so ... when do you actually use jury nullification if you can't ever actually say those words?

Or do you just acquit them by saying insufficient evidence, as you mentioned?

Why would a professional hitman engrave their bullets though

Man that techno music really sets the tone

I was just informed of the existence of Buckees yesterday. It seems like a real world nightmare.

A friend of mine works marketing, so exactly the type of person who you'd think would love AI. While they do love aspects of it, they say that pretty much half their job now is just sifting through AI generated slop. And you can always tell, ChatGPT especially has a certain je ne sais quoi about the way it writes.

The worst part about it as far as capitalism fucking it up and using it in the worst way possible is that regarding art and content: they don't want a masterpiece, they just want something that's good enough. So even if a real artist or writer could do a much better job, they're going to pick whatever costs them the least and makes them the most.

For real, I've never seen such a huge mass radicalisation event occur in my lifetime. Correct me if I'm wrong but the Gaza solidarity protests seems like the biggest protest movement in human history.

What's beautiful about it too is that - with the exception of Palestinean diaspora participants - very few of these protesters have any skin the the game. They do not benefit in any capacity from protesting, it's all stemming from pure solidarity and love for humanity.

I gotta say, I did not expect the one that looks like an orange/green tentacle monster attacking the city, nor the big fuck-off cardboard box eclipsing the entire skyline

you left out the most important detail: the company administrating it is an Israeli intelligence firm

That is an excellent point, actually. I was reflecting more on this, wondering why already-existing platforms like YouTube do not serve the same purpose. I think it's quite clearly the algorithm that is fundamentally different.

The West™ controls the youtube algorithm, and ensures that most often most people get directed into reactionary or liberal content. TIkTok is out of their hands entirely, and shows people what they want to or are interested in seeing, whether that is Gaza, socialist videos, or whatever else.

Also small business owners just like to fucking complain about dumb pointless bullshit and they are the very first people the local media goes to interview for basically any story.

For some reason they're worshipped as the most important people in any municipality, even though they're the most callous penny-pinchers.

Basically every single act of evil, every war crime, every massacre, every coup against a democratically elected government that the USA was involved in post WW2 he was involved somehow.

Very rarely can you point to single individuals for being responsible for so many deaths, but he is one of them. I would reckon easily 2-3 million people dead because of him.
