JB @jb.caustic.org · 30/09/2026Yes, but mostly due to body autonomy. Even in death our wishes are respected. If you volunteer that fleck of neural tissue, all problems go away (legally). But, these days, we can build organoids from donor stem cells, and check specific function.

JB @jb.caustic.org · 02/08/2026All the other shit is just standard GOP bullshit, which is why Moreno deserves to be chucked in to the void. That he did a broken clock thing is somehow astonishing, though. Like a dog suddenly speaking. 010
JB @jb.caustic.org · 02/08/2026Oh, yeah, Moreno is a spineless loudmouth turd burglar. Always has been, near as I can tell. That he only started speaking about Miller’s shit is likely because he’s personally invested. My issue with BM is he consistently proposes legislation that would strip me of citizenship. 110
