#ICE agents "just following orders" for a paycheck should be sure to set aside 50-100% of take-home salary for a defense attorney, as international criminal law has never accepted that as a valid excuse for #HumanRights violations.

You want me to be really provocative? Your religion is a choice. My genetics are not.

Who the fuck cares, are we not all human beings? Here's an idea: why don't you stop border disputes by realizing that Jews have thrived throughout the world and have contributed greatly to the cultures of all countries, whether they claimed it as theirs or not.

This is the fucked up world we live in: Just off camera are two individuals seeking charity...OUTSIDE A CHURCH! I stood for several minutes, watching churchgoers walk by, including two who blessed themselves right in front of the woman they ignored. Surely you are not Christians. You are wicked.

I really dislike having to use toilet paper again after almost 6 months in Asia where nearly every toilet (even in a shed) has a sprayer.

I imagine there are those neo-Luddites who decry #AI #writing while unabashedly using Grammarly to write their criticisms.

On #American #IndependenceDay, watching a Brit talk about the "Boston Massacre," propaganda taught ambiguously as fact to every #US school child as raison d'etre for the mess of lies they still believe centuries later.

80%+ of #American #lawyers are absolute #evil scum who should be stripped of citizenship as traitors to the #US constitution and sent to internment camps (the kind you don't come back from). This isn't racist or xenophobic or genocidal, it's #justice.

Perhaps neither side realizes that every time a Democrat bitches about Trump, a conservative evangelical gets their wings. Ditto when Dems are in power, but heaven and hell are a lot blurrier.

I used the term Veblen good in a post yesterday and on reflection realized that I may be thinking of something different. I know a Veblen good's demand increases as price increases. Luxury good. But then why does Hermes have keychains by the register and Apple sells low-cost models of its products?

I was just thinking about how far Apple has strayed from Steve Jobs vision who I think did care about user functionality and the end product quality. And he's definitely dead...

Oh right, now I get it: instead of providing for everyone, selfish greed and capitalism create goods for those who can afford them, perpetuating its own engine. Even in Nepal, which elects members of the "Communist" party.

Since becoming aware of my desire to climb Maslow's pyramid, I've perceived its effects in SF, Thailand, and now Nepal. It seems challenging to self-actualize (let alone "transcend") when life (of many I've met, including me at times) seems dependent on the next dollar, baht, or rupee.

Which is it? A) A bunch of random **** happens and we try to make sense of it B) We actualize the patterns that define our #life C) Both D) Neither E) Other:

As a white guy living in Asia for going on 6 months, I'm beginning to see what being singled out by race means. Not necessarily "bad" but walking through the streets of Nepal, for example, does attract attention, whether posing with a youth football team or acknowledging frequent requests for money.

@governor.ca.gov if you kick people out of their homes to renovate yours (plural) by illegally invoking the #EllisAct no one in #SF will have a home but you and @speakerpelosioffic.bsky.social

To those who exist in misery victimizing themselves with every kind of self-deceit believing that material wealth brings happiness, I say to you: what have you got to show for it; and why hasn't it?

This is America for many folks. If you don't like it, I'm sure you won't read the uncomfortable truth, but that doesn't change reality and the universe doesn't care what you like: qnfo.org/notes/0.5/20...

Systematic injustice and corruption may seem to go unpunished, but there is a public record of misdeeds. Just ask Nazi war criminals, Saddam Hussein, and the Ceaușescus. Many thought they got away with it... until the firing squad of regime change.

First they came for the poor, you called them lazy. Then they came for Black lives, you said they deserved it. Then they came for immigrants, you built a wall. Then they came for those on assistance, you said they needed to work harder for your tax dollars (that you dodged anyway)...
