I spent a decade asking what would happen when we had devalued victims to the point where violence goes from witness to “content”

This is the answer

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

Diane Keaton in her Manhattan apartment with Buster, an Abyssinian, photographed by Jill Krementz in 1977

black & white photograph of young Diane Keaton smiling and standing next to a white refrigerator in a barren-looking kitchen. her cat Buster is crouched on top of the fridge playing with/swatting her hair in the upper right hand corner. she's wearing a long skinny white scarf with a dot-grid pattern, a high-neck white blouse with an ascot/kerchief around the neck, and a black blazer/skirt or blazer dress over what looks like a vest

Linux: it no longer squirts acid at you while using it. Unless you are trying to use the terminal.

The big complaint most people have with modern linux is that they have to deal with people who use Linux.

But, even 5 years ago it was that it would regularly zap them into seizures with each key press.

One of the most exciting things modern Linux has is, of course, games.

There are games on Linux, such as Spreadsheet and Calculator and Screensaver. There is even a game called Terminal but no one has ever beat it.

In basically any modern Linux you pick, you can nowadays install web browsers that do *not* cause hooks to erupt from the walls and flay you.

Nowadays this flaying hook feature is mostly confined to uncommon programs such as calculator, spreadsheet, text editor

If the end of windows 10 is making you switch to Linux, good news: recompiling the kernel can now be done *without* blood sacrifice. They patched that out like a decade ago. No blood sacrifice needed.

You will merely have to give up a cherished memory, though.

They are dragging 15 year old girls and hiding the case files of people who did things to 15 year old girls

At what point does it not matter what needs to be “released”

As opposed to making sure that until it is they don’t have access to kids

The newest Gorillaz song is one of the most aggressive examples of this phenomena we've ever seen

[Verse 2: Proof]
You never seen a killer with fangs and millimetres
That bang and killers need to be swangin' and still I reach ya
Y'all aren't ready for death until I showed up
Hold breath until you blow the one set my niggas throw up
How many times I gotta prove, y'all not to test me?
This uz' can be deadly, slugs move through your chest piece
It's all reality, beefin' with your blocks
Got you creepin' with your glock, now you sleepin' in a box
No one can convince the invincible to be sensible
Pits in the principal, my pistol won’t miss you all
Why shouldn't I diss you, dawg? I'm Leatherface
This E&J make me say your DNA's genetic waste
A medic case that’ll detonate, Dirty Harry
A pathetic taste, a shroomhead that murder fairies
A recovering heroin addict, looking down the barrel of my parent's attic
Got this shotgun just swerving at it
My triggers have turned a pump into a uzi
You chumps do not move me, y'all jump inside movies
You scary dudes that hide behind ya niggas
Confide inside a squealer and died beneath a river
My urban strikes a lot—
(Oh, I'm just fuckin', alright, come on, let's go)

[Chorus: 2-D]
Ah, the mountain, it is high
Yeah, the mountain's sad so the mountain cry
Tin god, the braided day
But the mountain stays on still
Don't lose yourself
If you don't stop now, then you're never gonna be done
Living under your gilded sun
On the mountain
(O-o-o-okay)

I prefer “anti-fascist“ for a host of reasons and this is a nice practical one.

Ify Nwadiwe @ifycomedy.com · 14h

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

What Thiel is saying about tax havens = what Altman is saying about copyright:

"I can't be rich unless you let me steal from you."

This is how Broligarchs differ from oligarchs of yore: the latter tried to hide their thievery; the Broligarchs trumpet their entitlement to steal as a natural right.

Peter Thiel strikes me as a guy who somehow drove himself mad trying to come up with little quips for cocktail parties. If you pay attention to his political statements, they are all oft-repeated anecdotes and observations where the payoff is that he's actually quite clever.
