Yesterday, a Manhattan jury acquitted former Marine Daniel Penny of criminally negligent homicide in the subway death of Jordan Neely, following the presiding judge’s Friday afternoon dismissal of a related, second-degree manslaughter charge. While the NYT described the case as polarizing, and Neely as a mere “subway rider,” rather than a violent lunatic with a history of battery and kidnapping who threatened to kill a car full of people, commenters mutinied, arriving very close to unanimous approval with the court’s decision. There are of course a few detractors — Neely’s father, who is currently suing Penny in civil court, expressed sadness for the son he neglected over the last decade, while BLM co-founder Hawk Newsome seemed to threaten Penny’s life. But, in general, America is over the Joker shit, and the mob is no longer calling for chaos. It’s calling for justice. Our public officials would do well to listen.

After OpenAI announced a new partnership with Anduril to protect Americans from drone attacks, some employees raised concerns about the ethics of AI militarization. One employee is worried the deal will hurt OpenAI’s reputation, while another noted “the fictional AI system Skynet, which turns on humanity in the Terminator movies, was also originally designed to defend against aerial attacks on North America.” With parallels to Google’s Pentagon-aligned Project Maven — whose internal protests actually dinged the company’s brand — this might feel like a familiar story of woke tech workers posturing against the country that coddles them, but the ethics of AI weapons use are admittedly complicated. Still, while the doomer case is frightening, our enemies play by their own rules. And this isn’t Hollywood, so if you have a compelling case against AI tools built to intercept NYC-bound nukes, you’re gonna need a better argument than a movie literally tailor-made to terrify you.

A prominent Defund The Police activist went viral after complaining the cops aren’t doing enough about her stolen U-Haul in San Francisco, posting a bizarre tweet storm that included rants about “SFPD’s inactivity on a grand theft auto,” demands for mayor London Breed to enforce GPS tracking on trucks, and claims that “if this were [the new mayor’s] uhaul it would have been found by now.” Obviously, the internet immediately found her old posts saying “the police are a fascist institution,” making for a classic dunk-on-the-commies Christmas moment. But it also reminded me most leftists are simply misguided creative geniuses hiding their light beneath the bushel of political activism. This woman’s tweets are art, and her dramaturgy is next level. After roasting her mercilessly we should pardon her, in my opinion, pass her that Hunter Biden peace pipe, and lead her lost soul back into the blackbox theater where it belongs.
