Food for thought: We've never had a Supreme Court Justice as far to the left as Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Barrett or Neil Gorsuch are to the right. Not Thurgood Marshall, not Earl Warren, not even RGB. And those 5 are today's *majority*.

Last week the LA City Redistricting Commission moved forward with a proposed map that effectively *erases* our district in its current form.

This happened despite the fact that the minimal changes in population in LA show no basis whatsoever for such drastic shifts. (thread)

@phreespeech This all sounds about right, but I wanted harder corroboration, and the author's expertise was a little hard to trace. No bio on that site. I guess he guest writes on the Forbes blog, and this bio on his own blog says he's got a JD and works in software.

Selfish, misguided, and incredibly sad.

The Microsoft database hack shows that data stored in the cloud must always be encrypted end-to-end. While politicians still ask for 'legit access' to fight CSAM, the latest Microsoft hack shows that any data stored without encryption is always at risk.

A lot of really stupid things being said about Afghanistan on all sides of the political spectrum. Abject failure in Afghanistan has been bipartisan literally since Carter. (1/11)

Yes, the US paid them to fight and for many it's a JOB (just like it is for many in the US military despite what the propaganda would have us believe). I'm not saying they didn't want to defeat the Taliban; I'm saying their desire to feed their families is likely stronger. (9/11)

This is insane. Russia successfully impersonated politicians ON VIDEO in deepfake calls to European MPs.

Frankly, I'm surprised this is the first we've heard of this happening, given that the tech has been available and totally usable for a few years.

As in:

Confused by an ambiguous joke, I said to the joke-teller that if you have to explain a joke, you're doing it wrong.

The response was: "you only have to explain it to immigrant linguists with a passion for precision!"
