Sorry, there's no profit to be made, so fuck it.

And it takes some serious mental gymnastics to try shifting the blame to the innocent dead woman, driving at the legal speed limit and in the correct direction.

Never heard of it but it sounds intriguing.

Man, that is one trippy historical turn of events.

Stop by early. You'll be there all day.

Maybe not enough people around the city know about Scarecrow, and what an amazing archive it is. Scarecrow is where you can go when the movie you're looking for isn't streaming, isn't available anywhere else. Access to the history of the movies is what they offer, with maybe more movies in their collection than not.

It's not frickin' Blockbuster, it's important. Anyone who loves movies and has some money should pitch in. SIFF should pitch in; they'd be a good match.

The end of YouTube would not be a terrible outcome. Instead of a worldwide monopoly on DIY video, new and perhaps less evil options would have a chance.

'Qualified immunity' is a genuine piece of judicial activism, a doctrine created from thin air by the Supreme Court, granting almost limitless immunity for almost anything police officers do. It's why lawsuits over most of the worst atrocities by American police get tossed from court.

So it's news when a court notices that a cop's done something so outrageous that a lawsuit will be allowed.

The Pentagon lied and people died — an ordinary day, in other words.

Instead of taking constant screenshots by default, it'll take constant screenshots only for used dumb enough to opt-in, and instead of storing everything in a plain text user-accessible and easily-hackable database, it'll have some level of encryption, probably making it accessible only to Microsoft, cops, and better hackers.

For me, the issue isn't even in the tech; it's in the company. Microsoft produces usually-functional but frustrating software, and has a long track record of tactics that prove it's not trustworthy. The only people who'd opt-in to this software from this company are people who don't know much about this company.

And as always always always happens in cases like this, there's no indication that the officers involved were disciplined in any way.

And they'll win if there's any justice, but we all know that's a huge 'if'.

Biden then said, “And what happened was, Barack said to me, ‘Go to Detroit, and help fix it.’" This is way too deep in the nettles for me to remember or even google; do you have any idea whether that trip to Detroit was about the pandemic, or (like TBD seems to think) about the recession?

Thank goodness for the statute of limitations, man.

Astonishingly, the attacks of 9/11 had little effect on the Saudi approach to religious extremism, as diplomats and intelligence officials have attested. What finally changed royal minds was the experience of suffering an attack on Saudi soil. In May 2003, gunmen and suicide bombers struck three residential compounds in Riyadh, killing 39 people. The authorities attributed the attacks to al-Qaeda, and cooperation with the U.S. improved quickly and dramatically.

Suspicion: The attack was actually planned and/or executed by the CIA or some US agency you've never heard of. RIP, 39 people, but America got the policy cooperation it wanted.

And the Japanese know a thing or two about such things.

Grazi.

Serious question, what's the 'A' stand for?

Saying it twice doesn't make it true. You're a Fox-deluded fool.

Quantum physics makes my uneducated head hurt, but until opening the door I never know whether there's aspirin in the medicine cabinet.
