So #YouTube now has an "Inspiration" tab for creators. Now the mindless mess of misinformation that is #Google #AI can both suggest a topic and create the video. What's the point of the human being around at all? Pretty sure Google is thinking along those lines.

Anyway, the Inspiration tab takes you to this little lovely, to which all I can say is, "No sh*t!"

Great interview! And absolutely, the president's actions aren't "stunts," but the legacy media sure does report on his actions as though they were stunts. His actions are clearly and obviously a mounting autogolpe, and the legacy media should be reporting on it as such...while they still can.

It’s #STFUfriday!

When cops ask you questions, ask for a lawyer and then STFU:

- I am not discussing how I’m doing or where I’m going.

- Am I free to leave?

- I am not answering any questions.

- If they ask to search anything: "I do not consent to a search."

- I want to talk to a lawyer.

The Boston Globe ran this asinine article about how cops can defuse mistrust of cops by starting with why they want to talk.

There are good reasons that cops aren't trusted.

STFU. Lawyer. 🧵

Text from the article: But our new research shows that a simple intervention can quickly put people at ease: a short statement from the officer about why they stopped the person and what they intend to do. Previous research has found that the first 45 words exchanged during a police encounter can predict how the whole scenario plays out. Knowing this, officers can use those earliest moments to neutralize the idea that they’re a threat, prevent escalation, and facilitate a more positive interaction. Police officers start their conversations with a trust deficit, and strategies that usually put people at ease in regular social situations — like joking around — can backfire in situations where there’s a power imbalance. Even a friendly “How are you? Can I talk to you for a minute?” can put people on edge when the officer’s intentions are unclear. Enter the transparency statement. It’s a simple sentence an officer can give at the start of a wide range of interactions with community members — from traffic stops to meet and greets to simply stopping to check on someone who looks cold. The statement quickly and clearly explains why they’ve initiated the interaction. While it sounds simple, our studies with real people and police officers show that a transparency statement can make a difference.

I had the distinctly strange pleasure of making protest signs with my 74-year-old mom today. Here are our signs for the #NoKings march tomorrow.

My mom expressed sorrow that her upcoming international travel will be the first time she's been ashamed to be American. I told her I've always been mildly ashamed of it, and on top of that, I'm ashamed that I've never done anything about it until now.

It's past time to fix this.

Ahem, Newsweek, the entire point here is that people who work for the public (which I have done, and many of of us have) face accountability. You don't get anonymity to abuse your post and other people's rights.

This article has a bunch of nauseating both sides bullcrap, but please be aware that The Crustian Daily (which I've not heard of) is compiling a list of #ICE agents for accountability.
