Good riddance to a truly pernicious figure.
"She leaves behind a division faltering due to a lack of staffing — more than 75% of the Civil Rights Division was fired or quit during her term." And she shifted its focus to fighting "woke ideology." 🤦♀️

Voting as consumerism is a pernicious social contagion in the United States
I will never stop being stunned at the number of people who treat their vote as a precious little piece of performance art. Yes, this would be better than voting for Rogers. It would, however, be worse than behaving like a responsible and decent adult who understands what voting is meant to do.

"All of this is based on a pernicious lie that both media and political establishments have promoted in Britain: that immigration is responsible for our country’s problems. Not the financial sector, which plunged the country into a disaster from which we have never recovered."

This is an ongoing and pernicious issue with LLMs, makes me more tired than almost anything else
additionally, refusal gets harder when communities see some tech as a way to achieve equity, regardless of whose equity is being taken away to make use possible. the misapplication of “master’s tools” really irks me.

Quite apart from the risk of violence, there’s a thing a lot of women (me included) do where we try to minimise horrible situations by somehow reframing them, telling ourselves it’s our fault or (even more pernicious) that it was somehow a normal sexual encounter.

Bro culture on the left is so pernicious because lefty boy gaslighting (feigned understanding & sympathy, ability to parrot feminism, lip-service paid to women's work that doesn't translate to domestic / private behaviour) is maddeningly difficult to challenge.

this is part of what makes these dark money groups so pernicious. pro-AI super PACs don't run ads that say "hey vote for candidate X because candidate Y opposes AI" they poll test and focus group whatever issue is weakest for the anti-AI candidate and run ads on that instead.
A Bellingcat analysis of video ads purchased by the two largest AI-backed Super PACS has revealed that their political advertisements rarely ever mention their stances on AI, despite the advertisements being paid for by issue-specific PACs. www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/11...

Question 3 is bad on the merits. But it’s especially pernicious in how it takes the energy away from voting reforms with actual grassroots support like ranked choice voting.
“Boston’s history reminds us to ask who gets to set the reform agenda.
I want the people doing the work in our neighborhoods to have a real voice in that decision. And I want Massachusetts to keep moving toward elections where we can rank our choices and vote for the people we actually believe in.”

My first internship in law school was in the capital defender’s office in Virginia. I saw first hand how pernicious and cruel the state judicial system is towards prisoners. This is a huge victory.
Historic result in Virginia: AP has called victory for Amendment 3. This eliminates the state constitution’s exceptionally harsh policy of lifetime felony disenfranchisement, a Jim Crow relic that since 1902 has blocked millions from voting.

I'm definitely not going to say Andy Burnham is worse than Keir Starmer, who was a historic, miserable calamity for this country. but I do find Burnham's amiable bloke-down-the-pub posturing uniquely pernicious when it's providing cover for the breathtaking, pointless cruelty coming from Mahmood

If Burnham does not get shot of Mahmood and her pernicious xeno 'policies', Labour might as well go home.
This shit is definitive, and it is expressive of Labour's current actual moral lack.
