~700000 police in the US. ~1100 civilians killed by police annually. ~250 of these civilians are Black. in 2019, 14 of these ~250 were unarmed. ~16400 victims of homicide in the US annually. ~7300 Black victims of homicide annually. Cops aren't the problem, availability bias is.
I miss the days when the genetic fallacy was recognized as a fallacy.
"[Democracy] failed because the people had been led to believe that they could simply vote for whatever they wanted - and get it, without toil, without sweat, without tears." Robert Heinlein, Starship Troopers
"We are living in a period of competing moral certitudes, of people who are awfully sure they’re right and fully prepared to be awful about it. Hence the culture of cancellations, firings, public humiliations and increasingly unforgiving judgments." nypost.com/2021/02/11/rea…
Scale is important. Since February of 2020: In US: 25-50 deaths during protests 20,000 total homicides worldwide: 0.4M - homicide 1.5M - suicide 2.3M - Covid-19 17.9M - heart problems ~55M - total Can we get an emergency international effort to solve some of these other causes?
So how didn't the "occupy wall st" folks figure out this neat hedge fund trick?
A bit concerned about the number of congresspeople who are using the genetic fallacy to sway popular opinion against an old law. "Jim Crow Filibuster" - attack it on its own merit, please.

Amazon offers to help Biden administration with COVID vaccine distribution usatoday.com/story/tech/202… via @USATODAY. I've no idea whether this was floated during the previous administration.
The military has a great system in place for free tuition. Only catch is that they get to say if your degree is worth it, they select an extracurricular activity for you, and you have to work for them for 4-8 years afterwards depending on the program. Should we expand it?
nymag.com/intelligencer/… and usatoday.com/in-depth/news/… share wildly different takes and propose wildly different information. Only one lauds "a politically sensitive investigation".

NDAA: "Even with the outrage and disappointment many of us feel, we need to find the good in our co-workers, our friends, and, our families. Listen to them. Attempt to process different perspectives. As we always do, look for opportunities to educate both yourself and others."
Ahead of the Ugandan election, we're hearing reports that Internet service providers are being ordered to block social media and messaging apps. We strongly condemn internet shutdowns – they are hugely harmful, violate basic human rights and the principles of the #OpenInternet.
Something to think about
Macchiavelli: "it is certain that when the enemy comes upon you in divided cities you are quickly lost, because the weakest party will always assist the outside forces and the other will not be able to resist." Let's try to de-escalate before it's too late. Riots are bad.

@luukeski If you were a true fan you’d know that was from the trip to the moon, where there was zero gravity. So she actually only lifted about 10 pounds

My dad died when I was 8. Every week a few of the dads on my hockey team would offer to tie my skates. Not in a big showy way, in a quiet kind way. They filled the gap. Find a way to fill the gap for someone. It’ll make you both better.
@Timcast Calling for violence against any group of people is where the line should be drawn if you are going to draw any line at all.
Wait a second.. just rolled over to Starbase City in a self driving car, to see the first of a futuristic fleet of Starship prototypes to successfully land, and greeted by a robotic dog. Mind blown. Living in the future. Thx @elonmusk

Though pushed, tested, and threatened throughout the 2020 election, our democracy proved to be resilient, true, and strong. My Campaign Advisor Bob Bauer and General Counsel Dana Remus shared their thoughts on how the will of the people prevailed. joebiden.com/the-protection…

Seems to me, if you can get the citizens of a Democracy to no longer agree on what is objectively true in the world, then you have conquered them with all the strength of an invading army.
@Timcast Basic human right, behave. Its a platform for bollocks. I could happily go back to life without it in a heart beat. The world would be a better place without it. Especially given the current way which everything is polarized and people driven apart by it.
Alabama has already scored more points in the first half against Ohio State than they did in the entire Notre Dame game. I guess Ohio State doesn’t deserve to be there.
