biggest dubstep DJ.... but hes not the biggest overall

Civil forfeiture allows police to take people's assets without proving the owner did anything wrong.

I spent time looking at one of the most coercive tactics they use to ensure innocent folks never get their stuff back: depriving them of due process. /2 https://t.co/0sYG38NjIh

Some of the most effective altruism you could do climate wise is make the American public more aware of how much they should hate most farmers.

The majority of the water crisis in the southwest is farmers being shitheads.

@longliveautumn @NicholasPas5 The Dixie Chicks, Sheryl Crow, Alanis Morrissette, Faith Hill, were doing pop country/pop folk/all sorts of genre blending way before Taylor Swift, she didn’t invent any of those genres. She may have mastered some of them, sure, but she didn’t create them

An AP language student in SC, assigned to read Ta-Nehisi Coates, instead wrote to the school board: "I am pretty sure a teacher talking about systemic racism is illegal in South Carolina."

The school board banned the book.

My latest for @PENamerica.

The real problem when you get too many democrats in one place is they create such innovative economies—global centers of tech, finance, art—that demand to live there skyrockets and they end up coping with this success in suboptimal ways (eg nimbyism, prop 13, etc)

The most absurd part of the discourse behind the I-95 collape are all the people going on about how many months or years it will take to repair as though it's normal for critical infrastructure to be moved in endless bureaucracy for years.

No other country works like this.

Amid collapsing bridges and burning forests, I wish more people would realize that the ruling ideology of the last 40 years has wrought this for the same reason it cannot fight this: it doesn’t believe that government, the only system capable of addressing this, should address it

The argument that very ambitious young ppl can go to a wide range of good colleges and still be fine is true. But why lie and pretend like the top tier of every industry, whether finance, tech, and especially creative fields, aren’t basically all Ivy League graduates?

[Zukka @ZACKKOLIN]

@uscscreenwriter @crackitycracken @jaycaspiankang And you have to manage expectations for that middle ground to be acceptable
