Shit was down for like hours. At least for me it was. Did the maintainers make any announcement explaining that? I don't know where to look for that sort of thing

The way I see it, you're probably freest from the ages one to four Around the age of five you're shipped away for your body to be stored They promise education, but really they give you tests and scores And they predictin' prison population by who scoring the lowest

So much of the education system is centered on child abuse and grooming children to accept abuse as adults

Those who understand ecology on a level that doesn't have cheap commodities as a prerequisite understand there's a straightforward solution to this. Restore natural pollinator habitat (fuck your lawn) and stop treating them like slaves.

On the one hand, it's always concerning to see the rise of threats to imprison political opposition.

On the other hand, this is a pivotal moment. This is one of those things that you could lift straight from Andor or the Martian Revolution series or any other radical fiction because it's just cookie-cutter dropped in to so many revolutions of history that it just almost has to happen. The milquetoast electoral reformer gains some success in the light of the horrors of the authoritarian regime, the regime loses its shit and responds with an over-the-top militant reaction, which in turn triggers an actual militant defense capable of breaking the stalemate of liberalism.

In other words, for those of us who want revolution in some form or another, who see the American empire and all empires as systems of oppression, they're playing right into our hands with this response, assuming New Yorkers & Angelinos and other Americans are capable of effective resistance.

One must hope. For the earth. For mankind.

Facial recognition gets more false positives on POC. This is just an excuse to lock up innocent people.

Or you could fire your boss and form a worker cooperative run on consensus based decision making. Worker cooperatives succeed more than "traditional" businesses and have higher pay for their workers^1, despite being at a systemic disadvantage for seed capital. You don't need an ai to boss you around, you and your coworkers can make collective decisions without any boss to speak of.

He's also got plenty of financial incentive to say shit like that. War on all 3 of those fronts would be so untenable with the state of things and he knows that which is why he's advocating for more drones but really? How realistic is that? China's drones are at least as advanced as ours

OK I had to look it up but the joke is "86" as in "get rid of" and 47, that is, Trump

Also a lot of people realizing after the fact how much it tore up their bodies in ways that don't ever get better. Chemical weapons are bad, whether it's because they don't work or that they have lasting side effects.
