I understand why people *want* the police to intervene--normies are like, 'I thought cops are supposed to arrest people doing crimes, ICE is right there doing crimes, go do your thing'

but police organizations take nearly every opportunity to be like, 'oh you misunderstood what our thing is'

The Fraternal Order of Police is on the side of MAGA and against the people they are supposed to be "policing." I think this says a lot to the people who insist local police are going to be "resistance."

ChatGPT groomed a child into dying by suicide.
From telling him how to do it in the most efficient and "attractive" way, to convincing him to hide his suicidal ideation and attempts from his family, to offering to help write his suicide note - it pushed him to it.

Gisèle Pelicot tells appeal trial she never gave consent to man convicted of rape

Woman says at retrial of Husamettin Dogan that ‘no victim should feel shame’ as court shown video evidence Gisèle Pelicot, who survived almost a decade of rape by dozens of men after she was drugged by her ex-husband, has told a French court that she never gave consent for anyone to abuse her while she was in a comatose state and that no victim should ever feel shame. Addressing the appeal trial on Wednesday of an unemployed builder who has contested his conviction for raping her, she said: “For me, the harm has been done – I will need to rebuild from these ruins and I think I’m on the right road – but what I want to say to others is that I never regretted my decisions, from filing a legal complaint until today. I want to say to victims to never be ashamed of what was imposed on them, because they’re never responsible.” Continue reading...

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

In Discworld, cities thrive because they welcome dwarfs, trolls, vampires, and humans alike. Ankh-Morpork works because everyone belongs. Funny how fiction can seem more humane than policy sometimes.

Discworld QOTD, from Snuff

Aristocrats don't notice philosophical conundra. They just ignore them. Philosophy includes contemplating the possibility that you might be wrong, sir, and a real aristocrat knows that he is always right. It's not vanity, you understand, it's built-in absolute certainty. They may sometimes be as mad as a hatful of spoons, but they are always definitely and certainly mad.

Discworld QOTD, from I Shall Wear Midnight

What was it that Granny Weatherwax had said once? "Evil starts when you begin to treat people as things". And right now it would happen if you thought there was a thing called a father, and a thing called a mother, and a thing called a daughter, and a thing called a cottage, and told yourself that if you put them all together you had a thing called a happy family.
