Love that AI, a thing we hate and don’t want, steals everything, ruins everything, shittifies everything. Drinks our water, plagiarizes our art, pisses all over our information fidelity, drives kids to suicide, serves the right-wing, and fucks up our devices and services. Good job, techbros!

You can't call every step of creeping fascism a distraction from kitchen-table issues and then punt whenever you have a chance to address the kitchen-table issues.

Sparta is the number one con-job of antiquity. Everything these fascist clowns think about it is a lie the Spartans made up to aggrandize themselves.
What empire did Sparta have? Sparta's military existed mostly to keep their slave population under control. They hegemony after the Peloponnesian War lasted only 30 years. They then got obliterated by the Macedonians, turning their town into a tourist attraction for the Romans.

this is partly how we can achieve substantial rewilding, to support sustainable ecosystems and reduce climate change

largely the same with land used to grow food, which has been hijacked to grow subsidies and move up the value chain with excessive, inhumane meat production
Put another way, we could get rid of corn ethanol, switch 30% of the freed-up farmland to solar to generate 100% of US electricity, and use the other 70% of the freed-up land for whatever we want.

Cops were frequently getting caught planting drugs in 2017 because body cameras were new and many of them didn't understand how the technology worked.

When cops hit "record" it saved the 30 seconds from *before* they hit the button. Eventually, they figured it out.

Marimar Martinez is a schoolteacher and U.S. citizen. She had no weapon or criminal record, and a CBP officer still shot her five times.

That same officer then bragged about his horrific actions in a group chat.

It's disgusting, and it's shameful. He must be held accountable.

The replies to this just bursting with people grasping any excuse they can find for not yelling at Republicans. Murc's Law stays winning.
Again, I know everyone wants to yell at The Democrats & Chuck Schumer & Hakeem Jefferies, but there are 10-25 people in Washington who could literally end all of this tomorrow, & none of them are Democrats, & they continue to get 24/7 free passes for being absolute oath-violating cowards. Focus.
Yes, we’re looking at you, Lisa Murkowski & Susan Collins & Thom Tillis, you absolute oath-violating cowards.

Alabama has the worst maternal mortality in the United States at 60 deaths per 100K live births. For reference, California has 18 deaths per 100K live births.

But Dr. Oz thinks it’s “cool” that American citizens do not have access to good reproductive healthcare in the wealthiest nation in history.
Dr Oz: "Alabama has no OBGYNs in many of their counties, so they're doing something pretty cool. They're actually having robots do ultrasounds on these pregnant moms."
