NEW: Elon Musk's Grok chatbot will, with minimal prompting, provide residential addresses of everyday Americans.
Prompts as simple as "[name] address" immediately returned accurate home addresses of private citizens — alongside other personal info we didn't ask for.

This country's relationship with substance is so fucking weird.
On one hand, you can buy substances that are fully legal and somewhat cheap that will ruin your fucking life.
On the other, we'll perform military action on random boats to "protect Americans" from "narcoterrorism".

Prison rape is wrong.
Jokes about prison rape are wrong.
Eliminating protections against prison rape is wrong.
If another country sentenced a criminal to be raped, we'd consider it a crime against humanity.
BUT
A large segment of Americans regard prison rape as a de facto part of the sentence.

US Citizen detained by ICE: Clearly it didn't matter that I was a citizen, a veteran, or identified who I was. They ignored everything I said. They just broke my window and dragged me out. I let them know I was a veteran, I wasn't doing anything wrong, just trying to get to work.

The murders of Fred Hampton and Mark Clark would lead to the revelation of the FBI's COINTELPRO: A program which was designed to sabotage the activity of, at least, the Black Panther party, and create the illusion of them being an ultimate and criminal threat to the USA's well-being.
"If you ever think about me, and if you ain’t gonna do no revolutionary act, forget about me. I don’t want myself on your mind, if you’re not gonna work for the people."
On this day in 1969, Fred Hampton was shot to death by Chicago, Cook County and federal police as he slept in his apartment.

I've been wondering if police organizations have a leaderboard for abusive behavior, and if you get up to the top five, you get a promotion.
Horrifying story: Chicago promoted two police officers even after investigators found they engaged in sexual misconduct. That’s because the Chicago Police Department’s promotions system allows officers’ disciplinary records to be ignored.

fwiw: GOG is still hosting 'Horses' in its catalogue, and you can buy it now for about 5 bucks USD if you're inclined to. Still doesn't negate the fact that Steam and Epic are both total fuckshows right now, but at least GOG is interested in video game preservation and artistic integrity.

this is true, if you're in the middle of suffering you're less likely to make great art than to get really high and build a bunch of little bases in fallout 4
“Great art comes from suffering” is contingent on surviving the suffering, and only applies like a decade down the line

One of the most striking things about these ICE/BP raids is not that they’re all kitted out for war while going after people who didn’t do anything wrong and don’t pose a threat, but that they always bring a camera crew.
