The scam-ridden cryptocurrency industry is spending wildly to elect a Republican senate. Makes sense. So much of what Trump controls -- and he owns the Republicans outright -- has proved to be corrupt.
So NYPD subway cops chasing a man for $2.90 in fare money, shot 4 people, including a bystander and another cop? Cool.🤦🏿♂️
An important thing to know about the subway cops stopping the crime of fare evasion, is:
1) White New Yorkers evade fares more than anyone else.
2) Cops get fired if they stop white fare evaders vs Black or brown fare evaders.🤡

This is what cops mean when they say that the racism is systemic, that the system was not built by cops but by rich men.

'Data Breach' Insurance Policy Does Not Extend to Biometric Information Collection, Appellate Court Holds
One of the jarring things about working in DC is being invited to meetings with policymakers to discuss some highly technical thing and realizing that *everyone* else in the room is a lobbyist for some tech company rather than an actual tech expert. And they're all wondering what *you're* doing there.
The more I learn about the world of money moving around, the more I think most of what people do with it should be banned. From hyper-rapid proposing and retracting trades to saddling companies with the debt incurred to buy them: no, no, no, and hell no.
This is of course a useless thought. Capitalism loves running itself into disasters with games like these.
The USA doesn't have an immigration problem..
we have a xenophobic, white nationalist racism problem...
What "Russki Mir" means:
The idea of the Russian world is the belief that completely different people living in different and in no way connected countries must obey other people living in the Kremlin and fulfill all their demands and orders.

Ok now I definitely need to get a network cable, just to see if something's still living on the far side of these wires.
I mean, there's no chance. None, there is just no way.
But now I have to know.

AI is \*not\* just a tool. It is a pea and thimble game in which a few, very rich people steal our entire cultural and intellectual history, and use it in a way that forever depletes it. It is a way of enclosing the commons. And it's taking us all, the demos, too long to get our collective heads around it because, like the climate, it is so strange to think of it being steal-able that the idea doesn't stick, it doesn't have language to describe and discuss it. 1/3 #AI
Trump has mobilized his violent cult to muzzle people who once would have challenged his contempt for law and basic decency.
Big Journalism, for whatever reason, doesn't think this is much of a story.
That's why we need outlets like Talking Points Memo.
