My guess is that “teenagers” is what was auto-corrected from “covfefe”. ---

The bill is pretty narrow, applying only to footage captured from police body cams. And she’s an idiot, or playing at being one. The controversies about facial recognition are about facial recognition _software_. She’s blathering like it will prevent police from publishing photos of suspects with the hope that someone will recognize them. ---

Banned TikToker and probably soon to be banned YouTuber That Vegan Teacher, a few days ago, decided to post a video advocating for reclaiming the n-word. Which is…unfortunate enough from a white woman, to begin with.

Well, that is good authority! Of course words don’t have intrinsic meaning. No debate needed since it’s axiomatic. But here’s some cites!

Why? It’s a fundamental problem with some people that they think certain things have intrinsic value or meaning. Some of you folks are almost as irrational or ill-informed as the labor theory of value folks. ---
