back in 2003 a newspaper gave everyone running for mayor of san francisco the voight-kampff test, including gavin newsom.

quote:

The Wave: Reaction time is a factor in this, so please pay attention. Now, answer as quickly as you can.

It’s your birthday. Someone gives you a calfskin wallet. How do you react?

Gavin Newsom: I don't have anything to put in it. I would thank them and move on.

TW: You've got a little boy. He shows you his butterfly collection plus the killing jar. What do you do?

GN: I would tell him to… You know what? I wouldn't know how to respond. How's that for an answer? Is this a psychological test? I'm worried…

TW: They're just questions, Gavin. In answer to your query, they're written down for me. It's a test, designed to provoke an emotional response.

GN: Oh, I got you.

TW: Shall we continue?

GN: Sure.

TW: You're watching television. Suddenly you realize there's a wasp crawling on your arm. How would you react?

GN: I would quietly sit and wait for the wasp to move to the next victim.

TW: You're in a desert walking along in the sand when all of the sudden you look down, and you see a tortoise, Gavin, it's crawling toward you. You reach down, you flip the tortoise over on its back, Gavin. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can't, not without your help. But you're not helping. Why is that, Gavin?

GN: [Immediately] Not a chance. I would never flip the tortoise over in the first place.

TW: Describe in single words, only the good things that come into your mind. About your mother.

GN: Ethics. Commitment. Sacrifice.

CONCLUSION: Almost too close to call. Almost. Newsom displays a defensiveness when his empathy is questioned. He's aware that he's being probed for emotional responses, and even expresses concern about this. However, this concern is alleviated a little too easily by our crafty V-K interviewer. Newsom is definitely a replicant. Probably a Nexus 5.

I think I've mentioned it here before, but the NYPD are the most utterly useless cops I've ever had to talk to. A friend in NYC posted "911" in a group chat after (it turned out) her abusive now-ex had hit her and her <1year old child. After an hour or two trying to find any emergency services in NYC who would answer the phone, they checked with the abusive partner that everything was OK and told him that I had called out of concern. They called me back to confirm this with me.

Oh, and I was the 4th or 5th person to call the women who called before asking me to try in the hope that they would listen to a man were brushed off and dismissed.

A woman tried to get the NYPD to come to her place via intermediary friends because her (now ex) boyfriend had physically abused both her and her child. When those friends finally did manage to get in touch with the NYPD, all the NYPD did was call the house and ask the man who was abusing them if stuff was fine and let them know someone had called out of concern of abuse in the house. I'm sure you can realize why this is less than stellar.

The NYPD also sexually assaulted so many teens in their custody that NYS had to make a law saying you couldn’t gently caress people who called 911 while on the clock and a bunch of cops threatened to quit over it. This was in 2013, I was working with homeless youth in Philly at the time and was doing research on those kinds of laws. NYPD are SS style hosed up thugs and I hope they all get COVID and die from Hog-Rot.

that video the NYPD union put out of a kid walking up to a man with a clip board and lightly hitting him with a stick, causing the fat guy to fall over in pain. then the kid stands there awkwardly looking at the camera for a moment before slowly backing up and turning to lightly jog away as two cops also lightly jog after him, but much slower.

my friend linked me an arrest record supposedly linked to this incident as evidence it was real and not staged. I am too stupid to know how to follow up on that now but am a little curious if they eventually just dropped charges on this brutal assailant, or maybe he had been picked up for something worse and the cops made him star in their video? idk

To clarify, they didn't just say someone had called, they specifically told him who had called.

The radlib response to the Trump vs Biden debate, which went beyond sighing only at Trump, but fell short of saying Biden sucks too, so they settled for the tone of "what a sad state of affairs", as if something more nebulous was poisoning the entire political process.

(I did not watch the debate, and I was pretty much in "gently caress You; You Had Your loving Chance" mode reading all the tweets.)

That first Biden/Trump debate was one of the most insane things I have ever watched live.

The initial media response was more just one huge "well WTF was that" because it really surpassed expectations as to how cooked it was. I think I watched a CNN stream and the panel they cut to where just sitting in stunned silence.

The best the political establishment could provide the people of the USA was 2 septegenarians shouting at each other in confusion and anger while the moderator pleaded for calm.

It ruled.
