What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

Pritzker: "He said he was going after the worst of the worst. It's not going after the worst of the worst when you're just literally stopping children who happen to be brown & asking them for papers as if they're gonna have proof they're a citizen. Pull out your phones and film everything you see"

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

I feel like I'm seeing this all the time now: A Reddit post, a YouTube video, etc. lamenting the dire effects of the proliferation of AI (in this case a teacher talking about their students being rendered unable to think and learn) followed directly by an ad for an AI product

Roald Dahl's "Danny, Champion of the World" springs to mind too, re. poachers as underdog heroes.

"I suppose you realize the penalty for killing the king's deer is death! Whether for serf or noble."

"Really? Are there no exceptions...?"

*To quote a guy on Mastodon:

We went from "we will deport the worst of the worst" to "we will deport anyone here illegally" to "we will round up anyone who looks wrong" to "people who live in cities are the enemy" essentially overnight.

The only bit I remember clearly is that bloke from RoboCop getting yoinked backwards through a boarded-up door.

I haven't seen it since it came out, but I remember it being a fun night at the movies

I was discussing exactly this with some mates at LICAF re. Scott, Blomkamp and Gareth Edwards. Amazing visualists, especially on a tight budget; shame about the story sense.

This is one of my favourite pub rants and if you're very good, maybe I'll subject you to it one day.
