Ok, sincere post time.

Tonight is fun and it's great to watch shitty people get dunked on. Enjoy it.

But the work continues tomorrow. People's lives are still in danger. People still can't afford food or to pay their bills. This is not the finish line, my friends. This is just the beginning.

Textbook dystopia. I know it's not the most important thing, but I have to ask: did none of these people read dystopian literature growing up (or hell, watch dystopian movies)? I just have such a visceral revulsion to this that I think was honed by years and years of consuming dystopian media.
New: Videos show ICE/CBP agents are scanning peoples' faces on the street to verify citizenship. ICE has tool to instantly look up unprecedented number of databases with just a photo

“I’m an American citizen so leave me alone”

“Alright, we just got to verify that”

ICE and CBP Agents Are Scanning Peoples’ Faces on the Street To Verify Citizenship
Videos on social media show officers from ICE and CBP using facial recognition technology on people in the field. One expert described the practice as “pure dystopian creep.”

maybe Burgis and Marcetic just have different views on this, neither of which is the editorial line, maybe there's a case for believing Platner's conversion story, insert other relevant caveats I guess but seems pretty odd to me

It’s fun watching a new generation discover all the weirdos I grew up with in my youth via their constant talk show appearances. In this instance, Curtis Sliwa.

The fact that everyone totally ignores C3PO when he says stuff like this makes a lot more sense if you think of him as a ChatGPT type computer who just says plausible sounding sentences without any real analysis behind them.
