We do, and we gobble it up. We're weirdos and we will choose the pick two every time. :D

I'm not sure anything has been more radicalizing than studying philosophy and then studying business. Ugh. Fuck.

Money and data.

A print that says, "Imagine Sisyphus Happy" on white paper in large sans serif font. The font is in an ombre from red to blue. Unexpectedly, the middle of the ombre became muddled. The print is on a wood table with yellow roses.

Picture two different types of printing press in the art center. I do not know what types of printing press they are. One is black and uses a large plate. The other is silver and uses a cylinder that the paper rolls on. This is the one that was used during the class.

Picture of the wooden letters arranged with the furniture and leading spelling out Imagine Sisyphus Happy backwards to prepare for printing.

Picture of the letter press with the letter blocks prepared for printing. The roller is already inked with red to blue and the letters have also already been inked.

I took a letterpress class at my local arts center. I love typography and the tactile feel of moving the letters and building out the furniture was really lovely.

Trump tells Pentagon to resume testing US nuclear weapons President Donald Trumpon Thursday ordered the U.S. military to immediately restart the process for testing nuclear weapons after a halt of 33 years, a move that appeared to be a message to rival nuclear powers China and Russia.

American democracy at its finest. We're the freest of the free. Hoarding all the freedom. So much freedom I feel oppressed by it.

I'm suddenly feeling called, too. Beautiful.

We aren't disagreeing here.

What makes me sick is that the news is now specifying whether or not people are citizens, bcs citizens get more sympathy. This would not be okay if he was not a citizen either.

I will always strive to be that "sort of liberal."

I hate that I have to walk into a church to vote. So much anxiety and trauma from these institutions.

Just a casual reminder while I was grocery shopping that evangelicals will rally around hating queer people.

Between work, I have been playing Dispatch. It is so, so good. The animation and the storytelling are engaging and thoughtful. It is very light on the gameplay, but it is fun. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jK0c...

Hague Invasion Act. 2002, I think.

This works the same mechanistically as blackness/whiteness, citizen/non-citizen, etc. I am not implying that this treatment or policy makes it harder or as hard as the minority out-group being defined, just explaining the inevitable constriction of rights.

So, you have cis women and girls being forced into unnecessary genital checks (a form of sexual assault) or cis women being told they aren't women because they naturally produce too much testosterone, or being banned from playing in sports.

For example, when we revoke the rights of Trans people, inevitably we have to define who is trans and conversely who is not trans. This defining then ends up hurting cis women and cis men who do not look or fit into the social standard of how a woman or man should appear.

This is just another example of how revoking a group's rights will always lead to the revocation of the majority's rights. The creation of a legal out-group, inevitably means that out-group must be defined and in that definition the in-group gets defined.

Therefore, fear of robots is fear of capital and fear of the cruelty of corporations. Fearing immigrants is a way that capital manipulates people into fearing and demonizing a group of people so capital and corporations can evade responsibility for exploitation and oppression. These are different.

We do not think robots will take our jobs or destroy us because robots are evil. We think robots will take our jobs and destroy us because we know that corporations are evil. Tech industries are beholden to capital and shareholders and often push technologies without concern for consequence.

Waiting for those tyrant prevention measures to start working.

"This snowflake's an avalanche." So. Good.

They're not wrong. It is targeting conservatives. But that is because corruption is a feature of conservatism, not a bug.

It was discombobulating today to watch the same people who cheer on the loss of due process, separation of powers, and restrictions on executive power say things like "Freedom isn't free."

Nothing to see here, just normal presidential behavior. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Oh good, I was looking for more individual solutions to systemic problems.

I never said you were wrong.

You mostly sound like you're replying to the wrong article because there are endless news articles about the causes and proposed solutions to the fires, but that isn't this one.
