My personal opinion is that blocking highways should be illegal in all circumstances, that protestors should have been jailed the first day they did so, and that the weak initial response to this protest is what gave it life. A stronger response would have prevented a multi-week blockade in the first place.

The internet is where everybody gets to feel smart, but nobody comes 2 months later to get graded on their work.

You should get that fever checked. Could be covid.

The cowards are using children as human shields, and you’re defending them. Fuck you.

That’s becasue you haven’t. Seen a peaceful protest, that is.

I’m sure Erin fully researched Amazon’s direct involvement in these flights.

“Amazon bought nearly 20 percent of a cargo logistics company called ATSG for $131 million in March, 2021. ATSG operates multiple airline subsidiaries, one of which, Omni Air International, moves human beings for the federal government.”

I think the real story here is how Tesla can do recalls over the air. But of course this is Jalopnik so if it’s Tesla it’s gotta be terrible.

People who don’t know how to use google and don’t follow Zendaya are upset over this.

A quick search for “Zendaya 2016 Humane” and you can find this image:

She doesn’t apologize. Kanye still plays Coachella. Says she apologized. 

The mask is to protect other people - just like they do during surgery. By catching larger droplets they also catch the ones carrying the largest numbers of virus particles and allow more time for the inevitable breakdown of those particles outside their ideal environment.

It’s clear the author’s opinion was formed before the event started. Yes he watched it... to gather his list of negativity.

That’s a big word to use - and awfully insulting. But it’s clear there no room for nuance or legitimate ethical debate in your mind. It’s all black and white. And whatever benefit received by thousands of ship builders and workers in associated industries as a consequence of this - particularly during the economic…

The fact that a person can actually perceive complex ethical decisions, and acknowledges that good governance occasionally means having to make hard decisions because they’ll benefit the greatest number of people doesn’t make a person a ‘sociopath’.  

Frankly, not really, no. Their history isn’t being ‘dismantled’, it’s being temporarily deconstructed and then reconstructed to allow a ship to pass. Is their council backtracking on an earlier promise? Yeah, sounds like it. Could they be kicked out of office as a result? Yep for sure. Is it possible that council…

All PD’s should be totally controlled by civilian boards with DA and Police agents acting as advisors. Also, any damages resulting from police misconduct should be taken from the department’s pension fund. No funds from seizures/forfeiture/fines should ever make their way into the PD’s budget (nor that of the…

This should come out of funds held by the police union, not the city.

Award them twelve million, and take it out of the police pension fund. That is the only way cops will ever start cleaning house.

Erin was fired from Wirecutter, a product review outfit that is owned by the New York Times. She claimed to be a journalist with the New York Times in her non-work related voicemail tirades but to be clear, she was not employed as a journalist for the Times. She wanted to fluff up herself as being so important in…
