Cities’ Efforts to Hold Police Accountable Hit a Wall: The Police | Civilian oversight boards face resistance across the country from those they are supposed to monitor.
  • Well, the board doesn't have any actual power? That seems flawed, if the board is supposed to hold the police accountable, I see no way that's possible without some power. Like removing the asshole police chief that thinks his department is above being held accountable.

  • The hidden potential of bicycles
  • Electric catrs still pollute massively. Mainly tire and break dust (more than ICE cats because they are heavier). Nevermind that cars dependency is terrible and unsustainable (both economically and environmentally). Make cities for people not cars.

    Plus show me one example of where car dependency has worked. It's always "just add more lanes". Yeah just ask Texas how their 26 lane highway is going.

    Plus we don't need to be paving over airable farmland for people cosplaying as rural folk. We have about 5 parking spots for every single car in the United States. Seems like a great use of land.

  • Tucker Carlson: Putin takes charge as TV host gives free rein to Kremlin
  • How do you feel about Russia's deep oil pockets now that Ukraine is going after their refineries and porta? Do you think Russia can continue to advance or hold ground while also defending large swaths of the western part of Russia? Genuinely curious

  • FCC bans AI-generated voices in robocalls that can deceive voters
  • Unfortunately, the FCC probably doesn't have the power to do much more than fine them. It would probably take congress to pass a bill to have jail time or something.

    I'm purely guessing though

    Reading the article, it sounds like the FCC has enforced similar stuff before. And at up to a $23,000 fine it could add up quickly. And the precedent of previous large fines makes me think this might actually have some teeth.

  • Sotomayor says she feels ‘frustration’ daily as conservative justices move US to right
  • They should also probably be held to some ethical standards, but that's too much for the nation's most powerful court/justices. Nevermind the US code of conduct says justices are to avoid even the appearance of impropriety.

    But who needs a functional government or justice system? It's just keeping big business from making even more money, and destroying the planet faster.

  • Microsoft Fixes Excel Feature That Forced Scientists to Rename Human Genes
  • Microsoft fixed something and made their products better!? I don't believe you.

    I wonder if this will fix any of my issues with excel molesting my data. It will either round my part numbers from a BoM making it useless or removing preceding zeros which breaks our inventory importing.
