I think this is an excellent view on vengeance from a mostly non-religious perspective.

An intense read, and goes to the long term physical and psychological damage for shooting survivors.

Bold. And they put it on the front page. But our system is set up for any such attempts to fail.

I've linked to this far too many times, but it continues to be apt.

Fascinating! Also this is the best headline I've seen in months.

We have a responsibility to these people.

Good summary.

I've certainly benefited from this inequality.

Yes.

Interesting historical analysis that focuses on the failures of the German left to recognize and unite in opposition against the National Socialists. They seem to be trying to connect the situation then with the plight of workers now, but the Great Recession was a very different beast and unions are nearly crippled at least in the US.

So many people fail to understand the difference between censorship and counterspeech.

These kind of inflammatory headlines make a good point: climate change remains too abstract for us to see as a threat in the same way as nebulous fears of terrorism.

Great points, and it starts with listening.

I'm not sure which Republican orthodoxy is more dangerous, but climate change denial is certainly up there in the long term.

I think tech is part of the solution, but it only slows hurtling towards the cliff, and doesn't address the aspect of uneven impacts of climate change. I do think a carbon tax would help individuals overcome their selfish interests to accurately price carbon costs.

For someone who was apparently an experienced con man, Johnson as Bielefeld didn't really cover his tracks well.

This is a good and personal perspective on the impact of Bielefeld's lies for women online.

I get the point but I'd appreciate it without the couch potato metaphor.

Glad this hasn't happened to Theo... But I expect it's only a matter of time.

Good points, and I'm sure I was clueless for a long time. I identify TNG as emphasizing inclusiveness and equality, but it did this without representation, which is a problem. I think this connects to how my multicultural education growing up similarly emphasized equality but didn't actually consider things from a non-white perspective.

I can't even with this prescriptivism.

I think there are some correlation/causation issues here, but overall the point about how much the US economy has shifted to favor certain cities is huge. I've run into this somewhat with the resistance to having remote workers.

In not surprised that regulatory capture (by unions and contractors) is a big part of why projects metastasize. I wonder if this contributes to cavalier attitudes in tech community? Fascinating details on the system. I wonder if it's Turing complete...

Interesting read. I had the experience of always wanting kids, which is a little odd for dudes.

Pretty strong circumstantial evidence, but not much more than what I had seen on Twitter.

Makes sense to me. I know I don't feel the need to binge, but could - and it's pretty easy to pause at a scene break and come back later.

This is an astounding story that I'd heard bits and pieces of. We badly need a law enforcement recourse for Internet harassment (since it's international), and every SWAT member should know what a swatting is and what it looks like.

Oof. So many terrible decisions driven by the car and racism.

Convincing. I guess you'd maybe want a quick moderator check of any novel input?

Cool to see a nerd succeed just by being nerdy. Love The Way Things Work shout out.
