When people die and the media says they had “pre-existing conditions”… they’re pacifying the public. Anyone could die from Cyclosporiasis, but they want you to believe it can’t happen to you. It can only happen to the weak, the disabled, the elderly. The expendable people. Eugenics.
Two Deaths Linked to Cyclospora Outbreak in Michigan
The patients had “significant underlying health conditions” that may have contributed to their deaths, health officials said.

In 1995, three American soldiers kidnapped and raped a 12 y.o. Japanese girl in #Okinawa. I remember this case vividly because I was the same age then. There have been 100+ rapes by American servicemen on the island from 1972 to 2009. And there are almost 40 American military bases in Asia.

I think a lot about how 21st century fascism and the male grievance politics it channels is about men feeling like they don't get away with rape enough already.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and Joan Sebastian Guerrero weren't murdered because of car pursuits. They were murdered because the men driving those cars felt comfortable recklessly killing. None of this ends until we shut down ICE completely.

Maybe they're acting on it *more*, but as a person who has more than my fair share of gyn problems, it's nowhere near enough. I had an embedded IUD for years and no one believed me. And every endo med I've been offered was developed in the last 10 years.

Today Microsoft moved all its GitHub copilot subscribers to token-based billing. If you want to see what happens when people have to pay the actual costs of AI, the day is finally here. It's obvious that every customer sees the deep, meaningful value and isn't angry at all.
A year before I lost my job because my boss was obsessed with AI. I told everyone that using them was fine but to be aware the true cost was hidden and not to become reliant on them because it's a product not a technology. Anyway I hope my boss goes broke trying to replace me with a bad computer.
