The office cites more than 125 deaths nationally attributed to e-bikes and e-motos, says injuries in Southern California have risen more than 430% over four years, and says e-bike and e-moto injuries are now the leading reason Orange County children go to the emergency room. Children ages 11 to 14 account for 61.7% of e-moto crashes, according to the state's SWITRS crash database as cited by the office.

"We don't want to have to prosecute parents – we want to save kids' lives," District Attorney Todd Spitzer said in the release.

"We want to save kids' lives" while the OC fights tooth-and-nail against every attempt to make roads safer remotely usable for anyone outside of a car...

All this just screams that there's severely unmet demand for transportation alternatives.

But hey, "we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas. Thoughts and prayers." etc...

History rhymes.

the destruction of Warsaw did not serve any military or colonial purpose; it was carried out solely as an act of reprisal.

German forces dedicated an unprecedented effort to razing the city, destroying 80–90% of Warsaw's buildings, including the vast majority of museums, art galleries, theaters, churches, parks, and historical buildings such as castles and palaces. They deliberately demolished, burned, or stole an immense part of Warsaw's cultural heritage.

I did some searching online and I think this is the story:

Man, also identified as a victim, charged in downtown Cincinnati fight

Video that appears to be early in the confrontation shows a white man and a Black man square off, and then back down. But then the white man slaps the Black man, triggering the melee.

It’s not clear whether that man is the one charged in the incident.

Cincinnati City Council member Scotty Johnson, a former Cincinnati Police officer, said earlier this month he had heard from hundreds of constituents wondering about the lack of charges for the man they see as the instigator.

“Only those investigators in the police department can answer that,” he says. “It’s kind of baffling, but that’s where the answers lie: with them.”

Six of the seven people previously charged face felonious assault and aggravated rioting charges. If convicted, each could face up to around 29 years in prison. The seventh person arrested was charged with aggravated robbery and aggravated rioting, WVXU news partner WCPO reports.

Video of the fight circulated widely on social media, prompting comment from VP Vance and Senator Moreno, as well as Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine to send Ohio Highway Patrol to help CPD.

Guilty pleas as downtown Cincinnati brawl trial set to begin

Videos of the fight went viral on social media. A white man was seen being punched by multiple Black people and falling to the ground, where he is then repeatedly kicked. That man, Alex Tchervinski, was also charged with misdemeanor assault but the charge was dismissed when two witnesses failed to show up to his trial.

Holly was knocked to the ground while attempting to break up the fight.

Its not important to tell where the info came from.

In other words: there’s no point in continuing this conversation. Later 👋

Agreed. The only thing that matters about what anyone says, no matter who it is, is whether the statement is true.

If we discourage anyone from sharing the truth at any time, in any place, then we are only hurting our cause.

Plus being famous is like having a megaphone. Rejecting De Niro’s help here is like bringing a strongly-worded letter to a megaphone fight.

Did you compare this against a reliable source before sharing? If so, could you share a source?

I’m not necessarily disputing these particular factual claims — since I’m on not an expert on this moment in history — but please, please don’t rely uncritically on AI for factual questions.

Edit: a typo

Propaganda 101. They spin it in the beginning:

Some of the workers arrested this month at a Hyundai-LG factory said that although they had entered the United States under murky circumstances, they had always planned to return home.

And then, way further down, they write that there’s no actual evidence that these workers broke any laws:

U.S. and South Korean authorities have not disclosed the visa details for the 317 Koreans who were arrested on Sept. 4. But five of the six engineers The Times interviewed were on six-month B-1 visas, which allow consulting with business associates. One traveled on the 90-day visa-waiver program called the Electronic System for Travel Authorization, or ESTA, which allows travel for business or pleasure. They ​all said they were on business trips since they were being paid by their employers back in South Korea.

It is true that “apology” is an overloaded term that can mean many things, depending on context.

You’ve stripped away the context (and therefore bent the word’s meaning here). The substance of what MAGA wanted was an expression of remorse. They thrive on instilling fear and shame in others. They loath details and nuance.

Lexical gymnastics don’t change the simple fact that Kimmel (1) did not express shame for what he said and instead (2) reiterated useful details and nuance. Both of these things oppose the MAGA movement, and that’s a good thing.
