The first living thing to go through the device was a small white rat. I still have him, in fact. As you can see, the damage was not so great as they say.
This reminds me of a bit from James C. Scott's "Seeing Like a State" where he describes the customary property arrangements developed over generations by rural communities in Southeast Asia. I love it because it kind of shows how wherever you find human beings, you will also find Tree Law (1/ )

Academician Prokhor Zakharov@shake1n1bake.bsky.social · 5h agoMy fav example of ancient societies having thought over tons of legal Qs is the Roman 12 Tables covering ownership of fruit that falls from a tree into a neighbor's land and the proper sentence for throwing an unaimed weapon into a crowd. (The neighbor owns it and a fine of one (1) Ram, btw)
Tell me you don't understand that other people exist who have different lives and experiences than yourself without telling me...

The Athletic@theathletic.com · 7h agoAaron Rodgers spoke out about Dr. Anthony Fauci. Sophie Cunningham spoke out about transgender athletes. Caitlin Clark chose not to weigh in.

It's not "harder to determine". We have centuries of jurisprudence on whose fault it is when an object or machine causes harm.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 21h ago🤯 Rep. Max Miller's interview with Jake Tapper was one of the most self-destructive things I've ever witnessed on cable news. Here's the whole thing:
"I could take a shit in the corner of a room at a dinner party and no-one would notice" is not something that just pops into your head as a hypothetical. This guy has definitely done that.

Academician Prokhor Zakharov@shake1n1bake.bsky.social · 5mo agoBack in the day the "You wanna see a dead body?" Sports YT video was Reggie Bush's high school highlights. He wasn't even bigger than most of the other guys but it's like they were moving in slow-mo.

"Get away from me right now," King, a retired U.S. Army captain who served in Iraq and earned both a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star, can be heard telling the three male guard members in the video as they approach her on the bench. "You have absolutely no authority to detain me."
A veteran was detained by the National Guard in her front yard. Now she's suing
Military veteran and D.C. resident Anna King has filed a $3 million lawsuit against the Idaho National Guard, saying three guard members assaulted her while detaining her in front of her home.

ChatGPT’s role went far beyond giving the accused FSU shooter tips on guns—they chatted about brutally violent sex, how many dead kids would “grab more media attention,” sharing “intimate pictures” with an underage girl and using a Hummer for a deadly explosion www.motherjones.com/media/2026/0... 2x

Its embarrassing how many grown ass adults live in these fantasies where people work for some nonsense like the artificial cultures oligarchs manufacture over survival.
Tongue in cheek. But in all seriousness, this really is the Trump/Hegseth/MAGA/Manosphere theory of war. Both in the literal sense that cartoonish displays of try-hard toughness are key to defeating enemies, and in the meta sense that their war effort prioritizes memes for their domestic audience.

Been waiting for this to bubble up to the surface. Again, any other time in American history when we had functioning news media, this would have been a five alarm scandal. There would be senate hearings. There would be consequences for everyone in the chain of command involved in this.
