guards ignore—but are trained—that withdrawal is a life threatening condition, and ignoring someone in withdrawal is both deliberate and indifferent

the fact that they were *wrong* about this person’s emergency doesn’t make their conduct any less deliberate or indifferent

A lawsuit alleges a Black postal worker died after officers ignored clear signs he was suffering from a massive stroke, believing his medical emergency was drugs

I'm sorry, but I can't get over how bad that fake gold looks. It's not even gold plated. The gold-coloured paint on the new gaudy White House decorations looks better than this, that's how bad it is.

A reporter reached out to them and that probably put the fear of embarrassing an incredibly vindictive man-child into them.

Also, even without the typo that watch looks cheap as hell. My most expensive one is a Citizen that is a couple hundred dollars less than that and it looks so much nicer. If I saw that without the branding, I'd have guessed maybe $30, $50 if I was generous. At that point, get a Casio. They're great.

Oh my gods, when he said he expected it to have "the integrity of the president" I think my brain almost collapsed. Stories of his "integrity" have been everywhere, years before the golden escalator ride. These are people who would still sign up for Trump University, FFS.

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure living a few thousand years would be fine. But after the heat death of the universe, then what?

I was on a Mastodon instance where the person running it decided not to anymore. I was able to migrate to a different one but lost all of my posts.

I mean it isn't going to win Dems elections. The appeal is what's costing them.

*I know you didn't mention Palestine, but that was another issue that cost Democrats the election. A namby-pamby appeal to "the center" isn't going to cost Dems elections, just as the GOP doesn't have to. The Democrats should maybe try making a firm moral stand instead.

Out of curiosity, which of your rights are you willing to give up or which family members are you willing to see die to get Democrats elected?
LGBTQI+ and Palestinian-Americans* are voters too. Why should those votes not be earned? Are you willing to be deported to El Salvador?

Another Canadian online #MTG retailer is moving to #Shopify. First Face to Face, and now @wizardstower.bsky.social. Now I need to find another site that isn't using those right wing a-holes. I will stop playing Magic before I use a Shopify store.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.
