What an opening.
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.

The surface of Mars occupies most of the scene, the limb of the planet to the right (with space beyond). In the upper centre is the massive Olympus Mons. The small dark body is the larger of Mars' two moons, Phobos.

They don't have capacity to terrorize more than 2-3 cities at a time. Which means they rotate teams to new cities without relief. Which means consistent resistance by fresh activists in each new city will break them over time. Which means if you're city's not occupied, rest up and get ready.

Do you remember that meme awhile back of the guy asking someone on the street "you have to choose between universal healthcare and trans rights," and the guy said "both, I reject your premise." That's the kind of thing all of us need to get comfortable with. Rejecting the premise.

The Battle of Waterloo, 1815. Wait a minute, why are they wearing equipment from 101 years later? Something to look out for when admiring manuscripts from the middle ages is that they often depict events from history with the arms and armour of the current day (Pretend I painted this in 1916 lol)
