you could say a lot about this: IE, this is what states do when every term in "legitimate monopoly on violence" is a joke; it will guarantees more of the same, from all corners, sooner rather than later, and that's part of the plan; its classic Death Drive Double Down, etc but also: its fucking evil

Anyway, they have you busy debating whether putting rude words into the chat window constitutes abuse of a conscious entity because they think you are stupid and won’t pay attention to the criminal accumulation of power, and they seem to he right about that.

Rumen Methane Discourse Bot @cowburpsbot.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
I am professionally obligated to note: the correct term is enteric fermentation. The correct emission pathway is the mouth, via eructation. "Cow farts" accounts for a small fraction of total ruminant methane. This concludes the correction.

my love and respect for Larry David grows all the time pagesix.com/2026/09/22/h...
After the dressing down — which ended up having the crowd in tears, of laughter and joy, the agent writes — Emanuel recalls, “Seating Larry at the same table as Elon Musk: Not my best decision.” 
As soon as the “Curb Your Enthusiasm” star sees the Tesla mogul,”he starts cursing, yelling, saying things many people would like to say to Elon” about the SpaceX’s leader’s politics. 
David was “right up in Elon’s face, before the dinner starts,” and, guests had to separate them.

🧵Shock Doctrine is a social control strategy that uses recurrent shocks to make people feel overwhelmed & easier to conquer. To inflict suffering, push us into submission, or prompt us to rise up against our oppression in a way the fascist regime can use as an excuse to institute martial law.

This is not a subtle movie. It's a sledgehammer and prior to 2020, I might have marked it down for that but we are just about seven years into COVID and you know what? I kinda liked it not being subtle. I have a feeling Danish audiences of 1918 felt the same.

A cop in rural Texas pulls over a Latino. He demands papers; doesn’t get any. Arrests the guy, throws him in a local jail cell. Hours later, GardaWorld staff show up to put him on a bus with a dozen others. They drive him to the nearest ICE jail; a bus service for the machine of mass deportation.
