3 random poses from old TV show where Jonathan Frakes asks questions, commonly clipped into short video memes 5 years ago. first he's on a laptop by stacks of books, sitting in a leather chair.

here he's in the same room lifting up his leg, sitting on a wooden fancy desk, by a globe. lighting is intense and artificially foggy for dramatic stage-like emphasis.

here he holds a book by a candle at a round table with red plaid cloth, light directly behind him radiates out in soft blue from dark room.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

not looking forward to how this will go but anticipating at some point if the only alternative is them completely getting away with it then it seems like this will be in our not too distant future

like for example the guy doing this shouldn't get to go home (by which I mean arrested on the spot for this crime, detained until trial, found guilty through the ordinary, above board functioning of the legal system enforcing laws for people who break them in situations with clear evidence of guilt)

I fear if things don’t change right now, this image is going to come back to haunt us

Laura Rodriguez, on Twitter:

A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them.

Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents and shares ICE activity across the city, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.

I admittedly haven't kept up with it since, but because it's a largely historical math/philosophy theory topic as opposed to a cutting edge technical computing one or related to discoveries that science instrument innovations could affect I'd guess it's still largely as relevant today as it was then

yeah I guess I'm into tough on crime* policies

*by which I specifically mean ice agents clearly committing felonies and violent crimes daily easily proven guilty by video and call records while lying openly about it should be charged and held accountable for committing felonies and the other crimes

PAY ATTENTION: ICE is filing fake 911 calls in Chicago, weaponizing emergency services to provoke local police.

Ordinary citizens would be charged with a felony. ICE calls it strategy.

We covered this on today's @dailybeanspod.com. Extremely dangerous and these ICE agents should be charged with felonies.

within this context I suppose I'd say better, avoids an inconsistency

but I guess there's also some variation of people who view anything non-human as here for the benefit of humans, like an AI user who thinks it's sentient and eats meat, but still don't like them even though they're consistent-ish

I've tried to keep quiet about this angle per the simpsons observation that you don't win friends with salad, but yeah been vegan 23 years and seeing people who defend factory farming for flavor and tradition wondering if their teddy ruxpin can suffer and needs ethics consideration sure is something

this seems to me like something generally true, to which social media is not an exception, and/or if anything social media is less skewed than other things?

way more people read books than write books, watch videos than make videos, listen to podcasts than record one, play games than develop games
