For context: In the US, CBP can search your phone without a warrant if you live within 100 miles of a border or coast (2/3rds of the population).

I honestly thought it was going to be Adams, but I definitely knew it wasn't going to happen.

Berkeley has had an encampment on campus since April 22nd and hasn't sent in the cops.

As always, with protests like this, the violence always begins with cops.

Literally how some phone scammer convinced my grandma to buy hundreds of dollars worth of iTunes gift cards.

Computers, they're just like us!

Israel already did their strike, and it actually had casualties!

Iran's strike was the symbolic one.

Oppressed people support other oppressed people.

It's called solidarity, sweaty.

It's a top down problem. The universities didn't invent it. For years, candidates have campaigned on "lrn2code" so much so that we make fun of it here. They weren't saying that to bring new perspectives or art to the discipline. They were saying it because tech jobs have basically become the only path to the middle class. Small wonder, then that enrollment situations are what they are.

I graduated from UC Berkeley's College of Engineering with a CS degree right as the recession hit. Even then, I could see the demographics of my classmates trending away from your typical nerds who just like being on the computer into guys who were just after a paycheck.

Point being, like everything, this is a systemic issue. Give people one path out and they'll take it. The US economy is basically just giant business conglomerates and tech companies. Myopic capitalism has led us to this.

The US was considered reliable because, until Trump, both parties had identical foreign policy.

Internet communists when there is never any revolution so all their obnoxious internet arguments were for naught.

This shit is so boring.

Sounds like Ryan and Gonzalez's effort to circumvent democracy is on ice for now.

Some great displays of carbrain in this article.

DeSeta also likened one of the groups advocating for the open street, Transportation Alternatives, to the National Rifle Association.

β€œTA is a multi-million-dollar not-for-profit lobbying organization. And you know what non-profit lobbyists could be? NRA is a not-for-profit, so, ya know, not-for-profit is a loosey-goosey term,” she said.

...

Like DeSeta, Herb Alter, who lives at 103rd Street and West End Avenue, objected, as many opponents typically do, to the "process" by which decisions were made when he was otherwise engaged. During the pandemic, he said, he and his ill wife decamped to their East Hampton second home β€” and the first he had heard about the open street was at the local dog run upon his return to the city last year.

Basically, a bunch of 70 year-old rich white people who live in a neighborhood where 73% of people do not own cars are trying to get rid of some intense traffic calming the city did during Covid because they lost 13 parking spaces.

It boggles the mind that there are people who live in Manhattan and choose to own cars without a dedicated place to keep them.
