The original argument from the article was about a concern that the police were using these videos to target offenders based not on the seriousness of the crime, but on the social status of the victim. My argument spoke directly to that issue. It was an extreme (but perfectly true) example, but there are many millions…

There’s a dude serving life in Angola right now for stealing a pair of hedge clippers. You’re going to tell me that that would still have happened if he’d been a rich old white lady from the old-money part of New Orleans, and his victim had been a poor young black man? I think the fact that it was the other way around…

I didn’t write that headline. "Fascinating" is what I went with.

Also, these conversations always seem to miss the fact that sometimes an abortion is needed because the fetus isn’t viable. Sometimes abortion is the only moral, merciful choice. These limits on abortion access can put people in the position of having to give birth to babies with no chance at survival, which is cruel…

THIS is why we have to defund the police. The funds and access the PD are using would be used so, so, SO much better by a team of social workers and community advocates. Rather than lying in wait until they become criminals, we could actually intervene and help at-risk students avoid the school-to-prison pipeline.

This response pushed my buttons, so I rewrote it.

Just gonna hazard a guess here...this ACAB PD will have a Juvenile Hall and/or local prison, both for-profit, that they are incentivized to keep filled to capacity. This is your actual school to jail pipeline, documented.

It’s not confusing, it’s just a way for them to make more money. Magsafe “wireless” charge is literally a restricted version of 15W Qi wireless charge. You still have to use your hand to remove the cable, may as well use a 20W lightning to top it off faster.

Maybe you should just loudly announce your exit from from Jalopnik and join Parler.

If you have to buy all your equipment from a single company in order to easily use an industry standard charging method then it’s unnecessarily complicated.

Liking cars does not mean you have to like vaguely racist, quite imperialist ‘entertainment’ that has not evolved in any way since 2005 or so.

I can’t be the only person who assumes at this point that there’s some kind of deplorable exploitation of labor (above and beyond overworking or underpaying people with little or no protections) occurring in the supply chain of basically every product anywhere. Whether it’s in the extraction of the resources used to…

We have to start doing something about the ingrained caste system we’ve fucking developed here. BEGIN RANT:

I have almost always assiduously avoided palm oil primarily for my own health. And that it was a deeper problem was always in the back of my mind. The blind truth is almost always worse than we know. Americans really need to be more aware of and about their/our consumer choices.

73,555,909 people see no issue with this. 

I have this marked in my calendar for a just-me night this Friday while the rest of the fam binges some episodes of The Crown S.04 and I will absolutely be high as a kite for it.

C’mon Joe, you love Amtrac so much, give us high speed coast to coast rail.

I comment I never expected to read on Gizmodo.  Looks more like a youtube or dailymail comment.

My dad was a firm believer in the power of the Blue Wrench. Any bolt that gave him any effort got the Blue Wrench. I think he might have been a fire bug.
