When someone survives an execution, they should be released. That's on the state.

I still cannot believe self driving cars are on the road today and none of then have passed a driving test. We already have a way of certifying that you can drive. Why should billionaire corporate robots get special treatment?

Today I’m thinking a lot about the theory of ironic requirements I’m developing. I personally would feel a lot better about the death penalty if the judge who sentenced her to death had to be executed first. I don’t trust any process made for other people.

This is really what gets me. There’s so much energy put into fake problems justified with “protecting women and girls”, but when it comes to actual violence against women the wider culture has no time for that.

Sometimes you just need to stop and remember than in America, politicians can lend their campaign money and then pay themselves back plus an illegally high interest rate with donations they get after the campaign ended. I swear that if Americans knew how their politics worked they would be so mad.

I think we should bring jousting back but only for billionaires. Make it a prestige thing. It will stimulate local economies, suck up billionaire money, and most importantly give them something to do. It’s dangerous enough that they have to take it seriously.

Transphobes are so pathetic. How far does a human being have to call, that they can’t have a single conversation with another human being and come to an understanding. Imagine needing the government to step in to your kids after school sports team to make sure you get exactly what you want.

I am still obsessed with this guy. I think he's the best character anyone has ever come up with. I know it's tall order, but I do think the entire comic should be reoriented around him. I just want to see him turning various small objects into animals.

I'm thinking about Hunter X Hunter. There's a reoccurring dynamic, between a serious and cautious character and a fun and reckless character. The fun character is reliably stronger. They prove themselves stronger by taking risks that the more cautious character wouldn't.

Speaking of Harry Potter, I resigned from my position at Universal Studios a month ago over all of the Wizarding World/JKR shit. I am now paying my bills and paying for a wedding purely thru YouTube and Patreon. I loved working at USH. I was very conflicted leaving. Fuck Joanne.

All this debating about free speech and exactly where we should draw the line when it comes to academic frauds who engage pseudoscience is exactly what fascism wants. We know how university debates about free speech with bad actors goes, and we shouldn't play into it.

School lunches are a good example of how meritocracy creates dystopia. What is more just? Every kid gets to eat or creating two categories of kids, those who deserve to eat and those who don't, then policing the boundaries of these groups to ensure everyone gets what they "deserve"?

Carney says “lecturing from afar” on human rights is ineffective. He should know: men much like him have ensured it stayed ineffective. But tellingly, he proposes no alternative approach. There's no "here's what might work better." Carney's 🇨🇦 simply no longer tries. 🧵1/ www.cbc.ca/player/play/...
American asshole president Donald Trump stands beside Canadian asshole prime minister Mark Carney. Trump looks bored and mildly annoyed while Carney smiles big and raises his fist.

Over Trump, there is text: "Doesn't value soft power, diplomacy, compassionate foreign aid, defence of human rights, or peacekeeping. Believes military & economic power is all that's needed."

Over Carney, there is also text: "Apparently, this guy agrees with him."

Both of them are genocide supporters.

In the United States the streets are actually strewn with gold; all you have to do is stoop and pick it up. I did not even have to stoop down to pick up the gold. In 1920 it was actually tossed into my lap; not by the pennyweight and with a teaspoon, but in large lumps and with a steam shovel.
"Go and make a fortune and then come back,"—had urged my elders—just like that and just as if amassing a fortune in America was something which could not be helped. "You can't miss it,"—they had insisted to overcome my hesitancy. "In the United States the streets are actually strewn with gold; all you have to do is stoop and pick it up." The events of later years showed that there was more truth than poetry in my elder's forecast. In fact, it has been my experience that I did not even have to stoop down to pick up the gold. In 1920 it was actually tossed into my lap; not by the pennyweight and with a teaspoon, but in large lumps and with a steam shovel.

Personally, I think what needs reckoning with is how fake it all was. Centrists convinced themselves annoying leftists on twitter were an equivalent threat to Jan 6 insurrectionists. They wildly inflated the threat of left-wing authoritarianism while ignoring how it was taking hold on the right.

I swear the political divide in America is between people who understand how the legal system works and those who don‘t. I really believe that if you explained to the American people that like, the right to remain silent doesn’t mean you can remain silent they would be upset.

I guess mine has to be undertale. I have never felt so betrayed by a game. The store page says that you can play as a pacifist, but if you do that on your first play through. Not only are you locked out of the pacifist ending, but you are entirely underleveled for the normal end boss fight.

When They Insist Upon the Torment Nexus

or: your car should not drive you to jail

MARGARET KILLJOY

JUL 29, 2026

A few weeks ago, a self-driving Waymo-brand taxi in San Mateo, California delivered two children into the hands of the police. The machine determined that its two 15-year-old passengers were drinking and shooting toy guns, so it contacted the police, drove itself to a parking lot, and turned itself off. The children were then apprehended by the armed men (and possibly women), who graciously decided that instead of caging the teenagers, they could be returned to their parents. This time.

Nearly every article I've read on the matter really wants to emphasize the fact that the children were not locked into the car, that they were free to leave. That the two fifteen years olds were free to leave from a random parking lot, god knows how far from home. As if that makes it alright.

And I read a lot of articles about the incident, because at least a dozen people tagged me in the stories or messaged me about it. Because in 2015, Vice published a short story of mine called One Star, about a nonbinary graffiti artist trapped in a self-driving taxi that decides to drive them to jail. It's a short read, scarcely longer than my average newsletter.

According to former senior justice lawyer and current Executive Director of the John Howard Society of Canada, Catherine Latimer, "the politicization of crime has led to an inflated idea of how much crime is actually occurring within Canada," creating public fears that do not reflect the evidence.

Schools should not be spending and energy policing which kids are and which kids are poor. The effort required to create a system to determine who has to pay for food and who gets it for free is not valuable.
