and here's my point, and it comes from a place of deep curiosity: Trump is so clearly a unique danger in a way that is just demonstrably true. It's cartoonish. It's self-evident. It may even be era-definingly urgent. Why is the better-than-placid way to deal with that danger in a contextual vacuum?

"yes, and ..." is not the same as "well, what about ..." so, returning to melanoma, when we ask a dermatologist to remove a suspect mole, are we expecting them to excise tissue but otherwise silently watch you raw-dog the sun's rays as you leave? or can we all reach for if not grasp the larger issue

You might, say, move into a rented flat with mould. I don't think it would be reasonable to characterise activists supporting the rights of renters, academics who study other similar moulds, oversight of building safety codes, or people with similar experiences as "no better than the placid."

bsky.app/profile/whst... "I mean we’ve all been there: some [physician] is tearing into [cancer], you’re thinking “right on,” and then suddenly they’re wheeling off into [care, prevention & expertise] and it’s like, ["oh, you're not consumed by the horror of my diagnosis? That's placid behaviour."]

That would make sense of the three characterisations of left-of-centre attitudes to, in the analogy set forth, an environmental constant and an individual's experience of that as an independently lethal state. I bump on the idea that hatred is a tool being misused or unused bsky.app/profile/whst...

This is an interesting point because you're colloquially using symptom to mean a demonstrable consequence that serves as evidence to its cause. I wonder if the post quoted was using symptom to mean the subjective experience of a body as opposed to a visible sign in response to a malady.

and presumably this one where she underlines she's deliberate about whose money she'll take, too
a cropped screenshot of Sydney Morning Herald article quoting Ray 'Raygun' Gunn saying “I didn’t plan for any of this, but it would be silly not to leverage this moment, so I’m just taking it as it comes, and if I get an opportunity that resonates with my values and personality, then yeah, let’s work together.” The article includes 5 images of her routine during the Paris Olympics in various poses.

ok Gandalf
static.klipy.com
It's Quite Cool
Alt: Gandalf holds a cursed ring he knows will absolutely ruin the life of a young Hobbit with a pair of tongs and assures the Hobbit he's about to curse. Subtitles appear with Sir McKellen's line "It's Quite Cool" despite the already very cursed ring he's spent a whole montage researching also being in a fire for a medically unsafe amount of time and being made of presumably a metal that would conduct and hold the heat of that fire, and doing no on-screen work making sure that it is indeed safe. What I'm basically saying is Gandalf is a cop, the ring is a trap and I'm implying you're not to be trusted in a way only a Hobbit would fall for

some of the crimes people are being accused of sound kind of bad-ass
screenshot of text from the ft dot com article.

Text reads: "In the Turnberry case, Scottish prosecutors highlighted the apparent political nature of the incident. The indictment reads: “You did . . . paint political offensive slogans on the grass, score a political slogan into the turf, paint political and offensive slogans on a building, walls and pillars.”

In March last year, before the UK banned Palestine Action, Trump described the alleged vandals as “terrorists” who should be “treated harshly”.

[the names of the accused are replaced by a black rectangle]

Three of the defendants, [Surnames almost completely obscured except for a bit of a comma because I'm lazy and detail disoriented] are additionally charged with [and the following is highlighted by me in blue] attempting to “defeat the ends of justice”."

If you're determined to do capitalism, let people buy stuff even if they won't use it and don't need it. Don't let the whole end-stage hype make you forget your fundamentals.

a wide field of view image of the dinner scene from Resident Evil 7 Biohazard where the family eat together all at the table with no distractions, no phone allowed. the AI generated speech bubble from OP's post has been pasted into a very roughly cut MSPaint speech bubble with the point that would indicate the speaker either at the wrong place out of laziness or incidentally making it appear that the POV character in this scene is saying these words: "anyone remember when dinner meant everyone at the table... no phone allowed, no distractions, just talking about your day?" in all caps comic sans font
