Damn. This simple truth hits home doesn’t it
Chris Ward@chrisward.de · 3d agoThe reason I've gone more left in recent years is that I previously accepted that we simply couldn't afford decent cheap housing, heavily subsidised transport, a universal basic income, etc. Then in 20 years in politics I saw what we actually could afford. And it's a lot. It's just never for you.

Ice says that these electric gloves are meant to "maintain compliance." Slave owners used to say the same thing about whips. If using shock collars on dogs is Animal Cruelty and Abuse, how is it fine for ICE to use Shock Gloves on people?

During a fire pit gathering last night my young shepherd mix bothered a skunk just outside the fence and got hit with consequences (in the face and chest poor puppy). Here he is after rinsing the de-stink solution. It’s his second skunking . Sigh.
This is Mystique. She is a good dog. She is a rescue. I have watched her chase and (attempt to) bite grizzly bears and tree mountain lions. Mystique is currently hiding in the bathroom because the air fryer timer beeped. You never know what you’ll get when you rescue an animal. #dog #rescuedog

Philomena finds that missing pieces can lead to expanded horizons.
Great book, highest recommendation. Digs deep and wide to uncover and name the harsh truths of the world we live in, creating a vocabulary for understanding the atrocities and a framework for how we can build a better world. It’s rage and revelations and reasons for hope all the way down.

I think "AI" plumpers should be happy I'm focusing mostly on the nonsense it's doing to my field, rather than how it's very clearly designed as a tool for the capture of wealth and capital by a bunch of accelerationist weirdos enthusiastically huffing their own farts from the depth of their K-holes
