The thing to do is buy this frame, and then buy a much nicer frame to put that picture in.

The problem with every post-Millennial generation is they got to go straight to high speed internet. Of course you'll get computer madness that way. Make them start with those old screeching modems and work their way up

The trove of files released by the Department of Justice, illuminates Epstein’s deep interest and entrenchment in the scientific community. But the files also underscore how he used his power and money in ways that kept women out of places where they might succeed. bit.ly/4qWgPLz

Amazing to live in a country where every day you can watch Republicans gin up issue salience out of nothing but attitude and 4chan posts and a sizeable chunk of people think Democrats' only power is to vote yes or no on bills placed in front of them

And in @thatrebecca1.bsky.social’s authoritative biography of James Cameron ‘The Futurist’, here are James Cameron’s own words on why the T-1000 is a cop and the true danger of our time isn’t tech but dehumanization.
"The Terminator films are not really about the human race getting killed off by future machines. They're about us losing touch with our own humanity and becoming machines, which allows us to kill and brutalise each other. Cops think of all non-cops as less than they are, stupid, weak and evil. They dehumanise the people they are sworn to protect and desensitise themselves in order to do that job."

Fun fact: this is explicitly why Dick Wolf created Law & Order: he violently hates defense attorneys and felt tere weren't enough shows about how defendants and their lawyers are scum (also when somebody "gets off on a technicality" that actually means the cops committed a crime against them)
A tumblr post from telltaletypist: "one particularly sinister way that cop shows use propaganda is portraying defense lawyers as sleazy, opportunistic scumbags for committing the heinous sin of making sure their clients' rights aren't trampled over. cop shows are designed to make you hate your own rights and perpetuate the disgusting idea that only the guilty would try to defend themselves."

The trepidation with which I unmutated this video, in bed at 4 AM, a quick scroll before I sleep. I don’t want to wake the person beside me, but I have to know what the music is. I set the volume as low as possible before tapping the screen, in hopes of diminishing its power.

On a recent visit, I was struck by how almost all the slots were the same few video cabinets. No physical dials or fun sculptural details. The layered transparent screens from a decade ago seem futuristic by comparison.

I once met a man named Jacob. He was in his seventies, a small man, stooped and bent, who looked much older than he was. He was kind and gracious, and was used to people being put off by his posture and size. His story of how he ended up like that is informative. 1/

This is, weirdly, the most purely fascist shit anyone in the administration has said so far - Your health is an asset of the fatherland - Illness is a failure or a moral failing - You have a duty to maintain your health - Healthcare is not a right, it's a finite resource - Die for the fatherland

I had to zoom close in to tell which one is the spider. Amazing disguise. Whenever I’ve spotted an ant mimic irl, the thing that tips me off is it not having the all-business ant attitude.

I don’t give a flying fuck about the stock market that’s happened so many times in my short life; abducting students & citizens off the streets and sending them to black site prisons because of the exercise of their free speech or ethnicity is where we lose our Constitutional rights.
