@CliffConnolly@ostonox Cliff, I'm a relatively new member but does it not vex you to see this org get outmaneuvered, in some ways, by PSL (a more left organization) because they have a billionaire funder? What's the strategic vision here?
Had someone get onto my roof tonight and then realize getting back down (because he did so without a ladder) was going to be a lot harder. Incredible stuff.
@cearsun@CantEverDie Now that's a good question and I won't proport to be an expert at all. It's very easy to come up with solutions with Part A.) Community reinvestment, less city cooperation with the firms doing this.
Part B.) is messy, though!
Just wanted to paint the full picture.
Ive talked about how gothic horror is a fear of the remains of a now dead decadence of the past, ie haunted castles or old haunted mansions. Our modern version of this is evidently empty shopping malls and anamatronic pizzaria arcades
@CantEverDie Well, other people who move *displacing the people who lived there and removing the historical diversity of a given place.* It's not a complete picture to not include that. I don't care people move to my city. I care that my city has destroyed black neighborhoods to build for it.
@leftist_lawyer On our side it's really hard to have that sort of discipline, though, and I understand it. This looks and smells like horseshit, and I can't fault people for saying it out loud. I'm not a fucking cop!
@leftist_lawyer I think, in regards to this story, there's much more reporting to be done and "our" side will do its due diligence.
These "national" smears appeal to fucking no one. They continue to debase the paper of record for shit like this. I say let them, calmly debunk, and continue.
@thelongmarch86@Mike_from_PA@HasanabiProd Teensy more research: I don't have enough info to really say either way. Depending on some of the statutes the defense team uses, he *may* have to pay, but we'll just have to wait and see in ~week.
@thelongmarch86@Mike_from_PA@HasanabiProd I believe that's up for her defense team to try an arbitrate, looking at the language. Not a legal expert, could be wrong.
we have to get this right wing charlatan out of congress! support democratic socialist @OliverALarkin to primary moskowitz who famously said he's to the right of marco rubio when it comes to defending israel's interests!
we're living in a time when big names in the industry are shamelessly endorsing AI so i think people that passionately create things without resorting to it should also be shamelessly proud of what they make and eager to get people to see it
