Oof. McGinty went out of his way to defend those murderous officers.

Great points on creative legacy from Ramis' daughter.

Good criticism from Nick on people believing too much in Autopilot safety claims

Shouldn't be surprising that most of the key moments in US electoral history have pivoted on race. A lot of interesting trivia I didn't know about specific elections that were generally deemed too minor to cover in AP US.

Sounds pretty similar to the identity crisis here. Also a kind of arbitrary point for ethnic identity — includes Angles, Saxons, and Normans.

So much hate :o(.

It's even worse than a regressive sales tax.

Our police reflect our collective interest in oppressing non-white Americans.

Decent overview of what the protests are about. I like that Deray disclaims idea that he's a leader.

Hahahahah

No pulling punches or "both sides tho" here!

Striking how different a style she seems to have from Bill or Barack. She's going to make a great President.

Interesting idea, though kinda rooted in gender stereotypes.

Exactly. It's that women using qualifiers are seen differently (and more submissively) than when men do the same.

I love that we can estimate how loud an event was just from pressure changes

This is a really great breakdown of the ways to interpret the phrase. I'm familiar with entailment, but I'd never heard of scalar implicature.

Also iconic. I get the objection that it's too soon to judge the historical significance, but the framing is just too good.

This sounds like good advice. I think I internalized most of this, but also the feeling of taboo and that there are differences to the point of making me not able to speak on the issues.

I think I agree with the premise, that effort is being wasted on silly apps, but I'm unclear what her confusion is.

We're all in this together.

Slightly Luddite, but good points about memory, the perception of time, and boredom, especially with regards to smart phones.

3x the risk unarmed black vs. unarmed white, and roughly the same risk unarmed black vs. armed white.

Have to actually take action, not just check your privilege. I am vocal but inactive a lot.

Yup. Less guns means less easy violence.

Worth the long read. I think the most interesting part is how supporters are happy to hate in general but can rarely bring themselves to hate an individual.

Some overlap with Campaign Zero. Good ideas that will be hard to implement.

Cool! Can't wait to see what Juno returns.

Scary thought, but a trend reflected in fear and militarization.

Interesting; I had always had the sense of selection bias, that only really motivated people bother to leave a positive or negative review.

No matter what he believes, he has not been trying to live a Christian ideal. A lot of conservative Christians are accepting in spite of this because they want a Republican President.
