Because while ACAB... look around the world in Cyberpunk! While the cops are bastards the corps are actually much worse and the more relevant reason for why it's a dystopia.

If I'm a career criminal navigating the corruption of a capitalist dystopia, why am I spending a inordinate amount of time helping the cops?

Hasan Piker: “Every dollar spent on a bomb that Israel drops on a school is a dollar stolen from you because that’s a dollar that could’ve been used to build a school in your neighborhood. That’s your productive output used for the death machine to kill other people’s kids”

If you turned on the TV in another country and saw the leader's daughter-in-law giving him a softball interview on a major "news" channel, you would rightfully assume that country is a tinpot dictatorship.

Samuel Alito’s son has worked as a lawyer inside Trump’s Treasury Department since early last year. The administration hid it.

No public resume, no LinkedIn, no mention on the Treasury website, outdated bar listings. Four former officials confirmed it.

The public was never told.

Here is why that matters.

Philip Alito served as an attorney-adviser in Treasury’s general counsel office, briefed on department matters across the board, while the Supreme Court took up a case in which the Treasury Department was a named defendant.

The department never disclosed the connection in court.

Justice Alito did not recuse.

The federal recusal law is plain. A justice must step aside in any case where his impartiality might reasonably be questioned.

That is the test.

Not whether anyone can prove influence but whether a reasonable person looking at this would doubt it. A justice ruling on cases involving the very agency that employs his son fails that test on its face.

And Treasury sits at the center of many upcoming issues, including the fight over Trump’s $1.776 billion dollar fund to reward the January 6th rioters he pardoned. That fight could be headed to the Court too.

This is exactly why the honor system has failed.

The Supreme Court is the only court in America with no enforceable code of conduct. I support withholding funding from the Court until the justices adopt a binding code with real recusal review.

Congress holds the power of the purse.

We should use it.

Since he's reading out my tweet in this video lemme just say this is a huge part of their problem and why their audience is so vitriolic. They receive criticism and immediately jump to doubling down instead of any attempt to examine themselves and their actions.

@barbarismcrit You can't write "(correct)" about your take, baiting backlash to your (imo kinda shortsighted) take and then get mad when people have a backlash to said take.

@wynndoughs Actual guess at an answer - It's a discontinued flavor so its 33% off and there is a coupon for the actual line that isn't DCed at 1.75$

@yoracrab It's probably going to depend heavily on how this goes, but its honestly a very interesting way to 're-hype' your game for a new/returning playerbase before a sequel drops.

NEW: Sharyn Alfonsi goes scorched earth on Bari Weiss:

"Over the weekend, my contract with CBS News expired, drawing to a close nearly twenty years with the network, including more than a decade at 60 Minutes.

Following an intense editorial dispute over our CECOT story, repeated attempts by my representation to establish a path forward were met with absolute silence from network executives. The message could not be clearer: my time at 60 Minutes is apparently over.

In the coming days, network leadership may attempt to hide behind corporate euphemisms like "modernization" and “restructuring” to explain away my departure. Don't be misled. This was not a routine corporate transition; it was a deliberate choice to penalize a journalist for refusing to sanitize factually accurate reporting, and it sends a chilling message to the entire newsroom.

Fearless, independent reporting has always been the defining standard at 60 Minutes. Today, CBS management is abandoning that mission, choosing access journalism over accountability and protecting power rather than scrutinizing it.

The wall between editorial independence and corporate interest at CBS is being methodically torn down. Journalists willing to challenge authority are being pushed aside in favor of those who will not. If this continues, the result will be a broadcast that looks like 60 Minutes but lacks the courage and character to produce journalism that matters.

To my colleagues, who became family - working beside you has been the privilege of a lifetime. You are second to none. I’ve learned exactly what it costs to hold the line right now. Hold it anyway. Viewers and the people who trust us with their stories deserve nothing less."

@Mengu09 Some day I would just love to see a retrospective on what the FFL looked like for these sets.

I think part of the reason the Boomers don't understand the Gen Z demoralization on society and the economy, is that generally,
Boomers believe you suffer now, and it gets better later.
Gen Z believes they are suffering now, and it won't get better later.

[Fred Tobin @BigDerf]

@hecubian_devil Because the "good economy" is just a bunch of AI companies passing around money as they attempt to make everyone jobless. Meanwhile unemployment is "down" because Uber has a bunch of people making negative fucking incomes working. We have eyes so we see that the numbers lie.

[Mrs Too Damn Media Literate @bobo_circus]

It's because people experienced the recovery from the Great Recession as the economy becoming more precarious and they expect that, whenever the oil shock that everyone knows is coming finally hits, it will happen again but worse. Why has this been a multi-day argument.
