@AshleyInMKE you mean the police would have to bust *actual* criminals instead of kids with dimebags? 🫢

[Cassie Pritchard @hecubian_devil]

One thing that turned me against the vision of prison/police abolition was realizing it would be this type of person who would be, in the main, taking their place as administrators of “community justice,” “accountability circles,” and so on.

That, in fact, it would be a different flavor of cop, but ultimately would still attract people with many of the same pathologies common among police (desire for domination, power, authority, status; sadism; etc). The methods and culture would be different but, ultimately, still populated by people I simply do not trust with such responsibilities.

Given this reality, finding ways to reform or remake the institutions of formal, bureaucratic justice—to empower the institutions and rules and disempower the arbitrary authority of the sort of individual drawn to such work—seemed like a better strategy than simply trading one kind of cop for another.

I suppose this is the crux of it; some people see the bureaucracy and the institution as the problem. I don’t. I see the failure of bureaucracy to assert itself above the individual, arbitrary wills of People With Cop Brain as the problem. I want a justice system even more impersonal and rule-bound, one which properly restrains the antisocial and hostile impulses of the people who tend to, given the chance, volunteer for the work of regulating “the community.”

The abolitionist vision is one without formal institutions and bureaucracies which can subdue these impulses and this kind of person drawn to the work of policing/regulating/controlling. Therefore, I don’t see it succeeding at much beyond trading one kind of police for another, less constrained, more arbitrary kind of police.

@AshleyInMKE i saw them at WWWY and their show just isn’t the same. adam acting like mitch hedberg instead of singing just didn’t do it for me.

Slammed behind the bar earlier and someone ordered a skinny/sugar free green tea shot and his girlfriend asked if he was retarded which I greatly appreciated because I’m not allowed to say that to customers anymore.

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

BREAKING: EVERY scheduled opening act on Ed Sheeran’s Loop Tour has now withdrawn after Macklemore was dropped over his pro-Palestinian remarks.

Aaron Rowe, Lukas Graham and Finneas have all pulled out, while Sheeran’s touring band Beoga has also quit. Each cited solidarity with Macklemore, Palestinians, or opposition to artists being silenced.

huge misunderstanding of american humor and everything but here's my proposal for the 9/11: two manhattans with a shot of fireball dropped in, and you drop a third shot of fireball in someone else's drink halfway down the bar

Everybody wants to know what happened with that last second in the Michigan game.

Well, let me break it down for the Big Ten.

You see, you got 60 seconds in a minute.

And then you got 15 minutes in a quarter.

You got one clock showing 0:00…

Another clock still holding onto ONE SECOND…

You take all of that, then you add the replay booth to the mix.

And the Big Ten’s chances of explaining it so anybody understands drastically goes down!

Everybody’s been making fun of Steiner Math for years.

But when I tell you 141⅔%, at least you know what the number is.

The Big Ten got clocks doing math that even I can’t explain.

So next time there’s one second left in a Michigan game, forget trying to figure out which clock you’re supposed to be watching.

CALL THE BIG BAD BOOTY DADDY.

I’ll straighten the numbers out.

Because the numbers don’t lie…

AND STEINER MATH DON’T NEED A REPLAY REVIEW.
