It is helpful to remember that even before they were executing white women in their cars, ICE were already nazi scum who abducted people off the streets with no warrant, due process, or system of accountability

In other news, heroin dealers get really upset if you call their product "junk."

When a horse is loose in a hospital, be wary of news reports claiming that the horse has somehow successfully performed a triple-bypass.

Kurt Vonnegut man
Kurt Vonnegut tells his wife he's going out to buy an envelope:
"Oh, she says, well, you're not a poor man.
You know, why don't you go online and buy a hundred envelopes and put them in the closet?
And so I pretend not to hear her. And go out to get an envelope because I'm going to have a hell of a good time in the process of buying one envelope.
I meet a lot of people. And see some great looking babies. And a fire engine goes by.
And I give them the thumbs up. And I'll ask a woman what kind of dog that is. And, and I don't know. The moral of the story is — we're here on Earth to fart around
And, of course, the computers will do us out of that. And what the computer people don't realize, or they don't care, is we're dancing animals. You know, we love to move around.
And it's like we're not supposed to dance at all anymore."

Authoritarians don't willingly cede power. The oligarchs didn't spend billions simply for a brief taste of feudalism. If you're dreaming of comebacks via midterms and elections, you're kidding yourself. It will take an uprising. By trying to prevent it, the democrats are doing their bidding.

I'd like to take this moment to point out the exchange when Troi asks Riker what he wished for, and he just smiles & she gives him this flirty little slap in the arm BECAUSE SHE CAN READ HIS MIND What'd he wish for, Deanna? Hey, hey, what'd he wish for though

So...if, and I'm just saying *if* Musk & Trump were deliberately gutting all safety, security & enforcement apparatus, in order for, oh say Russia, to attack American infrastructure causing nationwide collapse... how would that look different from what's happening?

Obama was the 44th president, because his terms were consecutive. Grover Cleveland's terms were nonconsecutive, so he was the 22nd AND 24th president, like how Trump is the 45th and 47th. You can just look up the list of how many people were president, then subtract Trump, if this math is too hard.

There is nothing in the universe more terrifying than someone you love and trust telling you they're going to hurt you. Locutus is the death of a father, the betrayal of a best friend, and the fall of a beloved institution, all in one horrible moment.

His impatience is strategic. They're overwhelming people with so much horrific shit all at once that everyone gets instantly exhausted & demoralized. Basically shock & awe but with democracy as the enemy. And it appears to be working.

Lest we forget: Data, a character who never fails to remind us he is not human and has no emotions, given the choice of any word in any language in the galaxy, chooses to name his child "Beloved." I'm not crying, we're all crying.

Making it clear they'd rather have a fascist to performatively sneer at than to actually fight and work for the people they claim to represent. People are gonna die. More people than we can imagine. People we love. And they're printing joke slogans on shirts for likes.

my jaw genuinely dropped at how beautiful the new jwst image is.

This is how democracy dies. With one side calmly, obediently following protocol while the other side sharpens their knives. Nobody's storming the Capitol, but rest assured accepting Donald Trump as president is gonna have a higher body count than Jan 6 2021.

Sure. Who knows. My concern isn't "is Adrian Dittman a real person or not," my concern is "is the richest & most powerful man on earth a raving psychotic with nazi sympathies & the mind of a spoiled 13-year-old" His behaviour makes the answer to the latter really clear, regardless of the former.

And while it is entirely possible this is not true & Musk is trolling here, I think we need to acknowledge that that, if true, is just as weird and sad as if he really was creating fake stan accounts & spending hours posting on multiple platforms as them

It’s fun because if there’s an author who got AI exactly right, it’s Adams with the various Sirius Cybernetics Corporation devices. In his books AI is invariably a useless annoyance that is painful to interact with and everyone tries their best to avoid.

i think people are genuinely forgetting that this trans panic has been a very deliberate project by the right for nearly a decade now, starting small, but escalating into what it is now. i think putting this on the one of the least powerful groups in america right now, trans people, is wild
