Two shorts from the same MSN sketch, where the thumbnail for the second is literally just the next line of the sketch.

3) Japanese woman playing two recorders at once with her nose*

Crucially, "it's not sustainable," doesn't only mean "it's not nice,"* but also "it legitimately makes our industry worse at what it does."
Institutional knowledge is an obscenely expensive resource. On a macro scale, this is simply not an efficient way to build complex things.

Discord Isn't Requiring a Face Scan — Your Legislators Are
Yesterday's headline in The Verge had people planning their Discord exodus overnight. But the real story isn't about Discord — it's about legislators demanding surveillance infrastructure.

I'm not sure I have the vocabulary to succinctly describe how weird and yet how tight this performance is. It slaps, and it slaps the strangest slaps I've heard in a *minute*.
10/10 recommend and I have no idea how the algorithm gods saw fit to deliver it to me.
P.S. As ever, we don't deserve KEXP

"Long before Pretti, communities of color learned that constitutional protections do not operate in abstraction; they operate through institutions with guns, authority, and the power to decide in real time whose rights are recognized and whose are ignored."

The Second Amendment Was Never Meant for Everyone
The killing of Alex Pretti, a licensed gun owner, in Minneapolis is waking white Americans up to the reality that rights are conditional.

Unmarked car, no lights or police insignia. Masked armed men leap out. Victim not in the act of committing any crime. This is not how a serious federal law enforcement agency acts in a free society.
How is this not supposed to be a “right wing paramilitary force loyal to the regime”?

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here.

I feel like so much of what we're seeing is the endgame of stuff like referring to those with differing opinions as NPCs and declaring that empathy is a sin.
The overarching message is that those you don't like don't actually count as people. And even if they did, caring about them would be wrong.

SMITH: Yes
Q: And Trump claimed it was stolen while he privately acknowledged he lost?

I had posted earlier about how I couldn’t let Talmage be outside alone waiting for his school bus because some goons might fuck with him. This is what everyday Minnesotans are dealing with. Lawless armed, masked goons perpetuating a federal government-led ethnic cleansing.

Twitter is the world’s largest generator of CSAM & non-consensual porn by a margin of about 8000%, and somehow… MSM isn’t even reporting on it.
(also includes advice for reporting ‘deepfake harassment’ to police if it escalates to a point where restraining order is necessary)

Law enforcement officers CANNOT use deadly force against a fleeing person fleeing unless they have a reasonable belief that the individual poses a danger to others (e.g., they know the person is armed). If in vehicle, the person must be threatening to use deadly force with the vehicle or other means
